  "summary": "RingCentral's stock surged by 5% on Friday after the company raised its full-year free cash flow forecast. During a conference call with analysts, CEO Vlad Shmunis highlighted the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the company's future, stating that it represents a larger opportunity than the transition from traditional communication systems to the cloud. RingCentral's AI products have already accounted for about 15% of the company's total annual recurring revenue, which is rapidly growing. The company's adjusted operating margin improved by 1.9 percentage points to 24.7%, and adjusted earnings per share increased by 18% to $1.33. With revenue expected to exceed $2.65 billion for the full year, free cash flow rose by 21% to $157 million, enabling RingCentral to pay down debt and return capital to shareholders.",
