And then maybe it builds even a web page for the trip.
And so you have all your bookmarks there and all your images, highly personalized.
But all these pieces, all these features connect to infrastructure and to processing, to ultimately whoever is selling you the service.
Because it's not like you're having an agent that builds an airplane that flies to Paris, although that would be kind of cool if that exists.
The world that we as humans enjoy is still...
mostly physical.
And it's mostly based on services provided by others.
And even if you like, you know, making your own food at home, you still have to buy groceries because you're not growing all these in the garden.
But even if you grow all these in the garden, then you have to buy, then you're a good customer of Home Depot to get all the gardening materials and the tools, right?
And so the same is true for software.
There's always going to be some part of the stack that the professional software developer, companies like Microsoft, Google, you know, and so on to provide to you.
What is really changing is the way you engage with that stack.
And instead of taking off-the-shelf apps, you're going to have personalized.

I think it's much more on the fly that you're engaging with your agent
Tony Stark in Iron Man has Jarvis and effectively engages with Jarvis, his computer, only through natural language.
But every time he needs something, it has this hollow image screen in front of him and he can see how he can build a time machine.
And so I think this is how I'm thinking about agents helping us to build software for your house, for my Paris trip.
but it's built on top of a stack that's provided by a technology industry.
And I think that technology industry will sit on so much more complexity and so much more scale because now a billion people generate software that connects with those APIs.
