PXI: Phoenix Intelligence
PXI is in beta and will make mistakes. Use it with care on production data. Agent assistance is opt-in and controllable: see Permissions and approval.
PXI (pronounced “pixie”, short for Phoenix Intelligence) is a coding agent pointed at your observability data instead of a codebase. It reads the page you are already on, so you hand it the investigation rather than clicking through traces, prompts, and experiments yourself.

What it does

  • Investigates failures: walks failing traces and proposes root causes.
  • Iterates on prompts: reads, edits, and tests playground prompts, with every change shown as a diff you approve.
  • Reasons over your data: queries your Phoenix instance to answer questions evals and dashboards cannot.
  • Drives the product: navigates, filters, and pivots through your Phoenix data the way you would.

Get started

1

Configure a model

Set credentials for at least one provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock, or a custom provider under Settings → AI Providers. PXI defaults to an Anthropic model, so pick a model that matches the provider you configured. See Bring your own model.
2

Open it

Click the assistant button on any Phoenix page, or press ⌘I (Ctrl+I on Windows and Linux). Accept the consent gate the first time.
3

Ask it something

From a failing trace, try “why did this fail?” From the prompt playground, try “make this prompt more robust to empty input.” No need to paste IDs or copy data.

Try a full workflow

This is the Evaluate flow, handed to PXI. Paste it from any page:
PXI shows the dataset and the evaluator as cards for you to approve before it saves anything, then runs the experiment on its own. Leave approval on: Bypass Approval skips those cards, so keep it off until you have seen what PXI does with your data. Every example scores 0: the prompt knows nothing about this airline. Then reply:
