Deliberate

Deliberate is a developer tool that captures the decision-making process of AI agents, logging the choices they consider and the reasons behind them before any action is executed. It solves the problem of opaque agent behavior in production, where trace tools show tool calls but not the rationale. The product is designed for engineering and platform teams running LangGraph or OpenAI Agents pipelines in production, as well as compliance and security teams needing audit trails. It is delivered as an SDK and proxy that integrates with existing agent runtimes, offering policy gates and approval workflows to control consequential actions.
