Super excited for my friend @joship__ and team on the launch of @RangerNetHQ. If you want to save engineering time on QA, check it out ⬇️
Some news! Today, I am launching @RangerNetHQ – the first and only AI product that writes, runs, and maintains QA tests that find real bugs. Ranger’s mission is to power testing for the world’s most ambitious engineering, product, and design teams so they can get back to building. Our tech is already used by companies like OpenAI and we’re excited to share more about what we’ve been building.
