AgentLens

Full observability for AI agents. Zero code changes.

AgentLens launched on April 29, 2026 with 3 votes, #2,709 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

AI agents in production lack the observability they need. When something breaks, developers have no trace of which call failed, what the model received, or why costs spiked. AgentLens solves this. Full session traces across every LLM call — costs, latency, errors, and prompt/completion logs. Framework-agnostic. Proxy-based integration requires zero code changes. Self-hostable via Docker Compose. TypeScript and Python SDKs included. MIT licensed.

Open-source AI agent observability. One line of code traces every LLM call across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Cohere, and Mistral. Track costs, debug errors, replay sessions. Self-host with Docker in 2 minutes. Free forever.

Drop in @farzanhossans/agentlens . OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Cohere, Mistral — every call traced automatically. Costs, errors, session replay included. No client wrappers, no code changes inside your call sites. Your agent returned the wrong answer. You have no idea which LLM call went wrong. Your OpenAI bill hit $2,000. You can't explain which agent or feature caused it. A bug in production. You can't reproduce it because you have no trace of what the model saw. 5 agents, 3 models, streaming everywhere. Something broke. Good luck finding which call. The universal SDK covers every major provider in one line. Drop down to manual tracing when you need custom span hierarchies.

    Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Hi HN, we're Kiran and Vijay! Over the past two years, we have built a columnar storage engine for observability: logs, metrics, and traces. Today, it's exciting for us to show what we've built on top of that foundation: LLM Agent Observability. Given how non-deterministic agents are, storing all traces without sampling was critical for us. But these traces tend to be in the MBs, sometimes GBs - we needed to store them inexpensively. We also needed the queries and analyses to be fast. To meet both these goals, we store them in S3 in our own parquet-like file format, and query them using AWS…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
