AI agents is an interesting area.

We've talked about them a fair bit on the show before.

And the way my simple brain can kind of comprehend what they are is that it's like everyone's going to have their own AI personal assistant speaking to other people's and other businesses' personal assistants.

Oh, any good ones?

Sorry, sorry.

I imagine, Steve, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not the easiest time to be a futurist right now.

I mean, we are seeing obviously things change literally day by day, week by week.
