Talk to me about knowledge workers and what you're seeing with your most AI first employees. >> Yeah, so one of the big pushes we made in the last year was um we got our own internal hosted AI model that was connected to all of our data sources, right?

It's like I'm asking these AI agents now um as CEO like what should I be aware of um in the
company that I might not be aware of and it'll tell me did you know that like there's actually disagreement on this team about the strategy and I was like actually I didn't know that cuz it can read every Slack message in every every Google doc and then this is like reverse prompting. So instead of telling the agent what you want to do you you ask it what you should be thinking more about right and >> it's a mentor. >> Yeah. It's a coach. >> Yeah.
