YC-backed Raindrop launches Simulations to catch AI agent failures pre-production
ycombinator · x · 2026-09-18
Raindrop (@raindropai) is building the safety layer for AI agents. As agents take on more complex work, Raindrop detects when they go wrong in production — from failed tool calls and hallucinations to failure modes companies didn't even know to look for.
The team is now launching Raindrop Simulations, bringing the same approach earlier in the development process to catch failures before shipping.
