Looking through all your traces for issues is cumbersome—like finding a needle in a haystack. Alyx can look over your data fast, find patterns, surface them, and help you apply what matters so insights aren’t ephemeral. Error analysis usually means reading free text, turning it into labels, then figuring out the critical issue—that’s difficult. On the Traces page, Alyx is your best friend, with context of your time range and skills for analysis, search, categorization, evals, and more.

Where to find Alyx

Open the Alyx chat from the Traces page (the main traces table view). Alyx has context of your current time range and can analyze all traces in that window.
