Plurai announced $13 million in seed funding and the general availability of its AI-agent testing platform in a company release Wednesday. Team8 led the round, with participation from U&I, Velocity and Mercer.
The company said its platform creates a simulated version of an agent’s working environment, using a customer’s knowledge base, tools and policies. It runs simulated users and difficult scenarios against the agent to identify failures before deployment, then uses the results to test fixes and train smaller models for specific tasks.
Plurai said the platform, previously limited to selected partners and customers, is now open to developers with a free tier. It can be used through development tools including Claude Code, Codex and GitHub Copilot, and with enterprise agent platforms such as Salesforce Agentforce, according to the announcement.
The startup was founded by Chief Executive Ilan Kadar and Chief Technology Officer Elad Levi. Both previously worked at Nexar, where their work included AI systems for autonomous-driving applications, the company said.
Plurai reported that design partners reduced failures reaching users by 82% and operating costs by 97%. Those are company-reported results, not independently verified performance guarantees. Its comparisons with larger AI models involved a particular enterprise customer workload, not a general measure of model capability.
