Multiplayer, a local debugging agent that runs alongside coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) to capture full-stack, unsampled session data (frontend actions, backend traces/logs, request/response content/headers) only when issues occur, then deduplicates them before feeding to the coding agent.

Solves the problem of 'PR slop' caused by coding agents inheriting limitations from existing observability stacks (sampled traces, aggregated metrics, limited context). Positions itself as providing a 'complete, correlated picture of what actually broke' by capturing unsampled, full-stack data locally and deduplicating issues.
Multiplayer addresses a critical gap in the emerging AI-assisted development workflow: the inadequacy of traditional observability data for debugging by coding agents. Existing observability stacks, with their sampled traces and aggregated metrics, provide insufficient context, leading to 'PR slo...

Ktx, an open-source executable context layer for data agents. It provides business context via Markdown wiki pages and queryable definitions via YAML files (tables, row grain, joins, measures, dimensions, filters, filter groups). Ktx's planner compiles warehouse SQL, handling join paths, grain, relationships, and issues like join fanout.

Makes data agents 'reliable on your data stack' by solving the 'accuracy is the #1 issue' with agents generating incorrect SQL. Positions itself as an improvement over traditional semantic layers by integrating unstructured business context and automating SQL generation based on defined metrics.
Ktx directly addresses the critical reliability challenge of data agents generating incorrect SQL, a significant impediment to their enterprise adoption. By introducing an executable context layer that combines structured queryable definitions with unstructured business context, Ktx ensures agent...
