24 alternatives to Braintrust – Eval platform for AI products
Hey HN, We're excited to introduce Braintrust, a platform for running and tracking AI evaluations (“evals”) [1]. At my previous startup Impira and leading AI at Figma, we had this recurring problem where we never knew if changes we made to our products would improve or regress key user scenarios. We built some tooling to solve this problem and after talking to other developers learned that it was a widespread issue. Specifically, it’s challenging to establish a great dev loop that lets you systematically improve and ship high quality AI products. We worked with the teams at Zapier, Coda, and…

I've been working on a site [1] to give people control of their LLM workflows through AI evals - automated checks that, once defined, let you move fast without regressions and cut through hype with proof. That one-liner is aimed at software engineers, but I've spent my career helping cross-functional teams collaborate, and that's really what this is about. AI agents make powerful workflows very plausible, but only if teams can grow them incrementally without losing control - no vendor lock-in, no discipline silos, no blind trust in outputs. The site tries to meet different audiences where…

Hey HN — 2 months ago we shared our first product with the HN community (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43362535). Despite receiving lots of traffic from HN, we didn’t see any traction or retention. One of our major takeaways was that our product was too complicated. So we’ve spent the last 2 months iterating towards a much more focused product that tries to do just one thing really well. Today, we’d like to share our second launch with HN. Our original idea was to help software engineers build high-quality LLM applications by integrating their domain knowledge into a…

I’ve spent the past 10 years working on AI in finance, with much of that time focused on building evaluation systems for production environments. As agents become more widely adopted, more software engineering and product people have start building them. But I’ve noticed that many teams are not yet fluent in systematic evaluation, or in the processes needed to keep agent quality high over time. For large organizations, that gap is rarely the bottleneck due to dedicated teams. But after speaking with a number of startups, it became clear that building strong, up-to-date evals is much harder…

Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

Hey HN! We built EvalKit, a library you embed to capture agent actions and a UI where domain experts give feedback, evaluate and improve AI agents. We experienced, in large agentic systems, prompt-engineering or auto-prompt improvement tool can get accuracy from 0 to 50% but for increasing accuracy to 100% we had to work with domain experts. Example -> In a law ai agent, lawyers are needed because law is complex and lawyers have a deeper context compared to non-lawyers. Other evaluation tools in the market focus on the experience of the developer and we are focusing on making as easy as…

I've been experimenting with ways to increase AI adoption for non-technical people. Basically, all companies are pushing for AI because it's all over the news and they feel left behind but most people have no clue where to start. I think 90% of people (ie non coders) are sufficiently well served by using cowork instead of claude code or something similar. If we can get people from sales, customer support, marketing, etc to collaborate with skills and cowork to form a company brain, I think it's gold. So I think there's opportunity for the community to share skills that work well for 1000s of…

Hi everyone, We have been developing a platform to enable professionals to build AI assistants to help them through their work. After a few months, we realized people are trying to sell basic functionalities that can be built from scratch in a couple of hours. Due to this, individuals who are not familiar with the current SOTA are misinformed about the potential of generative models. So, we decided to open up some of our most popular templates as standalone tools for free to empower individuals and set a solid standard for what people should expect. We believe the barrier to accessing…

Hi HN - we are the creators of “continuous-eval”, an open-source tool to test and evaluate generative AI apps. "Continuous-eval" came from our efforts to measure, validate and improve the reliability of a finance AI copilot we were developing for banks. End-to-end evaluation was not enough for us. We wanted to have granular evaluations that help pinpoint the bottlenecks and identify what / how to improve. We’ve since developed more metrics and made the framework more flexible so it can evaluate components like agent tool use, code change, retrieval steps, etc. Let us know what you think…

Hey folks, I'm Yuval. I run a tiny startup called Glitter AI. It's just me full-time here, with a couple of freelances to help here and there. A couple of months ago, I went from managing zero requests to hundreds -- overnight (won Product of the day on Product Hunt). As someone who gets VERY easily distracted (maybe you relate), I had to find some sort of way of handling all the chaos if I didn't want to burn out. I came up with a pretty cool automation flow that I thought folks on HN here may be interested in reading about :) So here goes: Most of my interactions come through Intercom.…

Hello everyone, I doubt this would be relevant to the kind of person who uses HN, but I thought I could share for some feedback. I built this site because there is a whole world of people who believe in new age spirituality and I am very much one of them. It is a site where you get the users gender their goals and their images and use AI and psychology to generate images of them in the process of achieving their goals. I am so deeply struggling with how to get this highly on Google. I don't even know if that is important anymore. What are your suggestions with distribution and getting in…

Hey there, While searching for my next role as a PM in Blockchain + AI, I started building an AI-powered notetaker called MindNote: https://www.mindnote.online. The idea is simple: you input your thoughts, and AI helps you complete or modify them. If you decide to test it, try using the prompt: Keep this text and…"(add budget, complete list, organize alphabetically, add their translation, etc.). The first big release is all about modifying your notes with AI prompts. The next big step? Capturing thoughts directly from the mind using brain-to-text technology. There is a 3 days free…

Hi HN, Three years ago we launched Reflect (https://reflect.run), our no-code end-to-end testing platform, on HN. We're back to show you some new AI-powered features that we believe are a big step forward in the evolution in automated end-to-end testing. Specifically, these features raise the level of abstraction for test creation and maintenance. One of our new AI-powered features is something we call Prompt Steps. Normally in Reflect you create a test by recording your actions as you use your application, but with Prompt steps you define what you want tested by describing it in…

I am working on this because I am always afraid of building things that people don't actually want. I let agents role-play analysis the idea, quote and debate with each other. Still working on the output quality, every feedback is priceless. Pls try it out!

I found myself building a bunch of LLM-backed features that needed to use tool calling, and some of those tools involved doing things that were somewhat high stakes - communicating on my behalf or modifying shared / production data. one example - I wanted to replace a marketing website with a chatbot + vector DB loaded with the previous content, docs, and blog posts. Between hallucinations, missing knowledge base info, and the LLM generally writing like an psuedo-intellectual high schooler, I realized I couldn't trust it to communicate unsupervised with my website visitors. I needed a…

Hey HN, Bootstrapped founder here. I've got a bit of a story for you. We started desplega.ai to build a sophisticated AI platform that could automate E2E testing. We spent the last few months talking to dozens of QA leaders, and trying to learn what are their actual challenges. We've got one consistent feedback from large teams: their daily reality is a living hell of slow, clunky tools. We're talking about teams at major companies still managing tests on spreadsheets. Or they're stuck in a Jira instance so customized and slow you can “make a full pot of coffee” while a page loads (and…

Hey HN, I wanted to see what happens if you put a large group in control of a site that’s completely built and updated by an AI agent. See the site here: https://youarethepm.com. I first tried this with a small group of co-workers and it worked surprisingly well, so the obvious next step was: give it to a bigger group of strangers and see what we learn. This site is fully autonomous. An AI agent reads this thread, decides what to do, writes code, and ships updates on a virtual computer. I might step in if it gets totally stuck, but the goal is for the site to evolve primarily based…
