And we have a special guest today. And it actually truly is a special guest, not unlike other podcasters that call every guest a special guest because we never have guests on the show.

interested in improving their operations. Awesome. And it's beautiful. And we've known Cognite for a long time, work with you for years. Really a long time. You all have grown tremendously.

We really look forward to working with y'all. 2025s will be a great year for both of our companies. And we really looking forward to helping your message out there to the people that Cognite can actually help. Oh, yes. Cognite was founded about eight years ago. We were working with Acker BP, so really focused on the upstream oil and gas area.

And what we discovered was that the complex data that our customers work with make it difficult to make fast and timely decisions.

What Cognite endeavors to do is create simple access to that complex industrial data so that you can use algorithms, including generative AI, in order to scale that decision-making process and accelerate your value of the data that you have. Yeah, absolutely. And we're going to have much more of Codnight and education on our other podcasts. Right now that we probably need to get into news, but before we get to news, we got a review page. Oh, yeah, we do have a review. Oh, it's a five-star. Great podcast. Right now, though, we probably need to get into news. But before we get to news, we got a review page.
