Build a Real-World AI Agent Eval Harness
10/15The Opportunity
Benchmarks are unreliable — infra noise swings scores 6%. Builders need eval tools that test agents in real conditions.
Original Signal
“I just want to run a curl-like test suite against my API in CI without setting up Postman, Newman, and a whole collection management workflow. Why does this have to be so complicated.”
Score Breakdown
10/15How urgently people need this solved and how willing they are to pay for it. Based on complaint frequency and spending signals across platforms.
How open the market is. A high score means few or no direct competitors, or existing solutions are overpriced and underdeliver.
How quickly a solo developer can ship an MVP. 5 = weekend project with standard tools. 1 = months of infrastructure work.
Existing Solutions
Newman is the Postman CLI but requires maintaining Postman collections. K6 is performance-focused, not functional API testing. No dead-simple YAML-to-test CLI exists.
Willingness to Pay
Dev teams pay $10-14/mo per user for Postman; a lightweight REST API testing CLI at $9/mo flat or $29 one-time would convert anyone annoyed by Postman's overhead.
