๐ 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.
โญ Agents still fail too often to run unsupervised. Testing them like robocars could be what gets them into real business workflows.
