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 for a beginner-friendly 2-hour-36-minute course with Python exercises. Add an official provider lab or LangSmith course when you need a specific implementation, then build a code-owned suite with calibrated graders, CI checks, and production traces.
