Don't quote, I could be wrong on that.
But basically the idea is if you're doing other knowledge work, other than coding,
Can you do it within Cloud?
And this is the idea that the world, I think, has been going in this direction.
We talked a little bit about Manus last week, companies like that.
There's a number of others.

manipulating data, if you're doing all the other knowledge work that those of us who aren't coders do, instead of bringing the AI to the Excel spreadsheet, which is what Copilot tried to do with Microsoft, you bring all these tools into the clawed space, into the workspace, and maybe it'd be more efficient.

It's like every single knowledge worker uses the Office suite.
You get PowerPoint, you get Excel, you get Word.
What is the AI version of the Office suite?
