that we think is very valuable to pushing the technology to getting these web agents to be in a reliable place. I think that intersection of wanting there to be a product out there that people are using and having the AI muscle to push the technology to make it happen is not as common, as far as we can tell. But like I said, it is a crowded space and a lot of smart people out there thinking about this problem. We'll just have to see. Did you shed a little tear when you quit Georgia Tech? Not so much when I quit Georgia Tech because I had already started spending more time at Meta. It was a little bit of a slow progression. But the one point that I do remember is when the first batch of my students were graduating. There were some new students coming in but I wasn't recruiting quite as actively.

And yeah, I had gotten quite attached to them. In hindsight, I am now realizing that it was because that is who I thought of as my lab. And it was hard for me to picture how my lab cannot have these people. And so that may be a more emotional slash meaningful moment. How many people did graduate whom you supervised? That's an interesting question. I'll have to go back and count. I actually haven't counted it. They're not that many across PhD students and master students. It's probably been dozens. Tell me what is the most surprising thing that you have learned from one of them? I don't know if this is surprising, but I guess it is because it's not something I expected. This was technically Dhruv's student, but I was collaborating very closely with him. This is Abhishek Das, our third co-founder. Even when he was a student, like his first or second year in grad school, he had this sense of wanting to push the field forward, regardless of who made it go forward. So even if he was working on a problem, for example, if I put 19 DAILY WACV Saturday Devi Parikh
