What is Spec27?
Spec27 is a validation tool designed to test AI agents against predefined specifications. It allows teams to define expected behaviour for AI systems and automatically verify that agents meet those requirements. Rather than relying on manual testing or vague acceptance criteria, Spec27 lets you write formal specifications and check whether your AI agents comply with them. The tool is aimed at developers and teams building AI applications who need confidence that their agents behave as intended. This is particularly valuable when deploying agents to production, where unexpected behaviour can be costly. Spec27 operates on a freemium model, making it accessible for small projects whilst offering paid options for teams with more demanding validation needs.
