And I think with AI, really some of the, let's say, more standard adaptations to the template, like in my case, IP allocations and so on, they can be done much more quicker, and actually you can spend more time on thinking, "Hey, what's the, what's the right strategy here? What's the right deal to be struck?" So you, you're thinking as a lawyer, I would say, to put it a bit- Graphically, kind of you, you need to think a level higher.

Today, there's a lot of very practical gen AI tools for generating educational videos, for, uh, generating like, um, nice little snippets you can put on your intranet.
