About WAO

WAO is an AI performance intelligence platform designed to evaluate and compare AI providers, models, and multimodal workflows before scaling. It measures representative workloads across quality, cost, latency, reliability, safety, and readiness using evidence from actual usage. The platform supports structured evaluation workflows that include measuring tasks, comparing trade-offs, identifying evidence gaps, validating releases, addressing gaps, and monitoring changes over time. WAO maintains a public-safe capability catalog that only lists provider capabilities with current acceptance evidence, ensuring transparency about what is truly available. It provides guided starting points for common decisions such as comparing providers, validating releases, or evaluating specific AI use cases like RAG, document processing, or agent evaluation. Evidence is kept connected to workloads, outputs, and decisions to avoid presenting scores without context.

Key features
