The premise
AI can scaffold an AI OpenLLMetry setup that instruments LLM calls, vector operations, and tool invocations as OpenTelemetry spans.
What AI does well here
- Generate initialization code, span attributes, and sampling rules
- Produce a backend exporter config for a chosen observability vendor
What AI cannot do
- Decide retention windows that satisfy privacy and security
- Verify that span content does not leak across tenants
