What it does
Opik helps teams building AI apps understand how those apps behave. It records each step an AI app or agent takes, including every call to an AI model and every tool it uses, so problems can be traced.
It can test apps automatically against sets of examples, including using another AI to judge answers for things like made-up facts. It also offers dashboards for watching apps once they're live, a place to try prompts, and tools to improve prompts.
It's made by Comet. Its makers say the full platform is free to host yourself.
Who it's for
