Thank One please. moment you.

of the from comes Levine question ISI. with Evercore Peter next Our line

Great. just question. proprietary vendor to questions. proprietary. The piggyback that of Thanks, Every their maybe is my are guys, AI other taking off George, us data. AI to outcomes for telling their is

AI? outcomes. where kind to explain about your are moat on same competitive about like you of their Microsoft comes When customers all is why their all talk hear us from? going maybe at Palo, So we what talking a or around think point the finer the Zscaler But really Charlotte moat maybe put products, least push copilot,

Sure. It I about people with certainly There's of it, a it. good question, actually I and you. a really agree is think talking and lot we're delivering

just things the would I to point data about important the of set what's the itself. most to data. realize One is isn't you it that And

You'll be when has lot because hear about about train more it. vendor One trained. data there's of really from humans it curated set a a say It's to we helping We sort other. than vendors. will the think of that think about ChatGPT, the data bunch generative AI, actually to of

actually more hunting threat very all be company, happens, on that XX when we was so Just training started the we've generative we probably to set that's luck annotated the by done the upon AI last horizon, over a have well-defined going based that the years. than understanding

helping data in our customers. of distinct start to is curated having terms actually that's us believe give our set advantage So XX-year a we of head a going
