Galileo Alternative

The Galileo alternative
that doesn't need a sales call

Galileo is great for enterprise hallucination detection in NLP pipelines. For AI engineers who need deterministic PR gates without a procurement cycle, Refine AI is self-serve and ships in 5 minutes.

Why teams choose Refine AI over Galileo

Galileo solves a real problem for enterprise NLP teams. These are the gaps when the problem is agent CI enforcement.

Hallucination detection ≠ agent regression detection

Galileo excels at detecting hallucinations in single LLM calls. Agent regressions are structural — your agent suddenly takes 4× more steps, calls a deprecated tool, or enters a retry loop. These aren't hallucinations; they're behavioral changes that hallucination scores won't surface.

LLM judges have a confidence problem

Galileo uses an LLM judge to score outputs. A 92% reliability score is useful for analytics but not for a CI gate — where do you set the threshold? Refine AI returns PASS or FAIL. No ambiguity, no threshold calibration, no judge drift to worry about.

Enterprise procurement for a developer workflow

Getting started with Galileo requires a sales demo and enterprise pricing negotiation. For an AI engineer who wants to add behavioral regression testing to a GitHub Actions workflow this afternoon, the sales cycle is a hard blocker. Refine AI is self-serve: install the Action, define thresholds, done.

How Refine AI is different

Structural, not probabilistic

step_count either exceeded the threshold or it didn't. No confidence scores, no ambiguous grades.

Self-serve in minutes

No demo, no sales call, no enterprise onboarding. Free to start and self-configuring via YAML.

CI-native design

Built around the GitHub PR workflow. The output is a check status, not a dashboard.

Agent-native failure surface

Catches step explosions, tool call regressions, loop risk — failure modes agents actually have.

Who each tool is built for

Use Galileo if…

  • You're in a regulated enterprise focused on hallucination reduction
  • You need a compliance story around LLM reliability scoring
  • You have budget and timeline for enterprise procurement

Use Refine AI if…

  • You want fast, self-serve CI enforcement without a sales cycle
  • You're focused on structural agent behavior, not hallucination scoring
  • You need deterministic PASS/FAIL gates, not confidence percentages

Get started in 5 minutes

No sales call. Just add the GitHub Action.

.github/workflows/agent-regression.yml
- name: Assert agent behavior
  uses: agentdbg/agentdbg-action@v1
  with:
    baseline: main
    checks: step_count,tool_calls,loop_risk,cost,latency

PASS or FAIL. No ambiguity.

Deterministic CI gates for agents. No enterprise procurement, no confidence scores — just automatic PR enforcement.
