LangSmith Polly, our AI assistant for debugging, analyzing, and improving agents, is now in beta

We've launched Polly— an AI-powered assistant inside LangSmith that helps you debug, analyze, and improve your agents. Polly, now in beta, understands agent architectures and failure patterns, giving you a faster path to insight and iteration.

Agents behave very differently from simple LLM calls — long prompts, multi-step traces, and multi-turn conversations make debugging slow and painful. Polly tackles this head-on. It helps you:

• Debug faster:
Polly pinpoints failures and surfaces insights from traces and conversations, saving hours of manual inspection.

• Engineer prompts with confidence:
Describe the behavior you want, and Polly helps rewrite prompts, schemas, and examples intelligently.

• See the full picture:
Polly interprets entire execution histories to spot drift, context loss, and behavioral changes over time.

What Polly does

Inside LangSmith, Polly can:

  • Answer questions about individual traces

  • Analyze full conversation threads

  • Identify subtle behavioral issues

  • Rewrite system prompts

  • Highlight patterns across hundreds of steps
