It's still pretty aggressive out there.
So, I mean, ultimately, we want to build a category leader.
That's the way I think about it.
Yeah, I think loosely, you know, we're calling it product experience.
We think it's kind of this crossover between a mixture of analytics and in-app engagement.
So it's kind of, you know.
When I started the company, we saw these two spaces out there and we said, you know, I think the ultimate winner is going to have the union of those two.
And that's been our thesis since day one.
That's driven our roadmap.
It's driven our strategy.
And I think you're starting to see more signs that that's the way the market's moving.
I think Intercom's got a very different focus.
I think they're trying to revolutionize customer communications, next generation CRM.
I see them trying to disrupt the support tools like Zendesk and Freshdesk more so than attacking Pendo.
So I think there's plenty of room in the market for Intercom and Pendo to coexist.
So I don't actually see them as competitive at all.
Yeah, I think the company we see most frequently in deals is a company called WalkMe.
They started traditionally in the training space or the in-app messaging space.
You know, they're not really known for analytics at all.
So, you know, in many ways, just half of our product competes against them.
