How do you think this impacts the education system?

I mean, you have your app, I mean, a lot of companies are also working.

I'm not saying on similar things, but I mean, your success will attract new s new companies and that maybe try to do what you're doing.

I where do you think we are in a couple of years?

So I think, I mean, we need a lot of like bright people into this space, right?

Learning has been kind of stuck in education for a long while and it's not about replacing school.

That's absolutely not what I want to do.

I think teachers, you know, are trying to do the best with the tool they have, I think this kind of tool can offload them so they don't have to do grading.

So they don't have to do, you know, like homework and they can focus on, you know, a classroom where you have people and I think that cannot be replaced, right?

The interaction, the collaboration, that's not what we're going to replace, but the grading, the the learning, you know, on your own, you can do that with an app better.

So I think it will really make the job of teachers easier, make school more enjoyable and make learning outside of school a lot more effective.
