What Is a Causal Model in Observability?
A causal model isn’t an LLM. Here’s what causal models are, how they differ from rules engines and correlation, and why agents need them.

observability
Your agents trust your telemetry. Should they?
Your agents read telemetry fast and literally. OllyGarden shows how missing, contradictory, and split data quietly produce wrong answers, and Causely shows why even clean data needs causal context before an agent opens the wrong PR.

How to Check an Agent's Diagnosis Before It Touches Production
New Causely MCP tools show which diagnoses an agent ruled out and how far a failure would spread, so teams can verify the agent's reasoning before acting in production.

How to Operate AI Agents in Production: The Three-Layer Stack
Operating AI agents in production takes three layers: instrumentation, evaluation, and causal reasoning, including the root-cause analysis behind agent reliability.

Introducing Issues, one problem, one thread, start to finish.
On-call means re-triaging the same problem as diagnoses shift underneath you. Causely's new Issues give people and agents one stable thread instead.

Your on-call AI agent is wrong more than you think
Most frontier LLMs degrade badly by ~1,000 tokens of input, not the millions in their spec sheets. For on-call agents, that means accuracy drops exactly as an incident gets complex. The fix isn't a bigger model. It's not handing the LLM the raw data at all.
semantics
Semantics in Observability
Observability semantics fall into six layers, from entity inventory to constraints. Most tooling reaches layer two. This post defines all six precisely.

Why GenAI applications are hard to operate
Standard observability tools were built for deterministic systems. GenAI applications break that contract — token counts shift, tool call patterns change, completion rates drop — and none of it fires an alert. Here is what OTel GenAI instrumentation gives you today, and where the gaps remain.

Your AI Ops Agent Is Guessing
Named root causes are what turn a guessing agent into one you can trust to act without manual review.
