Overview
Re_gent and PandaProbe Cloud serve different but complementary needs in the AI agent development ecosystem. Re_gent is a free, open-source version control system for AI agent actions, designed to track what your coding assistant changed, which prompt caused it, and let you roll back work across files and sessions. PandaProbe Cloud, on the other hand, is a fully managed platform for tracing, evaluating, and monitoring agents in production, with zero infrastructure to manage.
