Autonomous testing infrastructure
for interactive worlds
ManaMind is a London-based AI company building vision-driven agents that automate quality assurance in video games.
Why we started ManaMind
The Love
We grew up with games. Over time, they evolved into vast, complex worlds, but the way they were tested stayed the same.
The Problem
QA teams work long hours under tight deadlines. Problems still slip through, not from lack of skill, but because the scale of modern games has outpaced traditional testing.
The Spark
We started ManaMind because there had to be a better way, one where testing moves as fast as the games themselves.
The Purpose
Build systems that understand games the way players do. Let human testers focus on the creative, high-judgment work that machines can't replace.
These beliefs guide how we design and build ManaMind.
The ideas that shape how we think about testing, automation, and the future of games.
Automation should elevate human testers, not replace them
Great games are shaped by human judgment - intuition, taste, and empathy for players. We build autonomous systems to handle scale and repetition, so human teams can focus on the creative and high-impact parts of quality assurance.
Games require a different kind of testing
General intelligence over per-project tooling
