In simple English
When you build software powered by artificial intelligence, your automated helpers often make mistakes that are hard to catch. This tool watches your app, records every step the helper takes, and points out where it broke. If something fails, it can send a message to a coding assistant to write a fix for you. You can use their free cloud service, or run the whole thing on your own server. It costs nothing to try, with limits on monthly data storage.
What it is
Latitude is an open-source observability platform for artificial intelligence agents that tracks execution traces, groups failures, and dispatches coding assistants to fix them. It captures multi-turn sessions and tool calls, then verifies fixes against real regression test datasets.
What it is good for
Solo builders who ship software driven by large language models and spend too much time hunting down why an agent went off the rails. It takes the pain out of debugging complex multi-step prompt chains.
- Captures complete execution paths, multi-turn sessions, and tool calls with a single line of telemetry.
- Automatically groups failing traces so you can see what breaks most often and why.
- Dispatches coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor with full context to write patches and open pull requests.
- Self-hosting a full production cluster requires managing Docker containers and backend infrastructure.
- Heavy reliance on external artificial intelligence providers and third-party coding agents for the self-healing loop.
- Node.js (a system that lets you run JavaScript outside a web browser) environment required for telemetry installation and TypeScript configuration.
