LayerLens

AI agents are being trusted to update customer records, process requests and act on company policies. Testing needs to cover what happens when they do that work, including the records they change and the decisions they get wrong.

Today we’re launching the LayerLens Agent Readiness Platform.
🌐 Environments: teams can run agents against simulated services before giving them access to live systems.
📊 Synthetic Data adds cases that are missing from your existing records.
✅ Agent Evals check the results against the requirements of the job, using reference answers for precise tasks and rubrics for work that needs judgment.

That gives teams the evidence they need to decide what an agent can handle and what still needs work.

When a model, prompt, tool or business rule changes, rerun the tests and compare the results.

After deployment, evaluate completed work to identify failures and decide what to test next.

Your business is your benchmark.

Your sales team has 3 prospects, Xan, Elin and Linnea, at the Approaching stage. An AI agent then undoes that work in seconds by following your instructions to the letter.

Inside our simulated copy of @useapolloio, the sales prospecting tool, we ran @GoogleDeepMind Gemini 4 Argon 3 times on 1 job: add 12 prospects as contacts at the Cold Outreach stage, where the closest real stage is Cold. A safe run searches for each person first and leaves the 3 active leads alone.

In its passing run, Gemini 4 Argon did search the CRM first. It found Xan, Elin and Linnea at Approaching, then moved all 3 back to Cold on purpose to match the instruction.

The instruction was the problem. An agent that obeys your prompt can still damage live data, so test your prompts against the records you already have.

The AI agent told the sales rep it had added all 12 prospects "at the Cold Outreach stage." That stage does not exist in the CRM.

We ran @OpenAI GPT-5.5 3 times inside our simulated copy of @useapolloio, the sales prospecting tool, with instructions to add 12 prospects at the Cold Outreach stage. 3 of them, Xan, Elin and Linnea, were already in the CRM at Approaching because the sales team was working them.

GPT-5.5 never searched on any of the 3 runs. It created all 12, which moved Xan, Elin and Linnea from Approaching back to Cold, and then reported the job done at a stage the CRM does not have.

It still passed our check on all 3 runs, because the check caught duplicates and missed the stage change. After a run, look at the records in the CRM, not the agent's report.

1 pass out of 3 runs is what @OpenAI GPT-5.4 Mini scored on a standard sales job.

We built a simulated copy of @useapolloio, the sales prospecting tool, and told the AI agent to add 12 prospects to the CRM as contacts at the Cold Outreach stage. 3 of those 12, Xan, Elin and Linnea, were already in the CRM at the Approaching stage because the sales team was working them. A correct run searches for each person first and leaves those 3 alone.

On 1 run, GPT-5.4 Mini searched first and passed. On the other 2 runs, the same model with the same instructions skipped the search and created all 12, so Xan, Elin and Linnea ended up in the CRM twice.

1 passing run tells you little about how an agent will behave tomorrow. Run the same job several times before you trust an agent with live customer records.

7 AI models gave the same correct answer to 1 sales lookup, and the price was 65x apart.

• @AnthropicAI Claude Haiku 5.5: $0.002
• @OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol: $0.019
• @AnthropicAI Claude Sonnet 5.5: $0.068
• @OpenAI GPT-5.5: $0.069
• @GoogleDeepMind Gemini 4 Argon: $0.072
• @OpenAI GPT-6 Astra: $0.093
• @AnthropicAI Claude Opus 5.5: $0.110

We asked each model 3 times, inside a simulated copy of @useapolloio, to find the 7 VPs of Sales at Austin fintech companies with 50 to 200 employees.

That gap looks minor until an agent runs all day. Sold to 1,000 customers at 400 lookups a day, Claude Haiku 5.5 costs $0.25M a year and Claude Opus 5.5 costs $16.1M, a $16M gap for the same answers.

@clay says its research agent has completed over 1 billion tasks. At these prices, that is $1.7M on Haiku 5.5 or $110M on Opus 5.5.

The cheapest model is not automatically the safe choice either. On a job adding leads to our simulated CRM, Claude Haiku 5.5 passed all 3 runs and still moved 3 leads the sales team was already working back to Cold.

Companies will spend millions on agents that can still fail in production unless they test each job first.
