Summary

Eye on AI episode #296 features Yeop Lee of Coxwave discussing how their Align product moves AI evaluation beyond simple accuracy. They explore measuring satisfaction, trust, and task completion across various communication channels. The conversation covers pairing AI judges with human review, identifying hidden failure patterns, and building an evaluation stack to guide AI development and deployment.

Explained simply

This episode explains how companies can better test their AI tools. Instead of just checking if the AI is 'correct,' they look at whether people are happy, trust the AI, and actually finish their tasks. This helps make AI more useful in everyday conversations and services.

Why listen

This episode offers product teams and AI developers insights into comprehensive AI evaluation. It details methods for measuring user satisfaction and trust, not just accuracy, which is crucial as frontier labs like Google Gemini and OpenAI refine their models for real-world applications. Understanding how to identify and fix adoption blockers through conversation analysis and experiment tracking helps ensure AI products are effective and user-friendly, a key challenge for all major AI players.

In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith is joined by Yeop Lee, Head of Product at Coxwave. Together they explore how teams move beyond accuracy-only metrics to outcome focused evaluation with Coxwave's Align. We look at how Align measures satisfaction, trust, and task completion across chat, email, and voice, how LLM as judge pairs with human review, and how product teams search conversations to find hidden failure patterns that block adoption.

Learn how leading companies design an evaluation stack that guides prompts, agents, and UX, which pitfalls to avoid when shipping updates, and which metrics matter most for success, including completion rate, CSAT, retention, and cost per resolution. You will also hear how to run experiment tracking with model and prompt change logs, set up governance that prevents regressions, and choose between SaaS and on premise deployments that meet security and compliance needs.
