Plurai raises $13M seed to make AI agents more reliable via simulation

Plurai has raised $13 million in seed funding led by Team8 to make AI agents more reliable using simulation techniques borrowed from self-driving cars. The startup builds a digital twin of a company's systems, maps possible agent flows, and uses synthetic data to prepare models for edge cases, then post-trains small open-weight models tailored to each customer. Tests with Nvidia and Nebius showed its models outperforming midtier frontier models at lower cost.
