94.177 - 113.974 Kim Komando

But how does one define small? How would you define small? What is your definition of small?

201.62 - 209.753 Unknown

If you were to say like a small batch of wine, what's that? Maybe a hundred bottles? Because mass produced is going to be thousands?

309.505 - 323.379 Kim Komando

Things are going to be different this year. Just a little heads up. We're moving away from chat pots that answer questions to AI agents that will take action. So maybe you will have an agent AI that will negotiate your cable bill or file your taxes.
