      AgentLens is a setup preview and recommendation tool. It is not a diagnostic, benchmark, guarantee, certification, or pass/fail test. Use it to decide the best first path, then verify exact setup details during installation.

      SAGE9AI’s launch thesis: get customers running on their own AI agent as quickly as possible, then offer shortcuts to advanced setups, configurations, workflows, and capabilities that beginners would otherwise spend significant time researching and building alone.
