But it's funny.

If we take a second and rewind ourselves...

what two years ago was.

This was the age of when if you're building anything with agentic AI, you were trying to use as few requests as possible, like maybe one or two in order to get a job done because it costs money every single time you spend it.

You were trying to make things as fast as possible because in the age of Amazon, every like half a millisecond like resulted in a lot more of your user base just shedding and going elsewhere.

And so two and a half years or two years ago,

I built it and it worked really well, but we scrapped it.

And we scrapped it because things were too slow.

It took like 30 seconds, 30 seconds to a minute and a half to get an answer.

It took like 30 requests to actually get an answer.

And it was too expensive.

It took too long.

And then the last key thing is people didn't believe in a CLI at the time.

We're a little bit too early.

And I went from hackathon to trying to bring it back into work.

And so it's so funny, like thinking back in that age of, oh, my gosh, now look at us where this is the age of terminals, the age of CLIs to make it so you can bring agentic AI to everything on your computer.

So that was kind of like the origin origin.

But like fast forward to here at Google, for those who don't know, actually, I just I think I just had my year anniversary yesterday.

Oh, congrats.

Thank you.
