From the product, today, we're working on providing fast, effective user activity guardrails for generative AI use in companies. And we have a lot of work to make that happen, but it's after that where it also starts to get really interesting because gen AI is the new sexy stuff, but it's not the only stuff around AI.

And so after that, we have all this company organizational use of AI that is not the conversational chatbot stuff we see today. It's embedded AI in predictive applications, predictive analytics, workflow processes, all this stuff that you never see. But we need to build a way to provide guardrails around that, too.

As my co-founder, our CTO, says, once these things start getting these AI engines start to get connected to each other via APIs, they're not just going to give you answers. They're going to go take actions on their own. And from a security perspective, it's going to be robots fighting robots, as he says.

And we actually see a way to provide guardrails around robots fighting robots to the second wave of kind of the future for us and where it gets really interesting with some of the technology we're working on today.

I've worked in small companies that have grown, kind of late stage privates, and then have been acquired into some really great public companies. But I would say I've been fortunate to work for probably two of the best leaders that I've ever seen. One is a guy named Prakash. He is now the chief product officer at Freshworks. It's a publicly held company in the CRM space.

I was lucky to work for him long ago, like 20 years ago when he wasn't at the Chief product officer level, worked for him at a company called Oblix, which is an identity management. Late stage startup was acquired by Oracle. I worked for him again when we got acquired by Oracle. Most productive product guy I've ever seen.

Unbelievably savvy, able to manage, getting things done with keeping the good spirit and was just unbelievable in how he could make things happen and how effective it was in getting things done. And so when I walk into a sticky situation, I think about how would Prakash do this? How did I see him do it? And I try and pick that up.
