Evaluator

The Evaluator block uses AI to score and assess content quality based on metrics you define. Perfect for quality control, A/B testing, and ensuring your AI outputs meet specific standards.

What You Can Evaluate

AI-Generated Content: Score chatbot responses, generated articles, or marketing copy User Input: Evaluate customer feedback, survey responses, or form submissions
Content Quality: Assess clarity, accuracy, relevance, and tone Performance Metrics: Track improvements over time with consistent scoring A/B Testing: Compare different approaches with objective metrics

Configuration Options

Evaluation Metrics

Define custom metrics to evaluate content against. Each metric includes:

• Name: A short identifier for the metric
• Description: A detailed explanation of what the metric measures
• Range: The numeric range for scoring (e.g., 1-5, 0-10)

Example metrics:

Accuracy (1-5): How factually accurate is the content?
Clarity (1-5): How clear and understandable is the content?
Relevance (1-5): How relevant is the content to the original query?

Content

The content to be evaluated. This can be:

• Directly provided in the block configuration
• Connected from another block's output (typically an Agent block)
• Dynamically generated during workflow execution

Model Selection

Choose an AI model to perform the evaluation:

OpenAI: GPT-4o, o1, o3, o4-mini, gpt-4.1 Anthropic: Claude 3.7 Sonnet Google: Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.0 Flash Other Providers: Groq, Cerebras, xAI, DeepSeek Local Models: Any model running on Ollama

Recommendation: Use models with strong reasoning capabilities like GPT-4o or Claude 3.7 Sonnet for more accurate evaluations.

API Key

Your API key for the selected LLM provider. This is securely stored and used for authentication.

How It Works

1. The Evaluator block takes the provided content and your custom metrics
2. It generates a specialized prompt that instructs the LLM to evaluate the content
3. The prompt includes clear guidelines on how to score each metric
4. The LLM evaluates the content and returns numeric scores for each metric
5. The Evaluator block formats these scores as structured output for use in your workflow

Inputs and Outputs

Inputs

• Content: The text or structured data to evaluate
• Metrics: Custom evaluation criteria with scoring ranges
• Model Settings: LLM provider and parameters

Outputs

• Content: A summary of the evaluation
• Model: The model used for evaluation
• Tokens: Usage statistics
• Metric Scores: Numeric scores for each defined metric

Example Usage

Here's an example of how an Evaluator block might be configured for assessing customer service responses:

# Example Evaluator Configuration
metrics:
  - name: Empathy
    description: How well does the response acknowledge and address the customer's emotional state?
    range:
      min: 1
      max: 5
  - name: Solution
    description: How effectively does the response solve the customer's problem?
    range:
      min: 1
      max: 5
  - name: Clarity
    description: How clear and easy to understand is the response?
    range:
      min: 1
      max: 5

model: Anthropic/claude-3-opus

Best Practices

• Use specific metric descriptions: Clearly define what each metric measures to get more accurate evaluations
• Choose appropriate ranges: Select scoring ranges that provide enough granularity without being overly complex
• Connect with Agent blocks: Use Evaluator blocks to assess Agent block outputs and create feedback loops
• Use consistent metrics: For comparative analysis, maintain consistent metrics across similar evaluations
• Combine multiple metrics: Use several metrics to get a comprehensive evaluation
