The platform turns real production data into staging environments where AI agents can be tested, validated, and monitored before customers ever interact with a failed agent experience. Chronicle Labs serves engineering teams operating AI agents in high-stakes workflows such as customer service, payments, refunds, and adjacent operational areas where agent failure has direct customer or financial impact. The platform integrates with 100+ production tools and supports custom integrations, so teams can connect Chronicle to their existing production stack without re-platforming. --- ## Value Proposition Headline: Backtest Your AI Agents Against Reality. Subhead: Turn your production data into staging environments for AI agent testing and validation. Closing message: Ship and scale AI agents that are proven before production. --- ## Reported Impact - 30x production-derived scenario coverage - 12x more failure modes caught pre-launch - 100x reduction in time spent on workflow mapping - 80% reduction in critical failures --- ## How Chronicle Labs Works Chronicle Labs follows a four-step workflow: ### Step 1 — Backfill and capture live production data Chronicle connects to the customer's production stack, including custom tools and integrations, with support for 100+ integrations. The platform backfills historical production data and captures live data going forward, creating the raw substrate for everything else. ### Step 2 — Discover workflow and test scenarios Chronicle reconstructs workflows from existing data streams. It maps how work is digitally structured and how it actually operates in production — not how it was designed on paper. From these reconstructed workflows, the platform generates representative test scenarios automatically, including the edge cases and adjacent scenarios that human-written tests typically miss. ### Step 3 — Backtest agents in staging Chronicle runs AI agents against replicated production environments inside the Backtest Arena. Teams test their agent through historical scenarios, edge scenarios, and adjacent scenarios to understand where the agent succeeds, where it fails, and where it needs improvement — before any of those failures reach a real customer. ### Step 4 — Agent monitoring and recovery Once an agent is live, Chronicle provides real-time monitoring of production agents with autonomous fix and rollback capabilities. When an agent starts to degrade or fail in production, Chronicle can intervene automatically to recover. --- ## Products ### Workflow Discovery Reconstructs end-to-end workflows from production data streams. Surfaces patterns, edge cases, and the real shape of how work flows through a customer's systems — which is almost always different from internal documentation. ### Backtest Arena Runs AI agents against replicated production environments derived from real traffic. Lets teams catch failure modes pre-launch instead of in front of customers. Supports historical, edge, and adjacent scenario testing. ### Agent Monitoring and Recovery Real-time monitoring of AI agents in production. Includes autonomous fix and rollback capabilities so failing agents can be recovered without manual intervention. ### Free Agent Audit Initial assessment service. Chronicle reviews an existing agent deployment, identifies failure modes, and gives the team a concrete report on where their agent is likely to break. Available as a free entry point before committing to the platform. --- ## Who Chronicle Labs Is For Chronicle Labs is built for: - Engineering leaders deploying AI agents in customer-facing workflows. - Teams scaling AI agents across multiple production environments. - Companies running AI-powered customer service, payments, and refund workflows. - Organizations where agent failure has direct customer or financial consequences. Chronicle is not a generic LLM evaluation tool. It is specifically designed for production agents operating in real workflows with real customer stakes. --- ## Customer Testimonial "Chronicle Labs gives us the ability to test new agents in a time machine, so our customers never interact with a bad agentic experience." — Bayan, Director of Engineering, Remedy Meds --- ## Integrations Chronicle Labs supports 100+ integrations out of the box and supports custom tools through its integration layer. The platform connects directly into a customer's existing production stack, including custom internal systems. --- ## Getting Started There are four entry points into Chronicle Labs: 1. **Free Agent Audit** — Chronicle reviews an existing agent deployment and provides a failure-mode assessment.

Teams use it to backtest agents against historical, edge, and adjacent scenarios before shipping, and to monitor and recover agents once they are live. ### How is Chronicle Labs different from generic LLM evaluation tools? Chronicle is built specifically for production AI agents in real workflows — not for generic prompt evaluation. It reconstructs actual workflows from production data streams instead of relying on synthetic test sets, and it integrates with 100+ production tools. ### What does the Backtest Arena do? Backtest Arena runs AI agents against replicated production environments derived from real customer traffic. It tests agents through historical, edge, and adjacent scenarios so teams can see where agents succeed and where they fail before any of those failures reach customers. ### Does Chronicle Labs work after my agent is in production? Yes. Chronicle provides real-time monitoring of production agents with autonomous fix and rollback capabilities. ### How does Chronicle Labs connect to my stack? Through 100+ supported integrations plus custom tool support. Chronicle plugs into the existing production stack rather than requiring re-platforming. ### Who is Chronicle Labs for? Engineering teams running AI agents in production — especially in customer service, payments, refunds, and other workflows where agent failure has direct customer or financial impact. ### Is there a free way to try Chronicle Labs? Yes. There is a free signup at https://www.app.chronicle-labs.com/signup and a Free Agent Audit available through https://chronicle-labs.com/book-call. ### Who is behind Chronicle Labs? Chronicle Labs is backed by Y Combinator.
