And you see this across a lot of different industries.

Models are getting much better.

I mean, even just what ChatGPT 5.2 can do today is, I think, leagues above what we were getting a year ago.

So obviously, these things are getting better.

But some of the workflows, I think, are still really fragmented, right?

So if you're looking at the true bottlenecks, I think a lot of time it is coordinating things.

It's not just like how smart the AI model is.

And then you also have the other side of that, which is a lot of workers right now feel very overwhelmed or they feel very threatened by a lot of these AI tools.

And basically, this kind of like promise of efficiency is, I think, scary for a lot of people who are like, well, how is this going to address, you know, what's going on inside of my organization?

So despite them obviously raising a massive seed round and they have a really solid team, they don't yet have a product.

The company is really deliberate, I guess, in how vague they are about what the first vision is going to look like of their new AI model they're training.

Although they've all kind of hinted that it's going to replace or sit along some multiplayer collaboration environments.

You can imagine things like Slack or Google Docs or Notion.
