AMSTERDAM, NL - 24 APR: A new Amsterdam-based AI quality and analytics platform, LangWatch, has launched today to improve the quality of Generative AI tools. 

With companies around the world investing in new tools with the use of AI, businesses are at risk of the misuse and abuse of AI. 

After high-profile cases of swearing chatbots and users manipulating AI to purchase a car for $1, it is clear that there is an urgent need for more control to avoid the misuse of new AI tools and brand reputational damage. 

LangWatch.ai - Safety first

LangWatch, which is backed by Antler and Rabobank Innovation, analyses AI solutions, evaluates the quality of the software, prevents AI risks and helps businesses improve and ship their solutions. 

LangWatch has been developed because traditional testing tools aren’t equipped to navigate new complex LLMs and AI software. With real-time insights, LangWatch Analytics helps companies building GenAI solutions track user feedback, conversion, output quality, and knowledge base gaps. 

The result is that LangWatch can prevent off-topic conversations, sensitive data leakage as well as brand reputational damage for businesses. 

Highly qualified founding team

The founders of LangWatch, Rogerio Chaves and Manouk Draisma, met during an Antler residency in Amsterdam. They bring together more than 25 years of experience in the software industry, serving at companies like Booking.com & Lightspeed. 

Rogerio brings extensive expertise in engineering and product development to the LangWatch team while complementary Manouk brings a ton of experience in commercial roles, building teams at both startups and public companies.

Manouk Driasma, co-founder and CEO, comments, "A multitude of businesses find themselves in a preliminary phase, testing the waters with a limited user base. However, the leap to full-scale production is met with hesitation. The anticipation of navigating hallucinations, safety concerns, and potential PR damage when exposing their AI solutions to a broader audience holds them back from unleashing the true potential of generative AI. LangWatch solves those problems and will allow companies to use AI to improve their services."

Rogerio Chaves, co-founder and CTO, comments, “I saw this problem first hand when we launched an AI travel agent at Booking.com. It was very hard to understand how people were using the product, analyzing it was a very manual task and the GenAI agent had to be limited due to concerns of security and hallucinations, reducing its capabilities.”

RJ Schuurs, Partner at Antler, comments, “AI will have a transformative impact on business, society and the economy. However, this is still very new technology and there are major risks for new AI-powered tools in terms of quality and the potential for misuse. LangWatch is bringing order to the chaos of the frontline of AI and will give businesses peace of mind when launching new AI products. We are delighted to have supported LangWatch from day zero and have every confidence in the future success of the founding team.”

LangWatch is now available for companies that are building with the next-generation of Generative AI.
