Like it's just my ability to memorize and so on.
And this is what I want for people.
How do you automate that?
So a very good question about the current capability, you don't.

I still think it's a useful product, and lots of people will build it.
But I still feel like the bar is so high, and the capability is not there.
But I mean, even today, I would say ChachiBT is an extremely valuable educational product.
But I think for me, it was so fascinating to see how high the bar is.
And when I was with her, I almost felt like, there's no way I can build this.
