AI Evals for Engineers & PMs: Measure, Improve, and Ship Reliable AI

Learn on your schedule with this self-paced course featuring pre-recorded sessions. Enjoy lifetime access, so you can revisit and reinforce your learning whenever needed.

AI products are fundamentally different from traditional software. They are probabilistic, non-deterministic, and constantly evolving as models, prompts, and data change. Because of this, traditional testing methods like unit tests and QA checklists are no longer enough.

Teams building AI systems—whether chatbots, RAG systems, copilots, or autonomous agents—often struggle with a critical question: How do we know if our AI system is actually improving or silently getting worse?

This course teaches engineers and product managers how to design modern AI evaluation systems that measure quality, detect regressions, and guide product decisions. You will learn how to evaluate LLM outputs, score AI behavior using structured rubrics, automate evaluation pipelines, and operationalize evals in CI/CD workflows.

By the end of the course, you will understand how leading AI teams ship reliable AI products using evaluation frameworks that combine datasets, metrics, automated scoring, human feedback, and monitoring dashboards.

What you’ll learn

Build production-ready AI evaluation systems to measure LLM quality, detect regressions, and ship reliable AI products.

  • Identify what to evaluate in LLMs, RAG systems, and AI agents

  • Define measurable success criteria for AI behavior

  • Convert vague goals into evaluation signals

  • Design representative evaluation datasets

  • Capture edge cases and failure scenarios

  • Create benchmarks that reflect real user behavior

  • Use metrics like correctness, relevance, faithfulness, and safety

  • Build scoring rubrics for human and automated evaluation

  • Align AI metrics with product goals

  • Build automated evaluation pipelines

  • Compare models, prompts, and system versions

  • Detect regressions across releases

  • Score retrieval quality and groundedness

  • Evaluate tool usage and agent planning

  • Measure multi-step reasoning performance

  • Add evaluation gates to CI/CD pipelines

  • Build dashboards for AI quality monitoring

  • Use eval data to guide product decisions
