We're launching AI Observability this Thursday. Here's what it is and how you can help.

Hey everyone,

Quick heads up: OpenObserve AI Observability goes live on Product Hunt this Thursday, September 10, at 12:01 AM PT.

What we're launching:

If you've built anything with LLMs or agents, you know the debugging story is rough. Your APM tool sees the HTTP calls. Your LLM tracing tool sees the prompts. Nothing sees both, and nobody can tell you why the agent gave a bad answer or which hop in a five-agent workflow burned the latency.

We're fixing that by putting AI observability inside the same platform that already handles your logs, metrics, and traces:

  • Monitor: Sessions, Agent Graph, Agent Behavior, and Insights. Every run, every tool call, every hop, with latency and cost attached.

  • Evaluate: Scorers and Eval Jobs that run against production traffic, so you catch quality drift, not just error spikes.

  • Annotate: Review queues and datasets built from real traces, so humans can grade what the scorers flag.

Same Rust engine. Same OpenTelemetry pipeline. Self-host it or use OpenObserve Cloud. And because it all lives in one place, you can trace an agent's bad output straight back to the slow database call underneath it.

How you can help on Thursday

We're aiming for a top-3 finish, and that comes down to real engagement in the first few hours. Three things make a difference:

  1. Hit "Notify me" on the teaser page now so you get pinged when we go live:

  2. Leave a comment on launch day. A question, a use case, what you'd want to see next. Honest feedback beats "congrats," and we'll reply to every single one.

  3. Share it with anyone on your team who's shipping LLM features and still debugging by reading raw prompts in logs.

We'll post the live link here the moment the page is up.

Thanks for being part of this. A launch is only as good as the people who show up for it, and this community has shown up every time.

See you Thursday.

Thats very cool, AI Observability is a great product. i am really excited about the lauch, my support is with you guys.

having all the LLM traces and core system logs in one place is a game changer. Being able to trace an agent's failure straight back to a database bottleneck without having to switch between two different tools really takes a load off. Best of luck with the launch!

The eval loop with human review queues integrated is cool! Many teams find it tough to connect production logs with real quality scoring. I'm really looking forward to trying this out on Thursday!

I really appreciate that you’re sticking with the same Rust engine and OpenTelemetry pipeline instead of just throwing together a separate sidecar. It’s a huge relief not to have to juggle another isolated platform just for agent metrics. it really makes a difference!

Can't wait for the launch. Agentic observability is another layer in a bigger observability stack and should not require another tool or separate instrumentation. That's what led us to the tool sprawl that we are seeing these days.
