Expense

Can you talk a little bit about the importance of that and whether or not, you know, a trusted, quote unquote, trusted data needs to have a different meaning when we move towards agentic AI or not?

Oh yeah, for sure, right? Because trusted data gives us, you know, trustable information, right? But when we're dealing with agentic AI, now we're dealing with trusted delegated authority, right? So with generative AI, I really worry about if we've given it the wrong data, it's gonna make the wrong decision, right? And it's gonna take the wrong action, right? And then how do we prevent, let's say agents refunding customers for compute that they've already used on our platform, right? And they've managed to trick the agent into giving them a 400% refund over what they've spent with those, right? Or if the AI was to do something like Expense approvals.

I was talking to somebody at a conference two weeks ago, and they had an expense approval limit by their AI age in the $5,000.

So they're like, this is fine.

Today, many titles, for example Meta, in which, as you may know, I am wearing, have risen greatly for this great fear of the high CapEx.

Now, in very simple words, if you don't know, the CAPEX stands for Spesa in Conto Capitale and it is that voice that represents how much the company invests or spends in investments, usually long-term investments.

For example, the latest news talks about an investment of 700 billion in total by Microsoft, Alphabet and companies such as Meta in AI infrastructures.

What happens? The investors are very worried that then these investments will not lead to a respective high income.

They evaluate the business honestly and regularly.

Which marketing produces qualified inquiries? Which services are most profitable? Which clients are a best fit? What meetings are necessary? What tools save time? What subscriptions have stopped earning their place months ago? What team is overwhelmed? Where is the owner still involved unnecessarily? And without this review, Expenses will continue.

Inefficiency processes become amplified.

And old habits become permanent.

And I think the majority of the companies will cut marketing budget because marketing and brand is often seen as a cost center versus a growth driver.

On the balance sheet, when finance look at Expenses, that's a line item saying that's an expense.

So the challenge is how can you help cross-functional teams understand the value of those investments early on at different stages? I think for a new startup, it's more about building very differentiated products and driving growth quickly.

For a mature business, for example, like Amazon Prime, It's more about how can you continue to maintain existing customers, keep them engaged, and so they keep using the services.

It's very exciting.

We also, for our Patreon subscribers, just released our Tales from an Expense report, Nintendo Storytime, which has spurred some interesting discussions in our Discord community around other expense-related... situations they have found themselves.

It seems to be a universal thing.

It's
