It's like handing someone the best camera and calling them a photographer.
We would never do that.
So handing someone this amazingly powerful technology and all of a sudden saying they are an AI expert or that this system is going to go, you know, automatically overnight change how we do business, I think is absolutely incorrect.
Rachel, thank you for having me.
It's great to be here.
So when you think about 30 years plus of software development, you know, we like to talk about it as being very deterministic, meaning you built software automations, process automation.
Some may have heard of RPA, robotic process automation bots.
You basically told them what to do and they went and repeated that.
There was some, there's been artificial intelligence and machine learning for a very long time.
but generally the same inputs got the same outputs.
Now what we're able to do with agents, you know, everything's called an agent nowadays, is give it a task, give it an output, give it a goal, and it will use the tools and information at its disposal to go and get something done.
And that's really the fundamental shift.
There's obviously a lot of nuance under all that, but that's the basic shift.
Well, you've got kind of three layers.
You've got the chip manufacturers, the NVIDIAs, the AMDs of the world.
You've got the model companies that we know, Anthropic, OpenAI, and a bunch of open source models.
And then you have the application layer.
Some of those, like NVIDIA, are playing in both spaces, but...
You know, really where software automation, the models themselves have generally for many, I would say like 95% of what my employees at Tungsten do every single day, the model really doesn't matter.
Now, if you're coding and you're doing heavy duty coding and you have lots of agents running in loops, fixing code, the model matters.
