đ Ex-Waymo simulation engineers raise $13M to crash-test AI agents before they go live
Startup Plurai has raised a $13 million seed round led by Team8 to bring self-driving-car style simulation to AI agents. It builds a digital twin of a company's systems, such as its knowledge base and tools, maps every path an agent could take, and uses that to find and fix edge cases. Co-founder Ilan Kadar, who worked with Waymo on simulating its driving software, says the bigger goal is training small open-weight models for each customer at far lower cost than frontier models.
â Agents still fail too often to run unsupervised. Testing them like robocars could be what gets them into real business workflows.
