Can you give a more specific tangible example of how do you use Claude Code, and what were you trying to figure out, build, or solve as it relates to your, your FP&A function?

I'll give two examples that I think are really interesting recently.

So like most companies, you close the deal and you book the deal.

You don't bill it until later on, and so that naturally creates a bookings versus billings gap.

And you wanna understand, you know, when you're gonna bill and when your cash is gonna, is gonna come in.

And so what I was able to do through one of our AI-enabled tools was pull into Excel all of our bookings data and then pull in, into another tab, all of our billings data.

What I worked on with Claude Code is I said, "Hey, in column A, I have the date of the booking.

of-Play by play of use cases in each of those major mandates where, where you're deploying AI and what the tools can do for us

So this is the game plan.

This is as we're getting ready to hit the cup in.

I ream and hit the cup in under fluoro.

And, you know, going to my 90s movies and things, you know, it's wide open.

All you got to do is tap it in.

Just tap it in nice and gently.

You know, I'm walking the residue of the fellow.

Well, I think we're going to have to call that the Barry test from now on, right? If a cortical bone flexes with pressing, it's a positive Barry

[laughs]

[laughs] I wanted to live there.

And, uh, you know, long story short, when I got old enough to drink, I started to seek these places out.Uh, by that time Ah Fong's had become a Mexican restaurant, and all of these little mom and pop Chinese places went back to...

Well, they s- they redecorated in the '80s, basically.

Um, just really crappy '80s decor for the most part.

I mean, they were doing what they did.

They were adapting to what was, to the zeitgeists, to what was going on.

Yeah
