AI Evaluations Crash Course in 50 Minutes (2025) | Hamel Husain
Description
Today, I want to share a new episode with Hamel Husain.
Hamel has trained 2,000+ PMs and engineers from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google on how to run AI evals. In my new episode, he shares a free master class on how to build evals for a real AI agent in just 50 minutes using a simple spreadsheet. I learned a lot from Hamel and I think you will too.
Hamel and I talked about:
(00:00 ) What the most valuable part of evals is
(01:25 ) Live walkthrough: Analyzing 100 real production traces
(09:50 ) Creating the eval criteria using a simple spreadsheet
(24:44 ) Why binary pass/fail ratings beat 1-5 scores every time
(28:52 ) The agreement metric trap that fools most PMs
(30:08 ) True positive and negative rates explained
(36:00 ) How to set up continuous evals in production
