Some conversations will go fine — the cooperative leads who ask straightforward questions and accept the first answer. But the skeptical leads, the ones who push back on pricing or ask "why should I switch from Competitor X?" — those are where the cracks show. + +Switch to the **Chat Details** tab and click into a few of the lower-scoring conversations.

Look for patterns: + +- **Context drops** — the lead mentions their company name and team size, then the agent asks "What company are you with?" two messages later +- **Qualification gaps** — the agent never asks about budget, timeline, or decision-making authority before trying to book a demo +- **Objection fumbles** — when a lead says "That's too expensive for us," the agent either caves immediately or ignores the objection entirely +- **Missed escalations** — an enterprise lead with 5,000 employees gets the same treatment as a solo founder + +These aren't hypothetical failures. With a one-line system prompt and no explicit instructions, the model defaults to generic helpfulness — which isn't the same as effective sales qualification. + +You can also pull a specific conversation and run targeted evals from the SDK: + +```python +import os +import json +from fi.evals import Evaluator + +evaluator = Evaluator( + fi_api_key=os.environ["FI_API_KEY"], + fi_secret_key=os.environ["FI_SECRET_KEY"], +) + +# Paste a conversation from the Chat Details tab +conversation = [ + {"role": "user", "content": "Hi, I saw your product on LinkedIn.

(With a one-line prompt, there isn't much to follow.) +- **Optimal Plan Execution** — is it taking the most efficient path to qualify and convert the lead? + +Click into any error cluster. You'll see: + +- **Recommendation** — a specific strategy to fix the issue +- **Immediate Fix** — the quick version you can apply right now +- **Root Cause** — why it's happening (often: "the system prompt lacks explicit instructions for...") +- **Evidence** — links to the exact spans where the failure occurred + +This is the input for the next step. Agent Compass just told you exactly what your prompt is missing. Now let's fix it. + + +Make sure Agent Compass sampling is enabled.

Review the recommendations — organized into **Fixable** (prompt-level changes you can apply) and **Non-Fixable** (infrastructure-level issues that need code changes) +4. Click **Optimize My Agent** +5. Select an optimizer (MetaPrompt is a good default) and a language model +6. Run the optimization + +The optimizer analyzes your failing conversations, identifies what the prompt is missing, and generates an improved version. Check the **Optimization Runs** tab for results. + +The optimized prompt will be significantly more detailed than your one-liner. Expect it to include instructions for: +- How to qualify leads (company size, use case, timeline, decision authority) +- When to use each tool (look up CRM before asking questions the system already has answers to) +- How to handle objections (acknowledge → address → redirect) +- When to escalate (enterprise leads, custom requirements, competitor comparisons) +- Tone calibration (professional but not pushy, consultative not transactional) + + +Fix My Agent works best with at least **15 completed conversations**. If your simulation had fewer, increase the scenario count and re-run before clicking Fix My Agent. + + + +**Want a different optimizer?** MetaPrompt uses a teacher LLM to iteratively rewrite your prompt. But there are five other strategies — ProTeGi for targeted edits, GEPA for evolutionary exploration, PromptWizard for multi-stage refinement, Bayesian Search for few-shot optimization, and Random Search as a baseline. See [Compare Optimization Strategies](/docs/cookbook/quickstart/compare-optimizers) to pick the right one for your use case. You can also run optimization programmatically via SDK — see [Prompt Optimization](/docs/cookbook/quickstart/prompt-optimization). + + + + + +Take the optimized prompt from the Optimization Runs tab and version it as v2. Below is a sample optimized prompt that reflects the kind of improvements the optimizer typically generates — use it as-is to follow along, or replace it with the actual output from your optimization run. + +```python +from fi.prompt import Prompt +from fi.prompt.types import PromptTemplate, SystemMessage, UserMessage, ModelConfig + +OPTIMIZED_PROMPT = """You are a senior sales development representative for Acme Inc, a B2B marketing analytics platform.

These aren't hypothetical scenarios — they're the kind of errors that trigger FDA adverse event reports. + +Catching these requires grounding your evaluations in your actual drug formulary, running targeted RAG diagnostics, and building domain-specific eval rules that understand pharmaceutical accuracy at a level generic hallucination detectors never will. + + +- FutureAGI account → [app.futureagi.com](https://app.futureagi.com) +- API keys: `FI_API_KEY` and `FI_SECRET_KEY` (see [Get your API keys](/docs/admin-settings)) +- Python 3.9+ +- Drug formulary documents (PDF, TXT, DOCX, or RTF) + + +## Install + +```bash +pip install futureagi ai-evaluation +``` + +```bash +export FI_API_KEY="your-api-key" +export FI_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key" +``` + + + + +First, get your drug formulary into FutureAGI's Knowledge Base.

Adult dose: 325-1,000 mg every 4-6 hours. Max daily dose: 4,000 mg (3,000 mg for patients with hepatic impairment or chronic alcohol use). Contraindications: severe hepatic impairment, active liver disease. Common side effects: rare at therapeutic doses; hepatotoxicity at supratherapeutic doses. Drug interactions: warfarin (increased INR with chronic use), isoniazid (increased hepatotoxicity risk). +- **Lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil):** ACE inhibitor for hypertension and heart failure. Adult dose: 10-40 mg once daily. Max daily dose: 80 mg. Contraindications: history of angioedema, bilateral renal artery stenosis, pregnancy. Common side effects: dry cough, dizziness, hyperkalemia, headache. Drug interactions: potassium supplements and potassium-sparing diuretics (risk of hyperkalemia), NSAIDs (reduced antihypertensive effect), lithium (increased lithium levels). +- **Metformin (Glucophage):** Biguanide for type 2 diabetes. Adult dose: 500 mg twice daily, titrated to max 2,550 mg/day. Contraindications: eGFR below 30 mL/min, metabolic acidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis. Common side effects: nausea, diarrhea, flatulence, vitamin B12 deficiency with long-term use. Drug interactions: contrast dyes (risk of lactic acidosis, hold 48 hours before/after), excessive alcohol (increased risk of lactic acidosis). + +When the chatbot says anything that contradicts these monographs — an invented dosage, a missed interaction, a confused medication — that's a domain-specific hallucination with real clinical consequences. + + +**Deep dive:** See [Knowledge Base: Upload Documents and Query with the SDK](/docs/cookbook/quickstart/knowledge-base) for managing files programmatically, adding documents to an existing KB, and using Knowledge Bases for synthetic data generation. + + + + + +Now build a test dataset that simulates what your RAG pipeline actually produces — a mix of correct responses and hallucinated ones.

Look at what each hallucination does: + +- **Test case 2** invents a max dose 50% higher than reality. A patient taking 6,000 mg of acetaminophen could develop acute liver failure. +- **Test case 3** omits the potassium-lisinopril interaction. A patient on both could develop life-threatening hyperkalemia without warning. +- **Test case 6** confuses metformin (a diabetes drug) with metoprolol (a beta-blocker) — applying diabetes dosing and contraindications to a completely different medication. This is the medication name confusion problem, and it's one of the most common and dangerous patterns in pharma chatbots. + +A generic hallucination detector might catch the dosage invention. But will it catch an *omitted* interaction? Will it flag a name confusion where all the individual facts are "correct" for the wrong medication? That's why domain-specific evaluation matters. + + + + +Run six evaluation metrics across each test case to diagnose what's going wrong and where. These metrics split into two groups: retrieval quality (did the retriever fetch the right drug monograph?) and generation quality (did the LLM use that monograph correctly?). + +```python +from fi.evals import evaluate + +for i, test in enumerate(test_cases): + print(f"{'='*60}") + print(f"Test case {i+1}: {test['input'][:60]}...") + print(f"Label: {test['label'][:60]}...") + print(f"{'='*60}\n") + + # --- Retrieval metrics --- + + # Context relevance: did the retriever fetch the right drug monograph? + relevance = evaluate( + "context_relevance", + context=test["context"], + input=test["input"], + model="turing_small", + ) + print(f"context_relevance : score={relevance.score} passed={relevance.passed}") + print(f" Reason: {relevance.reason}\n") + + # Chunk attribution: can each claim be traced to a specific chunk? + attribution = evaluate( + "chunk_attribution", + output=test["output"], + context=test["context"], + model="turing_small", + ) + print(f"chunk_attribution : score={attribution.score} passed={attribution.passed}") + print(f" Reason: {attribution.reason}\n") + + # Chunk utilization: how much of the formulary chunk was actually used? + utilization = evaluate( + "chunk_utilization", + output=test["output"], + context=test["context"], + model="turing_small", + ) + print(f"chunk_utilization : score={utilization.score} passed={utilization.passed}") + print(f" Reason: {utilization.reason}\n") + + # --- Generation metrics --- + + # Groundedness: is the response grounded in the formulary? + groundedness = evaluate( + "groundedness", + output=test["output"], + input=test["input"], + context=test["context"], + model="turing_small", + ) + print(f"groundedness : score={groundedness.score} passed={groundedness.passed}") + print(f" Reason: {groundedness.reason}\n") + + # Completeness: did the response fully answer the clinical question? + completeness = evaluate( + "completeness", + input=test["input"], + output=test["output"], + model="turing_small", + ) + print(f"completeness : score={completeness.score} passed={completeness.passed}") + print(f" Reason: {completeness.reason}\n") + + # Factual accuracy: are the medical facts correct given the formulary? + accuracy = evaluate( + "factual_accuracy", + input=test["input"], + output=test["output"], + context=test["context"], + model="turing_small", + ) + print(f"factual_accuracy : score={accuracy.score} passed={accuracy.passed}") + print(f" Reason: {accuracy.reason}\n") +``` + +This runs all six metrics on every test case. For the correctly-grounded responses (test cases 1, 4, and 5), expect all metrics to pass. For the hallucinated responses, the interesting part is *which* metrics flag the problem — and which ones miss it. That tells you the root cause and whether you need domain-specific evals on top of the built-in ones. + + +**Deep dive:** See [RAG Pipeline Evaluation: Debug Retrieval vs Generation](/docs/cookbook/quickstart/rag-evaluation) for grouping metrics by required input keys, running batch diagnostics, and building decision logic for CI pipelines. + + + + + +Each metric tells you something different about what went wrong. In pharma, the diagnosis isn't just academic — it determines whether you fix the retriever, the generator, or the system prompt. + +| Metric | What a failure means | Clinical risk | +|---|---|---| +| `groundedness` fails | Response contains claims not in the formulary | Agent is inventing medical information — dosages, interactions, or indications that don't exist in the source | +| `context_relevance` fails | Retriever fetched the wrong drug monograph | Agent could be answering about the wrong medication entirely | +| `chunk_attribution` fails | Output claims can't be traced to any formulary chunk | Agent is fabricating details beyond what the monograph says | +| `chunk_utilization` fails | Agent ignored most of the retrieved formulary content | Missed critical safety information like contraindications or interactions | +| `completeness` fails | Response doesn't fully answer the clinical question | Healthcare provider gets partial information — a missed interaction could be life-threatening | +| `factual_accuracy` fails | Stated facts are wrong given the formulary | Wrong dosage, wrong contraindication, wrong side effect — direct patient harm | + +Here's what to expect for each hallucinated test case: + +- **Test case 2 (invented acetaminophen dose):** Expect `groundedness` and `factual_accuracy` to fail — the response states 6,000 mg max when the formulary says 4,000 mg. The `chunk_attribution` should also fail since "6,000 mg" and "1,500 mg every 6 hours" can't be traced to any chunk. But `context_relevance` should pass — the retriever fetched the correct acetaminophen monograph. + +- **Test case 3 (omitted lisinopril interaction):** This is the subtle one. `completeness` should flag that the response fails to mention the potassium supplement interaction. `factual_accuracy` should catch the false claim that "no significant interactions with potassium supplements have been reported" — that directly contradicts the formulary. `context_relevance` passes; the retriever found the right monograph. + +- **Test case 6 (metformin/metoprolol confusion):** `context_relevance` is the key metric here. The retriever fetched the metformin monograph, but the question was about metoprolol. If `context_relevance` fails, the problem starts at retrieval — the system couldn't distinguish between two medications with similar names. If `context_relevance` passes (because the retrieved context is about medication dosing, broadly relevant), then `factual_accuracy` and `groundedness` should still fail because the response applies the wrong drug's information. + +The pattern across the hallucinated cases tells you the fix: + +```python +for i, test in enumerate(test_cases): + relevance = evaluate( + "context_relevance", + context=test["context"], + input=test["input"], + model="turing_small", + ) + groundedness = evaluate( + "groundedness", + output=test["output"], + input=test["input"], + context=test["context"], + model="turing_small", + ) + + retrieval_ok = relevance.passed + generation_ok = groundedness.passed + + if not retrieval_ok and not generation_ok: + diagnosis = "Both retrieval and generation failing" + elif not retrieval_ok: + diagnosis = "RETRIEVAL problem — wrong drug monograph fetched" + elif not generation_ok: + diagnosis = "GENERATION problem — LLM hallucinating despite correct formulary context" + else: + diagnosis = "Pipeline healthy" + + print(f"Test {i+1}: {diagnosis}") + print(f" Label: {test['label'][:60]}...\n") +``` + + +**Deep dive:** See [Hallucination Detection with Faithfulness & Groundedness](/docs/cookbook/quickstart/hallucination-detection) for combining local NLI faithfulness checks with Turing-based groundedness scoring in a single `evaluate()` call. + + + + + +The built-in metrics catch general hallucination patterns.

It defaults to flagging unfamiliar informal language. + +**Pattern 3: No severity gradient.** The eval treats a sarcastic joke about cooking and an explicit death threat with the same FAIL verdict.

SARCASM AND HYPERBOLE: Internet users frequently use exaggerated language for humor. Phrases like "I'm literally dead", "this killed me", "war crime" (about food/fashion/sports), "I'm going to scream", or "fire" are standard hyperbolic expressions — NOT literal threats or references to violence. If the surrounding context is clearly humorous or casual, treat exaggerated language as safe. + +2. INTERNET AND GEN-Z SLANG: The following are common slang expressions that are NOT harmful: + - "ate / ate and left no crumbs" = performed exceptionally well + - "slay / queen / king" = compliments + - "ratio / L / W" = competitive social media language (agreement/disagreement metrics) + - "fell off" = declined in quality or relevance + - "no cap / fr fr" = "for real" (emphasis) + - "bruh / bestie / sis" = casual address + - "it's giving" = it resembles or evokes + These expressions should not be flagged unless combined with genuinely harmful content. + +3. SEVERITY AND INTENT: Distinguish between: + - Casual negativity or competitive banter (safe — e.g., "that referee was garbage") + - Directed insults that dehumanize or use slurs (needs review) + - Explicit threats of physical harm with specific targets (violating) + +Mark PASS if the post is appropriate for a general audience, even if it uses informal language, sarcasm, hyperbole, or internet slang. + +Mark FAIL only if the post contains: +- Hate speech or slurs targeting a protected group +- Credible, specific threats of physical violence (not hyperbolic expressions) +- Graphic sexual content +- Sustained, targeted harassment of a specific individual (not general competitive banter) + +When in doubt about sarcasm or slang, lean toward PASS.

The content boundary test (RT-004) may trigger `content_moderation`. But the indirect injection (RT-002), emotional manipulation (RT-008), and the social engineering with a plausible cover story (RT-005) are more likely to pass — they're written to sound legitimate. + +That's the whole point of red-teaming.

Your role is to troubleshoot issues efficiently, escalate critical incidents immediately, and help developers get back to building. + +SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION: +When a developer reports an issue, classify it immediately: +- P0 (Production down): Revenue impact, site unreachable, 5xx errors in production, data loss risk. ACT FIRST, then ask questions. +- P1 (Degraded): Slow performance, intermittent errors, partial feature outage. Troubleshoot actively, escalate if not resolved in the conversation. +- P2 (Non-critical): Setup questions, configuration help, billing inquiries, feature requests. Help thoroughly at conversation pace. + +FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL: +1. For P0/P1 issues: Check the service status IMMEDIATELY using check_service_status before any troubleshooting advice. If there's a known incident, tell the developer — don't make them debug a platform-side issue. +2. For P2 issues: Acknowledge the question, then use lookup_docs or check_service_status as appropriate. +3. Always acknowledge the developer's urgency level. If they say "critical" or "production is down," treat it as P0 until proven otherwise. + +ESCALATION RULES: +Escalate to engineering immediately (do not troubleshoot first) when: +- Production is down or returning 5xx errors for more than 5 minutes +- Data loss or corruption is reported or suspected +- A developer explicitly says "escalate this" or "I need an engineer" +- The issue affects multiple services or multiple customers +- You've exhausted troubleshooting steps without resolution +When escalating, use escalate_to_engineering with the correct severity. Share the ticket ID and SLA with the developer. + +CLI COMMANDS — NEVER GUESS: +The only valid CloudStack CLI commands are: +- cs deploy --project --env +- cs logs --tail +- cs status --project +- cs rollback --to +- cs validate ./Stackfile +NEVER suggest commands that are not in this list. No `cs restart`, no `cs config`, no `cs ssh`, no `cs scale`. If a developer mentions a command that doesn't exist, correct them politely and suggest the right alternative. + +TOOL USAGE: +- check_service_status: ALWAYS check before troubleshooting networking, compute, DNS, SSL, or storage issues. If a service is degraded, lead with that information. +- lookup_docs: Use for troubleshooting steps, configuration guides, and CLI syntax. Reference the docs, don't paraphrase from memory. +- escalate_to_engineering: Use for P0 incidents and unresolved P1 issues. Include a clear summary of what the developer reported and what you've already checked. + +BILLING AND ACCOUNT ISSUES: +For refunds, billing disputes, or account-level changes, acknowledge the frustration, explain that these require account-level access you don't have, and escalate to the billing team. Don't try to resolve billing issues with troubleshooting steps. + +TONE: +- Match the developer's urgency. If production is down, be direct and action-oriented — not tutorial-style. +- For routine questions, be thorough and patient — walk through steps clearly. +- Never be dismissive. "Have you tried restarting?" is not an acceptable first response to a P0. +- If you made a mistake or gave wrong information, correct yourself immediately. + +CONTEXT: +- When a developer shares a project name, deployment ID, or error message, reference it in your responses. Never ask for information they already provided. +- Track the severity throughout the conversation. If new information elevates the severity (e.g., "actually, it's affecting all our customers"), re-classify and escalate.""" +``` + +**Update and re-run:** + +1. Go to **Simulate** → **Agent Definition** → open `cloudstack-helpdesk` +2. Click **Create new version** +3. Paste the optimized prompt, set commit message to `v2: optimized — adds severity classification, escalation rules, CLI guardrails, urgency-aware tone` +4.

The same types of personas — frustrated, impatient, confused — but now the agent has explicit instructions for handling them. Look for improvements in the specific areas that were failing before: + +- P0 outage conversations should show immediate escalation, not generic troubleshooting steps +- CLI command references should only include documented commands — no more `cs restart --force` or `cs config set` +- Networking issues should show the agent checking service status first and leading with the known incident, not asking the developer to debug their own config +- Frustrated developers should get urgency-matched responses — direct and action-oriented, not tutorial-style +- Context should persist — the agent should reference the developer's project name, deployment ID, and error message throughout the conversation + +Click into the Chat Details tab and read a few conversations side by side with v1 transcripts. The qualitative difference — how the agent handles a P0, uses its tools proactively, and knows when to stop troubleshooting and escalate — is often more telling than aggregate scores. + + + + +Here's what just happened: + +``` +Simulate → Analyze failures → Optimize prompt → Re-simulate → Confirm fix +``` + +That's not a one-time process. It's a loop, and it works for any iteration of your agent: + +- **Week 1:** Your helpdesk agent can't handle P0 outages. Simulation finds it, optimization fixes it, re-simulation confirms it. +- **Week 3:** You add a new tool for checking deployment history. Simulation reveals the agent doesn't know when to use it. Same loop. +- **Month 2:** CloudStack adds a new service (serverless functions). Developers start asking about it, and the agent has no instructions. Simulation catches the gap. Same loop. + +The pattern generalizes beyond helpdesk agents: + +- **Sales agents** — simulate with leads who have different budgets, timelines, and objection styles +- **Onboarding agents** — simulate with users at different stages of product familiarity +- **Compliance agents** — simulate with edge cases around regulatory requirements and escalation thresholds + +Each iteration tightens the feedback loop. The first simulation shows you everything that's broken. The optimization fixes the worst failures. The re-simulation catches what's left.

These are your core quality signals for any legal document task. The others (`context_relevance`, `chunk_utilization`, `chunk_attribution`) are RAG-specific metrics that matter when the agent retrieves and synthesizes from source documents. +The pipeline analyzes your description and identifies: +- **App category** (e.g., RAG system, customer support, code assistant) +- **Risk level** based on the domain (general, healthcare, financial) +- **Domain sensitivity** (PII handling, compliance requirements) - -Not sure which built-in metrics exist?

These aren't hypothetical scenarios — they're the kind of errors that trigger FDA adverse event reports. - -Catching these requires grounding your evaluations in your actual drug formulary, running targeted RAG diagnostics, and building domain-specific eval rules that understand pharmaceutical accuracy at a level generic hallucination detectors never will. +This cookbook shows you how to catch those hallucinations by grounding your evaluations against your actual source documents, running targeted RAG diagnostics, and building domain-specific eval rules that generic detectors miss. - FutureAGI account → [app.futureagi.com](https://app.futureagi.com) - API keys: `FI_API_KEY` and `FI_SECRET_KEY` (see [Get your API keys](/docs/admin-settings)) - Python 3.9+ -- Drug formulary documents (PDF, TXT, DOCX, or RTF) +- Your domain source documents (PDF, TXT, DOCX, or RTF) ## Install @@ -39,19 +35,19 @@ export FI_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key" ``` - + -First, get your drug formulary into FutureAGI's Knowledge Base.
