About whatbroke
whatbroke is an open-source developer tool designed to help developers inspect and debug AI agent workflows. By diffing two separate agent runs, it allows users to see exactly what changed between execution cycles.
The tool provides detailed visibility into the operational behavior of AI agents by showing which tool calls fired, how the arguments differed, what each run cost, and where the final outputs diverged. Additionally, whatbroke is built to fit seamlessly into modern development workflows; it can be integrated directly into your Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline to automatically fail builds when a critical call is dropped.
To make ingestion easy, whatbroke natively reads data from multiple standard formats and observability platforms, including JSONL, OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, and LangSmith exports.
Pros of whatbroke
- Open-source and accessible on GitHub
- Integrates into CI pipelines with the ability to fail builds on dropped calls
- Provides granular diffs of tool calls, arguments, costs, and output divergence
- Supports popular observability formats including OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, LangSmith, and JSONL
Cons of whatbroke
- No standalone cloud hosting or graphical UI mentioned
- Requires existing telemetry or export data to perform comparisons
- Primarily tailored for AI agent workflows rather than generic software debugging

About Vizhi
Vizhi (derived from the Tamil word for "eye") acts as a specialized mission control dashboard for monitoring and managing your Codex CLI sessions. Developed by indie developer Ravi Shankar, Vizhi is designed to keep an eye on active execution sessions so developers don't have to constantly tab back and forth into their terminal windows.
The tool provides deep integration with hardware controllers like the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, enabling users to keep track of up to six live sessions simultaneously. Through this physical interface, developers can perform quick action executions, such as one-press session approvals, and issue local voice prompts powered by Whisper.
For developers who do not own a hardware keypad, Vizhi provides a local browser dashboard that offers visibility and control over active sessions. As an open-source developer tool available on GitHub, Vizhi fits seamlessly into terminal-centric AI development workflows.
Pros of Vizhi
- Monitors up to six live Codex CLI sessions simultaneously
- Integrates with Logitech MX Creative Keypad for tactile, one-press approvals
- Supports local Whisper voice prompts for easy command input
- Offers a local browser dashboard for users without a physical keypad
- Open-source developer tool available on GitHub
Cons of Vizhi
- Full physical experience requires a specific device (Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Designed specifically around Codex CLI workflows rather than general terminal tasks
