AI-Driven Issue Detection - Early Access & Feedback

[mrduncan]

TL;DR
We're working on AI-Driven Issue Detection - a new way of detecting problems in your application. Instead of relying only on hardcoded rules and pattern matching, we can now detect issues that don't match known strict patterns, use traces and logs together to identify problems, and surface higher-signal performance, security, and other types of issues. This is early, and we're looking for feedback.

Why We Built This

You've told us things like:

"The problem was hidden in the logs."

"Sentry doesn't support this kind of performance issue."

Traditional performance issue detection relies on deterministic detectors. This works well, but it has limits. It can't find problems outside the exact pattern it's written for, use broader trace context like logs, or adapt to new patterns without us shipping new detectors (which take time to build and tune).

AI-Driven Issue Detection analyzes traces and logs together to deliver application-specific insights by identifying performance and correctness problems (e.g. inefficient query patterns) as well as anti-patterns which emerge in runtime behavior.

This Is Early

We've seen it catch real issues that deterministic detectors missed. It also sometimes gets things wrong - and we want your help making it better.

You may see:

• Over-grouping - all issues of the same type are currently grouped together
• Over-detection
• Explanations that feel "off"

When that happens, tell us. Your feedback directly shapes what we fix and build next. We're actively iterating on quality, guardrails, and evaluation.

We'd Love Your Feedback

We're especially interested in:

• Were the issues detected correct and important?
• Any known problems that it missed?
• Were the explanations clear and accurate?
• Is there anything additional information that would’ve made the issue easier to resolve?
• Were you able to use Seer to debug and fix the problem?
