Our latest research paper on Agent Reliability is Out Now!!

“We have full observability" is the most dangerous sentence in agent deployment. What you have is - Logs. Traces. Metrics. Dashboards.
NOT logs of the compounding reasoning errors that led to those actions. Visibility ≠ Understanding.

Our latest research paper introduces AgentCompass, a memory-augmented evaluation framework for post-deployment agent debugging without actually having to manually write or tune evals. It models the reasoning process of expert debuggers with:

🔹 A multi-stage pipeline (error identification → thematic clustering → quantitative scoring → strategic summarization)
🔹 A formal error taxonomy spanning reasoning, safety, workflow, tool, and reflection failures
🔹 Density-based clustering (HDBSCAN) to surface recurring failure modes across traces
🔹 Episodic + semantic memory for continual learning across executions

On the TRAIL benchmark, AgentCompass set a new state-of-the-art:
✅ Localization Accuracy: 0.657 (vs. 0.546 for Gemini-2.5-Pro)
✅ Joint score: 0.239 (highest reported)
✅ Uncovered safety and reasoning errors missed by human annotations

If you’re deploying AI agents at scale, don’t read this later. Read it now and tell us how it helps.
