Find and fix problems in your AI agents before users do
See every message, tool call and decision in a run, with inputs, outputs and durations, so you can pinpoint where a run broke down.
Recurring failures are grouped into issues with severity, affected users, last-seen time and a confidence score, instead of scattered alerts.
An agent investigates issues and automates follow-up across Slack, the web app and MCP, so debugging happens where your team already works.
Run scenarios against a change on a pull request and compare results with real traffic to catch regressions before merge.
A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
