What is LangSmith?

LangSmith is an AI agent and LLM observability platform built by LangChain, the company behind the popular LangChain framework. It solves the problem of understanding and debugging complex AI agent behaviors in production by providing complete visibility into agent execution traces. Core capabilities include tracing, monitoring, and insights. Tracing allows developers to see exactly what their agent is doing step by step, pinpointing issues related to latency, cost, and response quality. Monitoring provides real-time dashboards for tracking performance metrics like token usage, error rates, and cost, with online evaluations and alerts. Insights automatically analyze and cluster traces to detect usage patterns and failure modes. LangSmith is designed for teams building AI agents and LLM applications, from individual developers to large enterprises, and integrates with any LLM framework via SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java, as well as OpenTelemetry.
