Noveum.ai Overview

Welcome to Noveum.ai—the comprehensive tracing and observability platform built specifically for AI applications. Whether you're building LLM-powered chatbots, RAG systems, multi-agent workflows, or any AI-driven application, Noveum provides the insights you need to understand, debug, and optimize your systems.

🎯 Why AI Applications Need Specialized Observability

Traditional monitoring tools fall short when it comes to AI applications because they don't understand:

• 📊 AI-Specific Metrics: Token usage, model costs, prompt effectiveness
• 🔀 Complex Workflows: Multi-step RAG pipelines, agent interactions, tool usage
• 🧠 Context Flow: How data moves through embeddings, retrievals, and generations
• 💰 Cost Attribution: Which operations drive your AI spending
• 🎯 Quality Metrics: Beyond latency - understanding output quality and relevance

Noveum.ai bridges this gap with purpose-built observability for the AI era.

🚀 Core Platform Components

1. 🐍 Python SDK (noveum-trace)

• Decorator-based tracing for seamless integration
• Automatic instrumentation for LangChain, LlamaIndex, and OpenAI
• Async-aware context propagation
• Production-ready with intelligent sampling and batching

@noveum_trace.trace_llm
def call_openai(prompt: str) -> str:
    return openai.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    )

2. 📘 TypeScript SDK (@noveum/trace)
