Handit.ai – The Open Source Engine that Auto-Improves Your AI

This podcast discusses Handit.ai, an open-source engine designed to automatically improve AI agents. Handit.ai functions by evaluating AI agent decisions, generating refined prompts and datasets, and then A/B testing these improvements to ensure better performance. Its core purpose is to address common AI agent issues like hallucinations and performance degradation by fixing problems rather than just flagging them. Users praise its ease of integration, stack-agnostic nature, and ability to enhance agent consistency and reliability by automating the optimization process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Handit.ai?

Handit.ai is an open-source engine designed to automatically improve the performance and reliability of AI agents. It goes beyond traditional observability tools by not just flagging issues, but actively generating and testing solutions to fix problems like hallucinations, drift, and degradation in AI agent performance.

How does Handit.ai improve AI agent performance?

Handit.ai evaluates every decision an AI agent makes using production logs and configurable evaluators based on metrics like accuracy, cost, latency, or business KPIs. When underperformance or “drift” is detected, it automatically proposes fixes such as better prompts, rerouted models, or more relevant few-shot datasets. These suggestions are derived from patterns observed in successful versus failing outputs.

How does Handit.ai validate its proposed improvements?

Once Handit.ai proposes fixes (e.g., a new prompt or dataset), it A/B tests them using the same evaluators on a subset of the actual production data. This process determines what truly improves performance. Once a fix is validated as effective, it can be deployed with a single click, allowing users to maintain control while the system handles the optimization grunt work.

Is Handit.ai compatible with existing AI agent setups?

Yes, Handit.ai is designed to be “stack-agnostic.” It can integrate with various AI frameworks and custom pipelines, including LangChain and custom RAGs, as long as you can send JSON logs. This flexibility means most teams can get it running and start seeing evaluations and improvements quickly, often within an hour with assistance from their integration team.

What is the “self-improving memory” feature in Handit.ai?

Handit.ai is developing a “self-improving memory” feature. This system stores edge cases and errors encountered by the AI agent as context. The goal is for this stored memory to be retrieved and used to inform future prompt generation, ensuring that the AI agent not only fixes past mistakes but learns from them to prevent similar failures in the future.

How does Handit.ai help prevent issues like hallucinations?

By continuously evaluating agent decisions against production logs and business KPIs, Handit.ai can detect and “catch hallucinations” before they impact users. When an agent hallucinates or drifts from expected behavior, Handit.ai automatically identifies the problem and proposes prompt or dataset adjustments to correct the behavior, then validates these fixes through A/B testing.

What are the main benefits of using Handit.ai for AI agent management?

Handit.ai offers several key benefits:

• Automated Improvement: It automates the process of identifying and fixing AI agent issues.
• Full Traceability: Provides detailed logs of every input, output, decision, and tool call.
• Stack-Agnostic Integration: Works with various AI frameworks and custom setups.
• Reliability: Helps prevent issues like hallucinations, drift, and silent degradation.
• Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual debugging and engineering time by auto-tuning prompts and monitoring workflows.

What kind of results have users seen with Handit.ai?

One user reported a significant improvement in prompt performance, going from 40% to 70% after Handit.ai ingested around 40,000 calls to a given prompt and A/B tested an improved version. Users generally praise Handit.ai for its ease of use, visual logic, and its ability to deliver tangible improvements in AI agent consistency and reliability, allowing teams to focus on other tasks.
