It's built in Katana's DNA from day one, that the platform has to be extendable to whatever use case our customers have so from day one we for example have allowed customers to connect their accounting systems or account connect their crms of course we are like why would we be denied why would we be forcing them to use a specific set of tools they know their business better than we do so then extending that to api as well and allowing them to use whatever ai they want on top of their data, it was obvious for us.
