Plurai wants to help AI agents work better using the same approach that helped get self-driving cars to roads

Plurai, founded by former Nexar engineers Ilan Kadar and Elad Levi, has raised $13 million in seed funding led by Team8 to build a simulation layer for AI agents, using synthetic data based on a company's own systems to prepare models for edge cases. The platform creates a digital twin of a company's knowledge base and tools, maps possible agent flows, and uses that to evaluate and fix failure modes, working alongside tools like Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and Cursor. Kadar says the company's real promise is post-training small open-weight models tailored to customers, with tests alongside Nvidia and Nebius showing performance above mid-tier frontier models at lower cost.
