Why RapidFire
Stop shipping your best guess.
Most teams test a handful of agent versions, one after another, and ship whichever looked best. RapidFire tests hundreds at once on the hardware you already have, and puts your compute behind the ones that work.
When your agent has to understand your data.
An agent that only calls a model is simple to tune. Once it has to retrieve from your documents, every choice about how that data is prepared and found changes the answers you get.
These tools aren't trivial to configure, and few teams have a specialist for each one. Testing the combinations side by side is how you find what works for your data.
Other tools measure versions. RapidFire runs the experiment.
