Stop Wasting Hours on Manual Testing
Instantly analyze new hardware or software for performance and compatibility—no spreadsheets required.
Testing and researching new network products eats up your time with repetitive documentation, complex compatibility checks, and endless report writing. You’re constantly switching between tools and digging for performance data, only to repeat the same steps for every new product.
A Testing & Research Agent for Network Architects is an AI-powered agent that helps network architects evaluate new or modified hardware and software by automating performance analysis and interoperability reporting, enabling faster, data-driven decisions.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
Evaluating new or updated hardware and software means manually running benchmarks, compiling test results, and checking compatibility across a complex stack. Each product requires repetitive data gathering, documentation, and analysis. This tedious process slows down decision-making and increases the risk of overlooking critical issues.

AI Agent FAQ
The agent can evaluate products for which you provide access to relevant documentation, test data, or APIs. It cannot physically interact with hardware or run tests on products that require manual setup.
The agent only needs access to the specific data, logs, or documentation you choose to share for each task. It does not require full network access or persistent connections.
The agent's reports are as accurate as the data and configurations you provide. For best results, ensure you supply up-to-date network information and product documentation.
You can specify custom test parameters and procedures in your prompt. The agent follows your instructions and incorporates them into the generated reports.
Your data is processed only for the duration of the task and is not stored after completion. The agent does not retain or share your information with third parties.
