our call

Start with AB Tasty — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

AB Tasty

  • Server-side feature flag evaluation
  • URL-based page split testing
  • Basic user traffic bucket allocation
  • Event tracking trigger scripts

  • No-code WYSIWYG visual page editor for marketing teams
  • Automated anti-flicker script optimization for client-side rendering
  • Bayesian and Frequentist statistical significance engine with SRM detection
  • Multi-armed bandit traffic auto-rebalancing
  • Audience segment building based on third-party CDP attributes

real moats

  • Visual editor DOM mutation engine robust against complex SPAs and dynamic storefront frameworks
  • High-throughput low-latency edge processing for variant assignments under strict SLA
  • Enterprise security certifications (SOC2 Type II, GDPR consent compliance integration)
