Technical: Harvesting Trust: Methods for Validating Chatbots in
summary
A conversational CropWise AI agent ties foundation LLMs to three tool types—APIs, RAG retrieval, and a code-execution framework called repel—and an orchestration layer routes actions. A reproducible evaluation pipeline uses a custom controls database, repeated prompts to measure nondeterminism, and generates a trace file per run; component scores (API/RAG/repel and end-to-end) are published. Example: entity recall hits 50% while final selected-item accuracy can be 0% in a failed SQL-style query, guiding fixes.
