WhyLabs is a new company that aims to improve the reliability of AI applications by providing an observability platform. The founders experienced firsthand the challenges and difficulties associated with adopting AI, leading them to develop tools specifically for AI applications. They identified three core functions necessary for any AI operations solution: increasing the observability of AI applications, performing continuous data quality monitoring, and keeping all stakeholders informed about the behavior of the application. The WhyLabs platform enables observability in AI applications by instrumenting the end-to-end AI lifecycle with a lightweight logging agent that continuously collects vital information about the data flowing through each step.
