Aemon is an AI R&D engineer for teams that know how to measure success but do not know which approach will reach it. The product’s useful wedge is a locked evaluation: give Aemon a problem, a codebase or research context, and a metric, then let it generate and test many candidate approaches while experts steer the search.

## What it does

The [current Aemon site](https://aemon.ai/) describes a four-step engagement: define the goal and failure cases, harden the evaluation, connect Aemon to the codebase and research context, then run continuous research loops that return validated improvements. The [YC launch](https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PXs-aemon-the-ai-r-d-engineer) says Aemon synthesizes state-of-the-art papers, evolves thousands of approaches against an eval and lets experts constrain the search.

The strongest public demonstration is the circle-packing result. Aemon says it beat Google DeepMind’s 2025 AlphaEvolve result with less than $10 of compute and links to Google’s public verifier.
