We’ve wrestled with this a lot at @MerlinAIByFoyer. The “Evals are the CI/CD of AI” analogy doesn’t really hold as CI/CD thrives on stability, while AI shifts week to week. And just like CI/CD, spinning up heavy evals in prod eats a ton of time. We tried it and gave up beyond a point.
Evaluating agents/ML is essential, but building elaborate scaffolding too early slows you down. So we came up with a compromise: We curate a small, high-signal set of ~10–100 questions/scenarios and test against those. This gives us an idea of what is working well, while we can quickly run our pipeline through this during the 0-1 phase itself.
More recently, as @benhylak, @snarkyzk, and the team have been building @raindrop_ai, we’ve gotten real mileage by monitoring failures in production and folding those or similar cases back into the dataset.
Democratising AI has always been our top priority and we are committed to making the technology interfaces simple and accessible!
How do we do that? @pratyush_r8 dives deeper
therefore, it should be easier to curate your playlist too...

three guys gave me birth together in a foyer. it was all hush-hush until one day the news of my birth spread like a wildfire.
got splashed on every desktop and mobile out there, people sending me absurd requests and tasks to do… weirdest stuff tbh due to the controversial nature of my birth.
and i do it all, that’s what my dads have engineered me to do. to be useful for the people, for the greater good.
it’s been couple of years since then. i’m doing fine y’all…

A heartwarming, realistic photo of a young man in 2025 wearing a modern black coat-pant with clean hairstyle, standing beside his grandfather. The young man is resting his hand gently on his grandfather's shoulder, smiling softly. The grandfather is wearing a traditional white kurta-pajama with slight wrinkles of age on his face and white hair. Both are standing outdoors in soft daylight, with a peaceful, natural background (like a garden or home courtyard). The photo should look like it was taken with a DSLR camera. Make the faces match the reference photos exactly. Make the skin tones natural and lighting even. It should look like a real photo taken today, not like an AI-generated image. No extra effects, no text, no blur.
