So what's funny is it'll all seem very ancient time to most people.
It was when we took Gmail out of beta.
So way back when it was invite only, and we took, we opened up Gmail to the world.

And the whole team received the Founders Award for that work.
So it was, you know, back in the day.
So basically, if you remember when you built a website and you actually had people to code it, and then along came Squarespace and Wix, and it became super easy.
Well, that's what we're doing with business apps.
So it used to be you'd have to hire all sorts of developers.
Now you can very easily create a business app for whatever business process you want to make more efficient.
A little bit, although we are a no-code platform, so there's less work required.
The idea is that you can work with someone who is the actual person who's out there, who needs a mobile app for something, who can then build the app that makes them more efficient instead of
Trying to translate all the requirements through a developer and through the code and building it from scratch in that way.

I met Hari, the founder.
last summer, and it was right after I was the CMO at Looker.
We sold Looker to Google, and that was a big transition for me.
And then that's when I met Hari, who's the founder of Apple Pie.
