I want to kick off by talking about the data stack. And I'm curious, now we've got all these AI agents, has that changed what you need in a data stack? The one thing that massively changes is the ability to reason with data. Now you could basically go and do reasoning on the data and you could apply agentic experiences as sort of the next ultimate evolution of it. While the fundamentals don't change, the data stack really is moving towards a point where it can help you reason with it and deeply sort of get to the insights and intelligence with all the latest greatest. Tooling that's available.
