In 2016, they were working together at [Doctolib](https://doctolib.fr/)and they had a problem. They wanted to be sure that they don't introduce any regression when editing components or CSS.

Argos started in 2016 as an internal tool at [Doctolib](https://www.doctolib.fr/), where Greg and [Olivier Tassinari](https://twitter.com/olivtassinari) (now CEO of [MUI](https://mui.com/)) were working together. They faced a common challenge: how to ensure that UI changes didn't silently introduce regressions.

After a benchmark of existing solutions, no one fits their needs. So they decided to create their own, Argos was born. It quickly spread beyond their team and became an essential tool at Doctolib. Taking a screenshot was much faster than writing a complex test!

After evaluating existing tools and finding none that fit their needs, they decided to build their own. The result was Argos visual testing solution that quickly became essential to Doctolib's development workflow. Screenshots proved faster and more reliable than complex end-to-end tests for detecting visual changes.

In 2022, Doctolib became the biggest French unicorn startup and MUI the most used React UI library in the world. Both companies uses Argos every day. More than 70M screenshots were compared every month! That's why Greg Bergé and his co-worker Jeremy Sfez decided to take things to the next level.

As Doctolib grew into France's largest unicorn and MUI became the most widely used React UI library in the world, Argos continued to play a key role behind the scenes, comparing over millions screenshots every month.

We fixed some issues, wrote a documentation, created integration to make Argos the best visual testing product on the market. Early 2023 Argos became available as a self-onboarding SaaS application on [GitHub Marketplace](https://github.com/marketplace/argos-ci). More than 30 teams use it every day.

In 2022, Greg teamed up with his long-time collaborator [Jeremy Sfez](https://twitter.com/jeremysfez)to bring Argos to the wider developer community. Together, they transformed Argos from an internal tool into a full-fledged SaaS product, focused on ease of use, speed, and powerful CI integrations.

Today Argos is a powerful visual testing tool but our vision is much bigger. We want to change the way of testing app, making it simple and provide tools to setup the entire stack. We believe that automated testing should be really automated and not semi-automated. We also believe that flaky UX means flaky tests and that avoiding flakies comes with building stable apps.
22
+
By early 2023, Argos launched on the [GitHub Marketplace](https://github.com/marketplace/argos-ci) with a self-service onboarding flow. Since then, it's been adopted by more than 80 product teams who use it daily to safeguard their UIs from unintended changes.
