Setup

In your project directory, run the setup script:
curl -fsSL https://braintrust.dev/wizard/setup.sh | sh
It uses your installed coding agent to install the Braintrust SDK, inspect your project, and configure tracing. No coding agent installed? Install and instrument manually.

Verify tracing

Run your app and make an AI call. A trace will show up in your Braintrust Logs, usually within seconds.
If traces appear in Braintrust, you’ve successfully set up the SDK.
If your traces don’t appear in Braintrust, see Troubleshooting.

Next steps

  • Instrument — trace LLM calls and application logic
  • Observe — search and analyze production traces
  • Annotate — label traces and build datasets
  • Evaluate — measure quality and catch regressions
  • Deploy — ship to production with the AI gateway
