 A key feature is **Chain of Thought observability**: Chainlit visualizes intermediate AI steps (retrieval, reasoning, tool calls) in the UI, giving users transparency into how the AI reached its answer. This builds trust and aids debugging. A key feature is **Chain of Thought observability**: Chainlit visualizes intermediate AI steps (retrieval, reasoning, tool calls) in the UI, giving users transparency into how the AI reached its answer.
