Description
Francis Davidson, founder of Odessia, shares how his team uses LangSmith Engine to build and maintain a visually rich, low-latency AI travel agent, one that can book flights, hotels, and full itineraries in a single conversation. He breaks down the core challenge: dozens of tool calls that have to resolve in seconds, or users drop off. With LangSmith Engine, his team can aggregate thousands of traces, combine them with source code and eval results, and extract actionable insight, right down to opening PRs at the root of issues.
