Short answer

How can I use AI to find the cause of a session error?

Your AI pulls console logs and technical events from OpenReplay sessions to pinpoint exactly where a user's session went wrong. You'll get a clear breakdown of the technical failures that led to the bug.

Debugging outcomes.

Where your investigation leads.

The AI turns raw session data into clear technical insights.

LOGS

Error log extraction

The AI pulls console logs and technical events. You get the specific error messages that occurred during the session.

ROOT CAUSE

Bug origin identification

By analyzing the event sequence, your agent finds the exact action that triggered the failure.

PATH

User journey mapping

The AI traces the user's steps through the app. This shows you the path taken right before the crash.

HUMAN

Manual code fixes

The AI identifies the problem but cannot modify your code. You still need to write and push the actual fix.

The workflow

What your AI does when a bug is reported.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of gathering and parsing technical data.

  1. Fetch session data

    Your agent retrieves the specific session you want to investigate.

    get_session

  2. Pull technical events

    The AI pulls the list of all console logs and technical events from that session.

    list_session_events

  3. Identify errors

    The agent scans the event list to find failed requests or console errors.

    list_session_events

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI explains the technical failure in plain language based on the session data.

    get_session
