Their wordsWe don't need the the agents to be 100% accurate, 100% high quality in order for us to use it. It could, you know, literally be 80% and then we help it the rest of the way, or it could be 99% we help it the rest of the way. And so I I think controllability is probably the single biggest breakthrough that we need for agents at every single level.
