Literal AI Platform Overview

Literal AI is a collaborative observability, evaluation and analytics platform for building production-grade LLM apps. Literal AI offers multimodal logging, including vision, audio, and video.

Literal AI can be leveraged as a data persistence solution, allowing you to quickly enable data storage and analysis for your Chainlit app without setting up your own infrastructure.

Literal AI has a data retention policy available here.
