Coval evaluates AI voice and chat agents like self-driving cars

Coval, a startup founded by ex-Waymo tech lead Brooke Hopkins, uses simulation techniques to evaluate AI voice and chat agents, similar to testing self-driving cars. The platform runs numerous simulations to assess agent performance on various tasks. Coval raised $3.3 million in seed funding led by MaC Venture Capital, aiming to expand its team and develop capabilities for evaluating other AI agents. As interest in AI agents grows, Coval's platform could help enterprises assess the technology's reliability and performance.
