## Choose when

### Choose council-of-high-intelligence if…

- council-of-high-intelligence is primarily Shell; LeanCopilot is C++.
- Tags unique to council-of-high-intelligence: ai-agents, decision-making, deliberation, multi-agent-debate.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- When you need to leverage the collective insights of multiple large language models, each represented by distinct AI personas, to derive a comprehensive decision.

### Choose LeanCopilot if…

- LeanCopilot is primarily C++; council-of-high-intelligence is Shell.
- Tags unique to LeanCopilot: formal-mathematics, lean, lean4, llm.
