404-not-found is an AI tool designed to test documentation sites by simulating real AI agents that interact with the documentation.
Why it matters
overview
404-not-found is an AI agents tool that enables site owners and developers of API documentation to test documentation sites by simulating real AI agents that interact with the documentation. It identifies documentation failures by showcasing where agents encounter issues when making API calls based on the provided documentation, offering a prompt for fixing these issues.
features
404-not-found provides specific functionalities to assess the efficacy of documentation for AI agent interaction. Its core features focus on simulation, failure identification, and remediation guidance.
use cases
404-not-found is primarily intended for site owners and developers responsible for API documentation, particularly those aiming to ensure their documentation is clear and usable for AI agents.
how to use
To use 404-not-found, users initiate a 'Gauntlet Run' which deploys simulated AI agents to interact with specified documentation. The tool then reports on agent failures and provides insights for remediation.
pricing
404-not-found operates on a per-job business model, with a single pricing tier for its core service. The cost is fixed per 'Gauntlet Run', allowing users to pay only for the testing they require.
Similar Tools
404-not-found differentiates itself from traditional API testing and documentation linting tools by focusing on AI agent simulation rather than manual test case definition or specification validation.
An open-source, cross-platform API client that allows you to design, debug, and test APIs by manually creating and organizing requests.
While Insomnia allows you to manually create and automate API tests based on documentation, it doesn't simulate an AI agent interpreting the documentation to generate those tests; you define the test cases yourself.
A command-line tool that validates API implementations against their formal OpenAPI (Swagger) or API Blueprint specifications, ensuring contract adherence.
Dredd focuses on contract testing, verifying that your API's responses match its documented specification. It doesn't simulate an AI agent's interaction with human-readable documentation or its ability to make API calls based on that interpretation, but rather checks the API against a formal specification.
A flexible OpenAPI and JSON Schema linter that helps enforce style guides and best practices for API documentation specifications.
Spectral helps ensure the quality and consistency of your API specifications (which serve as documentation) by linting them. It doesn't perform live API calls or simulate an AI agent's interaction with the documentation to find usability issues, but rather validates the documentation's structure and content.
A comprehensive platform for API development, testing, and collaboration, allowing users to create, send, and automate API requests and build test suites.
Postman provides robust tools for creating and automating API tests based on your documentation. However, it requires you to manually define the test cases and doesn't offer the AI agent simulation aspect of 404-not-found, where an agent autonomously attempts to use the documentation.
