AI learning answer
How do I evaluate AI agents?
Short answer from Learnetto's Best AI agent evaluation courses guide.
Short answer
Evaluate the full trajectory: tool calls, source use, intermediate decisions, final answer, and stopping behavior. Agent evals need traces and scenario datasets, not just final-response scoring.
Context from the full guide
Start with Evaluating AI Agents if you need a course, then use OpenAI agent evals, Hamel Husain, Phoenix, or Promptfoo to build practical traces, graders, regression tests, and red-team checks.
