About Gauge

Agents are leading the next wave of growth for companies like Supabase, Openrouter, Resend, PostHog, Braintrust, and more. Unlike chat experiences, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor are now implementing products autonomously. They are doing so without ever talking to a sales rep or taking a demo. Gauge runs real chats and coding sessions to help your product get recommended and implemented by AI.
