Why look beyond Ashr?
Ashr is a test and evaluation platform purpose-built for AI agents. Part of YC W2026, it was founded by Shreyas Kaps (Fortune 100 AI agent experience) and Rohan Kulkarni (CTO, ex-Berkeley AI startup exit). Since agents cannot be unit tested like traditional APIs — inputs are unstructured, outputs are probabilistic, and failure modes are creative — Ashr generates synthetic but authentic user stories that flow through your product.
Common reasons users explore alternatives
- Very early stage with only 2 people — scaling support uncertain
- Paid pricing tiers not publicly disclosed
- Competes with Braintrust, Arize, and LangSmith expanding into agent testing
- SDK-only integration may limit adoption with non-technical teams
