BlueTrace by Hamming
Voice agent monitoring
Every deployed agent, watched around the clock
Track uptime, latency, and conversation quality across every deployed agent, from customer support IVRs to embedded assistants.
- Silent failures, missed intents, and degraded audio, detected automatically
Scheduler 14:00 · bookings failing → on-call paged
Health checks
Hamming calls your production agents as often as every hour to check for hallucinations, latency, and poor performance.
- An alert the moment a check fails
Anomaly detection
Irregular behavior flagged before it escalates.
- Accuracy drops and intent confusion
- Fewer false alarms, thanks to context-aware baselines
- Issues correlated across speech, LLM, and telephony layers
Live monitoring
Drift and degradation caught the moment they appear.
- Latency spikes, stalled responses, and failed turns
- Uptime and completion rates

Quality metrics
The metrics that decide whether a call went well.
- Audio quality and clarity
- Response accuracy and appropriateness
- Conversation flow and language understanding
- Signals of user satisfaction
Performance trends
How your agents perform over time, in one dashboard.
- Speech recognition, LLM, and text-to-speech performance by agent, region, provider, and user cohort
- Long-term uptime, accuracy, and containment
- Performance before and after retraining or new models
- Benchmarks against your own KPIs
Operational insights
Monitoring data turned into decisions about performance and staffing.
- Reliability correlated with staffing, load, and time of day
- Reliability matched with call volume forecasts, so scaling and staffing move ahead of demand
- Alerts before failure rates threaten your SLAs
Alerts that lead to a fix
Real-time alerts for critical issues, sent to the people who fix them.
- Links straight to the affected calls
- Each fix verified by an automated follow-up test and tracked over time
02:14 paged on-call · 12 calls attached · test added
Real-time alerts
Know the moment latency spikes, the agent stops responding, or call quality drops.
- Custom thresholds for latency, hallucinations, handoff failures, and guardrail failures
- Slack, email, PagerDuty, or any webhook
- Escalation workflows for engineering and operations
- Trends in how often each alert fires
Case flagging
Send problem calls to a human, or into your test data.
- Flag calls that need human review
- Build golden datasets from flagged calls
- Track each case to resolution
Guided workflows
A standard way to triage and resolve agent issues.
- Step-by-step resolution guides and troubleshooting procedures
- Recurring failure patterns in scripts, intents, or provider APIs, with annotated transcripts and KPI impact
- Policy and prompt gaps handed to supervisors with example calls
- Solutions documented for the whole team

Root cause analysis
Find the source of an issue with context from every layer of the call.
- Failures traced across speech recognition, LLM, and text-to-speech
- Infrastructure and prompt-level errors, told apart
- Full session logs with timestamps and error codes
- Transcripts and audio for diagnosing issues
Session replay
Replay real calls to hear where they went wrong.
- The moments users drop or agents stall
End-to-end traces
Each interaction traced from transcription to response.
- Model drift and voice rendering errors, found at the layer that caused them
- OTEL-friendly tracing

All integrationsQuestions about
BlueTrace.
Browse every answer on the FAQ pageHamming provides real-time monitoring of your production voice agents by ingesting calls via webhooks or direct integration with your voice platform (LiveKit, Pipecat, ElevenLabs, Retell, Vapi, or custom). Every call is automatically scored using the same LLM-as-judge evaluators used in testing, giving you consistent quality metrics across test and production.
Configure proactive alerts for latency spikes, hallucinations, handoff failures, quality threshold breaches, specific guardrail failures, error patterns, and anomalous behavior. Alerts can be sent to Slack, email, PagerDuty, or any webhook endpoint.
Set customizable thresholds per metric and create automated escalation workflows so your engineering and ops teams catch issues before customers do.
Enterprise customers get dedicated Slack channels with direct access to our team for critical production issues.
Yes. Hamming provides end-to-end observability across every stage: speech recognition (ASR), LLM processing, text-to-speech (TTS), and telephony. Trace each interaction from transcription to response delivery to identify exactly where issues occur.
Our root cause analysis automatically traces failures across the ASR → LLM → TTS chain, helping you pinpoint infrastructure vs prompt-level errors in seconds.
Building can be the right call if monitoring or analytics is a core product capability or you have strict data residency constraints. For most teams, buying gets you coverage faster while your engineers stay focused on the agent itself.
If you already have monitoring, Hamming can still add value through voice-native evaluation, OTEL-friendly tracing, and calibrated scoring. See the Build vs Buy guide for a full framework.
Yes. Session replay lets you listen to audio segments where users drop or agents stall, with full transcripts, timestamps, and error codes. Compare pre- and post-fix performance to verify your changes actually worked.
Teams use session replay to understand user frustration moments, identify recurring failure patterns, and drive continuous improvement in agent design.
Hamming flags accuracy drops, intent confusion, and behavioral drift against context-aware baselines, which cuts false positives.
Issues are correlated across ASR, LLM, and telephony layers so you understand whether problems stem from transcription errors, model drift, or infrastructure issues.
Yes. Hamming's analytics dashboard lets you benchmark performance across regions, providers, and user cohorts. Analyze ASR, LLM, and TTS performance to identify which configurations deliver the best reliability.
Yes, if you are monitoring production calls that contain PHI. Hamming signs BAAs for healthcare deployments and supports US-only data residency, configurable PII and PHI redaction, and single-tenant deployment for stricter isolation.
Our RBAC system lets you restrict production monitoring access to authorized personnel while giving contractors testing-only access.
Hamming tracks pass rates, latency metrics (time to first word, total response time), interruption rates, and custom guardrail scores. You can view trends over 30+ days and add annotations to mark deployments or prompt changes.
The performance dashboard shows aggregate metrics alongside per-call details, making it easy to identify systemic issues vs one-off failures.
Yes. With one click, you can convert any production call into a replayable test case. This builds a regression suite from real-world failures, ensuring you never ship a fix that breaks something else.
Teams use this to build "golden datasets" of challenging calls that every agent update must pass before deployment.
Hamming's evaluators compare agent responses against your configured knowledge base, tool outputs, and expected behaviors. We flag responses that contradict provided information, make up facts, or deviate from your agent's defined scope.
Each flagged issue includes the specific transcript excerpt and reasoning, making it easy to understand what went wrong and why.
