What is HoneyHive?
HoneyHive is an enterprise-grade AI observability and evaluation platform that helps teams monitor, debug, and optimize AI agents and applications at scale. The platform provides OpenTelemetry-native distributed tracing across 100+ LLMs and agent frameworks, enabling visibility into complex multi-agent systems through session replay, online evaluation for detecting failures in live systems, and comprehensive artifact management. HoneyHive offers 25+ pre-built evaluators for quality and safety assessment, offline experiment capabilities with regression detection, and CI/CD integration for automated testing. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR and HIPAA compliant, with deployment options including multi-tenant SaaS, dedicated cloud, or self-hosted air-gapped environments.
