What it does

Record, replay, debug, and compare every decision your AI agents make. The black box recorder for AI agents.

Record, replay, debug, and compare every decision your AI agents make. When a shopping agent buys the wrong item or a research agent hallucinates a citation, logs of the final answer are not enough. You need the trajectory: what it saw, why it chose a tool, and where versions diverge. Drop in the SDK, hosted MCP, or POST /api/ingest with an AI request. Tracebox pulls inference and records every observation, decision, and tool call. Runs land in Neon PostgreSQL as a hash-chained trajectory — tamper-evident and queryable. Step through decisions, fork from any event, and find the first divergence between agent versions. Step through events like a debugger. Jump to tool calls, inspect payloads,…from tracebox-ochre.vercel.app

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
