Plurai wants to help AI agents work better using the same approach that helped get self-driving cars to roads
AI agents are all the rage, but they’re not quite as capable as their purveyors would have you believe.
Efforts to benchmark agents tasked with complex work show that they aren’t typically reliable enough to function without close supervision. LiveBench 2.0 shows Claude Fable 5.2 and ChatGPT-6 Astra succeeding on 82.9 and 75.6 out of 100 tasks, respectively, and an effort by the AI infrastructure company EON to test agents in a simulated corporate environment found the most successful model tested, Claude Opus 4.8, performed tasks at 76.8% accuracy.
Now, a startup known as Plurai wants to boost those numbers with the same techniques that put self-driving cars on the street: Simulations using synthetic data based on a company’s own digital systems, meant to prepare models to tackle difficult edge cases.
Co-founders Ilan Kadar and Elad Levi previously worked for Nexar, which develops autonomous driving technology. Kadar worked with Waymo...
