Agent improvement

The applied science factory for improving AI agents

Pavo learns how your agent behaves across traces, tools, code, user feedback, and outcomes. It builds the benchmark, finds failures, and compares interventions before a controlled rollout.

Task outcomes improve

Pavo learns your current agent stack, reads production traces and task outcomes together to propose prompt, tool and routing changes, scores them on an eval suite built from your own traces, stages the survivors on real tasks, and writes the measured result back.
  • Increase experimentation velocity

    Explore prompts, tools, retrieval, routing, and models in parallel. Move stronger candidates to controlled tests faster.

  • Increase release confidence

    Evaluate candidates on production-derived cases and hard cohorts. Advance only after task and regression checks.

  • Force multiplier for your team

    Automate trace analysis, eval construction, and experiment preparation.

How it works

Connect your agent stack

Connect code, prompts, tools, traces, user feedback, outcome data, evals, and experiment history.

Build system understanding

Pavo reconstructs how your production system works. Your team verifies the system book.

Capabilities

Applied science judgement

Picking the right problem, the right approach, the right lever

  • Finds where the agent is failing - which task type, which step, which user intent
  • Knows whether to fix the prompt, the tools, the retrieval, the routing, or the model
  • Grounds it in your own past traces and fixes, not just what's in the repo

Scientific rigour

Explores widely, and ships only what's proven

  • Tries prompts, tool definitions, routing and fine-tunes at once instead of one change at a time
  • You see which candidates win on an eval set built from your own traces, before it reaches users
  • Checks hard cases and regressions, not just the headline score - no fix that breaks what worked

Knowledge compounds

Every iteration makes the next one cheaper

  • The work itself produces new knowledge - how users actually phrase things, which failures cluster, which fixes don't generalise
  • Written back to your system book, reviewed by your team, reused next time - it stays with you
  • Your team owns the learnings, so v2 to v3 to v4 gets faster, not just further

Use-cases

Illustrative marketplace-support traces grouped by task, intent, tool path, and outcome; a recurring refund failure becomes reviewed regression test version 12.

Our eval suite misses the failures users keep finding in production

Pavo groups traces by task, intent, tool path, and outcome, separates recurring failures from workflow noise, then turns reviewed hard cases into versioned regression tests.

Failure coverageCluster sizeReviewer agreementRegression recall
Illustrative finance-support agent mismatch: the conversation says a card was frozen, but the verified account state remains active because the freeze tool failed.

Our agent reports success even when the requested action never happened

Pavo grades the final state against the requested outcome, then uses traces to inspect tool calls, state changes, and partial completion across the full multi-turn trajectory.

Illustrative marketplace-agent evaluation matrix comparing prompt, tool, router, and model candidates across refund, cancellation, and address-change tasks before controlled rollout.

A prompt or model fix lifts one task type and breaks another

Pavo compares prompt, tool, retrieval, routing, and model candidates on one held-out benchmark, then checks regressions, latency, cost, and guardrails before a controlled rollout.
