Why this exists

I spent years building developer tools for humans. Runme started as a simple idea — interactive runbooks that actually work — and grew into a CNCF Sandbox project used across hundreds of organizations. The goal was always the same: make complex technical workflows feel natural.

Agents are the next UX frontier. But here's the problem: everyone's building the models, the frameworks, the infra. No one's testing the experience. We optimized browser UX for decades — automated testing, observability, performance monitoring. For agents? We're flying blind.

We're building visr because agent UX needs the same rigor we've applied to browser-based webapps. If agents are going to handle real workflows, we need to know when they break, where they confuse users, and how to make them better.

What we're building

We're making it dead-easy to benchmark your agent harnesses (Claude, Cursor, Copilot), drive improvements in your workflows (SKILL.md, MCP, CLAUDE.md) and context files, and continuously roll out the correct versions to your teams so your AI subscriptions actually work.
