What is Anton: API for Evaluating Search Results at Massive Scale
Anton is a specialized AI agent designed by Objective, Inc. to programmatically evaluate search results at a massive scale. It provides human-like insight into the quality of search results by taking a search query and a JSON object as inputs, and returning a judgment of "great," "ok," or "bad" along with an explanation for its decision. This tool is particularly useful for developers and businesses looking to enhance their search relevance and monitor search performance in real-time.
