Kashikoi
Kashikoi is a simulation engine that autonomously evaluates AI agents by simulating real-world interactions, with custom metrics, comparisons and connectors built for your stack.

Introduction
Kashikoi simulates real-world interactions to evaluate an agent autonomously, so teams stop babysitting evals. Its process is three steps: test, evaluate and improve your AI.
Metrics, comparisons and visualisations are tailored to your requirements, and the team builds custom connectors to your AI stack for full coverage. Recommendations from runs suggest concrete improvements, such as tightening alert logic or broadening training coverage.
When you evaluate Kashikoi, script a handful of realistic conversations that previously went wrong in production and check whether its simulations reproduce them. A testing tool for agents earns its place when it catches the regressions your team already knows about, before it is trusted to find new ones.
Launch and background: Y Combinator’s company directory lists Kashikoi in its Spring 2025 batch, with the one-liner “Simulation Engine for Benchmarking AI Products”.
