## AI overview

Datadog Live Debugger helps developers investigate production bugs without changing, restarting, or redeploying application code. It captures runtime details through logpoints, including variable values, method arguments, execution context, and request paths. Bits AI can analyze linked source code, place non-breaking logpoints, interpret collected data, and suggest fixes grounded in production behavior.
