Debugging

The Debugging feature in the indigo.ai platform gives you full visibility into how a message is generated, making it easier than ever to investigate issues, understand your flows, and optimize your assistant’s performance.

Whether you're troubleshooting an error, checking variable behavior, or analyzing API calls, Debugging provides a complete and accessible toolkit right inside the platform.

What It Does

The Debugging system offers a step-by-step reconstruction of what happens behind the scenes in each conversation. You can inspect:

• The full logic path through agents and workflows

• The triggers, reroutes, and blocks involved

• Detailed views of variables, prompt blocks, and API calls

• All components that contributed to the generation of a single message.

Where to Access It

You can open the Debugging panel in two ways:

• From the Chat section: Under each assistant message, click on "Details"

• From the Preview chat widget: Debugging is integrated directly below each generated message

The Debugging View

Once opened, you'll see a vertical timeline of the conversational flow, broken down into distinct sections:

• Agents & Workflows Timeline: See how the flow moved across agents and workflows.

• Variables Panel: Track all variable values and how they changed.

• Prompt Blocks: Inspect the input, output, and model details.

• API Calls: Analyze every call made during the conversation.

Each of these sections is organized to surface only what’s relevant for debugging, so you can focus on what matters.

Key Debugging Elements

Agents & Workflows

At the top of the timeline, you’ll see how the flow moved between workflows and agents. You can follow every step, from the initial trigger to any reroute, invocation, or handoff, helping you understand the full conversation path.

Variables

Get a complete history of all variables involved in the flow:

• Listed in temporal order, showing when they were first used

• Displayed with their value history, showing every change

• Shows which block influenced each variable’s value

• For Prompt Blocks, it highlights if a variable was:

  • Used as input

  • Modified as output

Prompts

For every Prompt Block executed, you’ll see:

• Full prompt content, split into input and output

• Any interpolated variables with their values

• The model used for the generation

• Response time in milliseconds

This lets you understand exactly what the model saw and what it returned.

API Calls

Each API call is displayed with:

• Complete logs of headers and body

• Variable values used during the call

• Response time for the call execution

This is crucial when troubleshooting integrations with external systems.

Agent Blocks

Agent Blocks are treated like Prompt Blocks. You’ll see:

• The prompt input and output

• The model used for that agent

Since the Agent block operates like a Prompt Block, this section focuses on understanding how your AI Agent responded and what it based its answer on.

Problem Solving Made Easy

Debugging is designed to help you troubleshoot autonomously. Whether you're fixing a broken workflow or fine-tuning performance, you can:

• Trace exactly where and why something went wrong

• Pinpoint issues with variable logic, prompts, or API responses

• Monitor execution speed for performance optimization.
