AI governance has transformed trust and security while human oversight remains focused and minimal
In a recent project and task, I showcase how we use Fiddler AI's key features like AI observability and monitoring, which track hundreds of metrics across traditional machine learning models and large language models to monitor performance, data drift, and accuracy. We use it as security and guardrails that implement real-time safety measures to block harmful outputs and protect against jailbreak and prompt injection attempts. We also utilize it for explainability, helping teams understand why an AI model made a specific prediction or decision, providing deep root cause analysis when problems occur. Lastly, we employ it for governance and compliance, creating centralized audit trails and model cards to help companies meet strict regulatory standards and risk management requirements. Fiddler AI has significantly impacted my organization positively, particularly in security and guardrails. As we use many tools, we previously had humans monitoring all of them. Human errors created loopholes, but now with Fiddler AI, which is trained using our company policies and playbooks, human intervention has become minimal. We have reduced human intervention by 70% and human mistakes by around 90%, which are the points I wanted to mention. Reducing human intervention by 70% directly affects our productivity and day-to-day work. A person who worked with one policy or guardrail for a week now hardly takes one day, saving us six days of effort for each cycle. Moreover, the reduction in human mistakes has significantly improved product quality, with great feedback from vendors and other businesses using the product, increasing confidence levels and scores when using Fiddler AI.

Feature flags have transformed our deployments and empower fast, low-risk experimentation
There is definitely a learning curve for new team members when it comes to organizing and cleaning up flags in LaunchDarkly. Once a project scales, managing multiple flags can become cluttered, and performance could degrade if you do not stay on top of deprecating and maintaining the old flags. Having an easier way to do that would be pretty useful.In a microservices world, managing flag state changes and propagation across complex or heavily distributed backend architectures can introduce latency or consistency challenges. While the UI is clean and pretty intuitive, tracking conditional flag modifications across large engineering teams requires more robust historical audit logging.

Pros

"Fiddler AI is the best solution in the market to analyze the QSR domain."
"Reducing human intervention by 70% directly affects our productivity and day-to-day work, as a person who worked with one policy or guardrail for a week now hardly takes one day, saving us six days of effort for each cycle, and the reduction in human mistakes has significantly improved product quality, with great feedback from vendors and other businesses using the product, increasing confidence levels and scores when using Fiddler AI."
"Since I started using Fiddler AI, it improved my technical expertise about the understanding of logs, bugs, sessions, and traffic, and how to control the request and response."
"All features in Fiddler AI are good, offering excellent connectivity options."
"Over time, it has become part of our regular workflow whenever we need to check the model health or investigate unexpected behavior."
"The guardrails check the user's prompt even before it reaches the model at the back end, looking for things such as injection attempts or jailbreak attempts, and they also inspect the model's response before it goes back to the user, looking for things such as PII leakage, which is one of the major areas my research focuses on."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to confidently ship products across different environments, knowing we can easily turn off any feature that faces issues."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"LaunchDarkly has helped me solve the challenge of iterating quickly on prompts and instructions."
"LaunchDarkly has positively impacted my organization as the value we deliver to customers is much faster, and we saved a lot by using this feature instead of implementing it ourselves."
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"The feature flagging part is excellent, very fast, and very nice and intuitive."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
 

Cons

"I feel that Fiddler AI could improve in terms of accessibility to the tool itself."
"Sometimes Fiddler AI's UI is a bit more complicated because the options sometimes feel confusing when you open the tabs and sub-tabs."
"The main thing I would improve with Fiddler AI is onboarding and ease of use for different stakeholders."
"When explaining a product, it is essential to specify company policies and guardrails. Without providing company-specific criteria, the product may hallucinate, as it will compare international policy boards with our company's policies."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"There was one time that there was an outage, and we had to act on it because the default that we were getting actually ended up breaking some other feature."
"I did not particularly like the rule area; there are many things to add into the rule to enable it, and I think we could make it easier or more customizable at the organizational level."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"LaunchDarkly can be improved by managing old flags. We have an issue with old flags; it became very messy very fast and we need to be very disciplined about managing these flags."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"What I dislike about LaunchDarkly is the inability to quickly find all the flags I have currently running and their statuses."
"I would say you are a little over-engineered, which makes it harder for developers."
