Braintrust Data, Inc.

Braintrust Data, Inc. is a technology company founded in 2023 by Ankur Goyal, with its headquarters located in San Francisco, California. The company specializes in providing an enterprise-grade observability and evaluation platform specifically designed for building and scaling artificial intelligence (AI) products. Operating as an infrastructure layer for AI development, the platform integrates workflows for model evaluation, prompt engineering, and production monitoring to improve the quality and reliability of AI outputs. Braintrust Data, Inc. primarily serves technology-driven enterprises and software platforms that integrate large language models (LLMs) and AI agents into their core business operations. Business/Product Breakdown Braintrust Data, Inc. provides an end-to-end platform that enables engineering and product teams to manage the full lifecycle of AI application development. The platform features tools for exhaustive tracing, which automatically capture every step of an AI model's reasoning process, including tool calls, retrieved context, and metadata related to latency and cost. Key components include a purpose-built database, known as Brainstore, optimized for querying complex AI traces, and an "LLM-as-a-judge" automated evaluation system that uses built-in scorers to assess model outputs for accuracy, relevance, and safety. Additionally, the platform offers an interactive playground for testing and version-controlling prompt changes against production data before deployment. Through its AI-powered assistant, the system analyzes millions of traces to detect patterns, suggest prompt improvements, and identify potential issues such as hallucinations or data drift.
