Meet Canvas, where humans and agents investigate production issues together
Work through complex incidents in a shared investigation workspace for engineers and AI agents. Canvas suggests queries, builds visualizations, explains results, and keeps the evidence visible as the team reaches a conclusion.
An AI co-pilot for your human team
Faster debugging with guided investigations
Canvas instantly shows why an SLO fired or performance degraded with AI-driven visualizations, relevant context, suggested queries, and plain-language explanations.
Shared workspaces for team analysis
Investigations do not live in silos. Share a live Canvas to Slack, let teammates ask follow-up questions, and keep everyone aligned in one interactive workspace.
Automatic incident response with investigations
Any alert, SLO, or anomaly can trigger an automatic investigation so that you arrive to tested hypotheses and proposed solutions, not just an alarm.
Transform complexity into actionable insights
Help every engineer uncover patterns, identify performance bottlenecks, and share findings with the team instantly. Built on Honeycomb’s OpenTelemetry-native, event-based architecture, Canvas gives AI the speed and context it needs to make every investigation interactive, explainable, and actionable.
Ask questions in plain English
Users can ask natural language questions (e.g., "Why did checkout latency spike yesterday?") and the AI assistant will automatically run queries, analyze traces, and propose visualizations to find answers.
AI that shows its work
The AI's investigation steps and query results are presented in an interactive notebook, allowing users to follow the logic, verify conclusions, and guide the investigation with follow-up questions.
Surface relevant evidence
Features you trust, like BubbleUp, are enhanced with AI insights to pull relevant correlations out of hundreds of dimensions.
Bring your team up to speed
Multiple team members can work on each Canvas, in collaboration with their own AI agent. Your agent can catch you up on what’s happening, read your teammates’ queries, and even their notes, so your team always knows what you’ve done.
Make your agents experts
Built-in skills give your agents an in-depth understanding of observability fundamentals and Honeycomb queries. By creating custom skills you can teach your agents to work from the same runbooks as your top SREs.
Canvas Connectors
Put production telemetry in context
Canvas Connectors make context from across the organization available in Canvas. Harness source code, support tickets, internal documentation and more to find the optimal solution for any production issue.
See it in action
Canvas is how teamwork happens in the agentic era. Agents and humans need to communicate, collaborate, and share evidence to reach a trusted conclusion. See how it works.

Engineers are drowning in uncertainty as most observability tools weren’t built for this sort of “unknown-unknown.” Honeycomb was built for the hardest parts of building software—and autonomous agents have taken those hardest parts mainstream.
