What sucked

Zapier's LLM-powered spec-generation system automatically produced OpenAPI specifications from API documentation, but its performance was opaque.

The team could not measure accuracy, quantify the impact of pipeline changes, or identify where to prioritize improvements.

Technology & SoftwareProduct & Engineering
What they built

Fractional AI built a comprehensive LLM evaluation framework for Zapier's spec-generation system, with seven distinct metrics measuring correctness and hallucination rates across endpoint paths and field properties. Running on Braintrust against curated, manually reviewed test data, it enabled iterative experimentation to tune prompts, context passing, and model selection across the four-step pipeline.

What changed
Endpoint hallucinations 26% to <1%

Hallucinated endpoint paths dropped from 26% to less than 1%.

Field type accuracy ~2x

Field type accuracy improved nearly 2x on the FieldTyper scorer metric.

~25% cost reduction per run

Prompt caching cut cost by roughly 25% (about $6) per run.
