What is Saffron?
Saffron is an AI-native technical assessment platform that helps companies evaluate how software engineering candidates actually build with AI tools. Backed by Y Combinator and Afore Capital, Saffron lets candidates work on real codebases inside a sandboxed browser IDE with full Claude Code access.
Every prompt, keystroke, and code edit is captured and scored automatically by multiple independent AI review agents. Hiring teams receive structured metrics including human-vs-AI code attribution, session replays, and AI reliance scoring — replacing weeks of interviews with a single async assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
5 questionsSaffron deploys 10 or more independent AI review agents that evaluate each candidate submission against your custom rubric. Each agent scores independently, preventing any single evaluator's bias from skewing results, and provides specific code-level evidence for every score.
Yes. Saffron classifies every line of code as human-written, AI-generated, or AI-modified. This line-by-line attribution lets hiring teams understand exactly how much original thinking a candidate contributed versus what was produced by AI tools.
Saffron connects directly to your GitHub repository so candidates build real features on your actual codebase. Alternatively, you can select from pre-built assessment templates. All work happens inside a fully isolated cloud sandbox.
Candidates receive a browser-based IDE with native Claude Code access, the same AI coding agent engineers use daily. Saffron captures every AI prompt, response, acceptance, and rejection throughout the session for full transparency.
Session replay records every keystroke, terminal command, file navigation, and AI interaction during an assessment. Hiring teams can replay the full coding session to observe how a candidate approaches problems, debugs issues, and makes architectural decisions.
