Quotes:

• "It's important if our customers think it's important."
• "With Tines, teams don't have to wait on engineering anymore. The power is now in their hands."
• "Automation and AI are synonyms... both talking about the same thing, which is that we can offload more stuff to computers."
• "Impressive demos are unbelievably easy... actually useful features, rigorous, reliable, dependable features, are kind of hard to build."
• "There is a lot of BS out there. A lot of vendors are trying to sell AI features that just genuinely do not work."
