KANE CLI: LET YOUR CODING AGENT TEST ITS OWN WORK

Your coding agent ships the feature. Then you click through it manually. Describe the check in natural language instead. Kane CLI runs it in real browsers or on iOS simulators and Android emulators and returns pass or fail with a video link (see how it works [5]). 3 ways devs use it: > AGENT LOOP: Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex call it to verify their own builds. > CI GATE: Non-zero exit codes fail the pipeline when a flow breaks. > PLAYWRIGHT EXPORT: Turn any run into test code you own.

YOUR AGENTS SOUND CONFIDENT. CUBE MAKES THEM CORRECT

As agents get more autonomous, they act on your numbers without waiting for a person. An LLM pointed at raw tables re-derives your metric logic on every prompt. Whatever it guesses becomes your source of truth. 🤦♂️ CUBE [5] is the agentic analytics and BI platform, built on a semantic layer. Your definitions and permissions are enforced deterministically — in dashboards, embedded apps, and Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP. 👀 Brex chose Cube over dbt Semantic Layer and LookML.
