What Raindrop does
Monitor your AI agents the right way. AI engineers use Raindrop to get alerts about silent failures in their AI agents. Raindrop sends you alerts when your AI misbehaves and links straight to the events, so you can dig into the conversations or traces, understand the root cause, and fix it, fast.

Sentry for AI Agents
We built Raindrop to monitor AI agents and alert AI engineers when their models silently fail or behave unexpectedly. It links directly to logged events so engineers can investigate conversations or traces quickly, find root causes, and fix issues fast. Essentially, it's a monitoring and alerting platform tailored for AI-driven products.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and our company will continue to be based there after YC.
San Francisco has the right mix of AI talent, startups, and engineers building AI products. Being here keeps us close to customers and access to top technical hires.
