Maxim AI
Also known as: Maxim, getmaxim.ai
Platform to simulate, evaluate and observe AI agents across the lifecycle, with offline and online evaluations, multi-turn simulation, tracing, human review and a no-code agent builder.
Maxim AI is an end-to-end platform for simulating, evaluating and observing AI agents and applications, built for engineers working through SDKs and for product and QA teams working in the interface. Its Playground++ organizes, versions and deploys prompts and compares output quality, cost and latency across combinations of prompts, models and parameters, and a no-code agent builder connects prompts, API calls and loops into agents that deploy without code changes.
Evaluation runs offline against datasets for prompts, no-code agents and HTTP-endpoint agents, with an evaluator store of off-the-shelf evaluators and custom AI, programmatic, statistical and human evaluators, multi-turn simulations, run reports that compare versions, scheduled test runs and CI/CD integration through GitHub Actions.
In production, Maxim traces sessions, traces and spans, ingests OpenTelemetry, evaluates live logs online, sends alerts to Slack and PagerDuty, brings human annotators into review and curates datasets from production data. Teams manage organization and workspace roles and SAML single sign-on with Okta or Google, and the platform can be self-hosted with full VPC isolation or a hybrid data plane.
Maxim's website now leads with Bifrost, its separately sold AI gateway, and no longer publishes plans for this platform; the Maxim documentation still offers sign-up and a demo.

Deployment options
Integrations
SDKs in Python, TypeScript, Java, and Go, plus a CLI, REST APIs, and webhooks, with HTTP endpoints to test agents without changing source. OpenTelemetry native for ingesting and forwarding traces to tools like New Relic and Snowflake, and direct integrations with LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, LiveKit, LiteLLM, Anthropic, and Bedrock.
In practice
You need to know how your support agent handles angry, confused, and off topic users before launch. Maxim generates synthetic personas, simulates thousands of multi turn conversations, and surfaces failure points you can re run and fix.
A prompt change might quietly regress quality. You wire Maxim into CI so every change runs offline evaluations against your datasets and blocks the merge if task success drops.
Your agent is live and you need to catch cost and quality drift. Maxim's Sessions trace every multi turn run, and threshold alerts hit Slack the moment latency or a quality score crosses your limit.

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Full |
|---|---|
|
No code agents call third party services through API nodes at any point in a chain and deploy without code changes, and the documentation walks through an agent that categorizes support emails, creates help desk tickets and sends replies. Prompts can use tool calls and connected MCP servers in the playground, and alerts go to Slack and PagerDuty.

|
| Workflow Orchestration | Partial |
|
In the no code agent builder, blocks connect in a visual editor, including API nodes that call third party services and loops that repeat steps; errors show at every node, and agents deploy without code changes for querying through the SDK. Deterministic API steps can sit alongside prompt steps. Branching, retries and fallback paths inside a workflow are not described.

|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Not documented |
|
Retrieval quality gets tested rather than supplied: the customer connects its own RAG pipeline to prompt tests, and test runs evaluate retrieval. No document ingestion, index, retrieval layer or knowledge API that grounds an agent in company data is documented. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (prompt retrieval testing, evaluate retrieval quality)read 2026-09-21 |
|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Partial |
|
Human raters review test runs and production logs through human annotation, alongside automated evaluators, and datasets are curated from those annotations. That is review of the agent's outputs; no approval step, runtime guardrail or pause and resume control over an agent's actions is documented. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (human annotation, human annotation on logs, curate datasets)read 2026-09-21 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Full |
|
Access control runs through organization and workspace roles for team members, workspace level RBAC, and SAML 2.0 single sign on with Okta and Google Workspace, each with its own setup guide, plus two factor authentication and a vault for secrets. Maxim Enterprise adds audit logs, and the platform can be self hosted. A trust center is linked at trust.getmaxim.ai, and no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or other attestation is named on Maxim's public pages. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (members and roles, workspace RBAC, SAML SSO, two factor authentication, vault, audit logs)read 2026-10-01 |
|
| Observability & Auditability | Full |
|
Production traffic is logged into repositories with distributed tracing of sessions, traces and spans. The platform also ingests OpenTelemetry traces over OTLP, tracks live issues, runs automated quality checks on production logs, and exports logs with their evaluation data to CSV with filters.

|
| Memory & State Persistence | Not documented |
|
Logs, sessions, datasets and versioned prompts persist as records of the customer's application. No session, workflow or long term memory that an agent reads and writes is documented. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txtread 2026-09-21 |
|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
Deployment is either a managed service or self hosted, with full VPC isolation (Zero Touch) or a hybrid setup that places the data plane in the customer's own cloud. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (self-hosting overview, data plane deployment)read 2026-09-21 |
|
| Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs | Not documented |
|
What ships ready made is evaluation material: an evaluator store of off the shelf evaluators, test presets, and guides that walk through building agents such as a customer support email agent. No ready made agents, templates or packaged workflows a buyer adopts for their own work are documented. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (evaluator store, presets, guides)read 2026-09-21 |
|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |
|
Online evaluations score production logs automatically, test runs go out on a schedule and from CI/CD pipelines, and alerts on performance and quality thresholds go to Slack and PagerDuty. Work starts on a schedule, an incoming log or a threshold without a person asking. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (online evals, scheduled runs, alerts and notifications, Slack and PagerDuty integrations)read 2026-09-21 |
|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Full |
|
Teams set up their own model providers before running prompts, agents and evaluators, and the playground compares output quality, cost and latency across combinations of prompts, models and parameters, with custom token pricing for accurate cost reporting. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (running your first eval, custom pricing) and overviewread 2026-09-21 |
|
| APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
Maxim publishes Python and TypeScript SDKs and public REST APIs with an OpenAPI description covering prompts, prompt tools, evaluators, workflows, datasets, alerts and integrations. Evaluations run in CI/CD through GitHub Actions, and MCP servers connect to prompts in the playground. SourceMaxim, getmaxim.ai/docs llms.txt (SDKs, public APIs, CI/CD, MCP)read 2026-09-21 |

Recent platform changes
Version 2.2.5 of Bifrost, Maxim's open source AI gateway, fixes an authentication bypass that could reach protected endpoints without credentials, and new installs now need a setup token before first setup. Tool allow lists for MCP auto execution are now also enforced at the moment of the call, so indirect calls can no longer get around them.
Bears on: Human approval / guardrails

Plans not published · sign-up and demo via the docs
Not published; the platform's plans no longer appear on getmaxim.ai/pricing, and its documentation offers sign-up and a demo
Included quota
Developer free: 10,000 logs/mo, 3 day retention. Professional $29/seat/mo: 100,000 logs/mo, 7 day retention, online evaluations. Business $49/seat/mo. Enterprise custom: in VPC, governance, longer retention.
What is public
Per seat tier pricing (Developer free, Professional $29, Business $49) with log and retention caps is public; Enterprise is custom.
Billing mechanics
Per seat monthly subscriptions with log volume and retention caps that rise by tier. Online evaluation is gated to Professional and above. Enterprise adds in VPC deployment and governance under custom pricing.
Cost watchouts
With no published plans, the cost of the evaluation platform cannot be read in advance; Maxim's pricing page now covers only its separately sold gateway.
Variable cost rationale
No billing unit or rate is published for the platform, so exposure cannot be read from the vendor's pages.
Additional watchouts
Watch per seat costs at team scale and the log caps and retention windows (10k/3 days on Developer, 100k/7 days on Professional). Online evaluations and longer retention require higher tiers.
Overage / add-ons
Log volume and retention windows are capped per tier (10k/3 days on Developer, 100k/7 days on Professional), so exceeding them pushes you to a higher tier. Online evaluations require Professional or above. Per overage rates are not itemized.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)
Free / trial
Sign-up and a demo are offered through the Maxim documentation; whether sign-up includes a free plan or trial is not stated
Lowest paid plan
Not published
Commercial notes
Maxim's site now leads with Bifrost, its separately sold AI gateway; the Maxim evaluation, simulation and observability platform remains documented and offered through sign-up and a demo, with its plans no longer published.
Key ambiguities
getmaxim.ai/pricing now prices only Bifrost, Maxim's separately sold gateway; the per-seat Developer, Professional and Business plans once published for the evaluation platform are gone, while the platform's documentation remains live with sign-up and a demo.
Cancellation / refund
Developer, Professional, and Business are self serve subscriptions with standard cancellation. Enterprise terms are contractual.
Support SLA / resale
Standard support on lower tiers; hands on evaluation support and enterprise SLAs available, with the company offering to help teams build foundational eval and observability systems.
Missing data
Per log overage rates, Business tier feature deltas, and Enterprise dollar pricing are not fully itemized publicly.
