How is Zorro leveraging AI and the opportunities that presents? Yeah. So AI, machine learning technology broadly at the heart of everything that we do, given that we have to do everything at scale. And so thinking about how we how do we possibly market merchandise and endless assortment, we have to take a non traditional approach because if we took a traditional approach, we we wouldn't be able to continue growing our assortment. And so just a few examples of the ways that we're using. ML and AI are I had mentioned in our search experience and our product recommendations and making sure that we're continuously learning from our customers and the things that they're looking for and increasingly being able to present more and more relevant products to our customers throughout the journey with more and more personalization. As as our customers are spending more time with Zorro and buying more things from Zorro that that enables us to really continuously learn what is it that our customers want and and bring that into the on site. Experience, we are also using AI to really help us merchandise and, and present that simple seamless experience that that I described right. So if, if we have products that are coming from many different suppliers that maybe organize their information in all different ways, it it takes a tremendous amount of effort to to make sure that we are normalizing that information at scale. And so that's a way in which we're really leveraging. AI and ML to help us with presenting our assortment seamlessly.
