About

Kashikoi is a simulation engine to benchmark AI agents. We generate CPU friendly world models that autonomously interview agents and generate deep behavioral assessments. We built a similar technology at Moveworks which was used to ship 250+ enterprise agents to customers daily.

Founders

Tim MichaudFounder
Tim is a Founder of Kashikoi. Before Kashikoi, Tim worked at Moveworks(ServiceNow) where he was responsible for securing 250+ enterprise agents. He built automated red teaming software that broke GPT-4, as well as guardrails and offline jobs to protect Moveworks' agents from attackers. For fun he built his own model which found vulnerabilities in macOS and iOS which he publicly discusses on his blog

Aaksha MeghawatFounder
Founder, Kashikoi. Aaksha led the Simulation & Evaluation stack at Moveworks(ServiceNow) shipping 250+ customized enterprise ready agents to Fortune 500 and federal agencies. Aaksha has done award winning NSF sponsored research in Transformers at CMU (long before OpenAI made them cool). She shipped edge speech recognition models on 1bn+ iPhones (for the most esoteric dialects you can think of) at Apple. The innovation behind this was nominated for a Best Paper at Interspeech 2021.
