If you ask the equivalent incumbents today and you say, hey, Benioff or Bill McDermott, how much are you going to do AI?
These companies are all being completely pivoted to being AI-first platforms.
So the good news for an existing large enterprise who is using one of these vendors is
your vendors are 100% motivated to becoming as AI-centric as possible and ensuring that behind the scenes, they're making their data models, you know, improved.
They're making their architectures improved to be able to support AI agents.
And just in the past, just to give you an example, just in the past month and a half,
or two months, we've announced agent interoperability with Salesforce, with ServiceNow, with Google.
We just announced something with Microsoft.

Every platform is going to be an agent-first kind of software platform.
So that's existing software.

These are categories of software where it's kind of quasi-professional services.
It's a new sort of category of digital experiences where you say, now I want software...
to translate my marketing asset into 20 languages.
Or I want software to obviously, you know, be an AI agent for developing code.
These are going to come from new companies, by and large.
