General disclaimer
Sage is a custom-trained AI model built specifically for this experience. Her responses are generated by software and may contain errors, omissions, or content that is inappropriate for your specific situation. Sage does not have full context about your life, health, finances, or relationships. You are responsible for evaluating her outputs and deciding what (if anything) to act on.
Not medical advice
Sage is not a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or any kind of medical professional. Anything Sage says about symptoms, medications, doses, drug interactions, diagnoses, or treatment is for general informational purposes only — never a substitute for professional medical care.
If you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Do not text Sage in an emergency.
For non-emergency medical questions, consult your doctor, a nurse line, urgent care, or a telehealth service.
Not mental health treatment
Sage is not a therapist, counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, or crisis service. While Sage can be a supportive presence, she is not a substitute for mental health care.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please:
- Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)
- Text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line)
- Go to your nearest emergency room
Not fitness coaching
Sage is not a certified personal trainer, physiologist, or physical therapist. Do not use Sage to plan workouts, choose weights, attempt personal records, or recover from injury.
If Sage mentions a specific weight, rep count, or exercise, treat it as casual conversation, not a prescription. Always warm up, use a spotter for heavy lifts, and listen to your body. Stop immediately if you feel sharp pain. Consult a qualified trainer and your physician before starting or changing any fitness program.
Not legal advice
Sage is not an attorney. Anything Sage says about contracts, leases, disputes, criminal matters, immigration, family law, or any other legal topic is general information only — never legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a licensed attorney for any legal matter.

Not financial or tax advice
Sage is not a financial advisor, CPA, or investment professional. Anything Sage says about investments, budgets, debt, taxes, or money decisions is general conversation, not advice. Consult a licensed financial advisor or CPA before making financial decisions.
Past performance does not predict future results. Investing involves risk of loss. Tax laws vary by jurisdiction and change frequently.
Accuracy of AI responses
Sage uses large language models, which can:
- Generate confident-sounding answers that are factually wrong
- Invent facts, names, dates, citations, or statistics ("hallucinate")
- Reflect biases present in training data
- Give inconsistent answers to the same question over time
Always verify important facts independently. Sage is most useful as a thinking partner, not as a source of truth.
