Build Reliable LLM-Powered Apps with Evaluation-Driven Development

10 emails. Practical strategies. Zero fluff.
​

Many teams building Large Language Model (LLM) apps get stuck in "Proof-of-Concept Purgatory." They build flashy demos with tools like ChatGPT, OpenAI API, or LlamaIndex—but these quickly gather dust as the systems hallucinate, become inconsistent, or fail to scale.

​

There’s a better way: Evaluation-Driven Development (EDD).

​

Turn your LLM demo into a system that scales, debugs, and improves over time.—using proven software engineering workflows adapted for modern AI.

​

LLM-powered apps aren’t like traditional software. They’re non-deterministic, data-sensitive, and constantly evolving. Building them requires a new approach—one grounded in testing, monitoring, and iteration from day one.
​

In this free, concise 10-email course, you’ll learn how to:
​

  • Escape the demo trap and get to production
  • Structure your LLM development lifecycle
  • Log, monitor, and observe your system effectively
  • Evaluate changes with clear, repeatable frameworks
  • Test and improve your app in production
  • Decide when (and when not) to use agents
  • Build long-lasting, adaptable LLM systems

​

Delivered clearly and practically—one email at a time.

Proven with Real Teams

This Evaluation-Driven Development framework has been battle-tested with teams at Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Ford, TikTok, Adobe, and the US Air Force—helping them escape endless iteration and launch production-grade LLM systems.
