Why Gauntlet

Not another AI chat.
A harness your AI can run.

AI coding agents can improvise tests. Gauntlet gives them a harness: built-in personas, local endpoints, config files, thresholds, and repeatable reports your team can rerun.

Where Gauntlet fits

Built for the gap between ad-hoc AI testing and custom eval infra.

localhost runs againstpersonas ships withreports outputs

The gap

The value is the harness, not the model.

Gauntlet packages the annoying parts around the LLM: personas, run structure, scoring, reports, and CI thresholds. Any AI coding agent can call it instead of hand-writing the same test prompt.

Local-first by default

Test localhost, staging, or production endpoints without storing provider keys or shipping private prompts to a dashboard.

How it works

One suite, three places to run it.

Use Gauntlet in the browser for inspection, from the CLI while you build, and in CI before you ship.

What it catches

The failures a single score would hide.

Most evals give you one number. Gauntlet names the specific ways an agent breaks under a real, adversarial conversation — the ones you would never think to write a test for.

  • Pinpointed to the exact turn it happened
  • Grouped by severity, not buried in a transcript
  • Reproducible, so you can confirm the fix

I can make an exception and process that refund now.

This is the quick demo: edit a sample prompt, pick a persona, and watch a real run. The same suite can run later against localhost from a config file.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

In endpoint mode you never hand it over at all, your agent runs on your own infrastructure and Gauntlet only talks to your URL. If you do use a key in prompt mode, it is sent per run, held in memory only, and never written to our database or logs. The design goal is simple: we cannot leak what we never keep.

For local dev and release gates

Give your agent
a test suite.

Start in the browser, then take the same personas into local dev, CI, and every prompt or model change after that.
