An Observability Platform Built for AI Agents
hyperbolaParabola · reddit · 2026-07-16
While building AI agents, the author's team realized that traditional observability tools could only monitor API health. They couldn't explain why an agent called a tool, why it failed or retried, or why its behavior changed after a prompt tweak.
To fix this, they built Cartha, an observability platform designed specifically for AI agents. Core features include:
- Real-time trace streams
- Execution timeline / waterfall views
- Prompt version history and replay
- Retry grouping
- PII redaction
- Trace and payload search
- Latency, tool call, error, and cost analytics
The core problem they aim to solve is: "Why did my agent do this?" The project is still in its early stages, and the author is actively seeking feedback from AI agent developers on missing features.
