Okay. It's still going to be quite hard just because the bar is very high to get something to switch from something that just out of all the normal app features are pretty exhaustive and work pretty well. That said, that side of things has also just gotten easier to do as well. But yeah, I am feeling this with Radiant because yeah, categorizing financial transactions was very, very difficult.

like prior to AI. And now it can do like a really good job. Even like a shitty thing I implemented, I like was able to go through my stuff with like, and I've done this for years, right? Like I manage all my business transactions. I've gone through every single one of them for years and years. And just having AI do a first pass and then me doing a second pass, it's much better.

And this is just the beginning of all this stuff. But we still have to build like the entirety of a straightforward app. And you have to do that while the incumbent fails to do the new thing, which I think will happen. It's just, you know, not as easy as it seems.

That's a good example of something that works because those table stakes scope is really small. And they benefit from this new dynamic of not having to do 100 integrations with every single, like we support Zoom, we support Google Meet, we support whatever.

Yeah, so let's say you're like, I mean, let's say we're not actually doing this, but for Radiant, there's 5,000 financial accounts that we need to support for all the various places people have their data. We could just send AI to go like,

visit the site for you and like figure out how to pull out your information instead of like mainly doing integration with which is each thing because i can operate at like a like one level down like it doesn't need an api a developer needs an api like an ai agent like in theory doesn't need one so you can kind of like give it a general set of instructions that'll work on any raw input so anywhere where you like needed all these like nice clean integrations that you can probably make do with

The other side of this, though, is if you look at a lot of these products like granola, like there was the other one that I forgot the name of it. It records everything. It takes a good screenshot every three seconds and then like has AI index it. And you can ask it like, hey, what was that thing I read the other day about whatever?
