And they're all there.
And so I think that's kind of what's going to happen with even agents.
So there will be a UI layer.
To me, Office is not just about the Office of today.
It's the UI layer for knowledge work.
It'll evolve as the workflows evolve.
That's what we want to build.
I do think the SaaS applications that exist today, these CRUD applications are going to fundamentally be changed because the business logic will go more into this agentic tier.
In fact, one of the other cool things today in my co-pilot experience is when I say, hey, I'm getting ready for a meeting with a customer,
I just go and say, give me all the notes for it that I should know.
And it pulls from my CRM database.
It pulls from my Microsoft Graph, creates a composite, essentially artifact.
And that means, and then it applies even logic on it, right?
And that to me is going to transform the SaaS applications as we know of it today in a big way.
I think it also would create a lot of value in the SaaS.
For sure.
Remember, one of the big issues was, one thing that we don't pay as much attention to perhaps is the amount of IT backlog there is in the world, right?
So one of the ways is these code gen things plus the fact that I can interrogate all of my SaaS applications using agents and get more utility.
will be the greatest explosion of apps.
They'll be called agents so that you can, for every vertical in every industry or in every category, we're suddenly going to have the ability to be serviced.
