How do I know if my AI agent is working in production?
An agent is working in production when its behavioral signal rates are low and stable, its cohorts skew happy rather than at-risk, and its latest version didn't regress against the previous one. Flowlines surfaces all three on top of the traces you already store, so 'is it working' becomes a number instead of a hunch.
“Working in dev” and “working in production” are different claims. Dev tells you the happy path runs. Production tells you what happens across thousands of real sessions, real users, and weeks of drift. Per-call logs can't answer the second one; they show that calls succeeded, not whether behavior is healthy.
Flowlines answers it with three reads. Signals: what share of sessions trip hallucination, cascade_failure, user_frustration, cost_escalation, and is that rate climbing? Cohorts: are your users skewing happy, or is the at-risk bucket growing? Versions: did the last deploy move those numbers the right way?
When all three are green, the agent is working. When one moves, you know which one and where to look, before it shows up in churn.
