Agentic AI Evaluation: Complete Learning Guide

A comprehensive, hands-on guide to evaluating agentic AI systems from fundamentals to production-grade evaluation frameworks.

🎯 What You’ll Learn

This repository teaches you everything about evaluating agentic AI systems:

• Agentic AI fundamentals (what makes an AI agent, agent architectures)
• Evaluation frameworks (how to test agents systematically)
• Metrics and benchmarks (measuring agent performance)
• Tool use evaluation (testing agent tool usage)
• Safety and reliability (ensuring agents are safe)
• Multi-agent systems (evaluating agent interactions)
• Real-world testing (production evaluation strategies)
• Automated evaluation (building evaluation pipelines)
