[00:00:00] Speaker 1: It's like buying the boxed cake mix. Automation lets you create the boxes of cake mix, but then somebody still has to bake the cake. And when you're baking the cake, you can zhuzh it up however you want. You can throw chocolate chips into your funfetti cake if you want. You can get those frosting rosettes if you don't want to just smear on the frosting from the jar, you know? That's up to you still. But automation makes it easier for you to just pick something up off the shelf and then take it wherever you want to go.
