What HoneyHive is
HoneyHive is an agent observability platform for teams that want to observe, evaluate, and improve AI agents in production. Traces can be inspected step by step, including prompts, tool calls, and agent decisions. Evaluation options include code-based checks, LLM judges, and human reviews using annotation queues and custom rubrics. Teams can assess live traffic, set score thresholds, detect drift, and receive email or webhook alerts. Experiments compare agent versions on datasets and track regressions before changes ship. Documented integrations include LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. Tracing follows OpenTelemetry semantic conventions, allowing OTel-instrumented libraries to send data without a dedicated integration guide. HoneyHive supports cost and token-cost tracking, prompt management, and LLM, agent, and retrieval tracing. The free Developer plan costs nothing and includes up to five users, one workspace, 10,000 events per month, and 30-day data retention. Enterprise uses custom pricing and offers multiple hosting options, including self-hosted deployment. HoneyHive states that it is SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR-compliant with EU data residency, and offers a HIPAA BAA for healthcare.
