Product Benefits

Expedite Troubleshooting of Your OpenAI Applications

  • Gain full visibility into end-to-end traces for each user request, allowing you to quickly pinpoint the root causes of errors and failures in your LLM chain
  • Analyze inputs and outputs at each step of the LLM chain to quickly resolve issues such as failed LLM calls, task interruptions, and service interactions
  • Improve the accuracy and relevance of your LLM outputs by identifying and correcting errors in the embedding and retrieval steps, and optimize the performance of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems

Monitor the Performance, Cost, and Health of Your Agentic AI Workflows in Real Time

  • Keep costs under control by tracking key operational metrics like tokens, usage patterns, and latency trends across all major LLMs in one place
  • Take action instantly as issues arise with real-time alerts on anomalies such as latency spikes, error surges, or unexpected usage changes
  • Instantly uncover opportunities for performance and cost optimization by drilling into detailed end-to-end data on token usage and latency across the entire LLM chain

Continuously Evaluate and Enhance the Quality of Your AI Responses

  • Easily spot and address quality concerns, such as missing responses or off-topic content, with turnkey quality evaluations
  • Enhance business-critical KPIs, and detect hallucinations, by implementing custom evaluations that accurately assess and improve the performance of your LLM applications
  • Automatically detect drifts in production and optimize your LLMs by isolating and addressing low-quality prompt-response clusters with similar semantics

See Inside Every Step of Your AI Agents’ Workflows

  • Visualize every decision and action in your multi-agent workflows, from planning steps to tool usage, to understand exactly how outcomes are produced
  • Pinpoint issues fast by tracing interactions between agents, tools, and models to find the root cause of errors, latency spikes, or poor responses
  • Optimize agent behavior with detailed insights into performance metrics, memory usage, and decision-making paths
  • Correlate agentic monitoring with broader application performance by connecting LLM traces to microservice, API, and user experience data—all in one place

Proactively Safeguard Your Applications and Protect User Data

  • Protect user privacy by preventing the exposure of sensitive data, including PII, emails, IP addresses, and API keys, through built-in security measures
  • Defend against direct and indirect prompt injection attacks by scanning prompts, responses, and retrieved content for malicious patterns before they can be executed
  • Monitor MCP server interactions to detect unauthorized tool changes, credential exposure, and unusual activity patterns, and protect against threats such as tool poisoning, rug pulls, and consent fatigue exploitation
  • Secure your RAG pipelines by detecting and tracing malicious instructions seeded in vector databases and identifying the exact documents used in each model response

Debug Every Experiment Run with Trace-Level Visibility

  • Get full visibility into every experiment run with automatic tracing that captures evaluation scores, latency, errors, and token usage
  • Resolve regressions faster by isolating low-scoring test cases and inspecting tool calls, retrieval steps, and intermediate outputs in the execution trace
  • Keep testing repeatable across teams with versioned datasets, experiment runs, and shared performance analysis in one place
  • Compare experiment outcomes alongside production telemetry and evaluation signals from the same platform
