Rippletide introduces Agent Evaluation, a runtime-first framework that evaluates your agent before it answers, not after. It detects hallucinations, checks factual grounding and gives your team deterministic signals you can trust in production.
Build decisions on a hypergraph database.
Keep language in the LLM, move planning,
policies and outcomes to a system you can
test, trace and ship.

In short:
Micro evaluation: is this answer grounded, repeatable, and using tools correctly?
Macro evaluation: is the agent converging toward your policies and business outcomes?
Runtime: we intervene before the agent replies.
This pillar starts with the most urgent micro capability: Hallucination Evaluation for agents.

Why?
Rippletide’s first module is focused on a single recurring problem in every agent stack: hallucinations.
But not the LLM kind,the agent kind, the ones compounding in each of the multi-step process:
Invented facts
Invented functions / APIs
Wrong policies
Wrong regulatory statements
False claims about your products or documentation.
