## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## LLM Response Evaluator & A/B Tester

Evaluate LLM outputs with comprehensive quality metrics and A/B testing capabilities. Free alternative to Confident AI ($99/mo).

### Features

- **Multi-Metric Evaluation**: Quality, relevance, coherence, toxicity, bias, factuality, creativity, conciseness
- **A/B Testing**: Compare model variants with statistical significance testing
- **Response Comparison**: Side-by-side evaluation of multiple responses
- **Custom Thresholds**: Set quality gates and pass/fail criteria
- **Detailed Reports**: Track evaluation trends and model performance over time

### Operations

#### evaluate
Evaluate a single LLM response across multiple quality metrics.

#### compare
Compare multiple responses side-by-side and rank by performance.

#### abTest
Run A/B tests with statistical significance testing to choose the best model.

#### generateReport
Generate comprehensive evaluation reports with trends and insights.

### Target Use Cases

- **Quality Assurance**: Ensure LLM outputs meet quality standards
- **Model Selection**: Compare different models and choose the best performer
- **A/B Testing**: Test prompt variations and model configurations
- **Bias Detection**: Identify and mitigate bias in AI responses

### Pricing

- **Free forever** on Apify (pay only for platform usage)
- **Competes with**: Confident AI ($99/mo), Patronus AI ($149/mo)
- **Target MAU**: 900 users
