Canary.bot

Native OpenClaw agent observability with real-time monitoring

Visit Website → ✓ Free Tier Available

Overview

Canary.bot is an observability platform designed specifically for AI agent workflows, with native integration for OpenClaw. Unlike generic LLM monitoring tools built for chatbots, Canary understands agent-specific patterns like multi-step reasoning chains, tool call sequences, parent-child agent relationships, and session context that spans hours or days of autonomous operation.

The platform provides real-time visibility into what your agents are doing, how much they are costing, and when something goes wrong. With one-line webhook integration, you can start streaming events immediately without complex instrumentation or SDKs. The activity feed shows every tool call, message, decision, and error as agents work, while cost tracking breaks down API spend by agent, task, and time period.

Canary was built to answer the critical question every agent operator has: "What is my agent doing right now, and is something wrong?" The platform makes agent behavior transparent through decision traces, session replay, and smart alerts that catch problems before they become expensive disasters.
