Yeah. Yes, internal users. And so what that looks like is that looks like, you know, Jim from accounting asks a natural language question. That's converted to SQL under the hood. It's run against this database. And the product, though, is the... reports, if those are the answers that Jim wants, he can then export it to CSV, export it to Google Sheets.

He can schedule that report to be sent to him and his team every week, rerun and sent. So the product is really all the reporting around the initial query.

Yeah, 100% agree. And the AI also, I wasn't even going to ship that. That was like, I added that... Cause I, it was almost gonna be like more of a marketing gimmick to be like, ooh, AI. And then people were so excited about it. And I was like, oh, right. Okay, people are so excited about this. So this should be part of the offering. But yeah, that's exactly what this is.

Is this went back to, I was like, you know what? Let's go back. Let's think about, you know, what I wanted to do. And I wanted to do little, take off little bites of this problem, right? Little bites at a time, put it in front of people, let the vision change as needed.

First of all, amazing. And amazing because... for whatever reason, and I think it's just the way that the speed at which we were working in terms of shipping product last year, there was a lot of thinking, right? It was like, we only have, we have to ship the right thing the first time. So we have to have figured all of this out, which is terrible. Right.

But, but I do think it's important to remember we got into that mindset because have you heard that thing? Like all advice is true. There's like a, I don't know, it's some famous article. It's kind of like all advice is true because it worked for the person giving you the advice. So you're always going to have people in the business building community who have both sides of this.

You have the people who ship frequently and iterate. Then you have the people who are like, oh, we spent two years building this thing by talking to our customers. And this thing is amazing and successful. And so I say all of that to kind of explain why we were in such like this. We're going to think the perfect product the first time.

And so going back to this whole one of the biggest reasons I think this particular product could fail will be because people won't connect their production databases. And you're like, well, you can just you can just find out. I was like, yes, I can literally just find out. Like it doesn't have to be, maybe they will, maybe they won't. Maybe this group will, maybe this group won't.

I can just ship the thing that I've built and then see if people hook up their production databases.

That's what I was thinking as you were saying that, like this just makes the feedback cycle faster because I can access people who are my target audience faster.
