Raindrop AI releases Workshop local AI debugging tool

0

Raindrop AI released Workshop, an open-source local debugging tool for AI agents. Co-founder Ben Hylak posted the GitHub repository raindrop-ai/workshop with a one-command installer. The daemon and Vite UI stream tokens, tool calls, spans, durations, and costs to localhost:5899. The MIT-licensed project supports Claude and Codex models and runs inside desktop environments such as Cloudflare containers. Early adopters at Thine, Merlin, and Raindrop report shorter development cycles without cloud forwarding.

Heard it works with your codex subscription. Now you can use codex to build agents as well as inspect them

I tried it out yesterday and it works great in the in app browser of the codex desktop app

we built the first sane way to debug your agent locally. you can see your traces. codex/claude code can too. this lets them write evals and test your agents automatically. best part: it's completely free and open source. install with 1 line. (github below)

ever wanted to see claude code traces, tool-call by tool-call? now you can.

This is cool you can also set it up to see your claude code usage (useful if you're checking what actually goes in the final prompt when using an orchestration framework)

because it's local, every single token, every single tool call shows streams instantly. why are you sending local traces to someone else's server?

we've been using this extensively internal, and with select customers. it's completely changed the way we build agents.

here's what an engineer at @gcai thinks:

"The old loop was: run evals, wait, dig through traces, patch the issue, rerun, repeat. With Workshop, my coding agent is in the loop while the run is still happening." - Brian Rhindress, AI Engineer, http://GC.AI
