What is Momentic?
Momentic is an AI testing platform that writes, runs and self-heals end-to-end web and mobile tests from plain-English steps for engineering teams. It is made by Momentic, a Y Combinator-backed startup. Instead of brittle CSS selectors, tests describe elements and actions in natural language, and AI finds the right element at run time.
The main benefit is lower maintenance. When the UI changes, Momentic's natural-language locators and auto-healing keep tests passing where selector-based tests would break, and flaky tests can be quarantined automatically. Assertions can check text, visuals and the DOM. Tests run in CI with GitHub and GitLab, and paid plans add real Android and iOS devices and phone numbers for SMS flows. Teams use it for regression testing, checkout and sign-up flows, and replacing hand-written Playwright or Cypress suites.
