But we Everybody expected that, right? But I think that, you know, for as it relates to Crestron and Copilot, the story is how do you enable a really great Copilot experience in a room, especially in those larger boardrooms? Really high impact spaces? Yeah, a lot of Microsoft's focus is how do they make the rooms AI enabled? How do they take this Copilot technology? So you need Obviously you're gonna be an MTR in that scenario. Yeah. And then we were talking about, you know, with 1 Beyond, you can do those large rooms with multi-camera, with proper audio and, and how that helps. Right. Well, and I've experienced this too, as I've been using Copilot in my own life. And then I go into a meeting room that doesn't have a transcription and Copilot enabled. You know, it kind of breaks that flow. And so, uh, how to take Copilot from the individual space to all the meeting spaces is a big conversation that we're hearing here. And that's why, you know, we've invested so much in a really great audio experience with 1 Beyond and Automate VX, uh, connected to the best audio systems. Best microphones, best speakers.
