ManaMind is an AI company building autonomous agents that automate quality assurance for video games. Game QA is a labor-intensive bottleneck: studios employ teams of testers who manually play builds for hours to find bugs, crashes, and regressions, and the work scales poorly as games grow more complex. ManaMind's agents play games autonomously at scale, detecting bugs and producing structured reports, compressing testing cycles dramatically.
Founded in 2025 and based in London, ManaMind takes a distinctive technical approach: its agents test games using only video and audio inputs, the same signals a human player perceives, rather than requiring deep engine integration. The company coordinates three AI agents that work together to complete full regression cycles in roughly six hours instead of days, and reports catching 86% of critical bugs before a game ships. To support this, ManaMind is developing proprietary visual models tailored specifically to virtual environments.
The platform targets game studios that need faster, more reliable QA without scaling human testing teams linearly. ManaMind is working with early design partners including Included Games and Crazy Labs, validating its approach across real production titles. While gaming is the initial commercial focus, the company envisions adapting its autonomous-testing infrastructure to broader software systems over time, with potential applications in robotics and other complex digital environments.
ManaMind raised a $1.5 million pre-seed round led by Sure Valley Ventures, with support from EWOR, Ascension, Syndicate Room, and Heartfelt. The funding is being used to expand its engineering team, accelerate development of its proprietary AI models, and support international expansion. As studios face pressure to ship faster while maintaining quality, ManaMind is positioned within the growing category of AI-driven game testing and QA automation.
