Works in the demo.
Breaks in real life.
Real users are confused, persistent, and creative. Manual testing can't cover it. Ixea runs adversarial conversations automatically — and shows you every failure before production does.
Without Ixea
Manual testing, discovered too late
Exploit discovered after users abused it publicly.
With Ixea
Automated adversarial simulation
Injection blocked automatically in pre-production testing.
How Ixea works
From zero to comprehensive chatbot testing in minutes — no infrastructure required.
Define your chatbot
Paste a system prompt to test a prompt-based bot directly inside Ixea, or point Ixea at your deployed bot's API endpoint.
Built for robust
chatbot validation
Every tool you need to test, validate, and prove your AI agent handles the real world.
Two ways to test
Prompt-based bots defined in Ixea, or your own deployed bot via a configurable HTTP endpoint.
Multi-turn conversations
Test full back-and-forth conversations with deep contextual retention — not just single static messages.
Realistic user simulation
A simulated user that reacts to your bot and pushes toward a goal, testing how it handles real conversational pressure.
Optional AI judging
Turn on automatic verdicts scored against your custom criteria, or turn it off and read raw transcripts yourself.
Bring your own models
OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter — pick your models, use your own keys. Test cheap, judge on the best.
Your spend, your control
All LLM usage bills directly to your own provider account. Ixea runs transparently and never resells tokens.
We take key security
seriously.
Your API keys are the most sensitive thing you hand us. Here's exactly what we do — and don't do — with them.
Industry-standard encryption for all stored credentials.
Encrypted at rest
Your API keys are encrypted before they are stored. We never keep plaintext credentials on disk.
Shown once only
After you save a key, it is never displayed again — not in the UI, not in exports, nowhere.
Never in logs
API keys are scrubbed from all application logs and are never written to disk in plaintext form.
Direct account billing
All LLM calls use your key, billed to your account. Ixea never proxies, marks up, or resells tokens.
Delete anytime
Remove any stored key from your account at any time. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

Free to use.
You only pay your LLM provider.
Ixea itself is free. The only cost is tokens your test runs consume — billed directly by your LLM provider.
When you run a test, Ixea calls your LLM provider API directly using the key you supply. The token cost appears on your provider bill — not on any Ixea invoice, because there isn't one.
