Helicone integration for LLM insights

We've teamed up with Helicone to track metrics for LLM applications. Helicone is an open source solution platform for logging, monitoring, and debugging LLMs.

Combining your Langfuse and PostHog data makes it easy to answer questions like:

  • What are my LLM costs by customer, model, and in total?
  • Which users are consuming the most tokens?
  • How do LLM features affect retention rates?

To get started, view our docs on how to add the Helicone PostHog integration.

Goals

Increase awareness of PostHog within our ICP and ensure PostHog is a brand that sparks conversation and joy.
