Overview

Papaya is an optimization platform for production AI agents. It analyzes agentic workflows across prompts, tools, context, and traces to identify recurring issues and rank fixes by their expected impact on quality, latency, and cost.

The platform works by ingesting production traces through a lightweight SDK, running 200+ research-backed analyses to detect patterns, and surfacing ranked recommendations with evidence from your own traffic. Engineers can review suggestions and approve fixes that are automatically opened as pull requests, with continuous monitoring to prevent regression.

Typical results include 10%+ quality improvements on first workflow analysis, $25K+ annualized savings per workflow, and time to first improvement under 15 minutes from SDK install.
