And we're gonna have a world of creators that can imagine these worlds that we then get to participate in and interact in.

I think in terms of, you know, verticals, I mentioned travel or I mentioned health and finance, but I also believe in travel.

You know, right now, when you want to go somewhere, you are spending some of your hardest earned time and money to have a great experience.

And yet you don't always have full visibility in what's there and you can't always express your own personal interests.

Having an expert that can actually help bridge that gap is an incredible opportunity.

And I think the same thing is true for you know shock.

for fashion, for setting up your home, for upgrading your home life in ways that you don't think about.

So this this whole world of kind of vertical services that are much more powered by AI and very different interaction model and very, very personalized to you.

Those are just some of the things I get really excited about.

I mean, there's so many more.

You know, we talked about fashion and being able to actually have something made for you that you've designed in your mind, being able to connect with people in ways that AI facilitates.

So it's like, hey, I want to ask this question, but you can role-play it with AI.

And then it might actually do some of the work to go reach out on your behalf to some things and bring you back answers before you actually then go have the human connection.

Yeah.

I don't want to add a replace human connection, but anything it can do to get me closer to having even better, more impactful human moments is gonna be incredible.

I mean, I think live shopping is just an incredible category.

And I think Whatnot as a company has done a fabulous job really expanding their marketplace and expanding all the ways in which people can buy things.

But what's really fun with something like live shopping is that it's much more about participation.

You know, I can go to the store, I can go to a static store and just click on a few things.

But when I'm actually on whatnot, I'm hearing the story behind the products.
