What Is Output Generation?
Output generation is when Sageloop calls your chosen AI model (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) to generate responses for each of your scenarios. How It Works:- You add scenarios to your project
- You click “Generate Outputs”
- Sageloop calls your AI model once per scenario
- Results appear in a table for easy comparison
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Project Created: You’ve already created a project with a system prompt
- Scenarios Added: You’ve added 10+ scenarios
Running Generation
- Navigate to your project
- Click “Generate Outputs”
- Select your model (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Claude, etc.)
- Click “Generate”
- Wait for results (usually 30-60 seconds for 20 scenarios)
- Progress indicator
- Table of generated responses
- Status for each scenario
Understanding Generation
Temperature & Consistency
Generation quality depends on your system prompt clarity:- Low temperature settings (0.0-0.5): Consistent, predictable responses
- Higher temperature (0.7+): More diverse, creative variations
Use temperature 0.3-0.5 for evaluating support bots, content generation, etc. Use higher temperature (0.7+) if you want to test diverse variations.
Selective Regeneration
After your first generation, you can regenerate specific scenarios:- Select scenarios you want to regenerate
- Click “Regenerate Selected”
- Only selected scenarios are regenerated (saves time)
- After updating your system prompt
- When you want to retry failed scenarios
- When you want different variations of same scenario
Understanding Your Outputs
Output Table View
The output table shows:- Scenario (on left)
- AI Response (in middle)
- Your Rating (on right, if already rated)
- Expand/collapse scenarios
- Copy outputs to clipboard
- Regenerate specific scenarios
- Add notes/feedback
Looking for Patterns
Before rating, scan for patterns: Example:- Scenario 1: “Where is my refund?” → “Refunds take 5-7 business days”
- Scenario 2: “Where is my refund?” → “Refunds arrive soon”
- Scenario 3: “When will I get my refund?” → “Refunds are processed shortly”
Troubleshooting Generation
Problem: Generation Fails
Possible Causes:- API rate limit exceeded
- Model not available
- Network connectivity issue
- Wait a few minutes and retry
- Try a different model
- Check your connection
Problem: Outputs Are Too Similar
Cause: Model configuration too rigid Fix: Regenerate with different settings or refine system promptProblem: Outputs Are Inconsistent
Cause: System prompt lacks specificity Fix: Add more detailed instructions to your system prompt, then regenerateProblem: Outputs Are Too Short/Long
Solution: Update system prompt with output length guidanceSystem Prompt Best Practices
