The system generates multi-turn synthetic conversations using historical transcripts and backend mocks, evaluates outcomes with an LLM-as-judge framework, and enables rapid iteration on prompts, context, and system design before production deployment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;i&gt;By Leela Kumili&lt;/i&gt;</description>
