Launch YC: Vocera - Testing & Evaluation for AI Voice Agents
"Launch reliable voice agents in minutes not weeks."

TL;DR The founders were building voice agents in healthcare and spending too much time testing them manually, and they still failed in production due to an edge case. Vocera came out of that experience. They help companies building AI voice agents deploy more reliable bots faster. Vocera tests efficiently, identifies issues early, and demonstrates reliability before going live—all while enabling rapid development thereafter.

Founded by Tarush Agarwal, Shashij Gupta & Sidhant Kabra

The Team:

The founders met over eight years ago during their undergraduate at IIT Bombay.

Tarush comes from quantitative finance, where he worked on simulations for ultra-low latency trading strategies (think nanoseconds!).

Shashij has previously researched NLP at Google Research and is the first author of a paper on testing AI systems reliably, which has 50+ citations from his work at ETH Zurich.

Sidhant comes from a consulting background advising CEOs at Fortune 500 companies in FMCG and medical devices. He managed P&L in a 10 Mn+ ARR in a conversational AI company.

Deal

50% off on all Vocera plans for the first 2 months with a 100% money-back guarantee (no questions asked). If you are building in voice AI, please reach out.

Problem: Anything can go wrong in production

Most teams building in voice, including the founders, have faced these challenges:

  1. Demonstrating reliability to a client before going live.
  2. Manually calling & testing their AI voice agents, which is slow & error-prone.
  3. Identifying all the edge cases in their workflow.

The Solution: Automated evaluations using adversarial voice agents

Run Monte-Carlo-like simulations using curated test sets. Here’s how Vocera helps:

  1. Simulate Conversations: Vocera AI recreates realistic interactions using a library of workflows and personas.
  2. Replay Old Conversations: Use real voice from painful production calls to run accurate simulations.
  3. Automated Scenario Generation: Pass in your call recording, and Vocera AI will generate all the possible scenarios.
