## How to Prepare Your Golden Q\&A for Evaluating Your AI Agent

This document explains how to prepare your Golden Q\&A for use with Gooey.AI’s bulk evaluator. Follow each step to ensure your AI Agent can be tested and improved effectively.

### 1. Gather Typical User Questions

* Identify 10 to 20 common questions users might ask your AI Agent.
* These should cover important topics and key use cases.

### 2. Write Expert Answers

* Write the most accurate answer for each question you would want your AI Agent to give.
* Subject matter experts or your product team should write answers.

### 3. Add Citations

* For every answer, include a citation.
* The citation is a link or reference to the source material (webpage, PDF, document, knowledge base).
* If citing a PDF or document, include the page number or section.

### 4. Use Google Sheets for Organization

* Create a Google Sheet with the following columns:
  * Question
  * Answer
  * Citation (URL, document link, or specific page/section)
* If you are evaluating audio (user voice notes), add an “Audio” column. Place the Google Drive link to the audio recording for that question.

### 5. Example Google Sheet Format

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.gooey.ai/ai-for-impact/module-8/how-to-prepare-your-golden-q-and-a.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
