Bay Area-based startup Braintrust has secured $3 million in funding to develop its platform designed to help engineers build more reliable AI software. The company's technology aims to prevent AI models from producing inaccurate results, such as a customer support chatbot providing false information. Braintrust's investors include renowned angel investor Elad Gil, Adam D’Angelo of Quora, Clem Delangue of HuggingFace, and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman.

Braintrust's platform operates within clients' cloud environments, enabling it to navigate potential compliance issues. The company is currently working with firms such as Zapier and Coda, which are beta testing its product. Braintrust's solution allows companies to input large amounts of data, run evaluations against it, and curate 'golden datasets' to measure the effectiveness of their software. The startup is entering a competitive market, with other companies such as Digma and Kolena also recently securing funding for similar platforms.

Key takeaways:

  • A growing amount of code being generated today is “AI-assisted,” with estimates suggesting that up to 40% of the code uploaded to GitHub Copilot is both “AI-generated and unmodified.”
  • Startups like Digma and Kolena are emerging to help prevent AI-augmented code from causing issues, with Digma recently raising $6 million in seed funding and Kolena raising $15 million.
  • Braintrust, a Bay Area-startup, has recently raised $3 million in funding to develop an “operating system for engineers building AI software,” which aims to help them avoid bad results from AI models.
