Chalk Evaluations
Close the improvement loop between development and production.
Teams running production AI on Chalk
Know your agents are getting better.
Replay your agent on real production decisions, with the data exactly as it was. Score every run, compare versions side by side, and keep scoring after you ship.
Evaluate agents against real-world scenarios
Replay agent decisions with the exact data, context, and tools available at decision time. Build evaluations that reflect how your agents actually operate.
Run reliable, repeatable evaluations
Version datasets, tools, and evaluators to ensure consistent results across experiments. Compare runs, benchmark performance, and measure whether changes actually improve your agents.
Optimize and continuously improve agent performance
Trace every execution, inspect tool calls, queries, latency, and outputs. Identify failure points, understand agent behavior, and turn evaluation results into actionable improvements.
Build, test, and improve, all in one loop.
Collect representative inputs for the task, from your production historical datasets.
Datasets docsChoose the criteria that determine success, such as answer quality, customer satisfaction, tool-call correctness, or cost.
Scorers docsGive the evaluation a name, connect the dataset, task function, and scorers, then run the task across the dataset.
Running evaluations docsReview aggregate scores, examples, and traces. Spot failures, extra tool calls, high costs, and regressions.
Reading results docsTurn new production failures into eval cases and more specific scorers. Use for fine-tuning.
Scheduling docs
import chalkcompute
# Upload production history as a new dataset revision
revision = chalkcompute.DatasetClient().upload(
"support-triage", ["jan.parquet", "feb.parquet"]
)
# Or point at the latest revision of an existing dataset
dataset = chalkcompute.DatasetRevisionRef(
dataset_name="support-triage"
)Evaluate agents with the context they actually had.
Evaluate on production data. Turn real production decisions into reproducible evaluation cases.
Replay the entire trajectory. Apply one consistent time cutoff across every query and tool call.
Catch hindsight bias. Automatically flag answers that rely on evidence that wasn't available at decision time.
Every score opens into the reason behind it.
Compare experiments. Track scores, cost, latency, and tool usage across runs.
Benchmark against baselines. Measure improvements and regressions, including cost and performance.
Inspect individual results. Open any evaluation case to see the agent's output, scores, errors, and execution trace.
Keep scoring and improving after you ship.
Schedule with a cron string. Each window becomes its own dataset and evaluation.
Reuse suitable scoring logic as reward functions for post-training.
Run model-training jobs against those rewards.
Evals run on the same platform as your agent.
- ContextMonitorsWatch metrics and logs continuously and open incidents on thresholds.
- RuntimeModel GatewayOne OpenAI-compatible router for OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini, with budgets and fallback.
- RuntimeMCP GatewayGovern the MCP servers your agents call and hold replays to one cutoff.
- RuntimeScheduled functionsRun any function on a cron or a fixed interval.
- RuntimeSandboxesRun untested agents, and the code they write, in isolated gVisor containers.
- RuntimeTracingFollow nested calls in one trace and add spans where it matters.
- LearningSuitesGroup evaluations by release gate, team or agent.
- LearningQuick evaluationStart from a prompt, SQL expression or deployed function. No code needed.
- LearningNotebooksExplore results in SQL and Python next to the features behind them.
The first product we ever deployed with Chalk paid for our team, probably more, in net revenue.

Know which agent change is safe to ship.
We'll help you set up an evaluation that gives you the confidence to deploy your agent to production.
