Ask HN: Is there value in a "generalized" visual tool for agent workflows?

We build AI agents in both low-code (LangFlow) and high-code environments. Low-code solutions have built-in visual interfaces, but our coded agent networks lack visual tooling for:

1. Inspecting complex workflows and decision trees

2. Debugging multi-agent interactions

3. Testing inputs at different pipeline stages

----------------

Existing workarounds (like exposing agents as tools in chat UIs) feel hacky and don't solve the core inspection problem. We need something that bridges coded flexibility with visual clarity.

- Do tools exist that can import coded agent networks (LangChain, CrewAI, etc.) and generate visual representations for inspection/debugging?

- Is there market demand for a general-purpose visual inspector that works across multiple agent frameworks?

----------------

Essentially looking for something that can parse existing agent code and create interactive visual workflows for better understanding and troubleshooting.

Has anyone seen or built solutions in this space?
