Agent Trace Viewer

A local-first tool that captures every step of an AI agent's execution (tool calls, LLM reasoning, retries, errors) and renders it as an interactive trace timeline. Like Chrome DevTools Network tab but for agent runs.

🎯The Problem

AI agents make dozens of tool calls per task. When something goes wrong, developers have to scroll through raw logs or JSON dumps to figure out where the agent went off the rails. There's no structured way to replay and inspect agent behavior.

💡The Solution

Drops a lightweight SDK into your agent code that emits structured trace events. A local web UI renders them as a collapsible timeline with token counts, latencies, and diff views for each step.

👥Target Users

Solo devs and small teams building AI agents with Claude, GPT, or open-source models who need to debug multi-step agent workflows.

📊Difficulty: 6/10 — Intermediate

This is an intermediate micro-SaaS idea suited for builders with some shipping experience. Expect to work with third-party integrations, more complex data models, and nuanced user workflows that require careful planning.
