And so these two are attacking a very, very important problem.
This is not something you can get wrong.
People use Rowspace to make better decisions with AI.
And they need to make sure the numbers are right.
And in many of these cases, they're making decisions to make more money.
And so the investment thesis here is we can help people make better decisions.
This is going to be a really, really powerful application.
So at Sequoia, we've always been optimists.
And I think we need to be to help build legendary companies with the daring that we back.
And the people that are daring are people like Michael.
And you can think of the world as a dystopian world.
But at the same time, we just are very, very optimistic that the impacts are real.
AI impacts are real.
They're going to allow us to do a lot more than we used to be able to do.
And so, yes, some of the things that we did before, we're going to not do anymore because it's going to get automated by AI.
But it just leaves all of us to be able to do much more strategic work, much more creative work.
and much more human work.
This is why in Rowspace's sort of example, there's still a human in the loop and we want the human to be in the loop to make the decisions on our behalf.
I don't think we're gonna give our decisions willy-nilly to an AI to make on retirements and benefits and insurance or anything related to the type of your viewers who are thinking about those decisions.
It's pretty much been pretty smooth.
