UserTrace

About UserTrace
UserTrace is an evaluation platform designed to simulate multi-turn user journeys for AI agents using AI-driven ‘agent-as-a-judge’ models tailored to specific use cases. It generates persona-based interactions from aggregated signals and automatically assesses functionality, safety, regressions, and user satisfaction. The platform produces golden datasets, smart prompt suggestions, and root cause analysis (RCA) insights, while also offering CI/CD-ready alerts for seamless integration into development workflows. Teams rely on UserTrace to identify issues early, validate guardrails and compliance, and measure the impact of AI agents on retention and engagement. Actionable insights are delivered directly to Slack, analytics tools, or CI/CD pipelines via a lightweight MCP server, accelerating iteration cycles. By providing a controlled environment for testing, UserTrace helps organizations catch problems before deployment and refine their AI systems based on real-world user behavior patterns.
