Introducing Agent Evals: test your agents like you test your code

Evals bring regression testing to AI agents. Write a test once, run it on every deploy, and catch quality drops before your users do.

Ava ThompsonCo-founder & CEO

Shipping an agent is easy. Knowing it still works after you change a prompt, swap a model or add a tool is much harder. Today we're launching Agent Evals to make that part boring.

Why evals matter

Agents fail in quiet ways. A response gets a little less accurate, a tool call gets skipped, latency creeps up. Without tests, you only find out when a customer complains.

  • Define test cases from real production traces in one click
  • Score outputs with rules, reference answers or an LLM judge
  • Block deploys automatically when scores drop

Your first eval in five lines

import { evals } from "@nova/sdk";

evals.define("triage-accuracy", {
  dataset: "support-tickets",
  scorer: "exact-match",
});
“Evals caught a regression in our triage agent before it ever reached production. It paid for itself on day one.”
— Maya Chen, Head of AI at Orbitly

Agent Evals is available today on the Pro and Enterprise plans. Open any agent and click Evals to get started.
