LangSmith is a platform to help developers close the gap between prototype and production. It’s designed for building and iterating on products that can harness the power–and wrangle the complexity–of LLMs.

Review LangSmith?
Reviewers say LangSmith is especially useful for debugging, evaluation, and iterating on LLM apps as they move toward production. Users praise its clear visibility into call chains, practical Python SDK, and support for automated evals in CI/CD to catch regressions and reduce trial and error. The main drawback mentioned is the UI: it can get cumbersome with larger datasets or long experiment histories, and sharing filtered results is awkward. Makers of Watchman AI also credit its analytics, versioning, and flexibility outside LangChain for reliable agent testing.

We started building Ting without LangSmith and we were flying blind. Diagnosing issues downstream felt like guesswork. Since bringing LangSmith in, we’ve been able to trace problems through the entire prompt path and actually understand what’s going on. We’re still evolving how we use it, but even early on it’s helped us move faster and get closer to that “this feels good” moment.
We absolutely could not build this product with LangSmith for traces, datasets, annotation queues, and evals. We've become big power users! I use to build AI apps before nice tracing tools like this existed and it's like night and day having a tool like this. We considered Langfuse, but I already had experience with LangSmith so for speed purposes we went with LangSmith.
Promptius <3 Langchain + Langgraph + Langsmith, this combination has been instrumental in building Promptius in the past 5 months! The abstractions provided by Langchain and Langgraph make building agents as easy as writing a prose. Langsmith provides unmatched observability and also help track our costs.
I've been using LangSmith for a couple of months at our startup and it's been incredibly useful for running ongoing LLM evaluations and for evaluating new features. The Python SDK is handy and we've automated LangSmith evals as part of CI/CD on GitHub to spot regressions.
My main struggle with LangSmith has been that the UI can be tricky to work with for larger datasets or datasets with a large experiment history. I would also love for the filters to be persisted in the URL. That way I can send a filtered set of failing examples to someone without having to provide instructions for how to reconstruct it.

What needs improvement

I've loved using LangSmith! It's efficient and user-friendly, making it a joy to work with. The platform's comprehensive visibility into the chain sequence of calls simplifies debugging and enhances the development process.
LangSmith has made it so much easier to take my LLM projects from idea to production. The debugging and iteration tools save me tons of trial and error.
