Vocera AI was launched in 2024 by Shashij Gupta, Tarush Agarwal, and Sidhant Kabra as a testing and monitoring platform for AI voice agents, backed by Y Combinator (F24 batch). The product has since been rebranded to Cekura (legal entity: Tatva Labs Inc.), with the new brand launching on Product Hunt in March 2026. The vocera.ai domain now redirects to cekura.ai. The platform enables conversational AI teams to automate quality assurance across the entire agent lifecycle, covering both pre-production simulation and production monitoring. It simulates thousands of conversational scenarios using a library of workflows and personas, replays real audio from past production calls for accurate regression testing, and auto-generates test scenarios from call recordings. Developers can input basic information about their voice agent and the platform automatically produces relevant evaluation metrics. Cekura also provides real-time observability: every production call is logged with detailed transcripts, trend analysis, and instant alerting for errors or performance regressions. The platform supports multiple speech model providers, allowing teams to benchmark or swap models without rewriting test suites. As of 2026, the company serves 75+ customers across healthcare, BFSI (banking/financial services/insurance), logistics, recruitment, and retail. Funding stands at approximately $2.4-2.9M in seed capital. Pricing follows a credit-based self-serve model starting at $30/month for developers, with enterprise tiers available for higher volume and compliance needs. Voice testing consumes credits at a per-minute rate. Key features: - Conversational scenario simulation using customizable workflows and personas - Production call replay: reuse real audio recordings for regression testing - Automated test scenario generation from call recordings - Auto-generated evaluation metrics from agent description - Real-time production monitoring with detailed call logs and trend analysis - Instant error and performance regression alerts - Multi-speech-model support for benchmarking and provider comparison - Coverage of both voice AI and chat AI agents (post-rebrand to Cekura)
