How LangWatch helps enterprises test, evaluate, and trust their AI before release

Electricity reshaped cities but brought fire hazards. The Internet transformed communication but exposed us to cyberattacks. GenAI is no different: its promise is enormous, but so are the risks if deployed blindly.

AI has the potential to automate complex reasoning, power intelligent agents, and make products truly adaptive. Yet, enterprises are right to ask: how do we move fast without losing trust?

A single failed release can do more than harm user experience; it can trigger compliance breaches, financial loss, or reputational damage, like we have seen with examples at Aircanada and DPD.. Especially in regulated industries like finance, insurance, innovation can’t come at the expense of oversight. The challenge isn’t just building AI, it’s building trustworthy AI.

That’s where companies like LangWatch and Flagsmith come together: helping teams de-risk moving AI in production across both the LLM-application and new release lifecycle.

At LangWatch, we see this challenge every day. Our customers are building AI agents, copilots, and decision-making systems that have real impact. They are not experimenting for the sake of it; they are deploying systems that assist customers, automate workflows for better efficiency internally or externally. And before these systems reach production, they need confidence, confidence that their AI behaves as intended, produces reliable outcomes with robust evaluation for AI, and won’t expose the organization to unnecessary risk.

Much like Flagsmith enables teams to control how new features are released, who gets access, when, and under what conditions. LangWatch focuses on when it gets released, and whether it’s ready. Before a new model, prompt, or agent ever touches production, it must pass through a layer of testing and evaluation designed to ensure quality. This is where de-risking begins: before the release toggle is ever flipped.

Testing an LLM model isn’t like testing traditional software. The behavior of an LLM-based system can change subtly with every prompt, model update, or data shift and we are talking about generating context, which is different and harder to monitor than a button in your SaaS product. A model that performs perfectly today can degrade tomorrow. LangWatch helps teams navigate this uncertainty by treating AI systems as living, evolving entities that must be continuously evaluated.

For example, when an AI team optimizes a prompt or LLM, or introduces a new reasoning agent, LangWatch allows them to simulate real-world interactions in controlled environments. They can run AI evaluations that measure not just accuracy, but qualities like helpfulness, consistency, compliance, and bias. They can test entire conversations, explore edge cases, and identify regressions before customers ever experience them. This process turns subjective “it seems fine” judgments into measurable confidence backed by data.

Once teams have that confidence, they can move forward to release. This is where the partnership between LangWatch and Flagsmith becomes powerful. LangWatch ensures the model or agent has been tested and evaluated; Flagsmith ensures it is released in a safe, controlled way. Together, they close the loop on risk management, one focused on AI quality before deployment, the other on governance during and after deployment.

This dual approach embodies two key principles of responsible AI adoption: de-risk and iterate. De-risking is about building the right controls upfront evaluations, governance, and oversight that make AI reliable. Iteration is about moving fast once those controls are in place, learning from data, changing a prompt, model UI/UX of your LLM-app and improving safely.

At LangWatch, we see LLM evaluation and agent simulation not as a one-time task, but as an ongoing process. LLMs are not static; they evolve as organizations collect new data, fine-tune prompts, or integrate new capabilities. That’s why we help teams continuously test and monitor AI behavior during development time, and even after release, catching regressions or unintended changes early. The same principle applies to Flagsmith’s feature flagging control and visibility to make iterations safe.

AI adoption is inevitable, but trust is not automatic. Earning that trust requires discipline, transparency, and the right tooling. When enterprises pair LangWatch and Flagsmith, they gain both: the ability to validate and govern their AI systems end-to-end. It’s how teams can move fast, stay compliant, and innovate without exposing themselves or their customers to unnecessary risk.

The most forward-thinking organizations already operate this way. They understand that innovation doesn’t mean recklessness; it means speed with safety. As AI becomes a core part of every product and decision process, companies that master the balance between experimentation and quality will be the ones that lead.

De-risking AI isn’t about slowing down. It’s about moving forward confidently knowing that every new model, every agent, and every feature has been tested, evaluated, and released responsibly.
