Environments for AI agents
Where AI agents practice before they touch real systems.
Independent evaluation for AI agents that act in business systems. We run your agent in a working copy of the system and hand you an evidence pack: every failure, the rule it broke, the dollar impact and a replay. Labs train on the same environments. Live today: insurance claims.
How an AutoStack environment works
- Seeded state: A working copy of a claims system. Policies, claims, payees and reserves, rebuilt from a seed in about 6 ms.
- Tools over MCP: 15 tools your agent calls, backed by a real database. 6 read, 9 write. Not a mock that returns canned answers.
- Claims manual: Written rules with IDs the grader checks against. Coverage, reserves, payment authority, fraud referrals.
- The task: One task, run on three seeds. Including act-or-escalate twins and instructions hidden in customer documents.
- Agent actions: Every call the agent makes is logged. Including the ones the system rejected.
- Grader: We check the final state and every attempted action. Doing nothing fails. Shortcuts fail.
- Evidence you can rerun: Every failure: the rule, the dollar impact, a replay. Plus pass rates across repeated runs.

What we grade
Many agent tests grade the transcript. Our graders read what the agent changed: the final state of the system and every action it attempted, including the ones the system rejected. Nothing the agent does touches a real system.
reset(seed=2) → state built · 6 ms → policies, claims, payees, reserves
grade(episode) → final state ✓ → audit log ✓ → 1 rule broken
Two ways to use it
Test agents in it. Train agents on it.
Test · teams building agents
An AI agent test environment that mirrors your tools.
- In an engagement we mirror your agent's tools; if it can point at a different endpoint, it runs unchanged
- Find the expensive mistakes before your customer does
- A replayable evidence pack plus a regression suite you keep
- Compare models on pass rate and cost per successful task
Train · AI labs and RL teams
Verifiable rewards from state checks.
- Rewards computed from state checks
- Deterministic resets and seeded variation
- Graders checked against do-nothing and shortcut agents
- Private task sets built to your brief
- Environments built to your written brief
Engagement
- Feasibility week$5,000 USD
One workflow in 7 days, credited toward the evaluation. We agree how your agent connects on the first call.
- Evaluation$20,000 USD
More of your workflow, plus a report for a vendor-oversight file.

A private environment and graders built to your brief.
Insurance claims environment
Failure types our claims tasks test for.
Each one is a check the grader runs against the final state of the claim. How grading works
- 01
Paid before coverage was recorded or the reserve covered it
- 02
Payments, reserve and coverage limit are out of order
- 03
Reserve not supported by the claim's documents
- 04
Attempted an amount above the user's authority

Roadmap items are plans, not commitments. Features and timing may change.
Phase 1
Now: deepening claims
What we're building on the claims environment.
- 01
Harder claims tasks
Longer rulebooks to search, deadlines that count days differently by state, facts that change mid-claim, legal notices and multi-claim queues.
in development - 02
Private held-out task sets
Sealed tasks we run ourselves and never publish, so scores stay meaningful.
in development - 03
Independent adjuster review
We plan to have an independent claims adjuster review our claims manual and tasks.
in development - 04
Validity card for every task
Proof each task is fair: it can be solved, doing nothing fails, cheating fails, and the grader catches wrong answers.
in development - 05
Customizable test parameters
Set the state, dates, catastrophe events, your own rulebook and authority limits, as configuration.
in development - 06
Connectors
Connect your agent the way it already works: MCP, REST/OpenAPI, or document and email intake.
in development - 07
Run in your own tools
Export tasks to Harbor, Inspect and OpenEnv, including for RL training.
in development - 08
Runs on Microsoft's open-source ThinkingBox harness
Not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
in development - 09
Model-mix report
Find the cheapest combination of models that still gets the work right: the same tasks run with model mixes, compared on pass rate, cost per correct task and speed in one chart.
in developmentpremium - 10
AutoStack ClaimsBench
A public practice set with a Docker quickstart and methodology note, released with a design partner. Scored evaluations use private tasks.
in development
Phase 2
Next: after the first evaluations
Broader coverage and generation, checked by experts.
- 11
Environment generator
Describe a workflow; we generate a first draft of the environment, tasks and graders, and experts check it before anyone uses it.
in development - 12
More insurance lines
Commercial auto, property and workers' comp.
in development - 13
Multimodal claims tasks
Damage photos, scanned repair estimates and recorded first-notice calls.
in development - 14
Model re-scan alerts
When a major model or price change ships, we re-run your tests and tell you if a cheaper setup still passes.
in developmentpremium - 15
Trace viewer
Step through an agent's run and see exactly what it changed in the claim file.
in development
Phase 3
Later: when customers ask
Tools customers run themselves.
- 16
Self-serve platform
Build, customize and run environments yourself, with export to RL training tools.
in development - 17
More industries
Environments beyond insurance, built with design partners.

Questions we get.
What is AutoStack?
AutoStack builds environments for training and testing AI agents: working simulations of business systems with a real database, tools served over MCP, seeded resets, and graders that check what the agent actually changed. The first environment is an insurance claims system.
What is an RL environment for AI agents?
A simulated world where an AI agent takes actions and gets a score for doing the task correctly. Labs use the score as a reward when training. Teams use the same environment as a test before deployment.
Our model platform already has "environments" and "evals". How is this different?
Platform environments are containers where an agent's tools run, and they start empty. Platform evals grade an output against criteria you write yourself. AutoStack supplies what goes inside: a working business system with realistic data, tasks built from the industry's rules, and graders that already know the right answer and check what the agent actually changed.
What is an agent evaluation sandbox?
A simulated system where an AI agent can act without touching real data or money. We grade what the agent changed, so failures show up before deployment.
Which industries?
Insurance claims today, starting with personal auto. We build the next environment with a design partner, so tell us your workflow.
Who owns the results?
You own the deliverables you pay for; we keep our underlying tooling.
