Semantic observability for AI agents to help teams fix failures fast

Ship reliable agents with confidence. AI agents often fail quietly, picking the wrong tools, looping, hallucinating, and more. The Context Company tells developers when and exactly where their agents fail so issues can be uncovered and fixed fast. It combines traditional observability across traces, tool calls, latency, and costs with the ability to uncover silent failures that standard monitoring misses. Get started with less than 10 lines of code.

Cofounder at The Context Company, extending traditional AI agent observability to uncover silent failures. Previously studied CS+Math at UF, built and hyperoptimized AI agents at Mintlify (W22), and was one of the first engineers at RevisionDojo (F24). I've been in love with startups since I was in high school :)

What is up! Previously studied EECS + Business at UC Berkeley M.E.T. and worked on Gmail Intelligence at Google, where I built models powering intent detection for 26B+ daily emails. Now building The Context Company, where we are powering developers to ship AI agents they can trust. I'm excited about solving context engineering 🙃 Oh, and I take one selfie every day!

TL;DR

Setup takes under 10 lines of code, and we now support Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, and LangGraph, with more frameworks coming fast.

Our Ask

  • If you’re building with Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, or LangGraph, use The Context Company for observability.
  • Setup takes just a few lines - DM us on Bookface or Slack, or email founders@thecontext.company, and we’ll personally onboard you in 15 minutes.
  • Not using those frameworks yet? Tell us what you’re building with, and we’ll add support fast.

The Problem

AI agents often fail quietly. Traditional observability tools only show latency or stack traces. They miss the silent layer of failures that happen inside reasoning steps or tool calls.

Most teams end up waiting until users report issues, and by then, it’s already too late. As a developer, I know you’ve been there scrolling through endless logs, trying to piece together what an agent actually did and why it failed (because trust us, we have too 🙏🏽).

We’re rethinking observability from the ground up and making silent failures a first-class primitive in agent monitoring.

Our Solution:
Instead of just visualizing traces, we analyze them and detect reasoning breakdowns across runs. In addition to traditional metrics like latency, cost, and token usage, The Context Company surfaces failures in a clean, developer-friendly dashboard.

And we’ve gone beyond the cloud:

You can now run our developer package locally to debug traces on your machine, even when you’re offline or iterating fast.

Our Progress

  • Framework support: Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, and LangGraph.
  • Instant setup: <10 lines of code - no refactoring or modifying your agent needed. This is what it looks like:

  • Local debugging: Run observability locally on your laptop for real-time trace analysis.
  • Dashboards: Full visibility into agent runs, tool calls, latency, costs, and semantic failures.

The Team
Arman and Rohil have been best friends since 6th grade (8+ years now!).

Arman optimized the public-facing AI agent at Mintlify, where he cut failure rates by 82%, and worked with enterprise design partners to build custom agents. Rohil worked on Gmail Intelligence at Google, reducing hallucinations in intent detection by 27% across 26B+ daily emails.

P.S. Even if you’re not using AI SDK, LangChain, or LangGraph, we’re adding support for other frameworks soon. Tell us what you need 😎
