Evals for AI Agents: How to Get the Most Out of Every New Model

## A live session on evaluating AI agents, for Claude Startups members.

New models ship fast, and many teams that are shipping agents can't tell whether the latest one makes their product better. Agents call tools, pull in context and take several steps before a customer sees anything, and each step can fail in its own way.

We'll show how the startups we work with evaluate agents end to end and decide quickly whether a new model is worth switching to. You'll see real examples from Anthropic's work with teams building on Claude and leave with something you can use the same week.

## What you'll learn

  • Why single-turn evals miss most of what goes wrong in an agent, and what to measure instead
  • How to build your first eval set from real production failures
  • How to decide quickly whether a new model is worth adopting for your product
