Latitude

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknownNew

Open-source AI agent observability that finds failures and dispatches fixes

Latitude is an open-source, MIT-licensed observability platform for production AI agents, from Latitude (Latitude Data S.L.). Teams capture OpenTelemetry-compatible traces of agent sessions, tools, and costs, then work an Observe, Understand, and Refine loop that turns recurring failures into tracked signals and dispatches a coding agent to fix them, instead of leaving insights buried in raw traces.[1][2][3]

Quick verdict

Engineering teams running AI agents in production benefit most from Latitude. One MIT-licensed platform combines OpenTelemetry-compatible tracing with session, cost, and latency views, behavior clustering over real conversations, tracked failure signals, and monitors that dispatch Claude Code or Cursor to open a fix. The constraint is team shape and spend: real use assumes engineers who own the integration plus either Cloud credits or an Enterprise arrangement, and current evidence includes no inspected firsthand user reports. Teams that can own that setup should default to Latitude for its signal-to-pull-request loop; teams wanting free self-hosted operation with a fully documented community path should compare Langfuse first.[1][2][3]

Key features

  • OTEL-compatible trace ingestion OTEL-compatible trace ingestion: send agent telemetry over the documented OpenTelemetry exporter or the Latitude SDKs and each interaction arrives as traces of LLM calls, tool calls, and retrieval steps, with no proprietary format lock-in.[1][2]

  • Session, user, tool, memory, and cost views Session, user, tool, memory, and cost views: follow multi-turn sessions, per-user activity, per-tool reliability, persistent memory records, and spend with cost-per-session views, tags, environments, and release markers.[1]

  • Behavior clustering and conversation intelligence Behavior clustering and conversation intelligence: sessions group by meaning into topics with trend and outcome metrics such as escalations, resolutions, abandonments, and retries, surfacing what the agent keeps doing without a hand-written query.[1][2]

  • Semantic and filtered search Semantic and filtered search: search every trace by meaning, exact text, or metadata filters to move from a broad question to a focused set of real examples.[1]

  • Signals with lifecycle Signals with lifecycle: recurring failures group into prioritized signals with trends, failing traces, affected-user counts, and a lifecycle the team can act on, fed by annotations, flaggers, evaluations, and custom checks.[1][2]

  • Monitors with Slack, email, and webhook alerts Monitors with Slack, email, and webhook alerts: watch a signal, a saved search, or raw traffic and open an incident with in-app, email, or Slack notification when something new appears or escalates.[1][2]

  • Coding-agent dispatch to pull request Coding-agent dispatch to pull request: route a new or escalating signal to Claude Code or Cursor with full context, sample traces, and a deep link; the agent implements the smallest correct fix and opens a pull request, including an editor-side flow over MCP.[1][2]

  • Datasets, experiments, and human annotation Datasets, experiments, and human annotation: build versioned golden datasets from validated production traces, compare traffic slices or releases side by side, and leave inline feedback that becomes structured, searchable signal.[1][2]

Who will love it

  • Teams debugging agents in production Teams debugging agents in production: trace, session, and cost context plus behavior clustering isolates failing model, tool, and retrieval steps without retrofitting instrumentation.[1][2]

  • Teams running continuous reliability loops Teams running continuous reliability loops: monitors plus signal-fed evals plus dispatch to pull request turns each incident into a tracked fix with regression scoring after release.[1][2]

  • Organizations needing a compliance path Organizations needing a compliance path: Enterprise SAML SSO, role-based access, on-premises deployment, an uptime and support SLA, and SOC 2 plus ISO 27001 reports address regulated procurement.[1]

Who should avoid it

  • Non-technical teams wanting turnkey AI Non-technical teams wanting turnkey AI: SDK or pipeline integration, API keys, and plan setup assume engineers who own code and infrastructure.[1][2]

  • Teams assuming Langfuse-scale community resources Teams assuming Langfuse-scale community resources: Langfuse offers the larger community with official SDKs for LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, and Vercel AI, so narrower-ecosystem teams should weigh integration coverage first.[1][2]

  • Budget-capped teams ignoring credit metering Budget-capped teams ignoring credit metering: Starter caps at 20,000 credits with 30-day retention and Pro adds $20 per extra 10,000 credits, so costs scale with trace volume.[1]

Alternatives and compatibility

Langfuse for larger-community observability plus evals Langfuse for larger-community observability plus evals: both platforms are MIT-licensed with production tracing and evaluation workflows, while Langfuse brings the larger community and framework SDKs and Latitude adds behavior clustering, semantic search, per-topic outcome metrics, and signal-to-pull-request dispatch. The comparison is positioned by Latitude, not endorsed by Langfuse.[1][2]

Helicone for gateway-centered logging Helicone for gateway-centered logging: Helicone routes OpenAI-compatible traffic through one gateway with automatic logging, while Latitude ingests SDK and OpenTelemetry telemetry and builds the analytics-plus-dispatch layer on top. Choose by integration shape.[1][2]

Cloud versus self-hosted operation Cloud versus self-hosted operation: managed Cloud runs Starter, Pro, and Enterprise tiers while the MIT codebase carries a published Docker distribution with Enterprise on-premises deployment. Confirm the supported community self-host path before planning operator-run infrastructure.[1][2]

Questions worth asking

What is the best Latitude alternative for non-technical users?

Neither Latitude nor its closest catalogue comparison, Langfuse, suits non-technical users, since both assume engineers own the SDK or OpenTelemetry integration and the infrastructure. A non-technical team should choose a finished AI product for its task rather than any observability platform.[1][2][3]

Is Latitude really no-code?

Mostly for analysis, not for setup. Once instrumented, trace inspection, semantic search, signals, datasets, and annotations are point-and-click, but SDK or pipeline integration, API keys, and Cloud or Enterprise setup still need engineering work.[1][2]

How much does Latitude cost per month?

As checked October 11, 2026, Latitude Cloud lists a free Starter tier with 20,000 credits per month and 30-day retention, paid Pro at $99 per month with 100,000 credits and 90-day retention plus $20 per extra 10,000 credits, and custom Enterprise pricing. Pro adds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reports, and Enterprise adds SAML SSO, on-premises deployment, and an uptime and support SLA, so confirm current pricing on latitude.so before budgeting.[1]

Can you self-host Latitude?

Partly confirmed: the codebase is open source under MIT with a published Docker distribution, and the Enterprise tier lists on-premises deployment. A community self-host procedure was not fully verified in the inspected documentation, so confirm the supported path with Latitude before planning operator-run infrastructure.[1][2][3]
