Evaluation Builder

Build custom LLM judges for production-grade AI assistants

Bring your AI agent, prompts, and examples — we build the evaluator around them.

First evaluator free · No card required

Watch a calibrated evaluator get built from real traces.

Your AI assistant worked in the demo. Production is where you find out whether every update makes it better or worse.

In the demo

  • Hand-picked examples pass
  • Manual spot checks
  • Quality “feels right”
Quality over time → stable

In production

  • Prompt updates change behavior
  • Models drift, RAG breaks
  • Edge cases multiply silently
Quality over time → declining

Quality rubrics · Edge cases · Golden datasets · LLM-as-a-judge workflows

Every production failure gets a matching evaluator

01

When you change the system

  • Prompt updates change behavior
    Behavioral rubrics scored per prompt change
  • Model upgrades affect reasoning
    Custom LLM judge calibrated to your reasoning bar
  • RAG changes break grounding
    Grounding tests for every retrieval change
02

When it runs in production

  • Tool calls fail in unexpected ways
    Tool-use evaluators verifying args and outcomes
  • Context compression removes important details
    Completeness checks against the full source
  • Edge cases multiply as usage grows
    Regression dataset that grows with each new failure

Bring your agent, prompts, and examples — Argmin AI turns them into a structured evaluation layer.

  • 400-item edge-case stress test
  • Clinical safety maintained at 97.6%
  • 87% cost reduction after quality was measurable

How it works

A calibration flow for teams that do not have a clean golden dataset yet.

Inputs

Bring task, docs, traces, and hypotheses

Start with the AI task, domain docs, selected traces, and a few hypotheses about what good looks like. No golden dataset is required upfront.

Argmin AI picks cases and analyzes evaluator mistakes
Cases

Argmin AI picks cases and analyzes evaluator mistakes

The platform finds normal, edge, and high-risk examples and surfaces where the evaluator disagrees with experts, so review time is spent on cases that actually move agreement.

Review

Experts review, confirm or correct calls

Experts review and correct evaluator calls Argmin AI drafts first — never from a blank page.

Experts review, confirm or correct calls
Corrections improve the evaluator and become the eval set
Calibrate

Corrections improve the evaluator and become the eval set

Every correction sharpens the evaluator and updates the calibrated eval set, quality rubric, score anchors, and calibration history.

Run

Test every AI change

Use the evaluator on prompt edits, model switches, RAG updates, routing changes, and agent releases.

Test every AI change

Move from “the demo looks good” to “we know it works”

Argmin AI helps you build the evaluation layer that turns your AI assistant into a measurable, testable, production-ready system.

Key benefits & features

Quality definition

Quality definition

Translate vague “is this good?” into specific dimensions: correctness, grounding, completeness, tone, format, domain rules.

Edge cases & failure modes

Edge cases & failure modes

Find ambiguous requests, conflicting documents, multi-step reasoning traps, and high-risk scenarios — then cover them with test cases.

Custom LLM judge

Custom LLM judge

Tailored to your assistant, domain, and quality bar. Output is not just a score — it explains what passed, what failed, and why.

Regression testing

Regression testing

Test every meaningful change before release: prompts, models, RAG, context compression, tools, agent workflows, guardrails.

Quality definition / Edge cases / Custom judge / Regression tests

From your raw materials to a runnable evaluation system

01

Quality definition

Translate product expectations into measurable evaluation criteria — not vague “is it good?” scoring.

02

Edge cases & failure modes

Map ambiguous requests, conflicting docs, multi-step traps, and high-risk scenarios. Then test for them.

03

Golden evaluation dataset

A reusable dataset built from real examples, synthetic edge cases, and regressions from past failures.

04

Custom LLM-as-a-judge

A judge calibrated to your assistant, domain, and quality bar. Explains what passed, what failed, and why.

05

Regression testing workflow

Test every prompt, model, RAG, tool, and agent change before release. Ship with evidence, not intuition.

FAQ

No. Existing labels help, but they are not a precondition. Argmin AI starts from your task, domain docs, selected traces, and expert corrections during calibration.
Usually selected traces, representative outputs, product constraints, and domain docs. You decide what is shared. We can work under NDA and with tighter infrastructure constraints when needed.
No. Synthetic cases can expand coverage, but the calibration anchor should come from your real traces and your experts' corrections.
No. The evaluator drafts calls first, Argmin AI picks the cases that matter, and experts confirm or correct. Labeling becomes review, not a blank-page grind.
A calibrated eval set, quality rubric, runnable evaluator, core regression cases, and calibration history your team can reuse across AI changes.
Yes. The evaluator creates the quality bar first. After that, Argmin AI can optimize prompts, models, routing, retrieval, and agent architecture without flying blind.
