…What's the limitation of what this can do today? What can't you do? Say you're like, you have zero coding experience, what sorts of products can you not yet build with something like this that might be possible in the future? How far does this take you now? You can build MVPs. I think you can also start to get some initial users. I think when you start iterating on the product like large iterations, you might run into problems. For example, it's not very good at database migrations, and so we're trying to fix that. So when you're iterating on the product, a lot of the times, you're actually changing the structure of the app and that requires database migrations. And so now it might change the database in a way that creates an error that's unrecoverable. And at that point, you might get stuck, especially if you don't know how to code. Some people will figure it out by going to ChatGPT and Claude and asking questions and I actually am really inspired about how persistent some of our users are, which is really amazing. But I think you'll get an MVP pass, the MVP where it's a product that's working and you need to change and iterate on it. It's still a struggle now, but I expect over the next few months, we'll continue. It's if you think about it's like we're building as you were building, so we're building out the agent so that it can continue getting better as our users are also building their applications. Got it. So what I'm hearing is it's really good at building the first version and helping you get to something that you can even have people use. It's not amazing yet evolving from there, using AI to help you make the product better and better and better and iterate.…
