But if you think about from the advent of Excel or Lotus one, two, three, up until now, if you think about that average user,

they have not really gained many more capabilities beyond those simple Excel features.

Excel has not changed that much.

It's in the cloud now, so there's a little bit better versioning.

A little prettier.

Yeah.

For sure, yeah.

Clippy came and went, but it's kind of the same, right?

It hasn't really evolved dramatically.

And I think what AI is doing now is for these people that are now able to go write Excel formulas or Excel junkies, now they can go build full production web applications on top of databases and APIs.

And that is so, so powerful.

Because I think I was watching this interview with Satya Nadella the other day, and I think Excel has around a billion users now.

Yeah.

It's not more than 10% of the world is using Excel, right?

So that's kind of who we think of as the sort of builders, if you will, of the future, is this people that...

for the last 10, 20 years have been empowered by Excel, but not much more, are now able to go build production applications on top of data.

I think that is going to unlock, to make Mabel's point, so much.

And I think if you're in a high agency individual that wants to have an impact, now, like never before, you can wield AI, wield Retool to have an incredible impact on your organization.

You'll probably get promoted four times in five years, like Charlotte did.

Your rock stars are going to be bigger rock stars.
