Checksum.ai is an AI software-testing company that automatically writes and maintains end-to-end tests for web applications. Its AI agents learn from real user sessions to generate production-ready Playwright and Cypress tests, then auto-heal them when the app changes - so engineering teams get broad test coverage in days instead of months and stop babysitting flaky test suites. Founded in 2022 and built inside the super{set} startup studio, the San Francisco company serves developers and QA teams who want to ship fast without breaking things.
Gal Vered is the co-founder and CEO of Checksum.ai, a San Francisco startup that uses AI to automatically generate, run, and self-heal end-to-end software tests in Playwright and Cypress. A former Google product manager, Y Combinator-backed CTO, Kellogg MBA, and Israeli Navy officer, Vered is betting that as AI writes more of the world's code, the scarce and valuable skill becomes verification - proving the software actually works. Checksum sells testing as a result rather than a tool, generating 100-150 tests in a customer's first week and keeping them green as the product changes.
Chromatic is a cloud platform for frontend UI testing and review, built by the team behind the open-source tool Storybook. It runs visual, interaction, and accessibility tests across real browsers to catch UI regressions before they ship, then layers on a team review workflow so designers, PMs, and engineers can sign off on changes. Used by teams at GitHub, Adobe, the BBC, Square, and Monday.com, Chromatic turns the messy, manual job of UI QA into an automated step in the CI pipeline.
