QA Agents in a Kernel-Locked Sandbox With an LLM Firewall

QA-as-a-service where specialist AI hunters probe your app from a sandbox whose only exit is an LLM firewall that judges every outbound request.

Mayhem Monkies is QA-as-a-service with teeth. You point it at a live URL, and a crew of specialist hunters goes after what your test suite misses. Every bug comes back caught, tagged, and handed over with a fix, not just a ticket. You can hunt a URL at mayhem.feedback.

A crew, not a single scanner

The product is built around a roster of specialists rather than one generic scanner. When you post a target, the right hunters get dispatched for the job, and each one has a lane. Recon handles endpoint enumeration. Auth goes after session and login flows. Smoke does brute-force click-everything runs against a build. Injection looks for the cracks other testers are meant to miss. Perf/DoS hunts performance and denial-of-service failure modes. Business Logic chases IDOR and the "you said this was fixed last sprint" class of bug. They work independently and hunt independently.

The pricing is straightforward: a free tier to get in line, then $49/mo for unlimited AI QA requests running in a shared queue, with a Priority Pass if you need results now instead of waiting your turn.

The sandbox is the real product

The engineering choice I care about most is containment. Twelve specialist AI hunters probe your app from a kernel-locked sandbox, and that sandbox has no route out except an LLM firewall that judges every request before it leaves. You are inviting autonomous agents to attack a live target, so the interesting risk is not whether they find bugs, it is whether they can be trusted to only touch what they were pointed at. Putting a judgment layer on the single egress path is how that stays true.

The findings themselves are built to be acted on immediately. Each one arrives with a repro, a runnable fix prompt, and honesty tags that say how confident the hunter actually is. Worth noting: the crew found its own bugs first, and those patches shipped before anyone else's did.
