is taking the best data, right. so one of the key things that you might know if you put in that data, you get sort that out. right. garbage in garbage out. and so a lot of our work is built around taking some of the world's best data when it comes to the authoritative sources around tax and accounting and then putting that into the right models and then building the right verification mechanisms and some of the right tools around how we have check if information is correct and doing that level of technological innovations, a bill to get accurate answers parents. of is. tax season is coming up, right? so can you give us an example are a few examples really use cases of how your software works to streamline processes for people who are in tax and accounting. >> yeah, i to give additional tax advice. but one of things that we do is we serve some of the biggest companies in the world and we help lot of the companies as they can. but their strategy when it comes to how we build the right tax

position, attack strategy adopted to the new laws are coming out with the tariffs that are being in place got it. so. >> would love to get your thoughts on this, too. is there a possibility that ai could be used on the consumer level to help people with their personal finances as well? so, for example, instead of hiring a tax professional anyway could just turned ai and have a plug in the numbers for them. >> yeah, absolutely. i think that is one a division the same way that, you know, you have a fun your pocket, right? maybe you have tax professional that exist in your pocket. and everyone bracing to market get access to real task expertise and really kind of expertise that the average everyday person today doesn't get access to it. so i think the vision for that is definitely there. i think we're still early. and so a lot of are a lot of our work today is figuring out how to do the right technologies. the first saw some of the most complex challenges in the business for out and and what we can do that we can figure out a bring that to really the rest of the people serious cases. you know, david, of course, i know you're in the finance ai vertical, but where

do you see artificial intelligence going in the next 5 to 10 years? yeah, that's that's a great question. i think it's hard for it. not the case. sometimes on, you know, where going to be. i think often times people overestimate where technology will be one year from now. but underestimate world will be 5 years from now. so i think that we will continue to i really believe that every aspect of our daily lives all industries, right in the same without software, even 20 years you know, we see that not just from our consumer, they live from our business lives. and, you know, all of these different domains, we'll see the same thing happened with ai as well and alternate all right. and just to wrap things up here, you know. >> how is it operating a startup in san francisco right now in their early 2010's, we saw his boom of startups, of course, tech workers everywhere in the city. but a very different picture right now. so walk us through how things are going for you guys. >> yeah, i think big about there and already sort of is a real privilege. i think when you know, i was in the bay area in the 5 years ago when covid first started and i was step stanford for dropped out.
