Era launches free: a simulated enterprise for testing AI agents with known ground truth
aakashgupta · x · 2026-10-05
Eon's Era is live and free: it generates a complete simulated enterprise that behaves realistically across Salesforce, Slack, Jira, Zendesk, Gong, Deel and more, with agents interacting via live MCP and API interfaces — and since Era built the environment, it knows the exact ground truth.
Context:
- Salesforce research found leading agents succeed 58% on single-turn CRM tasks and 35% on multi-turn; benchmarks are still tidier than real companies.
- Real companies are messy in specific ways: duplicate records, contradictory Slack escalations, rate limits — asking a model to invent a test company yields tidy, self-consistent data.
- Workflow: test and benchmark agents against realistic workloads, use failures for targeted post-training, then rerun the same environment.
