Private alpha · design partners
We are looking for five teams
RUQA is in private alpha, used internally at Curea Inc. while we build it. Before we ship publicly we want five design-partner teams to use it on their real work for 90 days, free, with direct founder access. The bar is high so the product gets shaped right.
Where we are right now
Honest status, no spin
- Built and used by
- Curea Inc. internal team only (1 workspace)
- Public launch target
- Q3 2026, contingent on design-partner feedback
- Backend status
- Synthesis pipeline mocked; live Anthropic / GitHub / Slack integration in progress
- SOC 2 Type II
- In scoping. Type I expected Q2 2027
- Pricing
- Free for design partners. Public pricing on the pricing page is what we plan to charge after launch
Fit criteria
Are we right for each other
- 5–25 engineers (or designers / researchers / ops) where AI is in the daily critical path, not a side tool
- Willing to commit ~30 minutes per week to product feedback for 90 days
- Comfortable with a product that ships changes weekly and sometimes breaks
- Workspace owner authorized to attach GitHub, Slack, and an Anthropic key
- Open to publishing a short, honest write-up of the experience after 90 days (positive or negative — both are useful)
What you get
What design partners receive
- Free access to all paid-tier features for 90 days, including Sandbox and capability scoring
- A weekly 30-minute call with the founder, ad-hoc Slack with the engineering team
- Direct influence on the metaskill rubric and evaluation thresholds before they are locked
- Free access for the rest of year 1 after the 90-day program ends, regardless of whether the public launch happens on schedule
- Listed as launch partner if you choose to be — opt-in only, never automatic
What we ask
What we ask in return
- 01Use RUQA on actual work, not on a side project
- 02Tell us when something is broken, especially when it is uncomfortable to say
- 03Hold the 30-minute weekly call even when you do not feel like it (this is when most of the product gets shaped)
- 04Let us see how synthesis and capability scoring perform on your real signals — anonymized to whatever level you require
