So you can plug in an AI tool into almost any component or feature in your product and make it better, if not significantly better, not just much more quickly, but also more cost effectively.\nNow, that has raised the bar for what all of our tools need to be capable of in order to compete successfully within our respective markets, but at the same time, That has also lowered the bar to entry into creating a product that is more capable faster and more cost effectively.
