## Decision facts: judgeval

- **Adopt for:** Judgeval is a Python tool that aids in the continuous improvement of AI agents through comprehensive environment data and evaluations, supporting methodologies like reinforcement learning and prompt engineering.

## Choose when

### Choose judgeval if…

- License: judgeval is Apache-2.0, Agent-Reach is MIT.
- Tags unique to judgeval: agent, agentic-ai, agents, grpo.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- You are working on an AI project where continuous monitoring and enhancement of your agent's performance are critical.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- License: Agent-Reach is MIT, judgeval is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-agent, ai-search, automation.
- Also covers Developer Tools, LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use judgeval

- If you are looking for a tool focused solely on the theoretical aspects of AI development without practical, continuous improvement methodologies.
- You require a solution that only supports evaluation metrics and does not offer integrated environment data support, diverging from Judgeval’s comprehensive approach.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
