AI incident investigation for production teams

When production AI goes wrong,get to the answer without losing the day.

TalosRed turns the telemetry you already have into a reviewable incident investigation, so your team spends less time reconstructing failures and more time resolving them.

The incident starts with one bad outcome.
Then the real work begins.

The workflow completed. So why was the result wrong?

A customer reports a bad outcome. Engineering opens the trace and nothing obviously crashed, so someone has to work backwards through prompts, tool calls, state, and logs.

Everyone has part of the answer.

Engineering has traces, another person is querying logs, and support has customer context. The useful evidence exists, but the investigation still has to be assembled by hand.

You find a likely cause. The scope is still unclear.

Teams still need to search production history and work out which runs belong to the same incident, not just whether one strange run occurred.

The fix ships. The uncertainty does not.

A regression test can pass while production behavior remains messy. Teams keep sampling runs because they need to know whether the incident pattern disappeared.

This is not a missing-dashboard problem. It is the cost of turning telemetry into a decision.

//Start with the incident

Keep the tools you already use.
Put the telemetry to work.

Start with a real failed or suspicious workflow and the traces or logs around it. No production routing change is required for the first review.

Bring the incident and its telemetry

OpenTelemetry, OpenInference, and exported telemetry can be used without changing production routing for the first review.

Reconstruct what actually happened

TalosRed correlates the workflow into a reviewable timeline across model calls, tools, state, and supporting events.

Separate evidence from assumption

Make clear what the telemetry shows, what the evidence suggests, and what still requires authoritative customer or business context.

Spend less time reconstructing incidents.
Spend more time fixing them.

Bring the traces and logs around an incident into one investigation. Keep the timeline, findings, evidence, open questions, and remediation state together.

Keep your observability stack.

Your telemetry platform should keep capturing the runs. TalosRed begins when someone opens those traces and asks what happened, who else was affected, and whether the fix held.

Review an incident
An investigation, not another pile of telemetry
Reduce investigation toil
Bring the incident context together instead of repeatedly stitching it across tools.
Scope affected behavior
Find related production runs and see why they belong.
Give everyone one answer
Engineering, support, and leadership review the same evidence.
Know what happened after the fix
Compare later behavior against the incident and its baseline.

What the investigation contains

Incident timelineFollow the sequence from reported outcome to the evidence behind it.
Trace-linked findingsInspect each conclusion against its source trace and event.
Affected-run rationaleSee which executions appear related and why they qualify.
Facts, inferences, and unknownsKeep observed behavior, inference, and missing context separate.
Remediation comparisonCompare later production behavior without assuming the fix held.
Shareable incident recordGive engineering, support, and leadership one common record.

A customer reports that the AI did something wrong

Reconstruct the exact workflow, gather the evidence, and determine whether similar behavior appeared elsewhere.

Behavior changes after a prompt, model, or tool update

Compare against previous behavior and identify where the execution path began to differ.

Support or leadership needs an answer engineering can defend

Turn telemetry, findings, and remaining unknowns into one reviewable incident record.

You fixed the failure but need to know whether it is really gone

Watch actual production behavior after remediation instead of relying only on a regression test.

Bring one incident that is already
costing your team time.

We work with teams already running AI in production. Bring a recent failure, recurring investigation problem, or suspicious production change and the telemetry around it.

Best fit

  • Multi-step production AI workflows
  • Meaningful customer or business consequences when behavior is wrong
  • Existing traces or logs
  • Investigations that still require manual stitching

Low-friction start

  • Exported or anonymized telemetry accepted
  • No production routing change for the first review

Private design partner program

We will use the incident to test whether TalosRed can reduce the work required to reconstruct what happened, establish affected scope, assemble the evidence, and verify what changed after remediation.
