About Honeycomb
Honeycomb is reorienting observability around AI agents — as both subject and operator
Honeycomb is pushing into AI on two fronts at once: observing AI systems (Agent Timeline now GA, a Gen AI trace tab) and using AI to operate Honeycomb itself (Ask Canvas, BubbleUp Insights, a Canvas Slack app). The new Canvas reframes investigation as real-time human-plus-agent collaboration. Dark mode and Query Math round out steady core work.
