When teams update NLU models for voice bots, even small edits can shift meaning, break workflows, or cause hidden regressions.
Cekura gives teams a fast and reliable way to review every NLU change, understand its impact, and approve or deny diffs with confidence: the platform evaluates each change against the full conversational behavior of your agent. It checks for semantic shifts, entity handling changes, confidence-threshold impacts, and downstream workflow risks.
This helps teams ship updates without accidentally weakening intent coverage or breaking core flows.
Accurate detection of meaningful changes
Cekura identifies when updates modify the functional meaning of intents, entities, sample utterances, pattern rules, and configuration settings. It distinguishes real behavioral changes from formatting or cosmetic edits. This lets reviewers focus on changes that actually affect runtime behavior.
Cekura also flags subtle errors, such as dropped training phrases, altered synonyms, or shifts in NLU confidence behavior. Cekura’s instruction following metric already pinpoints deviations from expected behavior, making semantic analysis even stronger.
Noise-tolerant diff quality
Cekura avoids false alarms from reordering or whitespace. At the same time it catches small semantic shifts that developers often miss. The platform’s LLM evaluation layer analyzes conversations at a detailed level, detecting deviations tied to context, expected outcomes, or workflow steps. Metrics like response consistency, relevancy, hallucination detection, and tool call success help surface behavior that changed unintentionally.
Impact analysis for NLU edits
When teams propose an NLU update, Cekura evaluates the full impact of that change.
It checks whether intent coverage has narrowed or shifted, whether entity extraction still behaves correctly, and whether confidence thresholds now create new confusion points. It also flags signs of drift that might appear only in edge cases or long-turn interactions.
Once this analysis is complete, teams can simulate full workflows or multi-stage conversational paths to confirm that every expected outcome still holds across real scenarios. This approach is the same one Confido Health relied on when validating complex, multi-node workflows and backend behaviors before approving updates.
Predicting downstream behavior
Cekura evaluates how NLU changes affect dialog flows, tool calls, and business logic. It simulates real conversations with varied personalities, accents, noise conditions, and scenario prompts.
This ensures updates do not break turn-taking, state transitions, or backend integrations. Confido Health used these capabilities to verify tool call correctness across many branches before approving updates.
Automated regression testing for every diff
Every update can be validated with full NLU regression suites, curated utterance sets, and realistic conversation scenarios. Cekura automatically generates scenarios from prompts, knowledge bases, or production data. Evaluators simulate user behavior and measure expected outcomes, interruption handling, latency, and voice quality.
Teams can re-run baselines on demand or automatically through CI pipelines or scheduled cron jobs.
Strengthened voice-specific validation
Cekura checks how ASR changes interact with NLU output. It evaluates pronunciation, voice clarity, talk ratio, and interruption patterns. Accent, non-native speaker, slang, and noisy-environment personalities help evaluate tone parity and robustness. These voice-aware diagnostics allow teams to approve diffs only when real spoken interactions remain stable and predictable .
Clear explanations and reviewer support
Instead of raw diffs, reviewers get human-readable explanations of what changed and why it matters. Each metric provides timestamps and context. Deviations from expected flows are explained in detail. Cekura also provides visual comparisons, charts, and side-by-side results when testing multiple versions, prompts, or models in one batch .
##Risk grading and safe governance
Cekura helps classify each change as low, medium, or high risk. It distinguishes structural intent changes from benign edits.
Teams can enforce policies like minimum training phrase counts or higher scrutiny for high-impact intents. Access controls and detailed audit trails capture who approved each change, what was changed, and why. This supports safe deployment practices for production voice agents.
Integrated into developer workflows
Cekura fits cleanly into GitHub, GitLab, or API-based CI pipelines. Teams can require that all NLU diffs pass automated checks before merging. Slack and email alerts surface failures, drift, or performance drops. Baseline suites allow version-to-version comparisons, catching regressions early.
Scales to large, multi-locale NLU systems
Cekura’s evaluation engine is built for high throughput. It processes large NLU models and multi-locale test sets without slowing down pipelines. Its performance metrics include latency percentiles and infrastructure detection, making it suitable for enterprise-scale NLU updates and voice flows with heavy load testing requirements.
Trusted by enterprises with full HIPAA and SOC2 compliance
Cekura meets HIPAA and SOC2 requirements, supported by secure deployment options such as in-VPC setups, role-based access controls, custom SSO, and private-cloud environments.
