How Numan built an eval-first AI health coach with LangGraph and LangSmith

The essentials, the implications, and the sources behind the story.

01 / The short version

What happened

Numan, a UK digital health company, built Nu, an AI health coach for weight, hormones, and sexual health using LangGraph and LangSmith. Nu uses a supervisor model to route users to domain-specialist sub-agents. The company moved from static single-turn fixtures to per-category LLM judge scoring and simulated multi-turn conversations with AI patient personas to evaluate safety and coaching quality. Safety guard nodes review responses against clinical rules before delivery. Nu is positioned as a wellness product rather than a medical device under MHRA guidance. Simulated conversation results do not gate releases until clinician-signed rubrics are approved. Numan reports that provider migration took one day using their themed datasets.
