But I think a lot of the smaller apps and companies are like, well, if we don't need it, maybe there's not a reason to just, you know, bolt something on that's not necessary.

And that's making up, you know, almost 73% of all apps.

I think what is obviously pretty clear is how fast AI adoption is accelerating.

About one in four apps now marketing themselves are marketing themselves as AI driven.

So a lot of those are not necessarily going to be, you know, ChatGPT or Gemini, but they might just be, you know, an app that has some AI features in their product experience, which I think a lot of people should be and could be experimenting with.

And there's a lot of things that AI can do just inside of all traditional SaaS.

I do think this is a smart idea for most any apps.

I think definitely the categories that are adopting AI faster than others would be things like photo and video apps.

Those are kind of the top according to what they're seeing in their analytics.

They say 61% of photo and video apps are incorporating AI features.

They say gaming is on the complete opposite extreme.

Only 6.2% of gaming apps are using AI in their code offering.

Um, there's a bunch of other, like, pretty low adoption categories, including travel, which is only 12.3%, which is hilarious because I swear every single demo we see from ChatGPT and Gemini is like, check out the new advancements we made.

Now...

I don't know how often people are planning their travel itineraries.

I don't know why this is the one demo we get stuck on with everyone.

And I apologize for my voice, my demo voice there.

But it is just one of things that drives me crazy.

And it's so wild to see that only 12% of the travel apps are actually using this.

Well, every single AI company is like basically using this category as the main demo of a use case.
