Glassbrain
Time-travel debugging for AI apps — replay any trace, fix in one click

Glassbrain captures the full execution trace of your AI application—every LLM call, retrieval step, tool invocation, and branching decision—and renders it as an interactive visual tree. When something goes wrong, you click the failing node, change the input, and replay from that exact point without redeploying. It's like a time-travel debugger built specifically for non-deterministic AI stacks. What sets it apart from generic observability tools like LangSmith or Langfuse is the one-click fix workflow: Glassbrain doesn't just show you what failed, it surfaces Claude-powered fix proposals that you can copy directly into your code. The diff view shows you before/after so you can verify the suggestion actually improved output quality before shipping. Setup takes two lines of code and works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and LlamaIndex out of the box. The free tier covers 1,000 traces/month—enough for a solo developer in early testing. Pro at $39/month jumps to 50,000 traces with unlimited AI suggestions. This launched on Product Hunt today (April 6, 2026) and currently sits at #13 on the daily leaderboard.

Kelet
AI agent that diagnoses why your LLM app failed in production

Kelet is a production monitoring platform that automatically diagnoses and fixes failures in LLM applications and AI agents. Rather than requiring engineers to manually sift through thousands of traces, Kelet reads production agent traces, clusters failure patterns across sessions, and surfaces root causes with supporting evidence. The platform's standout feature is credit assignment for multi-agent architectures — when a LangChain, CrewAI, or PydanticAI pipeline fails, Kelet pinpoints exactly which agent in the chain caused the failure rather than returning a vague error message. It then generates targeted prompt patches with measurable before/after reliability improvements, so fixes ship with proof they work. Setup takes approximately five minutes via the Kelet SDK or installer skill, with full OpenTelemetry compliance for teams already running observability infrastructure. Kelet covers the LLM token costs for its own analysis, and a free tier requires no credit card — making it accessible to indie builders before they've committed to paid tooling.
Reviewer scorecard
“Two lines of setup and you can time-travel through your agent's reasoning. The AI-generated fix proposals powered by Claude are the killer feature—not just telling you what broke but showing you how to fix it with a diff. This would have saved me days on my last LangChain project.”
“Kelet solves the specific hell of debugging AI agents in production: thousands of traces, failure patterns scattered across sessions, and no clear signal about which prompt, which agent, or which data caused the issue. The credit assignment for multi-agent chains is the killer feature — knowing exactly which subagent in a CrewAI or LangGraph chain broke is worth the integration cost alone. Five-minute setup via SDK and OpenTelemetry compliance means it plugs into what you're already running.”
“LangSmith, Langfuse, Arize, Traceloop—the AI observability space is already crowded with well-funded players who have months head start. The visual tree is pretty but 'click to replay' only works for deterministic subsets of your trace. LLM calls have temperature; you can't truly replay them, you can only approximate. The value prop needs more precision.”
“Kelet is an LLM analyzing LLM failures, which is a charming recursion problem. When your agent monitoring agent hallucinates a root cause, you've added a failure mode that's harder to debug than the original. The 'evidence-backed fixes with before/after reliability measurements' pitch sounds airtight, but those measurements depend on the LLM evaluation being correct — which is exactly what you can't assume in production. A solid structured logging + tracing setup with deterministic replay would catch most of these failures without adding another probabilistic layer.”
“The long game here is automated regression testing for AI systems. Once you have traces from every user session, you can build golden datasets, run evals, and detect quality regressions before they ship—automatically. Glassbrain is building the TDD framework for the agentic era.”
“Observability tooling for AI agents is a category that barely exists and desperately needs to. As agent deployments move from side projects to production infrastructure, teams need the same root cause analysis discipline that SRE culture built for traditional services. Kelet is early in a space that will be massive — expect DataDog, Grafana, and every APM vendor to build versions of this within 18 months.”
“This is firmly a developer tool—you need to be writing Python or JS and integrating SDKs to use it. There's no no-code path here. If you're using n8n or Make for your AI workflows, Glassbrain won't help you. Worth bookmarking for when it adds visual builder support.”
“For indie builders shipping AI products to paying customers, Kelet is exactly the kind of tooling that turns 'my agent sometimes fails and I don't know why' into a real support workflow. The free tier with no credit card means you can actually test whether it's useful before committing.”
