Voker (YC S24) is an analytics platform that does for AI agents what Mixpanel did for web products — transforms raw agent conversations into structured, queryable insights without requiring a data engineering team. It auto-classifies user intents, detects when agents fail to resolve requests, surfaces knowledge gaps, and tracks performance regressions when you update your prompts. The platform integrates with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, CrewAI, and Vercel AI SDK via lightweight Python and TypeScript SDKs. Non-technical team members — PMs, analysts, support leads — can query conversation timelines, track satisfaction trends, and measure business impact without needing SQL or engineering support. The free tier covers 2,000 events/month, which is generous for small projects. Paid plans start at $80/month for 20K events. The core pain point is real: most teams today do spot-checks by hand to debug agent behavior at scale, which doesn't scale past a few hundred conversations. Voker automates that loop.

Waydev has relaunched as the measurement layer for AI-written code, letting engineering teams track which AI agent wrote which code, tokens consumed per PR, cost-per-shipped-line, and acceptance rates — with a unified comparison dashboard across GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools. Founded in 2017 and backed by Y Combinator (W21), Waydev spent nine years building engineering analytics infrastructure. The pivot to AI SDLC measurement uses that existing integration surface (GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear) to add agent attribution metadata on top of existing flow metrics. The result is the first tool that can answer 'our team spent $4,200 on AI coding tools last month — which $1,000 was actually worth it?' With enterprise engineering budgets now routinely including five-figure monthly AI tooling costs and no standardized way to measure output quality by tool, Waydev's timing is sharp. The YC pedigree and existing customer relationships mean this isn't starting from zero — they're adding a new measurement layer to existing installed base.
Reviewer scorecard
“The pain point is totally real — debugging agent behavior in production today is a nightmare of manually reading transcripts. Intent detection + resolution tracking as first-class primitives is exactly what's missing from the current toolchain. The SDK integration is clean.”
“The 'which AI tool actually shipped good code' question is one every eng manager is asking. Waydev's existing Git integration means the attribution layer isn't a cold-start problem — if you're already using it for velocity metrics, the AI measurement upgrade is an obvious yes.”
“The 2,000 event free tier sounds decent until you realize a mid-size chatbot burns through that in a day. And at $400/month for 2M events, you're paying a premium for what's essentially LLM-powered log analysis. Full-featured observability tools like LangSmith and Langfuse are closing this gap fast.”
“Measuring AI contribution by tokens or accepted suggestions is a proxy for value, not value itself. Code quality, bug rates, and time-to-review are better signals, and those are already available in existing tools. Enterprise pricing with no numbers on the website signals this is expensive; wait for a published case study with real ROI data.”
“Agent analytics is going to be a massive category — every company deploying autonomous AI will need to instrument it like software. Voker is positioning early in a space that'll see consolidation. The 'resolution rate' metric alone could become the north-star KPI of the agent era.”
“As AI coding tools proliferate, the meta-layer question becomes 'which tool compound returns the best for which task type and team composition?' Waydev is building the dataset that will eventually answer that — and the company that owns that benchmark data owns significant influence over enterprise AI tool purchasing decisions.”
“The self-service angle for non-technical teammates is underrated. Content and community teams using AI agents to handle engagement finally get visibility into whether those agents are actually helping users — without filing a Jira ticket to find out.”
“For creative technologists who switch tools constantly by feel, a measurement dashboard adds overhead that slows down experimentation. The ROI framing is enterprise-first; indie builders will be better served by just trying tools and shipping.”
