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 enabled controlled rollouts and have improved phased business validation
The best features LaunchDarkly offers include giving us more flexibility in controlling technical deployment with business readiness. A feature can be deployed while access remains limited to the user responsible for validating it. For Escrow Navigator, this supports phase validation for document upload and processing changes, allowing business users to review the experience while QA checks acceptance criteria before broader availability. The main benefit is better control over feature exposure and release coordination, although we have not formally qualified the financial benefit. The flexibility helps our team when rolling out features by enabling us to roll out a feature to a lower environment and disable it in a higher environment after some time, allowing us to manage features without conducting a major deployment. Regarding the feature flag, in the UI, if we have enabled a feature such as giving feedback, but we want to hide that feature, using LaunchDarkly, we can disable that flag, and it will reflect in the UI immediately. We also manage document upload and document review features via flags, with LaunchDarkly helping us by providing more flexibility in coordinating technical deployment. I use LaunchDarkly with GitHub. Our development team utilizes LaunchDarkly alongside GitHub, where GitHub manages our project source code and pull requests while LaunchDarkly controls the availability of features implemented behind flags. This allows teams to merge and deploy code, enabling capability for selected testers before a wider rollout. My role focuses on requirements and UAT validation while the development team handles technical integration.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"All features in Fiddler AI are good, offering excellent connectivity options."
"Fiddler AI is the best solution in the market to analyze the QSR domain."
"Over time, it has become part of our regular workflow whenever we need to check the model health or investigate unexpected behavior."
"What I appreciate most about LaunchDarkly is that it is very easy to use."
"The feature flagging part is excellent, very fast, and very nice and intuitive."
"What stands out to me about LaunchDarkly is that it's super easy to use."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"What I like most about LaunchDarkly is the ability to create segments easily."
"LaunchDarkly is working great, and I would encourage them to continue their excellent performance."
"The best feature LaunchDarkly offers is the capability of having a feature flag that we don't have to build in-house."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"I feel that Fiddler AI could improve in terms of accessibility to the tool itself."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"I believe LaunchDarkly is working very well, but making it easier to integrate with code bases or providing an AI component that assists customers by understanding their code bases and supplying easy-to-integrate code snippets would be very helpful."
"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."
"I think LaunchDarkly's customer support can be improved as it is not responsive."
"I think the initialization of LaunchDarkly inside code can be made much easier because currently, every initialization calls the API."
"One improvement that I think LaunchDarkly could make is that the search can be improved."
"There is definitely a learning curve for new team members when it comes to organizing and cleaning up flags in LaunchDarkly."
"I think LaunchDarkly could be improved by making the user interface simpler, providing better reporting and analytics, and offering more detailed feature flag monitoring."
