Canary

Canary is an AI QA engineer that reads your source code to understand developer intent. Push a pull request and Canary reads the diff, understands the intent, and runs feature and regression tests against your preview app across real browsers, catching broken auth flows, slow page loads, and failing checkouts before they reach production. Built by ex-Google, Windsurf, and Cognition engineers, Canary is a Y Combinator Winter 2026 company positioned as the validation layer for AI-generated code.
