About Moda

Your agents should never make the same mistake twice. Moda helps you engineer better agents from production data. Find recurring failures, understand what caused them, and build evals from real agent runs. Compare models on the tasks your users actually need. Test changes to your prompts, tools, and workflows against past production traffic before you ship. Know what broke, what to change, and whether the fix worked.
