# Ship Real Agents: Hands-On Evals for Agentic Applications

> A hands-on workshop on tracing an agent, diagnosing failures, building evaluations, and using experiments to verify improvements.

Laurie Voss demonstrates an end-to-end evaluation workflow using a financial analysis agent. The workshop starts with traces and failure analysis, then builds code evaluations, LLM-as-a-judge evaluations, and a custom rubric. It concludes with experiments for checking whether a prompt change improves results.

## What you'll learn

* Use traces to understand agent behavior before writing evaluations.
* Categorize failures by root cause.
* Build code-based, LLM-as-a-judge, and rubric-based evaluations.
* Use datasets and experiments to verify changes instead of relying on spot checks.
