Why AI can't debug your API integrations (yet)
The next generation of debugging doesn’t depend exclusively on the quality of AI models, but it’s heavily dependent on feeding AI tools the context they need to be useful.

Multiplayer 2025: year in review
In 2025 we focused on a simple but ambitious goal: making debugging faster, less fragmented and less manual. Check out all our releases to make that possible.
Multiplayer vs LogRocket: which session replay tool actually fixes bugs?
LogRocket captures frontend behavior with optional sampled backend data through third-party integrations. Multiplayer captures complete, unsampled full-stack sessions (frontend and backend) out of the box, with no integrations required.
Multiplayer vs Mixpanel: which session replay tool actually fixes bugs?
Mixpanel shows you how users behave on your frontend, aggregating website performance metrics. Multiplayer shows how your system behaves, from user actions to backend traces, and how to fix a bug (or have your AI coding assistant do it for you).
Multiplayer vs PostHog: which session replay tool actually fixes bugs?
PostHog is a product analytics platform with frontend-only session replay. Multiplayer is purpose-built for debugging with full-stack session recordings, from user actions to backend traces, showing you how to fix a bug (or have your AI coding assistant do it for you).
Multiplayer vs Fullstory: which session replay tool actually gives you the full story?
Fullstory shows you how users behave on your website, aggregating performance metrics. Multiplayer shows how your system behaves, from user actions to backend traces, and how to fix a bug (or have your AI coding assistant do it for you).
Multiplayer sketches: annotating session recordings for better collaboration
Annotations are a way to draw, write, and comment directly on top of full-stack session recordings. Now, instead of sketching ideas in isolation, teams can mark up actual user sessions, highlighting specific UI elements, API calls, and backend traces that need attention.
Six best practices for backend design in distributed system
Most modern software systems are distributed systems, but designing a distributed system isn’t easy. Here are six best practices to get you started.
High user satisfaction scores aren’t worth a burned-out team
Multiplayer transforms the chaos of support tickets, eliminating manual work, sloppy hand-offs, and grepping through log files.
Full stack session recordings: end-to-end visibility in a single click
Multiplayer gives your team full stack session recordings so you have all the context you need to fix bugs, build features, and supercharge your AI tools. This is all the data you wish was easy to get from your APM tool and screen recorder - all in one place.
Collect what matters: how Multiplayer stays lightweight without losing context
Full stack session recordings capture everything that matters without impacting your application performance or adding unnecessary overhead.
From session replay to development plan: annotations in full stack session recordings
Add sketches, notes, and requirements directly to your full stack session recordings. Highlight interactions, API calls, or traces and turn them into actionable development plans or AI prompts.

Multiplayer MCP server: brings full stack session recordings into your IDE of choice
Multiplayer MCP Server streams full stack session data into your IDE. Give AI tools complete context for accurate fixes: frontend, backend, annotation.
Session Replay
Continuous session recording, reimagined
Record sessions in the background while you work: Multiplayer saves recordings the moment bugs or anomalies occur, making it effortless to capture elusive, hard-to-reproduce problems.
Session Replay
Don’t lose the trace that matters: Multiplayer’s zero-sampling approach
Multiplayer is the only session recorder that combines frontend replays with unsampled backend traces, stitched together automatically. You don’t have to choose between drowning in noise or missing the critical data.
News
Multiplayer launched on Product Hunt (but why?)
Product Hunt may be a rigged game, but we launched anyway. Discover why Multiplayer is betting on full stack session recordings, not orange arrows.
Session Replay
Four key practices to reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)
With the new Multiplayer browser extension, you can start capturing full stack session recordings instantly, right from your browser.
Session Replay
Automatically create test scripts from a full stack session recording
Turn a full stack session recording into a reproducible test script. It’s like getting a unit test written by the bug itself. Minus the guesswork, setup, and manual scripting.
