What is Retrace?

Retrace is a debugging tool designed specifically for AI agents. It allows developers to replay and fork agent runs, making it easier to trace decisions, identify errors, and iterate on agent behavior. By capturing the full execution trace, Retrace helps teams understand why an agent acted a certain way, enabling faster debugging and more reliable AI systems. The tool is particularly useful for complex multi-step agent workflows where traditional logging falls short. Retrace was recently launched on Product Hunt, indicating a fresh entry into the AI agent debugging space. It addresses the growing need for observability and debugging in agentic AI applications, where understanding the chain of thought and actions is critical for trust and performance.
