Papercuts

Deploy AI agents to use your production app like a real user

Website papercuts.dev
Overview

What it is

Deploy AI agents that flow through your production app like a real user. Just provide a URL and get notified when something breaks.

Intent

I need it when

Detect bugs and edge cases in production web applications before users encounter them

Papercuts deploys autonomous AI agents that continuously test production environments 24/7, simulating real user behavior through deterministic and exploratory testing. When bugs occur, users receive detailed diagnostic reports with screenshots and execution logs, enabling rapid issue identification and resolution.

Integrate continuous quality assurance into existing development workflows and incident response

Papercuts integrates with GitHub Actions, Linear, Slack, and Datadog, enabling automated test runs and immediate notifications when production issues are detected. Teams receive comprehensive reports that can be directly linked to issue tracking systems.

Test protected routes and authenticated user flows in production safely

Papercuts handles authentication by accepting credentials through the platform, allowing agents to log in and test protected routes exactly as real users would. No SDK or code changes required, and testing occurs safely in production where user behavior matters most.

Automate critical user journey testing without writing or maintaining test code

Papercuts offers deterministic agents that execute predefined user flows described in simple English (e.g., 'Add a $20 bag to cart and checkout'). No SDK installation or code changes required—agents interact with the UI directly like real users, reducing test maintenance overhead.

Discover hidden edge cases and unexpected UI behaviors in complex full-stack applications

Papercuts' exploratory agents autonomously navigate applications, clicking, scrolling, and interacting with UI elements to uncover edge cases that deterministic tests might miss. This semantic UI understanding adapts to layout changes without breaking tests.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs traditional unit testing or integration testing frameworks integrated into their CI/CD pipeline rather than production environment testing
  • User requires testing of applications without internet access or in completely isolated environments, as Papercuts requires live URL access
  • User needs real-time code-level debugging and stack traces rather than UI-level screenshots and execution flow reports
  • User operates applications with strict security policies that prohibit external headless browser instances from accessing production environments
  • User requires testing of native mobile applications or desktop applications, as Papercuts is web-focused only
