Getting Started
Introduction
Introspection continuously improves your AI systems with production feedback and frontier practices.
Modern AI products are compound systems: models, orchestration, tools, context, and guardrails all interacting. The model is no longer the bottleneck. The system around it is.
Introspection helps teams continuously improve that system. It combines production feedback with code-aware review workflows so failures become concrete outputs your team can act on: issues, reports, investigations, and pull requests.
Getting Started
- Connect your repository: Introspection indexes your codebase and maps systems to code.
- Let the agent instrument the system: instead of wiring everything by hand, the agent identifies what to trace and drafts the instrumentation work for review.
- Review your first findings: inspect systems, reports, issues, and feedback as they start to accumulate.
- Run tasks to investigate or fix: launch sandboxed agent workflows that produce evidence, patches, or pull requests.
Along the way, Introspection gives you:
- System reviews: continuously assess your AI architecture against frontier practices as models, APIs, and patterns change
- Production feedback: understand what is actually happening in production through traces, conversations, and user feedback
- Tracked issues and reports: turn findings into evidence-backed issues, reports, and prioritized recommendations
- Sandboxed agent tasks: investigate problems, draft fixes, and open pull requests inside scoped execution environments
- Human approval: agents draft, your team reviews. Nothing changes without approval
How It Works
Introspection runs two feedback loops around your system.
- The System Loop reviews how your AI system is built: orchestration, tool design, context engineering, model selection, and emerging best practices.
- The Data Loop reads what is happening in production: traces, agent failures, user frustration, and patterns that would otherwise stay invisible.
Those loops surface work across the core product surfaces:
- Systems: AI services discovered in your codebase and reviewed continuously
- Issues: concrete problems linked to architecture gaps or production behavior
- Reports: higher-level reviews and maturity snapshots across a system
- Feedback: user signals analyzed and triaged at scale
- Conversations: multi-turn interactions resolved to users, agents, and context
- Tasks: sandboxed agent workflows that investigate problems and draft changes
Together, they produce work your team can review and ship: tracked issues, maturity reports, supporting evidence, investigation files, and pull requests.
