I mean, I met the founder of Chirp. We're back and forth. And I said, well, we would like to use Chirp, but it doesn't integrate with our thing. He goes, oh, don't worry. I'll do it. And just meeting him yesterday, you know, and he said, oh, okay, well, then he'll do it.

Well, what's cutting edge?
