💡 Hi Product Hunt! 👋👋
Justin here, CEO of Helicone with my co-founder Cole (@cole_gottdank). We are extremely excited to launch Helicone on Product Hunt!
🧊 Background story
Before launching Helicone, we developed several projects with GPT-3/GPT-J, including valyr chat, airapbattle.com, tabletalk.ai, dreamsubmarine.com, and debateai.org. For each project, we used a beta version of Helicone which gave us instant visibility into user engagement and result quality issues. As we talked to more builders and companies, we realized they were spending too much time building in-house solutions like this and that existing analytics products were not tailored for LLM workloads.
🧊 Helicone’s differentiators
Other startups (LangChain) are working on similar products like LangSmith with high learning curves, rigid pricing structure and closed source, or are slow-moving giants like Datadog which isn’t exactly purpose-built for Large Language Models.
🧊 Our goals
Our goal is simple. As a team of developers, we realized that we wanted a tool that “just works”, and was dead easy to start. We focus a ton on the developer experience, by allowing developers to access all observability and monitoring features with just a header. We aim to help developers surface insights or errors, so they can focus on problem-solving faster.
🧊 What’s new with this launch
⭐ Improved dashboard & request table: we make it faster to segment your data on the dashboard, and view responses and relevant monitoring metrics such as cost, latency, and time to first token (TTFT).
⭐ Introducing Sessions: trace your AI agent and RAG chatbot, debug them or refine your responses in different context in our Playground.
⭐ Introducing Prompts & Experiments: iterate on your prompts, experiment with a different dataset or model, and evaluate your responses with Scores.
⭐ Scalability & Reliability: since the beginning, we’ve made significant progress towards 100% log coverage, so all your logs will be captured.
Thanks for supporting us on the launch! We are always excited to hear your feedback. Feel free to message us or “submit an issue” on GitHub, and we will respond/build it.

Absolutely love Helicone! We've been using the product for around 12 months so far, it has made it so much easier for us to develop, debug and understand how LLM's are performing. The team actively listen to feedback, are super quick to fix any issues, and I've seen the product evolve hugely over the time I've been using it. Look forward to seeing much more, and continuing to be a customer!

i love helicone!! we are doing a good amount of volume with gpt and claude, and helicone is incredibly useful for observability, evals, prompt iteration, etc.
i use it daily.
Been using Helicone for a while for our startup and it's been wonderful. Very useful. I've also met with the founders and they are so talented, helpful and humble. On many occasions they have helped me gain some perspective, especially in the founder-to-founder context.
As a product, Helicone is very easy to use, intuitive and the active Discord community is quite helpful in resolving issues. Great to see it succeed!
