About traceAI

traceAI is an open source tracing framework for AI applications. It records the steps of an AI workflow, including LLM calls, prompts, token counts, retrieval steps, tool calls, and agent decisions, as structured OpenTelemetry traces. This makes it possible to see where an incorrect answer originated, such as a retrieval step that missed or a tool that returned stale data.

The traces are sent to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend. The homepage names Datadog, Grafana, Jaeger, and Future AGI as examples. Instrumentation is available for more than 50 AI frameworks in Python, TypeScript, Java, and C#. The quickstart examples use the Future AGI setup, which requires Future AGI API and secret keys. Pricing is not stated in the source.

Key features

  • Maps AI workflows to consistent OpenTelemetry spans and attributes
  • Drop-in instrumentation for more than 50 AI frameworks
  • Semantic conventions for LLM calls, agents, tools, retrieval, and vector databases
  • Captures prompts, completions, token counts, model parameters, and tool calls
  • Sends traces to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend
  • Async support, streaming, and error handling
Best for: Developers and engineering teams building LLM or agent applications who already use OpenTelemetry-compatible monitoring tools and want traces of AI workflow steps.
Good for
  • Open source, with the code available in a public GitHub repository
  • Built on OpenTelemetry, so traces can go to existing observability backends
  • Setup is described as adding about 3 lines to existing code
Watch out for
  • The quickstart examples require Future AGI API and secret keys
