Testing broke when the internet got smarter
Anti-bot systems, phone verification, CAPTCHA walls — the modern web was built to keep automation out. We're building the way back in.
The gap nobody's talking about
A few years ago, testing a signup flow was straightforward. Point Selenium at a form, fill in some fields, click submit. Done.
Then the internet evolved. Apps started requiring phone verification. Social login became the default. CAPTCHAs got harder. Anti-bot fingerprinting got scary good. And suddenly, your automated tests couldn't get past the front door of your own product.
Most teams worked around this with duct tape — a shared spreadsheet of burner phones, a pile of disposable email accounts, someone's personal Gmail for OAuth testing. It works until it doesn't. And it never scales.
We looked at this and thought: if the internet now requires real identities to participate, then your testers need real identities too.
So we built Zantiq
Zantiq gives AI testers actual online identities. Not mocked. Not simulated. Real carrier phone numbers that receive SMS. Real email inboxes that get verification links. Real social profiles that pass OAuth checks.
When a Zantiq tester signs up for your app, the experience is identical to a real user. Because from the internet's perspective, they are one.
I've been in QA trenches for years. I got tired of the workarounds. This is the tool I wished existed.

Zantiq is growing. If you've ever rage-quit a test suite because phone verification broke everything, we should talk.
