Yes. Thanks, Pat. So our customers are looking to do a couple of things. The first is they want to arm their agents with the best information, the best tools available to make them the most productive. And in some cases, that’s improving the quality of answer that they can provide by suggesting an answer because the AI has already been trained on things like product manuals and FAQs, the agent doesn’t have to do laborious research before answering a question that’s coming in from a customer, so they can answer more accurately in a more timely fashion. The customer at the end of the day, is more satisfied because the answer is more accurate. And the agent is more productive. They can answer faster, free their time up, either answer more questions or do other work. So that’s one area. And that’s where copilot has really taken off and become really clear in the marketplace as a solution that improves agent productivity 30% or more. And we’ve seen that time and time again, across customers. On the L-1 support task, they’re looking to deflect questions coming in that our routine road – this is the first test that they’re looking for routine road and free their agents from that kind of mundane work, frankly. And so the first thing they’re looking for is how can I create an agent that is fully trained on my information, my FAQs, my product manuals and answer questions right out of the box from customers. That’s what Freddy AI agent does, and that’s why we’re getting a lot of positive feedback on that. And again, it’s a quest to both improve the productivity of their existing staff, improve the experience of their customers. So we’re seeing success on both fronts. And I think net-net, what they’re not doing is they’re not saying, hey, I’m going to build it myself. And they’re not saying, hey, I’m going to go find another point solution. They’re looking to us in the first instance to solve that problem for them. If they’re looking for a new customer support tool, that’s the first question they’re asking. Tell me about your AI story. On the EX side, it’s the same thing. They’re looking to automate the employee experience have virtual agents handle more direct questions that employees are asking of IT, free those valuable IT agents up to do something else. And likewise, they’re looking to empower those AI agents or those human agents that they have with tools that make them more productive. So that’s a little bit of a flavor of what I hear. And I think we’re really well positioned to solve those problems.
