market profile

• text: Companies building agents need environments that represent their actual tasks for evaluation and post-training.
• text: Its current research-service description differs from older desktop automation descriptions; verify scope directly.

personas

• title: Head of post-training research
  pains:

  • Raw agent traces do not automatically provide repeatable training environments.
  • General benchmarks may miss product-specific failure modes.
• title: AI evaluation engineering lead
  pains:

  • Needs reproducible tasks and grading that reflect real user workflows.
  • Internal engineering time is split between product work and evaluation infrastructure.

icp

• text: AI labs or AI product companies with operational traces and a need for custom agent evaluation or post-training, inferred from the service description.
• text: Engineering-led organizations able to scope and share suitable trace data for an external research engagement; size is unreported.

message pillars

• text: Build AI systems that carry out extended computer and internet tasks.

objections

• objection: Will the environment reflect our actual workload?
  response: Pilot with representative traces and compare outcomes against held-out real cases.
• objection: How are proprietary traces protected?
  response: Agree access restrictions, retention, security and ownership before sharing data.
• objection: Is this the same product as the older desktop automation launch?
  response: Confirm the current service scope with the team because public descriptions differ.
