AI Search in the traces table filter bar is powered by a dedicated search agent. Type in natural language—e.g. “Find traces with errors”—and Alyx turns it into a valid filter. Alyx can compose complex queries from basic ones to capture exactly the data you want. Each query is independent (no conversation history). The same agent runs when you’re on the Traces page and ask Alyx to find spans or build a filter.

How to use

Use the AI Search field in the traces table filter bar: type your query in natural language (e.g. “Find traces with errors” or “Spans where the input contains pricing”) and press Enter or tap send. Alyx turns your query into a filter and applies it to the table. Each query is independent—no conversation history.
