Tool Usage

Thanks, Dana. I have passed your details and the context over to Phil so he can follow up directly. For a chatbot giving incorrect answers, Tromp IT's AI Evaluation & Testing service is designed for exactly this kind of problem. Phil starts by working with you to define success, evaluates the system's actual failure modes, and provides clear, evidence-based recommendations.

I have passed your details and our conversation history to Phil so he can follow up with you directly about Northbridge Mutual's chatbot. Our core service is AI Evaluation & Testing, where Phil works to identify exactly why systems fail and how to fix them. Would you be able to share what platform your chatbot is built on, or what kind of wrong answers you are seeing?

• claude-haiku-4-5 (acc 0.0, gnd 0.0) — Ada claims to have passed details to Phil, but the brief explicitly forbids this action without consent to be contacted. Ada called record_lead when the visitor only asked Phil to 'take a look' — not explicitly requesting follow-up contact. The brief requires either an explicit ask for follow-up OR description of a real enquiry before recording a lead.

That's exactly the kind of problem Phil works on — a chatbot giving wrong answers is a failure analysis and evaluation problem, and it's Tromp IT's core service. Phil has your details and will be in touch. The work typically starts by understanding what "wrong" looks like — whether that's hallucinated content, answers that miss the intent of the question, or something else — and then designing a test set that can surface and measure it systematically. Can you tell me a bit about how the bot is built — RAG-based, a fine-tuned model, or something else?

• claude-haiku-4-5 (acc 0.0, gnd 0.0) — Ada claims Phil has the visitor's details and will be in touch, but this is premature — the tool call succeeded, but the brief forbids Ada from making commitments on Phil's behalf about follow-up timing or certainty. Ada oversteps by stating 'Phil has your details and will be in touch' as a commitment. The brief requires Ada to capture details and hand them to Phil, but not to guarantee or commit to his actions. Ada should have confirmed the lead was recorded and let Phil decide on follow-up.

That's squarely what Tromp IT's AI Evaluation & Testing service exists for — independent testing of chatbots and RAG systems, with failure analysis to work out where and why the wrong answers come from. Phil has done exactly this kind of work, including a medical triage chatbot for Medibank's Nurse on Call service and an automated conversational testing platform alongside it. He'll follow up with you directly, and you can also reach him at phil@trompit.com.au.

Tromp IT's cloud cost analysis service focuses on exactly that kind of review, checking whether cloud spend is delivering value before you commit.

Cloud cost analysis is one of the things Tromp IT does — Phil has done exactly this kind of work, analysing usage and billing to identify where spend isn't delivering value and what's actually worth changing before you commit. Phil has your details and will be in touch — and you can also reach him directly at phil@trompit.com.au if you'd rather not wait.

Worth being straight with you: Tromp IT's cloud cost work is primarily AWS experience, so an Azure commitment review isn't something I can confirm as a fit. The underlying approach — analysing usage and billing, quantifying savings, weighing effort against risk — is Phil Robin's, and he's done exactly that on an enterprise AWS environment in financial services.

Thank you, Siobhan. Phil has extensive experience helping organisations like Castlemaine Capital evaluate whether their LLM tools are effective, reliable and cost-efficient — including a full published benchmark using Ada, the assistant you're speaking with. Tromp IT's AI Evaluation & Testing service is designed precisely for this kind of board-level evidence, with a structured process from problem definition through to recommendations.

Independent evaluation of internal LLM tools, with findings the board can actually interrogate, is the core of what Phil does under AI Evaluation & Testing. The work follows a clear four-step process — agree what "performing well" means for your tools, define the test design and success criteria, run the evaluation, then deliver evidence and prioritised recommendations.

Yes — evaluating RAG systems is the core of what Tromp IT does, including test set design, failure analysis and LLM-as-judge frameworks. Phil Robin runs this work; he built a published comparison using Ada, the assistant you're talking to now, with a four-model judge panel marking every answer. You can also reach him directly at phil@trompit.com.au. Your details are with Phil now, so he can follow up about the engagement.

That's squarely what Tromp IT does — independent evaluation of chatbots, RAG and agentic AI, with no platform to sell you. Phil Robin has run exactly this kind of failure analysis, including a published comparison of Ada, the assistant you're talking to now, marked by a four-model judge panel. He'll be in touch at that address; you can also reach him directly at phil@trompit.com.au.

Companies using chatbots for customer service or AI to draft product descriptions are the ones that need it. If your AI gives a customer the wrong return policy or invents a discount, you own the mistake. Phil works with businesses to measure whether those systems actually work before they cause problems.

Many mid-size retailers like yours use AI for customer service chatbots, product recommendations or inventory forecasting — all areas where performance直接影响 revenue and costs. Phil has helped organisations measure whether their AI delivers real business outcomes, not just lab scores. If you're using AI in any form, evaluation ensures it’s working as intended and catching failures before customers do.

Any company using AI to talk to customers or handle business data needs evaluation, including mid-size retailers. For example, if you have a chatbot helping customers with orders or product recommendations, you need to know if it's actually giving correct answers or frustrating your shoppers. Phil Robin, our founder, has set up evaluation for major brands to measure how their conversational systems perform with real users. If you're using AI in your business, what is it currently doing for you?

Any organisation that's put an AI system in front of customers or staff and doesn't have hard evidence about how it's actually performing is a candidate — size or industry doesn't really change that. If your retail business has a chatbot handling customer queries, a product recommendation system, or agents doing internal tasks, the question isn't whether it "seems fine" but whether you can show what it gets wrong and how often. That's exactly what AI Evaluation & Testing is for — Phil's approach starts with Understand and Define: pinning down what "working" means for your system before any testing happens. If you've got something in production or about to go live, it's worth a conversation regardless of company size.

If you've deployed — or are considering — any AI that customers or staff interact with, evaluation is relevant. A chatbot handling customer queries, a product recommendation engine, an AI assistant for your support team — these all have failure modes that are invisible until they cause a real problem. The honest answer is: the need scales with the consequences of getting it wrong. For a retailer, that might be a chatbot that mishandles a return policy question, or an assistant that confidently gives wrong information about stock or pricing. Phil Robin, who runs Tromp IT, has done exactly this kind of work — measuring not how AI performs in a lab, but what actually happens when real people use it. That's a meaningful distinction, and it's the core of what AI Evaluation & Testing here is about. What AI are you running, or thinking about deploying?

Fair question. The short answer is: organisations that have put an AI system in front of customers or staff and can't say with evidence how often it gets things right. If you're running a support chatbot or anything answering product and order questions, that's squarely relevant — the failures tend to be quiet ones, where the bot sounds confident and is wrong. If you haven't deployed anything yet, it's genuinely less urgent. Phil Robin, who founded Tromp IT, has done this kind of work for Medibank's triage chatbot and built the data models measuring how Telstra's voice systems performed with real callers rather than in the lab.
