# Pie - Autonomous QA Platform

> Pie is an autonomous QA platform. AI agents explore your web and native mobile apps the way real users do, write and maintain the end-to-end tests, and report the issues a user would actually hit. No scripts to write, no locators to break. Write with AI. Ship with Pie.

## About Pie

Pie replaces scripted test automation with AI agents that explore applications like real users. Instead of writing and maintaining brittle Selenium or Playwright scripts, teams connect their app and Pie discovers features, generates tests, and keeps them working when the UI changes.

**Key differentiators:**
- Pie writes and maintains the tests: no scripts to write, no locators to break
- Vision-based execution: agents act on what is on screen, not on CSS selectors or XPaths
- Self-healing tests that survive redesigns
- Autonomous discovery: Pie explores the app and generates tests before anyone writes a test plan
- One platform for web, iOS and Android, with the same test logic and one configuration
- Runs in your IDE via MCP, and in your GitHub/GitLab workflow via Pie Loop
- Results in hours, not weeks

## How Pie Works

1. **Discover:** Pie explores the application and generates test cases for the flows it finds. Teams add their own in plain English.
2. **Run:** AI agents execute the tests against the web app, or against iOS and Android builds, deciding each step from the rendered screen.
3. **Report:** Findings are clustered into issues with a root cause, so one broken button is one issue, not fifteen duplicate tickets. Flaky and test-data noise is filtered automatically. A Readiness Score (starts at 100%, banded stable/caution/blocker) summarizes release health.
4. **Fix:** Pie can investigate an issue and prepare a fix PR for review, depending on configuration and approval.
5. **Adapt:** When the UI changes, tests adapt instead of breaking.

## Who Pie Is For

- Engineering teams shipping web or native mobile apps weekly or faster, where regression testing is a manual bottleneck
- Mobile-first teams where QA gates release cadence
- Teams using AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot) whose code volume is outpacing test coverage
- Teams that want end-to-end coverage without growing QA headcount or writing test scripts
- Apps with complex multi-step or multi-persona flows (buyer and seller, admin and user)
