Implementation verdict
Replaces custom eval scaffolding with pre-tuned LLM-as-judge and rule-based templates. Requires adopting LangSmith workspace for centralized eval management. Worth trying now if you're already in LangSmith—templates work for both online (production monitoring) and offline (dataset experiments) evaluation.
