AI governance has transformed trust and security while human oversight remains focused and minimal
In a recent project and task, I showcase how we use Fiddler AI's key features like AI observability and monitoring, which track hundreds of metrics across traditional machine learning models and large language models to monitor performance, data drift, and accuracy. We use it as security and guardrails that implement real-time safety measures to block harmful outputs and protect against jailbreak and prompt injection attempts. We also utilize it for explainability, helping teams understand why an AI model made a specific prediction or decision, providing deep root cause analysis when problems occur. Lastly, we employ it for governance and compliance, creating centralized audit trails and model cards to help companies meet strict regulatory standards and risk management requirements. Fiddler AI has significantly impacted my organization positively, particularly in security and guardrails. As we use many tools, we previously had humans monitoring all of them. Human errors created loopholes, but now with Fiddler AI, which is trained using our company policies and playbooks, human intervention has become minimal. We have reduced human intervention by 70% and human mistakes by around 90%, which are the points I wanted to mention. Reducing human intervention by 70% directly affects our productivity and day-to-day work. A person who worked with one policy or guardrail for a week now hardly takes one day, saving us six days of effort for each cycle. Moreover, the reduction in human mistakes has significantly improved product quality, with great feedback from vendors and other businesses using the product, increasing confidence levels and scores when using Fiddler AI.

Feature flags have transformed our deployments and empower fast, low-risk experimentation
There is definitely a learning curve for new team members when it comes to organizing and cleaning up flags in LaunchDarkly. Once a project scales, managing multiple flags can become cluttered, and performance could degrade if you do not stay on top of deprecating and maintaining the old flags. Having an easier way to do that would be pretty useful.In a microservices world, managing flag state changes and propagation across complex or heavily distributed backend architectures can introduce latency or consistency challenges. While the UI is clean and pretty intuitive, tracking conditional flag modifications across large engineering teams requires more robust historical audit logging.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since I started using Fiddler AI, it improved my technical expertise about the understanding of logs, bugs, sessions, and traffic, and how to control the request and response."
"Over time, it has become part of our regular workflow whenever we need to check the model health or investigate unexpected behavior."
"Reducing human intervention by 70% directly affects our productivity and day-to-day work, as a person who worked with one policy or guardrail for a week now hardly takes one day, saving us six days of effort for each cycle, and the reduction in human mistakes has significantly improved product quality, with great feedback from vendors and other businesses using the product, increasing confidence levels and scores when using Fiddler AI."
"All features in Fiddler AI are good, offering excellent connectivity options."
"Fiddler AI is the best solution in the market to analyze the QSR domain."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to confidently ship products across different environments, knowing we can easily turn off any feature that faces issues."
"The best feature LaunchDarkly offers is the capability of having a feature flag that we don't have to build in-house."
"The feature flagging part is excellent, very fast, and very nice and intuitive."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted our organization by transforming how we deploy software and manage risk."
"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"These features in my current project have helped my team because they allow us to specifically target users to start turning on functionality, we can monitor the behavior and make sure that it's behaving as expected when the feature toggle is turned on, and then we can increase the usage."
 

Cons

"Sometimes Fiddler AI's UI is a bit more complicated because the options sometimes feel confusing when you open the tabs and sub-tabs."
"The main thing I would improve with Fiddler AI is onboarding and ease of use for different stakeholders."
"When explaining a product, it is essential to specify company policies and guardrails. Without providing company-specific criteria, the product may hallucinate, as it will compare international policy boards with our company's policies."
"LaunchDarkly can be improved by managing old flags. We have an issue with old flags; it became very messy very fast and we need to be very disciplined about managing these flags."
"I don't see any return on investment; I work in the platform team that has to manage the LaunchDarkly infrastructure, and I can't really see any return on investment."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"I did not particularly like the rule area; there are many things to add into the rule to enable it, and I think we could make it easier or more customizable at the organizational level."
"Managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"I believe LaunchDarkly is working very well, but making it easier to integrate with code bases or providing an AI component that assists customers by understanding their code bases and supplying easy-to-integrate code snippets would be very helpful."
