AI governance, testing, and observability for regulated enterprises
Dozens of pre-built evaluations cover quality, safety, security, and performance, with LLM-as-a-judge scorers, session-level metrics, and support for writing your own custom tests against your own data.
Import a repository and run evaluation suites automatically on every change, benchmark each iteration, and block releases when a metric regresses beyond the threshold you define.
Trace every request through multi-step agent workflows, including tool calls and retriever steps, with token counts, latency, cost per request, alerting integrations, and subpopulation analysis.
Register each AI system with an owner, purpose, data sensitivity, and risk tier, score inherent risk across multiple dimensions, and move systems through staged approval gates before they reach production.

Smart, focused email with AI help — for individuals and teams
Spark's Smart Inbox and Priority highlight messages from important people and bundle newsletters and notifications so the rest of your inbox stays quiet.
