What it does
Helicone is described on its homepage as an AI gateway and LLM observability service. Teams use it to route, debug and analyze their AI applications. A banner on the page announces that Helicone is joining Mintlify. The dashboard shown on the page has views for requests, segments, sessions, users and HQL. A section for improving prompts includes prompts, datasets and a playground. A monitoring section covers rate limits and alerts. Integrations listed include OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, LiteLLM, Anyscale, Together AI and OpenRouter, each with a setup guide in the documentation. The site also links to a models page, a stats page and blog posts about agent frameworks, the LLM stack and API providers. You can try it free for seven days without a credit card. A pricing page is linked, but this page gives no plan details.
