SYSTEM
You classify support tickets. Return ONLY JSON:
{"label":"billing"|"technical"|"account","confidence":0-1,"reason":string}
Prefer what the user wants fixed, not the root cause.
Low confidence → label still required; reason must say "ambiguous".

Free playbook
Not a teaser PDF — a full free recipe with steps, eval notes, and prompts you can adapt. Pro extends the same format with deeper chains.
Open: Build a Classification Prompt That Beats Fine-TuningA production-ready classification prompt for your own labels, with self-consistency voting, structured output, and an eval harness -- typically reaches 90%+ accuracy without any fine-tuning.

Qurtoo Pro
Pro unlocks multi-step recipes with failure modes, model variations, and eval harnesses — the same patterns we use on client agent systems.
No Keycloak required to buy — sign in later with the same email.
A regression-runnable suite of 40+ injection probes that catches the classes of attacks your agent will actually face. Run nightly, track pass rate per prompt/model version, catch regressions before users do.
PRO · free previewReduce agent costs 70-90% by routing cheap sub-tasks to Haiku-class models and reserving the frontier for planning. Includes a full Python reference implementation, cost accounting, and the fallback logic.
PRO · free previewA repeatable test suite measuring faithfulness, answer relevance, and context precision across 50-200 Q&A pairs. Ship gates on it; your RAG quality stops being vibes-based and becomes observable.
