And part of that is because of...
a host of antiquated processes and workflows.
And just in general, that system's not working.
I think we can all look at that and say, that's not a functional system.
And so can you use AI to, you know,
AI agents to automate some parts of that process, automatically get whatever approvals need to be gotten, get whatever information needs to be gotten, such that that 22 days becomes a day or two or something like that.
That, I think, is like a no-brainer, just pure win for government efficiency overall.
Another one that
Other ones that are big are permitting processes.
So if I want to build a new data center somewhere, or even I just want to remodel my home, the permitting processes, depending where you are, could literally take years for all of that to go down.
And part of that is there's so many different approvals that need to happen.
There's all these different workflows and things that need to happen.
What if instead we just codified what are the rules of the system and had an AI agent just automatically go through that permitting process so that
you could get that permit or get the permit denied within like a day, right?
So, and just that times a million, like one of the things from Doge that they found, right, is that, you know, the retirements are stored in the mine, Iron Mountain mine, a literal like
iron mine, or like the paper copies of the retirements for all the federal employees.
Like, can we just take that, which is two generations behind in terms of tech, like it's like literally pen and paper, and then use AI to go from two generations behind to two generations forward?
Like, can we just automate as much of those processes as possible?
So I see it as just like, you know,
All over the place.
