No, like search is way broader.

Search is coordinating the human species around anything we're trying to do.

How does search become less and less commodity?

Well, it's always about really good retrieval and really good data.

So if you do perfectly on both those things, you have all the data and you have all the best possible retrieval, that is perfect search.

And so it is, like, both accumulating all the web's data, you know, accumulating data that's not on the web, and then training extremely powerful models to search over it.

Those have always been the two, like, index and retrieval have always been the two pushes at Exa on the engineering side since five years ago.

Yeah, so I want to get to the ideal world where you have perfect search and then everyone's incentivized to create amazing content, even more so than before.

I actually think there's an opportunity here, and I'll talk about how, to create a system where, like, content providers are making more revenue because they are participating in this massive agentic economy, right?

So, like, I like to think from first principles, you know, the first principles idea here is that the agentic economy is going to be huge.

Like, basically, like, we're all going to have agents, and those agents are going to be participating, you can imagine, in this, like, agentic economy and cyberspace, where basically they're doing, like, commerce, they're, like, reading information.

It's, like, everything we do on the internet, they're doing, but, like,

A thousand times bigger.

Right.

So there's a massive amount of value in this economy, meaning money.

And and so if there's so much value, like instead of like, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars going to one company, what if, you know, 50 billion dollars a year went to one company and the other 150 billion went to all the content providers?

There's ways to distribute the value in this new agenda economy that are more favorable towards providers of content.

And by the way, it won't be $200 billion, it'll be a trillion dollars a year of value.

So if we could figure this out well, there's an opportunity for everyone to just do amazingly.

Yeah, for sure.
