Case Closed: Using Rasa Inspector to Debug your Agents

Case Closed: Using Rasa Inspector to Debug your Agents

Case Closed: Using Rasa Inspector to Debug your Agents

Ever pull up a trace, stare at a wall of spans, and just paste the whole thing into an LLM and ask "what happened here?" Feel seen, you’re not alone. Traces are built for machines, not humans, which means every time something goes wrong, you’re stuck reverse-engineering your own agent’s decisions.

Rasa Inspector skips that step entirely. Instead of raw trace data you have to decode (or outsource to another model just to make sense of), Inspector shows you the actual decision path live: which part of your agent activated, what memory items were filled, what’s sitting on the stack, all human-readable, all in real time as you chat.

No trace IDs. No copy-pasting into a chatbot to translate your own system back to you. Just the decisioning, laid out clearly.

Is there anything like "sovereign open source"?, Vittorio Bertola, #FOSSASIA Summit 2026

Can open source and digital sovereignty truly coexist? In this FOSSASIA Summit 2026 session, Vittorio Bertola explores the growing debate around sovereign open source and its role in reducing dependence on major technology providers while preserving the core values of openness and collaboration.

Discover what digital sovereignty means in practice, why governments increasingly rely on open-source software, and whether new requirements for development, governance, and distribution can strengthen resilience without compromising the open-source model. A thought-provoking discussion on the future of technology, policy, and global collaboration.
