Wow.

That's really interesting.

And I guess that's a good place to segue into, you know, what does an AI-first team look like at Zoom Info?

And how much of it is new team members versus a shift in mindset for existing team?

That makes a lot of sense.

And that's kind of a thing I'm looking forward to as well is really spinning up some of the more annoying, repetitive things I do all the time.

Like, let's just make this easier and have it at my fingertips.

So has this changed then, this leads me to wonder, this has changed how you hire now, like as far as your hard and soft skills that you're really looking for in a new team member, how is that different than it was before?

Those are great call-outs.

You know, that curiosity, the ability to see that step-by-step, really programmatic view of problem-solving, I think, is very key.

On a kind of unrelated note to that, do you have any advice on...

Yeah.

Yeah, and I think that's exactly true.

And I guess next, how do you prove it?

What KPIs really show

that this new AI feature, this new AI pathway are delivering value for you?

You know, that makes sense.

It's a lot of callback to existing metrics.

And ideally, what you want to see is those start to go up on their own as you move into there.

So what in the AI space excites you for maybe 2026 moving forward?
