That's the area of technology we've really tried to solve.
Um we are really trying to create a platform where you can orchestrate a process of arbitrary complexity, not simply have agency in the AI, but also have guardrails as well.
Um broadly speaking, most software systems for the past two decades have been rules engine.
That execute really quickly, whether the rules are implemented as source code or perhaps in a low-code platform.
And now we're moving to a world of goals and guardrails.
And so people, businesses now have the opportunity to express a business process not simply as a set of rules and a decision tree, but saying, what are you trying to achieve?
Where do you want the AI to have agency?
i.e., where do you want it to have creativity, and where do you not want it to have creativity?
And it's a remarkably interesting technical problem.
It's also a remarkably interesting, I would say, social and business problem.
A lot of companies will start out saying,
I want to control precisely what the AI does, which is a fine goal.
And actually our platform does support it.
But if you do that, it can be fairly robotic.
And you're actually removing a lot of the magic that people feel when they engage with things like Chat GPT, which is fundamentally the creativity and agency innate in some of these models.
On the other hand, if you turn that knob up to, you know, this is Spinal Tap 11 on agency.
You know, you could get hallucinations, uh, it could violate your policies, or more subtly, it could just not be a great brand ambassador, you know, for what your brand does.
So I would just say that I I think there's a really deeper thing that we're trying to build, which is how do you program against non-deterministic creative software?
What are the abstractions that we need to build to express goals and guardrails so that you don't
Remove the creativity and the agency that I think make these experiences delightful.
