When you think about what companies can automate with these AI agents, how they can improve their top line revenue, how they can cut costs, how they can be more efficient, how they can serve their customers better, it's got tremendous potential.

Well, I think ChatGPT is the perfect example of how much can be automated with AI.

And when every company looks at that, they think, hey, we can make our customer experience better with adding ChatGPT-like capabilities.

We can make our employees more productive.

So it's really driving them to deploy more AI technology.

And that means more identity is required.

Those connections have to be secure.

Those connections have to be reliable.

So it's really an exciting time for the industry.

Well, I think it's really important that everyone understands how important identity management is to rolling out AI and AI agents.

Yeah.

Well, it's important that the identity service connects to everything.

It connects to every application in the back end, every development platform.

One of the things about AI agents particularly is how you build these things is changing very rapidly.

So we give our customers the ability to make sure they have security, governance, and visibility, and then let them choose the rapidly evolving platforms behind the scenes to whatever fits their needs.

That's really core to everything we do, that choice and that flexibility.

Well, it's a different world view.

I think companies try to consolidate around everything in cyber.

We think that that's not the right approach.

We think the right approach is to consolidate on identity.
