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.

OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) is the standard for describing REST APIs. Swagger UI for documentation, codegen for clients/servers, and a massive ecosystem of tools.
Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“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.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“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.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
“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.”
