in this past year with AI tools, we shipped, built and shipped for consumer iOS apps. And that I think that was only possible obviously with all these tools and it got significantly faster towards the end of the the year in 2025. But I think like budgets can be used. So a million dollar round, let's say you've raised at this point. you're building 10x faster, sometimes even more.

You're like on a product level, but now you can afford to run more experiments. And a startup is just a handful of experiments that you're trying to figure out and like prove out a thesis. And now you can prove out multiple theses at the same time because of these agentic tools. So your take on it. is you can do three or four products at once, which would lead me to believe that the cost went down.

If it if you think you can do three eight products at once and test them, the cost will go down by two thirds. You'll need three or four people instead of 10. Definitely. Because you you can start to just automate out rolls or Yeah, basically tasks, right?

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
