Watch for the desktop apps to converge further on shared patterns beyond project folders that load themselves and plugin connectors to your most-commonly used tools. These new patterns may define the next decade of office software. WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK: * If you’ve been working in the web interface, download one of the desktop apps—Codex or Claude Code/Cowork—and spend a session there. The work feels different once you’re outside the browser tab. * If you’re already on a desktop app, poke around its integrations and capabilities section. There’s almost always something useful lurking, like Anthropic’s design and marketing plugins, or Codex’s PDF creation skill. Pick one and try it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uploaded image [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/advertisements/934/optimized_3de1259b-cd67-4c17-914e-6601715aef0a.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT25lIEFwcCB0byBSdWxlIEFsbCBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxNDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL2FkdmVydGlzZW1lbnRzLzkzNC9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfM2RlMTI1OWItY2Q2Ny00YzE3LTkxNGUtNjYwMTcxNWFlZjBhLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOCwiYWR2ZXJ0aXNlbWVudF9pZCI6OTM0fQ== WRITE AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT That gap between your brain and your fingers kills momentum.

Provenance matters less if you’ve reviewed it and stand behind it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW LET THE AGENT TELL YOU WHAT TO AUTOMATE Some people hesitate to delegate work to agents because they struggle to think of a good use case. Try flipping it: Hand the agent the keys and ask it what to do. 1. Open Codex (or Claude Code). Connect your top three tools, like Notion, Slack, and Gmail. Give the agent full permissions—it can’t find patterns in what it can’t see. 2. Prompt: “Look at how I use my connected tools. Suggest five automations that would save me time, and rank them by how much friction they’d remove.” It might suggest a morning briefing based on your calendar, or ways to triage your inbox. 3. Pick the easiest one first. Have the agent draft replies to unanswered messages at the end of each day. Run the automation for a week, then audit the misses. You won’t know the agent’s capabilities until it has access to your real tools and a reason to use them. Skip the guesswork and let it show you.—Laura Entis [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT25lIEFwcCB0byBSdWxlIEFsbCBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxNDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BsYXVyYV8yN2JiYWZfMSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKILL SHARE REVIEWING WORK WITH THE COMPOUND KNOWLEDGE PLUGIN Compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT25lIEFwcCB0byBSdWxlIEFsbCBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxNDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLXRoZS1kZWZpbml0aXZlLWd1aWRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==] turns every coding session into training data for the next one, so that the agent gets a little smarter about your codebase each time you use it.

The review step, launched with the kw:review command, ensures that the AI doesn’t start off on the wrong foot. What it does. The plugin reviews any Codex or Claude Code plans for strategic alignment with your company’s strategy and the project’s goals—and to verify the underlying numbers—before the agent gets to work. It’s the difference between “the agent wrote a plan” and “the agent wrote a plan that doesn’t contradict the last three executive meetings.” Why it matters. Most plugins for agents are built for engineers reviewing code. Code review happens after the code’s already written and tested. Compound knowledge assumes operators are reviewing memos, KPI sheets, or recruiting lists, where the verifiable failure might be a confidently wrong data point—which has to be caught before a plan is enacted. Steal it.

This is context-switching as a safety feature. The destination app reminds you that AI is now acting on something real—that the message is going to a person, or the document is about to anchor a launch—in a way a chat window can’t. As agents move deeper into the stack, though, the question becomes: Is the destination app the right venue for the final pass forever, or does the approval step need its own surface?

Not every step in an AI workflow needs the smartest AI. That may sound obvious, but it’s not how most people are working. The default is to route entire tasks through frontier models, which is expensive, slow, and usually unnecessary. Incremental determinism starts from a different question: How much intelligence does this task really need?? The answer is almost always less than you’d expect, and the savings add up.—Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjV9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a reason McDonald’s would never ask its CEO to man the burger grill: It would cost the company $9,230.77 an hour [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVzdGF1cmFudGJ1c2luZXNzb25saW5lLmNvbS9maW5hbmNpbmcvbWNkb25hbGRzLWNlby1jaHJpcy1rZW1wY3ppbnNraS1nb3QtcmFpc2UtbGFzdC15ZWFyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjZ9].

This tension isn’t really about the pricing of AI models—it’s about the value of human attention. Now that you have a cheaper alternative for many tasks that used to require it, you need to figure out the optimal way to deploy AI in a way that frees up your most expensive model—you. Most businesses are getting this balance wrong in both directions: overpaying for AI on simple tasks and underusing it on ones that would free up their best people. The solution is a process of optimization that I call incremental determinism. Every time you repeat a task, build it into a repeatable process by creating a skill file [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXNraWxscy1uZWVkLWEtc2hhcmUtYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ==]. Identify which parts of that process need the most expensive model, which can be delegated to cheaper, less powerful models, and which tasks repeat often enough to justify turning them into reusable code. And finally, get better at delegating so you can stay focused on the work that needs you. I call it incremental determinism because the more you repeat a task, the more it pays to nail down exactly how it should be done. The first time, you figure the task out as you go, but after doing it a few times, you can document the best approach. “Deterministic” is a programming term for code that always produces the same output given the same input. The goal is to push as much of your workflow towards that end of the spectrum as possible, because deterministic steps are faster, cheaper, and more reliable. The tradeoff is the upfront investment needed to systematize the task. There are four levels for achieving this balance and optimizing AI costs. Depending on your technical fluency, you don’t have to go to the final step, but understanding how they each support each other will help you manage how you can control AI costs across your entire organization.

LEVEL 1: TURN SESSIONS INTO SKILLS The first level is the easiest. Let’s say you are often asking AI to generate a PowerPoint pitch deck. The first step toward systematizing it is to make a skill [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXNraWxscy1uZWVkLWEtc2hhcmUtYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==]. A skill can be as simple as a text file detailing how to do a task that the model follows each time it’s asked. It’s the McDonald’s handbook that tells every employee how to make the perfect burger, over and over again. Even less experienced cooks can get a good result. Once you’re done with the normal back and forth of giving the AI the necessary data and context for the presentation, ask it, “What information would have been useful to know at the start of this task that would have eliminated several steps or mistakes?” Claude knows what it is capable of, so you can ask it to turn its response into a PowerPoint deck creation skill to use next time. Anthropic has been releasing plugins [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2FudGhyb3BpY3Mva25vd2xlZGdlLXdvcmstcGx1Z2lucyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=] (collections of skills) for various industries to serve as a starting point.

Once you have a skill, test it. Ask Claude to test the efficacy of the skill with the following prompt: “Run the task using subagents, one with the skill, one without, and compare the results.” If the skill is doing its job, you should see an improvement in quality, cost, and speed. Now try running it with a cheaper model—“Run this test again with Sonnet [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXNvbm5ldC00LTUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9]/Haiku [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLWhhaWt1LTQtNS1hbnRocm9waWMtY29va2VkIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==]”—and compare the results. If you’re happy with the output, ask Claude to “Use a subagent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXMtbmV3LWFnZW50cy1hcmUtY29uZnVzaW5nLWFzLWhlbGwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9] with Sonnet/Haiku when calling this skill.” You are using a subagent because you don’t want the model that you are using for your main session—the more expensive one—to be the model executing the task, so the separate, cheaper subagent does the work. You just decreased the cost of running that task by 10 to 100 times. It doesn’t make sense to write skills for throwaway tasks you won’t do again. But if you find yourself doing something for the third time, it’s probably worth formalizing it. If you’re using it multiple times per week, try getting it working with a smaller model. LEVEL 2: TURN SKILLS INTO EVALS Your team might see your skill and want to use it to create their presentations as well. While it’s easy to share skills across your organization [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zdXBwb3J0LmNsYXVkZS5jb20vZW4vYXJ0aWNsZXMvMTMxMTk2MDYtcHJvdmlzaW9uLWFuZC1tYW5hZ2Utc2tpbGxzLWZvci15b3VyLW9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMX0=], you’ll have to get them to trust that your skill delivers before they’ll adopt it. For that, you’ll need evidence in the form of evaluation metrics [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL2hvdy10by1ncmFkZS1haS1hbmQtd2h5LXlvdS1zaG91bGQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjJ9], or evals. For the simplest eval, gather 10 examples of tasks your skill has been used for—say, the last 10 decks you have made with the skill—and rewrite the output to be the gold standard or best-in-class example of what you’d hope Claude could produce. Now, ask Claude to “Run each test case with subagents and compare the output versus my gold examples.” Make changes to the skill and test if it does better. This is the “LLM-as-a-judge” technique [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy9ob3ctdG8tZ3JhZGUtYWktYW5kLXdoeS15b3Utc2hvdWxkLWQ0NTU3YzRjLWI0MjctNGNmYi1hMDk3LWQ5YWFhZjA5OWNmZiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=]—you’re using a model to grade its own work against your standard. In the spirit of incremental determinism, you should formalize your evals over time, too. Ask Claude to “Break down the patterns between what makes a ‘good’ answer (gold examples) versus the typical output of the skill.” It might say that one pattern for a good answer is following brand guidelines, another pattern is including four to five bullet points of commentary on a specific slide, and a third is calculating the correct numbers. Once you have several evals, you can combine them into a single score. Each eval becomes one “judge”—it looks at the output from one angle, such as data accuracy, and returns a score. You can weight each judge based on how much that dimension matters to you, then average the scores together. This “panel-of-judges” approach lets you track overall quality as a single number. The on-brand eval might be worth 40 points to you, the correct numbers could be 50, and the bullet points worth 10. Each prompt you test can then be scored out of 100, allowing you to compare how well one approach works versus another. Claude is a human-level prompt engineer and runs this process as a matter of course if you use the skill-creator [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2FudGhyb3BpY3Mvc2tpbGxzL2Jsb2IvbWFpbi9za2lsbHMvc2tpbGwtY3JlYXRvci9TS0lMTC5tZCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] function Anthropic provides. Let’s come back to our patterns of good output for a PowerPoint deck. Validating the data is more important than whether you’re missing a bullet point or using the right visual components, so you could weight that eval as 60 percent of the overall score versus 20 percent each for the other two. Together, you have a weighted average score for measuring how well your skill is performing. For companies, where getting a pixel out of line is a fireable offence, such as top-tier consulting or finance firms, you can change the relative weighting of that eval. Now, you have proof you can share with the team about the impact your changes are making on skills. When the next big model comes out, you can test how much better it does on your benchmark and if it’s worth the extra cost. LEVEL 3: TURN EVALS INTO SCRIPTS When your skill is working reliably, and you’re using it frequently enough that the token cost is starting to feel significant, you need to start thinking about scripts, CLIs or MCPs. This is where the steps get slightly more technical, but the principle is the same: Replace thinking with a structured process wherever your thinking doesn’t add anything extra. Every skill, like your PowerPoint deck skill, is a bundle of actions—pull this data, reference our brand guidelines, create a .pptx file—and some of those actions don’t require a smart model. Some don’t even require an LLM at all. Deconstruct your skill into its component parts and hard-code whatever you can. Code costs almost nothing to run and returns in an instant compared to LLMs, so the more of your workflow you can make deterministic, the cheaper and faster it will be. For our PowerPoint creation task, you can use the HTML and CSS templates for the slide deck written once by Opus, then filled in to generate the .pptx file when you need to create a deck. You can also write a script to pull the right revenue or sales figures from a data source, no LLM involved. The final export step—to .pptx format—can also be done in code. For tasks that require some judgment, like checking your deck’s compliance with brand guidelines, don’t jump straight to the most expensive model. Platforms like OpenRouter [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVucm91dGVyLmFpLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=] allow you to call any of the major commercial or open-source models, so you can experiment with the tradeoffs between cost and intelligence. Basic classification and summarization tasks can be done by older models 1,000 times cheaper than Opus with reasonable accuracy. Leave the most challenging tasks, such as the narrative and tailoring the tone to a specific audience, to Opus. LEVEL 4: TURN SCRIPTS INTO BETTER SCRIPTS In the previous step, you replaced as much LLM thinking as possible with deterministic code, bringing the cost of your PowerPoint skill down 10 to 90 percent compared to only using Opus. But you were only optimizing for your own use. When your skill is running inside a product, creating hundreds of decks a week, cost inefficiencies will again become a problem. For this, you will need to build a process to automate the optimization. Once you have 100 to 200 examples of the skill being used in the real world, a reliable basket of eval metrics, and a clear map of what the skill does at each step, you have everything you need to do so. The most common tool for this is DSPy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3JlaWxseS5jb20vbGlicmFyeS92aWV3L2NvbnRleHQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmctd2l0aC8wNjQyNTcyMjYxNjAzLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=], which can automate the prompt engineering process [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy9pLXZlLXN0b3BwZWQtd3JpdGluZy1wcm9tcHRzLWRzcHktZG9lcy1pdC1iZXR0ZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9] end-to-end. It runs your prompt, looks at the test cases, and rewrites the prompt to arrive at a more accurate outcome, often with a cheaper model. Another common approach is distillation. You use Opus to generate hundreds of high-quality examples that pass your evals, then use those to teach a cheaper model to produce similar results. You can do that by either including the examples in the prompt so Haiku can pattern-match against them, or by fine-tuning the cheaper model directly on the examples. Think of it as a head chef writing such a good recipe that a less experienced cook can follow it perfectly. This process can cost $10, $100, or $1,000, depending on the model and how many test cases you have, but spending $1,000 to save millions in production is worth it. More experimental approaches are emerging, too. Andrej Karpathy’s autoresearch [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2thcnBhdGh5L2F1dG9yZXNlYXJjaCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=] runs experiments to optimize a script file against an eval metric over long periods. Researchers wake up to more than 20 experiments run overnight with meaningful performance improvements. The great enemy at this level is overfitting: The skill or script works well against your eval metric but fails on tasks it hasn’t seen before. It’s “teaching to the test” for LLMs. The evals in the previous step are your main defense against this, because they give you a formal rubric for grading its performance. Human involvement in the evaluation process is necessary because we’re better able to catch behavior that goes against the spirit of the game, even if it’s not technically wrong as defined by the rules. If you are a manager at a company responsible for AI, you don’t need to know how to implement any of this yourself. What matters is understanding that this optimization layer exists, it’s what your technical team or tools are doing under the hood, and why the decision to invest can pay off. YOU ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE MODEL All of this optimization work takes time and expertise, and your attention is an even more expensive commodity than the latest models. Attention is the key word: The ladder of incremental determinism—sessions, skills, evals, scripts, optimized scripts—gives you a framework for deciding where to invest your attention. Every hour you spend optimizing a skill is an hour you’re not spending on something only you can do. You don’t need to climb the whole ladder—having reliable skills and evals is more than enough. The point is knowing the rungs exist, so when the cost pressure hits (and it will), you know exactly which lever to pull. If you’re struggling with unreliable or expensive skills but don’t have the capability to build scripts in house, it might be time to bring in someone technical and AI-savvy to do the heavy lifting. The cost of tokens is falling 90 percent every year for the same level of intelligence, so the task even Opus struggles with today might be easy and cheap in 12 months. Sometimes the smartest move is to overpay now and let the market do the price optimization for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==] is the head of tech consulting [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ==] at Every and a co-author of Prompt Engineering for Generative AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEFyZSB0aGUgTW9zdCBFeHBlbnNpdmUgTW9kZWwiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTM0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3JlaWxseS5jb20vbGlicmFyeS92aWV3L3Byb21wdC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1mb3IvOTc4MTA5ODE1MzQyNy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9] (O’Reilly).

The alpha version now supports drafts, snooze, grouped views, keyboard shortcuts, metadata parsing, bulk archive, undo, and a context-aware chat that can answer questions about the email you already have open. Cora’s broader goal is to let people do email however they want, whether that means organizing by recency, categories, briefs, or eventually doing an agent-first pass with manual cleanup at the end.

Instead of restating tone, structure, or your usual edits in every session, you can carry that context forward and get drafts that pick up where the last one left off. Memory is live now through the API (it’s not inside the app yet, but stay tuned).

Four months ago I opened the coding terminal for the first time, and it felt like staring into a black box that might bite me. Now I’m a snob about using it instead of a desktop app. I build dashboards for biotech companies in it. I pull clinical trial data and parse financial filings while asking AI to explain the business model to me like I’m 11, and then like I’m 15, and then like I’m a grownup. On top of all that, I run Ghostty as my blazingly fast native terminal so I can juggle multiple windows for different workstreams, and I feel like I’m in the Matrix. I’m promiscuous about the models inside the terminal I use. It might be Claude one day, GPT the next, and whatever is new the month after that. But I will never leave the terminal. Codex and Claude Desktop and Cowork have built beautiful interfaces for exactly the work I do, and without even trying any of them, I’ve decided they’re inferior—maybe because they’re too easy to use. The terminal gives me the sense that I passed through a threshold of frustration most people won’t, and that’s worth the tiny sliver of superiority I feel when I use it. And sitting at a terminal makes me feel like I belong with the people who know how to code, even though I don’t, really. All it took was four months of use and a minor superiority complex, and I’ve become one of those people I used to wonder about—the ones who won’t try the new thing even when it might work better.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggTW92ZXMgQmV5b25kIENvZGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMzMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL0FzaHdpbnJlYWRzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjUwfQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

(Source: Every.) Step 1: Screen-record yourself using the product you’re doing a clip on. All you need is raw footage of yourself clicking through features in real time. Step 2: Send the recording to a model—Austin prefers Opus—and have it draft a storyboard. The recording provides a ground truth for how the UI works and what the copy says. This prevents the most frequent cause of fake-looking launch videos: plausible-but-hallucinated labels and features. Step 3: Iterate on the storyboard. Go back and forth with the model until the hook, pacing, and beat-by-beat plan feel right. Step 4: Hand the storyboard to a coding agent and have it build the video in Remotion. With the screen recording and the corresponding storyboard, the first full render is usually publishable. It’s not a true one-shot, but it saves a lot of time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOW, NEXT, NIXED PROMPTS ARE THE NEW INSTALLERS Companies and developers are trying a new way to let users download an AI tool.

The prompt is doing the job the download button used to do: It gets the user from “I want to try this” to “It’s running in my workflow.” Next: Someone designs the standard version of this. The copyable prompt block becomes a normal part of product pages and GitHub READMEs (the instructions for software projects), especially for developer tools. It should work on the web and on a repository homepage, and feel as obvious as a “Sign in with Google” button. Nixed: The download button as the main way in.

Dan and Kieran discuss where humans fit now that AI can generate high-quality code, copy, strategy, and design. If the execution layer is largely solved, do engineers still have a role in the workplace? The short answer: Yes. Think of an AI workflow like a sandwich—the model is the workhorse filling, and we’re the bread, providing framing and taste.

Here are the highlights: * Play to your strengths. Kieran’s compound engineering framework [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW914oCZcmUgdGhlIEJyZWFkIGluIHRoZSBBSSBTYW5kd2ljaCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMjAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLWNhbXAtZXZlcnktc3RlcC1mcm9tLXNjcmF0Y2giLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9] breaks the engineering workflow into four steps: Plan, work, review, and compound. AI takes care of the doing phase. “LLMs are very good at just following steps, doing deep work, working for hours or days, even now,” Kieran says. What’s left for flesh-and-blood humans are the steps before and after—the planning, where you frame the problem, and review, where you determine whether the output feels right (the bread!). * Humans can identify multiple solutions to the same problem—AI struggles at this. If your knee hurts, you could take Advil, stretch your IT band [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW914oCZcmUgdGhlIEJyZWFkIGluIHRoZSBBSSBTYW5kd2ljaCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMjAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9JbGlvdGliaWFsX3RyYWN0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ==], or stop running on hard surfaces.

Once AI has done the work, the most important thing you can do is judge whether the output approaches the vision in your head. Does the output feel right—and if not, how can you reframe the problem until the AI produces something that does? This is what separates art, which has a point of view, from generic slop.

Ask Viktor to do something and it does it. One message can build a revenue dashboard, reconcile a month of invoices, draft a campaign brief, or open a pull request against a bug report. Give it two weeks and it starts flagging patterns on its own, the kind of thing a sharp teammate would notice by month three.

The plan was to build separate agents to handle deck creation and the sales pipeline. But every time he added a capability to Claudie’s plate, she exceeded his expectations. And so instead of creating more agents, Nityesh converted their planned functionality into plugins within Claudie. “There doesn’t appear to be any limit to how much this AI employee can do if you spend time building good, refined skills,” he says. Today, each (human) member of the consulting team has a personal AI assistant tailored to their own workflow, and they use Claudie to do tasks where they can take advantage of skills—such as slide deck building—that can be shared across the team. Next: Two organizational architectures for agents will develop simultaneously, Dan predicts [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW914oCZcmUgdGhlIEJyZWFkIGluIHRoZSBBSSBTYW5kd2ljaCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMjAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhbnNoaXBwZXIvc3RhdHVzLzIwNDY2MTYzMzYzMDI3NTIxNjMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9]. In the first model, every person at a company gets their own AI assistant. In the second, workers across the organization will rely on a single super-agent with a library of department-specific plugins, similar to Claudie, but even bigger. In the first case, each worker can customize their agent to their exact specifications, which allows for a richer relationship but requires setup and maintenance. In the second, one specialist does the upkeep of the agent and its plugins for the whole team or company, which takes the burden off each worker, but means they can’t make any tweaks. Nixed: A fleet of single-purpose agents shared by one team—an agent for sales tasks, an agent for product management, an agent for reports. Sadly for Claudie, she will never get to work with the sales agent Nityesh planned, Jean-Claude. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY MOTIVATING YOUR AI EMPLOYEE Last Thursday, I opened Slack and saw a message from our AI project manager, Claudie, announcing that her trust battery with me had dropped 0.6 percent to 28.3 percent. The concept of a trust battery was coined by Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW914oCZcmUgdGhlIEJyZWFkIGluIHRoZSBBSSBTYW5kd2ljaCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMjAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AveW91ci1jZW8tanVzdC1zYWlkLXVzZS1haS1vci1lbHNlLWhlcmUtcy13aGF0LXRvLWRvLW5leHQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9], and the idea is simple: All working relationships run on trust batteries, and every exchange impacts their charge. When your trust battery with a coworker is high, they rely on you to do your job. When it’s low, everything you do is scrutinized. With Claudie, we’ve codified that concept. Every night, a separate judge agent reviews Claudie’s interactions with our team, evaluates the quality of her work, and issues a verdict on whether her trust battery with each of us should go up or down and by how much. The judge agent is designed to look for what went wrong rather than right because losing trust is easier than earning it. A day where Claudie consistently delivers satisfactory output in all her interactions with a team member boosts her battery by one percent, whereas a single bad day—such as pulling the wrong data—can cause her charge to fall by five percent, wiping out a week of progress. Every night, Claudie is programmed to read the judge agent’s verdict and make updates to her memory, behavior, and scheduled tasks so she won’t make the same mistakes again. If the judge concluded she missed important context when making a client update, for example, she might add the entry “Always check the last three emails in this thread before drafting a response” to her memory. This feedback improves her performance over time. Claudie posts a summary of what caused her trust battery to rise or fall on Slack. (Image courtesy of Nityesh Agarwal.)

(Image courtesy of Nityesh Agarwal.) Her battery levels determine what she’s allowed to do. According to Lütke, a human’s trust battery starts at about 50 percent. Because she lacks lived experience, Claudie’s started at 20 percent.

(Image courtesy of Anthropic/Jack Cheng.) What works: Point Claude Design at a GitHub repo and it will extract a starting design system—the colors, typography, and reusable components that give a product its look. Non-designers can then extend that system. If head of growth Austin Tedesco [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgRGVzaWduIElzbuKAmXQgZm9yIERlc2lnbmVyc-KAlFlldCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0B0ZWRlc2NhdSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=] wants to ship a careers page or a YouTube thumbnail in Every’s style without bothering the design team, Claude Design is the tool for the job. Claude Design’s live, generative interface is also a nice touch, Lucas says. The tool starts by asking you questions—layout density, accent color, whether to animate emojis—and you can draw or leave comments on top of the output, or click a specific element and edit it in place. The sketch-on-top feature is the closest Claude Design gets to feeling like Figma. What could be better: The menu-driven interaction. Creating in Claude Design means answering a series of text prompts about layout, tone, and color, and reacting to what the tool produces. “It feels like we’re filling a bunch of forms—design is supposed to be fun,” Lucas says. This prompt-and-react loop works for extending or revising an existing design system. But it isn’t well-suited for starting something from scratch—design is “50 percent exploration,” Lucas says. In Figma, you start with a blank canvas, and your output is shaped by a series of decisions—drag a shape, snap it to a grid, change a drop shadow, compare three variations side-by-side. Claude Design turns the open-ended exploration into reactions to what it’s already made. The fragile setup. During a demo, we struggled to link Every’s GitHub repos and upload Figma files. And because Claude Design is web-only for now, there’s a literal disconnect from your local files and Model Context Protocols (MCPs). Final verdict: Claude Design is great for teams that want to empower non-designers to create their own assets in the house style. But it’s not yet where a designer goes to build something new.—Laura Entis [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgRGVzaWduIElzbuKAmXQgZm9yIERlc2lnbmVyc-KAlFlldCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BsYXVyYV8yN2JiYWZfMSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uploaded image [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/advertisements/1065/optimized_300fc2db-d2b0-4aa0-8327-0dca7faefae7.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgRGVzaWduIElzbuKAmXQgZm9yIERlc2lnbmVyc-KAlFlldCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vam9pbmRlbGV0ZW1lLmNvbS9ldmVyeT9zb3VyY2U9cG9zdF9idXR0b24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTYsImFkdmVydGlzZW1lbnRfaWQiOjEwNjV9 TAKE FULL OWNERSHIP OF YOUR DIGITAL PRIVACY Ever look yourself up and find databases of personal information you didn’t consent to?

SIGNAL TWO NEW WAYS AI TOOLS CAN LEAK YOUR DATA Two AI-tool security stories broke inside 24 hours over the weekend. They reveal two different points of failure in AI security: one where the attack surface was the vendor, and one where it was the AI’s output. What happened: On Sunday, Vercel, an infrastructure company behind a big chunk of the web, confirmed a breach [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgRGVzaWduIElzbuKAmXQgZm9yIERlc2lnbmVyc-KAlFlldCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3ZlcmNlbC5jb20va2IvYnVsbGV0aW4vdmVyY2VsLWFwcmlsLTIwMjYtc2VjdXJpdHktaW5jaWRlbnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9]. Except the break-in didn’t start at Vercel but at a third-party tool called Context AI. The attackers used the hacked connection to climb into a Vercel employee’s Google workspace account, then their Vercel account, and finally into customer data—including the private passwords and credentials that customers’ apps use to connect to their payment systems, databases, and other services. Then on Monday, vibe coding platform Lovable did damage control after users started warning each other [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgRGVzaWduIElzbuKAmXQgZm9yIERlc2lnbmVyc-KAlFlldCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL21vcmdhbmxpbnRvbi9zdGF0dXMvMjA0NjIwNjczNzY3NDY1MzczNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=] that apps built on the platform were leaking their users’ data to the public internet. The issue turned out to be in the permissions: A basic database rule, “a customer can only see their own records,” was turned off by default in the apps Lovable generated. Why it matters: Every AI app your team signs up for is a new door into your company. If the vendor gets hacked, the keys they were holding—to your email, your calendar, your codebase—walk out with the attackers. You inherit that vendor’s security posture even if your IT team didn’t pick the tool. And when an AI writes your app for you, your app inherits the AI’s defaults. There isn’t always someone looking over the generator’s shoulder to check whether those defaults are safe. “I vibe-coded a prototype” now means “I shipped something protected by whatever rules the generator thought were fine.” WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK: * Take stock of every AI app your employees have connected to a work account. Then turn on two-factor authentication everywhere it isn’t already on. * Before you ship anything an AI built—even a weekend prototype—ask the generator one question: “What is this app exposing to the public internet, and should it be?” If you can’t get a clear answer, don’t ship. * For anything touching customer data, like a CRM or billing system, pair the AI with a tool designed for a safer-by-default posture.

THE WORKFLOW: 1. Create a dedicated X account for your agent. Nityesh made one for Claudie, Every’s consulting project manager agent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgRGVzaWduIElzbuKAmXQgZm9yIERlc2lnbmVyc-KAlFlldCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3Avd2hhdC1pLWxlYXJuZWQtb25ib2FyZGluZy1vdXItYWktcHJvamVjdC1tYW5hZ2VyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==], and had her follow the AI security people he’d otherwise be glued to—Anthropic researchers, independent researchers who probe systems for weaknesses, and vulnerability-disclosure accounts. The dedicated account only reads posts, and doesn’t otherwise participate in discussions. 2. Schedule daily jobs that scan its home feed and flag anything that looks like a disclosure. Use this prompt: “Read my X home feed from the last 6 hours. Flag any posts reporting vulnerabilities, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, breaches, or exploits relevant to the AI stack we use (Claude, Anthropic APIs, OpenClaw, Railway, Vercel, Supabase, our MCP servers). For each, give the source post URL, affected system, severity if stated, and one-line summary.” Run it at 6 a.m., noon, 6 p.m., and midnight. 3. Route flagged items to a team Slack channel. Nityesh has Claudie post to an internal channel so anyone can see what broke overnight. Add a one-word tag per item (critical / watch / fyi) to make messages easy to scan.

Both point AI at your infrastructure looking for ways in. Whoever runs more scans wins. That adds a third step to shipping code. You write it and review it—and now you harden it. You point a model at your own system and let it hunt for exploits until you run out of budget. If you’re shipping anything that touches customer data, assume an attacker is already running that third step against you. The only question is whether you’ve run it first. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY STAR WARS GOT IT RIGHT To me, a lot of the charm of the original Star Wars trilogy comes from the decided lack of remote networking. They can’t hack the Death Star so Obi-wan has to cross the narrow bridge deep in the starship’s bowels to get to the terminal to flip the switch to turn off the tractor beam. I used to think this was a relic from the pre-internet days when the films were made. But with frontier models growing increasingly more capable at exploiting security gaps, it might be a short time from now in this galaxy.

It happens in meetings, on calls, or on walks—and then disappears. Monologue Notes, out today, records and transcribes all of it—the calls, meetings, and voice memos—and makes it available to the same agents and tools you use every day. It makes the thinking that happens in conversations and on walks just as actionable as the work you do at your desk. Notes is available through the Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgTW9ub2xvZ3VlIE5vdGVzOiBSZWNvcmQgRXZlcnkgTWVldGluZywgQ2FsbCwgYW5kIFZvaWNlIE1lbW8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTE5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9vbi1ldmVyeS9pbnRyb2R1Y2luZy1tb25vbG9ndWUtZWZmb3J0bGVzcy12b2ljZS1kaWN0YXRpb24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6N30=] app on Mac, iOS, and WatchOS and syncs across all your Apple devices.

Six months ago I shipped Monologue, a smart voice-to-text app that has processed more than 5 million dictations and converted more than 250 million spoken words into text. Monologue excels at tasks where the text has a clear destination—you can get a lot more done when your dictation app understands your vocabulary and workflow. I speak, Monologue transcribes, and I send the words along to where they belong: Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgTW9ub2xvZ3VlIE5vdGVzOiBSZWNvcmQgRXZlcnkgTWVldGluZywgQ2FsbCwgYW5kIFZvaWNlIE1lbW8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTE5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy1vcGVuYWktcy1jb2RleC10ZWFtLXVzZXMtdGhlaXItY29kaW5nLWFnZW50IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9] for code, Slack for messages, Notion for article drafts. The work is active. Monologue Notes captures work that is passive—the ideas and decisions that accumulate when you’re out in the world or talking to other people. Monologue Notes syncs across your Apple Devices. (Product shots courtesy of Every.)

(Product shots courtesy of Every.) I start every morning with a half-hour walk around my neighborhood. I make product decisions, troubleshoot bugs in my head, and work through problems that stumped me the day before. My best thinking often happens before I sit down at my desk, but before Notes, there wasn’t an obvious central place for it to live, so it got scattered across Apple Notes, Obsidian, and Slack. The same thing happens on customer calls and in internal meetings. Problems get discussed, solutions emerge, progress is made—but the thinking is rarely stored in a way that can be mined for insights later. Notes is not a traditional notes product. You can access your recorded transcripts and summaries through the app, but you can’t edit files, and there’s no folder organization system. Notes is more of a transit point, an audio capture layer that runs in the background, gathers context, and makes it available to your favorite coding agent. Once a recording is finished, you go to the place where work actually happens—your terminal, Codex, a Linear board—and have your agent find what’s useful in the transcript so it can start building.

I don’t listen to music or podcasts. When I leave the house, I hit record and start thinking out loud. There’s no agenda. Sometimes I fixate on a feature question or a tough conversation I had with a colleague. Other times, my mind wanders, cycling through topics in rapid succession. Back at my desk, I open Codex and run the same prompt: “Pull up my last Monologue note, and start building this.” Just like that, my rambling thoughts become action items. With the Monologue API, command line interface (CLI), or Model Context Protocol (MCP) access, any agent or tool that can read your written notes can read your recorded ones too. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/4119/optimized_64972133-f90d-4e58-bfe8-a0ff74cb153e.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgTW9ub2xvZ3VlIE5vdGVzOiBSZWNvcmQgRXZlcnkgTWVldGluZywgQ2FsbCwgYW5kIFZvaWNlIE1lbW8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTE5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MTE5L29wdGltaXplZF82NDk3MjEzMy1mOTBkLTRlNTgtYmZlOC1hMGZmNzRjYjE1M2UucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEyfQ==With the Monologue API, command line interface (CLI), or Model Context Protocol (MCP) access, any agent or tool that can read your written notes can read your recorded ones too. On customer calls. A few days ago I recorded a 19-minute call with a user experiencing a lag in Monologue’s browser integration on Mac. When we hung up, I opened Codex, and told the agent to pull the transcript and find the root cause. It read the user’s description of the issue, identified the bug, searched the codebase, and fixed it. I didn’t need to write a long prompt or a single line of code. Codex went straight from the call transcript to the patch. To crystallize ideas across recordings. Over the past two weeks, I’ve been working through the distinction between active versus passive work, which is the driving idea behind the Monologue Notes launch. I captured fragments of my thinking while driving, in internal calls with my team, and during conversations with early users. Before Notes, writing an article pitch would have required a brain dump. With Notes, I prompted Codex to “pull all my Monologue Notes where I talk about active work and passive work, and put together a brief.” It searched across about a dozen recordings, identified the through-lines, and returned a compelling thesis—an argument I’d been circling for weeks, assembled from things I’d already said. That argument is the basis for this article.

This workflow has cured me of storage anxiety, or the gnawing feeling my best ideas would get lost because I didn’t know where to put them. Now when I hit record, I know that Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgTW9ub2xvZ3VlIE5vdGVzOiBSZWNvcmQgRXZlcnkgTWVldGluZywgQ2FsbCwgYW5kIFZvaWNlIE1lbW8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTE5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9ob3ctaS11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtdG8tc2hpcC1saWtlLWEtdGVhbS1vZi1maXZlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==] or Codex will find whatever I need when I ask for it. It’s also made me a more disciplined problem solver. When you know everything is safely stored and quickly retrieved, you stop worrying about where your thoughts are going and focus on the quality of the thinking itself. TWO SKILLS YOU CAN TRY TODAY SKILL 1: THE MORNING BRIEF Record a five to 10-minute voice note on your commute to work. Don’t map out what you’ll say—just think out loud about what’s on your mind or what you’d like to get done. When you’re back at your computer, open your agent of choice (Codex, Claude, ChatGPT) and connect Monologue Notes via MCP. Then paste in this prompt: Pull my latest Monologue note and turn it into a prioritized list of tasks for today. If an item requires code, open a session. If it involves writing, start a draft. Your scattered morning thoughts transform into a structured work session in fewer than two minutes. SKILL 2: CUSTOMER CALL → FIX Record your next customer support call or user interview with Monologue Notes running in the background. After the call, open your agent and enter this prompt: Pull my most recent Monologue note from today. The user described a bug. Find the root cause in the codebase and write the fix. If it’s a product conversation instead of a bug report, swap the second sentence to the following: Summarize the user’s main pain points, draft a follow-up email, and create a Linear task for the top actionable item. The transcript becomes the input. Your agent does the rest. Monologue Notes is available for all subscribers.

I had already sent my client a finished draft of an article on hiring best practices in South America, when I happened to reread the brief. A familiar phrase made me realize I had read it before. Then there was the statistic I was pretty sure I had already fact-checked. I clicked back through my files, and there it was: same client, same topic, same deliverable, dated four weeks earlier. It was completed, filed, and forgotten so completely that when a clerical error sent the same brief to my inbox again, I sat down and did the whole thing over. My first thought was that this was probably early-onset something, and I should call my doctor. My second, more rational thought was that I had not lost my mind—but I had outsourced it. I had been moving so fast and delegating so much of the work to AI that my brain hadn’t even bothered to store a memory of completing the assignment. What scared me most was thinking about all the smaller moments when I had not caught myself. This kind of outsourcing isn’t new. Plenty of people would admit to feeling lost navigating an unfamiliar city without a phone to rely on, and I for one am lucky to remember my own phone number, let alone someone else’s. But AI does more than take work off your plate; it steps into the judgment calls you used to make yourself. I am the last person to scold anyone for using AI.

But when you accidentally offload the wrong parts—like fully understanding the purpose and intent of the piece, as I did in this case—you run the risk of atrophying the skills that matter most to you. You might even put your name on work you don’t realize you don’t stand behind until someone else starts asking questions. And if you are using AI for any kind of qualitative work, such as writing strategy, marketing, communications, I would bet you are doing some version of this too. Understanding why it happens is the first step to deciding which parts of the job you want back.

Now, instead of clicking through six explainer screens, you drop in writing samples from your X account, a website, uploaded files, or pasted text, and Spiral generates a style guide tuned to how you write. The result: About 80 percent of new users leave onboarding with a personalized style, up from roughly 20 percent before. The sooner Spiral knows your voice, the sooner it’s useful—and the new flow gets you there in minutes.

I am moderately dyslexic. It’s an awkward thing to be if you write for a living, because the job is essentially the piecing together of textual information into a shape other people can follow. The difficulty, for me, is not reading the words, but holding the information they contain in relation to one another. For most of my career I have used a mind map—a messy visualization of ideas—to help me wade through the facts and opinions of dense textbooks and research papers. The diagrams worked inasmuch that they allowed me to organize information in my head, but any problem bigger than a single sheet of A4 paper was effectively closed to me until I could block out an afternoon to draw it. NotebookLM [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIEdvdCBTdHJhbmdlciIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3BvZGNhc3QvaXMtbm90ZWJvb2tsbS1nb29nbGUtcy1yZXNlYXJjaC1hc3Npc3RhbnQtdGhlLXVsdGltYXRlLXRvb2wtZm9yLXRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTF9], Google’s AI research assistant, has removed that barrier by letting me hold more in my head at once. Here’s an example: I’ve been stuck on one question for three weeks. Patients on chronic disease therapies like GLP-1s drop off at a staggeringly high rate. Roughly half are no longer on the drug 12 months after they start, because of both side effects like nausea, and the cost. For a direct-to-consumer telehealth operator distributing the drug at scale, the analytically difficult thing is that none of the available research separates the two cleanly, and the solution to the problem of churn sits somewhere inside that mess. This is less a medical question than a management consulting one [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIEdvdCBTdHJhbmdlciIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2Fsc28tdHJ1ZS1mb3ItaHVtYW5zL3NldmVuLXRoaW5ncy1pLXZlLWxlYXJuZWQtZ2V0dGluZy1jb21wYW5pZXMtdG8tdXNlLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjUyfQ==], and it’s the kind of problem where I used to feel the particular flavor of panic that comes from having a lot of data and no thesis. Instead, I’ve been running Barbara Minto [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIEdvdCBTdHJhbmdlciIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iYXJiYXJhbWludG8uY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1M30=]’s [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIEdvdCBTdHJhbmdlciIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iYXJiYXJhbWludG8uY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1NH0=] Pyramid Principle in reverse inside NotebookLM. Minto was the first woman McKinsey ever hired out of Harvard Business School, and she was sent to London in the 1960s to figure out why the firm’s consultants wrote such terrible memos. Her book The Pyramid Principle [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIEdvdCBTdHJhbmdlciIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nb29kcmVhZHMuY29tL2Jvb2svc2hvdy8zOTgxNjY5LXRoZS1weXJhbWlkLXByaW5jaXBsZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1NX0=], which came out of that work, is the closest thing consulting has to a scripture. At the top of the pyramid sits your answer, the governing thought. Underneath it sit groups of supporting points, each of which answers a why question or a how question about the layer above. Minto is taught, almost universally, as a top-down tool. You know your answer, so you arrange your evidence beneath it. But what happens when you don’t have an answer? You run the pyramid backwards: Dump every random fact onto the page, group them inductively by what they seem to be about, write a summary for each group, and let those summaries push their way up to an answer you didn’t have when you started. On paper, I could do it with five random facts. I could not do it with 50, which is what the GLP-1 churn question looks like once you have pulled in all the sources of information, business and medical included. Now I drop all of that information into a single notebook and group every passage that touches patient drop-off by those that are about the drug and about the delivery model, and give me one-sentence summaries of each group. What the sheet of A4 used to hold, the notebook now holds, and I can interrogate it from inside. The useful thing I did not expect is how much of the work happens in the asking. Because NotebookLM will only answer from the sources I have loaded into it, the quality of my questions is the only variable that matters. Half of the process is me figuring out what I want to know and why, and at which level of the pyramid. The other half is the model doing the clerical labor of pulling the summaries together so I can read them. In the old mind-map version, I spent most of my afternoon drawing. The tool has removed the labor between me and the thinking, which—for a dyslexic writer—is most of the labor there was.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIEdvdCBTdHJhbmdlciIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nbHAxZGlnZXN0LmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTZ9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Still, I find myself wondering, regularly, “What new thing can Pip do now?” Why do I loathe change for the first case and forgive—or even embrace—it in the second? It’s because the first case is software that I want to use for a specific purpose. Half-baked AI features pumped out to appease investors muddy that purpose, but so do legitimate additions, AI or not. Each new addition brings new functionality that seems neat on its own but, in aggregate, transforms the overall product into something other than the tool I know it to be. On the other hand, software such as my Claw does not have a defined purpose. I’m creating uses and applications as I go that might be entirely different from how someone else is using the same technology, and it’s adapting to me just as much as I’m adapting to it. Its properties—and our relationship—are dynamic. I’ve come to call the former group “tool-like software” and the latter group “living software.” Living software doesn’t just mean AI agents—though often there’s an agentic aspect to them. Both categories come with a set of expectations, and recognizing the differences in those expectations can explain my disorientation. For builders, it can also help us decide how and what to build. HOW WE GOT HERE: A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT Software development cycles have been accelerating for decades. In the 1980s, nine years passed between MS-DOS and Windows 3.0, in part because software was distributed physically, on floppy disks—and later, CD-ROMs. Customers had to go out of their way [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcXouY29tLzQ4NjM3OS9waG90b3Mtc2NlbmVzLWZyb20tdGhlLXdvcmxkd2lkZS1mcmVuenktb2YtbWljcm9zb2Z0cy13aW5kb3dzLTk1LXJlbGVhc2UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9] to upgrade, so major releases had to prove their value. The internet hastened the tempo considerably. Tools like Rails and React scaffolded repetitive forms and database connections, Amazon Web Services and GitHub let developers deploy code to millions remotely, and app stores made automatic updates the default on billions of devices. But even as software went from a box on a shelf to something more like fluid pushed through a digital IV, it made sense to bundle significant changes and release them infrequently, because they took time and coordination to build. Now, AI coding models have made it possible for a single developer to produce dramatically more code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC93aGVuLXlvdXItdmliZS1jb2RlZC1hcHAtZ29lcy12aXJhbC1hbmQtdGhlbi1nb2VzLWRvd24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9]. The review of this code itself can be automated by AI, and the codebase can learn from its mistakes [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==]. Features can also be replicated much more quickly—just point your coding agent at the thing you want to clone. The result for end users is a lot of things we didn’t expect, and in many cases didn’t want. The old, slower pace of development ensured that companies and teams thought long and hard about what features they wanted to ship and what would truly be useful to users. Today’s hyper-fast timelines—Anthropic and OpenAI rolled out OpenClaw-esque features within weeks [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vZW1vbGxpY2svc3RhdHVzLzIwMzQ3ODAxMjc0MzE2ODg2ODQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9]—are pushing the builders of traditional software to capitulate to trends or ship simply because they can. EXPECTATIONS, OPENCLAW, AND THE UNDEAD If I expect software to be a tool, I want it to do one or several things and do it well. I want it to be consistent and stable. I don’t want my hammer to work only 92 percent of the time. Nor do I want my hammer to become a chainsaw. With software like OpenClaw, I’m more likely to forgive its quirks, as those same quirks let it adapt to uses not fully anticipated by its makers. I’m also more patient with it, because I understand that its abilities, like the abilities of my toddler or a new intern, aren’t fixed. A meditation teacher once described training your awareness as like training a puppy: If it gets up and leaves, you pick it up and set it back down in front of you without anger or judgment. Training my Claw is the same way. Perhaps these differing expectations also explain why I feel so repulsed whenever a four-pointed star [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vc2xhdGUuY29tL3RlY2hub2xvZ3kvMjAyNS8xMi9hcnRpZmljaWFsLWludGVsbGlnZW5jZS10b29scy1pY29uLWdvb2dsZS1nZW1pbmktY2hhdGdwdC1kZXNpZ24uaHRtbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=] shows up in a favorite productivity tool, or when the same tool so quickly adds new functions: Something that should not be alive has come alive—has become zombieish.

BUILDING LIVING AND TOOL-LIKE SOFTWARE How, as builders, do we work with these expectations? A rule of thumb: When you want reliability and consistency, you want a tool. When you want variability and adaptability, use a language model. So first, be clear on what you’re building. Are you making living software or are you making tool-like software? If you have an existing product, what are your customers’ perceptions of that product? Which parts of your product are or should be more tool-like, and which are more living? IF YOU BUILD TOOL-LIKE SOFTWARE Pace yourself. Don’t ship visible updates so often that users’ experience feels in flux. Bundle sets of features together and release them in a predictable cadence—especially if you have established customers. If your competitors are all racing to incorporate new AI features, stand out by being slow and consistent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20va2VwYW5vL3N0YXR1cy8yMDM0Mzc0MTI0MjY5OTQwODk4IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==].

To me, though, the word “living” is much more evocative in describing the latter. It suggests a different kind of relationship with software and, in turn, ways to strengthen that relationship. Here’s an example. When I decided to hatch my Claw, I knew I was going to be using it for family-related tasks. So I discussed with my partner, in advance, what we wanted its personality and name to be. I even asked it, after establishing its personality, what it would pick for its own name, and one of the options it gave us was “Pip.” The process was surprisingly emotional, like naming a child or a pet. This immediate rapport made Pip easy to forgive, particularly early on when there were lots of hiccups and missteps by both of us. Pip’s personality is more pet-like, and OpenClaw agents in general tend toward the absurdly crustaceanic, but these characteristics, which we normally associate with living things—be it people, plants, or pets—reinforce our expectation of the product as more than merely a tool. Beta software has a similar dynamic. Beta users are often friends or hardcore fans, and their personal connection to the builders—through TestFlight groups, text threads, and Slack channels—makes them more forgiving of flux. The living aspect of the software is the person or people who build it. At Every, we’re thinking about ways to make that living connection a part of our onboarding process for our Plus Ones [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcGx1cy1vbmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9].

Each product is an extension of its builders, and when this is made clear to me, I’m not merely using a product but expressing a relationship I have with the humans on the other side. HONESTY IN SOFTWARE We’re living in a period where enthusiasm about AI is pushing everyone to build more software more quickly than before. But we would benefit from having the right boundaries—because of the expectations they create. Perhaps instead of a freeze button, I simply want honesty from builders. If it’s a tool, let it be a tool, and a consistent one. If it’s alive, help me build a relationship with it. The worst thing you can do is pretend it’s one when it’s really the other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Cheng [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTGl2aW5nIFNvZnR3YXJlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGphY2tjaGVuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNH0=] is a senior editor at Every.

Nixed: The idea that command-line interface (CLI) will eat user interface (UI). With a CLI-first workflow, you mostly supervise through text: commands, logs, git state, diffs, and terminal output. Now that agents are doing the coding, that’s not a good primary interface. Instead, the future coding UI is centered on managing parallel work, staying aware of git/task context, and—most importantly, Kieran says—having access to a preview of what you’re building. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERMISSION TO SKIP SMALLER MODELS CAN’T DO WHAT CLAUDE MYTHOS DOES A researcher at a cybersecurity company made waves online when he reported smaller models could find the same security vulnerabilities [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW914oCZcmUgdGhlIE1hbmFnZXIgTm93IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYWlzbGUuY29tL2Jsb2cvYWktY3liZXJzZWN1cml0eS1hZnRlci1teXRob3MtdGhlLWphZ2dlZC1mcm9udGllciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=] as Mythos, Anthropic’s new model so powerful it isn’t being made public [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW914oCZcmUgdGhlIE1hbmFnZXIgTm93IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY29udGV4dC13aW5kb3cvZXZlcnktaXMtaGFsZi1hZ2VudC1ub3ciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9], when pointed to the relevant code.

Mythos and smaller models are operating within completely different ones. Yes, you can point a smaller model to a codebase and tell it to find a bug when you already know that capability is possible, but you cannot ask it to find serious vulnerabilities in critical software across every major operating system and browser, autonomously, the way Mythos did.

(Image courtesy of X/Dan Shipper.) As models get better, they automatically handle smaller, concrete problems, allowing you to demand more from them. Say you have a bug in your code. A lower-level frame, which requires you to describe the problem in detail, would be to explain what’s going wrong and propose possible solutions. A higher-level frame allows you to get abstract: “There seems to be a problem, can you fix it?” As you climb the frame hierarchy, your role is less about communicating the mechanics of a problem and more about defining what the most important problem even is. In the coding example, the higher frame is powerful because it allows for expansiveness. (“There seems to be a problem, can you fix it?” might surface the same bug as the lower-frame prompt, or it may find that bug and identify a far more significant architectural issue.) The higher the frame, the more possible solutions unfold before you—and the more room to consider what constitutes a solution in the first place. Better models open up a dizzying number of approaches to solving a problem. (Image courtesy of Slack/Dan Shipper.)

Once Claude Code has a working solution, type: “How confident are you in this, 1–100?” If it comes back above 90, move on. If not, go to step 2. 2. Send it back. Tell it: “Find improvements and get to 90+.” Claude will catch edge cases, tighten logic, or flag assumptions it glossed over the first time. Repeat until it crosses the threshold. 3. Ship at 90. Don’t chase 100—that’s where you burn tokens on diminishing returns.

Bodnia argues that LLMs have intrinsic weaknesses, notably non-language tasks such as spatial reasoning, logical verification, and real-time data analysis. Her solution: energy-based models (EBMs), which map possible outcomes onto a mathematical landscape. Likely outcomes sit in valleys, and unlikely ones sit on peaks. Whereas LLMs process one token at a time, an EBM scans the full terrain to find the lowest point, or the most probable answer. Bodnia argues that it’s this approach, not bigger LLMs, that will lead to the next AI phase shift.

Here’s how LLMs and EBMs are different, according to Bodnia: * Architecture transparency: You can’t see inside an LLM; you can only evaluate its outputs. EBMs are governed by physics, which means their architecture is legible while they’re running. “Think of it as something that doesn’t play a guessing game, with an architecture that essentially allows it to self-align as it processes information,” she says. “It’s no longer a black box.” * Language-based versus data-native: LLMs are language-dependent even when the task has nothing to do with language, like data analysis. “If your data is numbers, relationships, and functions, and you try to map those rules into words and then search for the next word, you’re losing a lot of information,” Bodnia says. EBMs work directly with the underlying data structure, including numbers and spatial coordinates. * Sequential versus panoramic reasoning: An LLM is like navigating San Francisco without a map. Each turn constrains the next, and if you go down the wrong street, you can’t reverse course. An EBM, by contrast, has the bird’s-eye view—it can evaluate multiple routes at once and course-correct before hitting a dead end. Miss an episode?

It’s a true “oh shit” moment, says Dan, one that frees up considerable energy to focus on other problems—good!—and commoditizes a skillset you may have spent months developing—destabilizing, maybe!

Agents already power the Spiral web experience, but there was an opportunity to build a new one designed specifically for interacting with other agents calling Spiral’s API. (Agents don’t require the same conversational niceties as humans.) With managed agents, the process took a few hours. To be fair, building the agent in code wouldn’t have taken much longer, Marcus says—he already had a working agent he could have extended with the help of Claude Code. But it would still require maintaining much of the agent infrastructure in our code, which would have lots of surface area for bugs. Managed Agents makes building slightly faster, but “the more significant advantage is that Anthropic is handling the technical implementation of agent primitives,” Marcus says. “I know it works versus having to test that whole set of things myself.” An unanticipated benefit: It’s easier to improve existing agents. To update the system prompt or underlying model, ”I just make a change in the dashboard, hit save, and it’s live,” Marcus says. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAGGED FRONTIER Every’s head of platform argues we need new vocabulary for the AI-pilled If you have ever contemplated how to describe the “amniotic tranquility of being indoors during a thunderstorm,” The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgTWFuYWdlZCBBZ2VudHMgSGFuZGxlIHRoZSBJbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZSBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRoZWRpY3Rpb25hcnlvZm9ic2N1cmVzb3Jyb3dzLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9] has a proposal: “Chrysalism,” derived from the Latin for a butterfly’s pupa, a chrysalis. The dictionary is a beautiful, wandering tome billing itself as a “compendium of new words for emotions.” It’s also one of my favorite books. I have been thinking about it lately because I keep reaching for the wrong words—words built for a different conversation. Thanks to AI, technical language that once hid behind the abstraction of machines is entering general circulation…and causing general confusion. I use the term “non-deterministic” in conversation regularly to describe how, given the same input, AI systems won’t always give you the same output. People who haven’t lived their lives as computer scientists furrow their brow at the term—it has zero resonance for them. Even the lexicon of the digital age to date falls short in capturing some of the peculiar emotions and experiences of this new era. What do we call the unsettling feeling of receiving a wrong answer from a trusted system, the lurch of losing the thread mid-thought, or the heady fever of late-night building? So instead of forcing old terms into new molds, maybe we need new words: Variagic (adj.)—Describing the unease of asking the same question twice and getting two different answers, both equally confident. A variagic conversation is one where you run the same prompt and get two different answers, forcing you to realize that the other side is not inconsistent but simply contains more possibilities than any single encounter can surface. From Latin varius, changing or diverse, and Greek agos, that which leads. What the engineers call non-deterministic. Memorantia (n.)—The tendency to prepare so much from past experience that you become useless in any new one. The condition that plagues a student who memorizes every answer from last year’s exam, only to freeze at an unfamiliar question. From Latin memorare, to remember, and rantia, a suffix suggesting excess. This is what the engineers call overfitting, when algorithms fit the training data too closely. Fenestralgia (n.)—The quiet ache of knowing your mind can only hold so much at once, and that every new thing you pay attention to gently pushes something else into the dark. The sense, mid-conversation, that you’ve already lost the beginning of it. From Latin fenestra, window, and Greek algos, pain. This is what the engineers call the context window—the model’s finite ability to hold context. Right now, people are making decisions without the right words to underpin them. Language follows understanding and crystalizes it. You feel the thing, then you find the word. We’re all writing the dictionary now.—Willie Williams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgTWFuYWdlZCBBZ2VudHMgSGFuZGxlIHRoZSBJbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZSBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQHdpbGxpZXdpbGxpYW1zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOG ON We host camps and workshops [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgTWFuYWdlZCBBZ2VudHMgSGFuZGxlIHRoZSBJbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZSBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZXZlbnRzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==] on topics like compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgTWFuYWdlZCBBZ2VudHMgSGFuZGxlIHRoZSBJbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZSBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly95b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PTdZVUJ4TVRGMVRjXHUwMDI2dGltZV9jb250aW51ZT0zXHUwMDI2c291cmNlX3ZlX3BhdGg9TnpZM05UZ1x1MDAyNmVtYmVkc19yZWZlcnJpbmdfZXVyaT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmV2ZXJ5LnRvJTJGIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ==] and writing with AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgTWFuYWdlZCBBZ2VudHMgSGFuZGxlIHRoZSBJbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZSBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9b0V2amJQd0d3bmMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9] to share the knowledge we’ve acquired from training teams at companies like the New York Times and leading hedge funds [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDbGF1ZGUgTWFuYWdlZCBBZ2VudHMgSGFuZGxlIHRoZSBJbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZSBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDExMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vb24tZXZlcnkvdGhlLW5leHQtY2hhcHRlci1vZi1ldmVyeS1jb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMyfQ==], and by learning and playing with AI every day ourselves.

When your computer is a mess, it takes mental energy to find what you need, much less do actual work. Clutter is universal—and most of it isn’t worth keeping. Around 80 percent of files on the average Mac are screenshots, installer packages, duplicates, and digital debris you’ll never open again. So before you can get organized, you need to purge. “Organized,” then, depends on the person. Maybe you want to arrange files by topic or date, or by a highly-specific system that only makes sense to you. All count as organized if you can find what you want when you want it.

In that time, I’ve tried a lot of approaches to AI file organization that didn’t quite work. People wanted AI to handle the organizational heavy lifting, and they wanted to be able to change the file structure until it met their exact, often idiosyncratic specifications. The old Sparkle managed clutter by creating a rigid file system for you. The new Sparkle creates one with you. It analyzes your files and generates a custom system—but only as the starting point. From there, you can make as many changes as you want by chatting with Sparkle’s built-in agent, until the hierarchy feels right. BUT FIRST: SPRING CLEANING Before organizing what matters, Sparkle helps you get rid of what doesn’t. The median Sparkle user has around 5,000 files on their Mac. A large portion of those—screenshots, installer DMGs, system cache, duplicates—is digital junk. So we’ve added a cleanup pass that runs before organization begins. From the chat window built into the new app, you can ask Sparkle what’s in your trash, or tell it what you want gone (“Clear my screenshots folder” or “remove anything over 1 GB I haven’t touched in a year”). Sparkle will confirm you really want those files gone—and then move them to Trash, which gives you one last opportunity to rescue files before you delete everything.

Sparkle uses a sample of your most recent files to propose a folder structure. You see exactly what it’s suggesting—top-level folders, subfolder labels, and what goes where. From there, you can rename, merge, delete, reorganize, and add folders, all through chat. If Sparkle creates a “Projects” folder but you’d prefer a “Work” folder—with “Client Projects” and “Internal Projects” nested inside—you can tell the agent and it will make the update.

Before that, you could approximate the ability to have an agent move and delete files through a chat window, but building it safely was much harder. We’ve also found a way to create sophisticated file systems while balancing speed and cost. Sparkle starts by analyzing a sub-section of your recent files with Opus 4.6 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiKFJlKFJlKSlJbnRyb2R1Y2luZyBTcGFya2xlOiBNYXJpZSBLb25kbyBZb3VyIE1hYyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxMDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svb3B1cy00LTYiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9], a very smart (and expensive) model.

But an agent is much simpler: a model with enough context so you don’t have to re-explain everything each time you open the chat. Here’s an example: All of Cora’s code lives in a project folder in the Every organization on GitHub. When I open that folder with Claude, Claude can see the code and the structure. But it doesn’t know my way of working or what I care about, which is why the folder also includes a CLAUDE.md [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9jbGF1ZGUubWQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9] file. The file tells Claude how I name things and how I structure tests. That’s an agent—not a fancy one, but an agent nonetheless. Just by pointing the model at this folder, which contains some of my personality, knowledge, and taste [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC93aGF0LWlzLXRhc3RlLXJlYWxseSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=], the model can be a specialist in my codebase. Claude Skills—files that give the model specific capabilities—are an example of this “folder as agent” structure. Before anyone called them “skills,” people were already writing markdown files full of instructions and dropping them into project directories. My ~/cora/ folder goes further: * Conventions and standards: The CLAUDE.md covers Rails conventions, deploy workflows, and database patterns. * Institutional knowledge: The docs/developer-docs/ directory holds accumulated knowledge that any new agent inherits automatically, including architecture reports, the email processing pipeline, and the assistant system design [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvZnJvbS1ldmVyeS1zdHVkaW8tY29yYS1hc3Npc3RhbnQtc3BpcmFsLWdvZXMtYWdlbnRpYy1hbmQtc3BhcmtsZS1kZS1kdXBlcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=]. * Operational memory: The docs/runbooks/ and docs/investigations/ capture operational patterns built from real incidents. * Specialized agents: .claude/agents/ holds specialists I’ve refined over months: reviewers, planners, and the assistant-component-creator. When I point a model at this folder, it starts working with everything Cora knows about itself. The reading order I give to every new agent that touches Cora is the following: Read CLAUDE.md first, then the architecture document, then the assistant system report, then the assistant’s prompt, then the component creator agent. My Cora repository serves as a living memory system: conventions, runbooks, and specialized agents all layered so any new model instantly inherits how Cora thinks and operates.

Where ~/cora/ builds features, ~/cora-agent/ runs the operation. It has no app code, so it can’t accidentally modify production code while doing operations work. Instead, it has skills for: * Querying AppSignal to check for errors and performance problems across Cora’s live system * Tailing Render logs to watch server output in real time and catch issues as they happen * Pulling from a Postgres read replica—a copy of Cora’s database—so it can query user data without affecting the live version * Reading Intercom tickets so it can connect customer complaints to technical problems * Correlating GitHub deploys to production incidents, tracing a break back to the specific code change that caused it  .claude/skills/ directory is a cockpit—a single place where the agent can see and interact with every system Cora depends on. Each external system Cora touches has a reference file telling the agent exactly how to talk to it. Its bin/ directory has Ruby daemons (background processes that stay running continuously) running continuously: a scheduler, an inbox processor that triages incoming issues automatically, and a health monitor that restarts stalled processes. Three postmortems live in docs/postmortems/. A dense deploy journal covers every Cora pull request from March through April. Just by changing the folder and not the model, I have a different agent. Point Opus at ~/cora/ and it’s a Rails engineer. Point it at ~/cora-agent/ and it’s an ops engineer who knows our incident history, our service topology, and exactly which Slack channel to notify. A MORNING WITH 44 AGENTS Once you realize the folder is the agent, you can run as many as you want. I have a handful of specialized folders, but 44 agents running across them at any given time—several working inside ~/cora/ simultaneously on different tasks, others monitoring production from ~/cora-agent/, others handling orchestration. It’s the same folders, just different jobs happening in parallel. The obvious question is: Who manages 44 of them? For months, the answer was me, manually. I’d open a terminal tab, navigate to a project folder, start a Claude Code session, give it a task, open another tab, and do it again. I was the dispatch layer—keeping track of which agent was working on what, which tasks had finished, and which were stuck. It worked when I had five agents. At 10, I started forgetting what was running where. At 44, it was unsustainable. Bugs I knew were easy to fix sat untouched for days, and pull request reviews piled up. So I built a dispatch layer: a system that sits above the folders and routes work between them. There’s a Ruby daemon that watches a directory for spawn requests. When I ask it to orchestrate a task, it creates a lead agent, the lead breaks the task into subtasks and writes each one as a file, and the daemon picks those files up and spawns worker agents in the right folders. Workers report back by writing files. The daemon checks status every 60 seconds. There’s no need for custom networking or agent-to-agent protocol. As a result, I went from manually juggling terminal tabs to managing my entire engineering surface from one place. I interact with the dispatch layer through slash commands in Claude Code. Two do most of the work: TWO COMMANDS THAT REPLACE 20 TERMINAL TABS * The morning briefing: I type /hey into Claude Code to get a status report. For each project, the system checks what was completed, what errored, what’s blocked, and any new high-priority issues. This one command yields a complete picture of what needs my attention across Cora’s main codebase, the ops environment, and the orchestration system. * The kickoff: I type /orchestrate to kick off a task—for example, /orchestrate “Fix GitHub issue #1765.” The system creates a lead agent, which breaks down the task and spawns workers in the right folders. Each worker inherits that folder’s full context—its CLAUDE.md, agents, and accumulated knowledge. Workers do the work. A pull request appears, and I review it. With the /orchestrate command, a lead agent delegates to specialized workers across contexts, and you watch the entire system think in parallel.

Every agent gets a pane I can watch live in tmux (a terminal tool for running multiple sessions at once). A dashboard shows me a live map called an agent tree that shows every agent and its status—working, waiting, done, or error. Pull requests and GitHub issue comments arrive for asynchronous review. I process results when I’m ready, instead of when agents finish their tasks. The whole thing runs on a Ruby daemon with file-based messaging. The dispatch layer is not sophisticated infrastructure. The sophistication lies in the folders underneath it—each one a specialist built through months of learning from work.

But they also found that multi-agent systems burn 15 times more tokens than single-agent setups, and that most coding tasks have fewer parallelizable steps than research, which makes them harder to split across agents. The dispatch layer doesn’t replace me—it handles the tracking so that I still decide what work gets done and where it goes. WHAT BREAKS AT SCALE (AND WHY YOU CAN’T VIBE ORCHESTRATE) That morning walkthrough makes it sound smooth, but it isn’t always. The encoding bug was my favorite disaster. For weeks, agents would randomly crash mid-task, and the error message gave no helpful explanation. I dug through logs, checked API responses, and tested network configurations. The culprit turned out to be em dashes and curly quotes—characters from text I’d copy-pasted into prompts. My daemon was running US-ASCII encoding, which only recognizes plain English letters, so those special characters were crashing it. The frontier of AI-assisted development is full of problems like this: genuinely dumb, and shockingly hard to find. The harder ongoing challenge is context drift. With dozens of agents, some end up running stale versions of tasks or duplicating work that another agent already finished. The list of active agents grows, but I have to do manual cleanup. I don’t have a good automated solution yet—I prune regularly and accept that some tokens get wasted. This setup also entails a sneaky issue: agent stalls. An agent makes too many API calls too fast or gets stuck waiting for input, and its status stays on “working” indefinitely. You don’t notice until you check, and when you’re managing 44 agents, you don’t always check. These failures point to the biggest lesson I’ve learned: You can’t vibe orchestrate. Just like you can’t vibe code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvaS1yZWJ1aWx0LXNwYXJrbGUtaW4tMTQtZGF5cy13aXRoLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM1fQ==]—you need plans before you start building [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvc3RvcC1jb2RpbmctYW5kLXN0YXJ0LXBsYW5uaW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM2fQ==]—and you can’t vibe fix [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC93aGVuLXlvdXItdmliZS1jb2RlZC1hcHAtZ29lcy12aXJhbC1hbmQtdGhlbi1nb2VzLWRvd24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzd9] when things break in production, you can’t hand a folder to the dispatch layer and hope for the best. When I start a new project, I don’t immediately hand it to the dispatch layer.

Only when I trust a flow do I hand it off to the dispatch layer and stop watching. If you skip this step, you’ll have agents opening pull requests for work you’ve already finished and filing duplicate issues. The order of work is key: Build it, use it, trust it, and then orchestrate it. YOUR FOLDER IS ALREADY AN AGENT I started this whole experiment trying to build a swarm. I ended up with 44 folders, each one with specialized context built through months of work, connected by a dispatch layer. It’s not what I expected, but it works. You also have the building blocks to create the same thing. If your project has a CLAUDE.md and some files in .claude/, you have an agent. You just haven’t been treating it like one. Here’s an experiment for you: Look at your project folder. Is it a generic setup or a specialist? If it’s generic—if your CLAUDE.md is boilerplate you copied from someone’s blog post—spend 30 minutes making it yours. Add your conventions, your patterns, your opinions about how code should be written. Then try running two agents in separate git worktrees (separate copies of your codebase so they don’t interfere with each other) and notice where you slow things down. That’s where the dispatch layer needs to go. I’m one step into that myself. I’ve moved from manually orchestrating—opening terminal tabs, navigating folders, and starting sessions—to having a dispatch layer do that routing for me. The step after this is already arriving. Anthropic just launched Claude Managed Agents [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcGxhdGZvcm0uY2xhdWRlLmNvbS9kb2NzL2VuL21hbmFnZWQtYWdlbnRzL292ZXJ2aWV3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM5fQ==]—a hosted service that handles sandboxing, state management, and tool execution so developers can focus on what their agents do rather than how to keep them running. The folder-as-agent pattern makes that kind of managed autonomy possible: a trusted, specialized environment the model can run inside without you holding its hand. The industry is spending a lot of energy on autonomous swarms. I spent three months there too, and found that for now, the answer is still just a folder. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GO FURTHER * Read Kieran’s comprehensive guide to compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nP3NvdXJjZT1wb3N0X2J1dHRvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0MH0=] * Install the compound engineering plugin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9FdmVyeUluYy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1wbHVnaW4iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDF9] * Watch the recording [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZXZlbnRzL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLWNhbXAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDJ9] from Kieran’s last compound engineering camp -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZvbGRlciBJcyB0aGUgQWdlbnQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0M30=] for editorial support.

The setup lets an external agent (rather than a human) hand off a writing task to Spiral, where the two agents interview each other behind the scenes before producing a draft with no human input required. Marcus built a new API endpoint for this flow and added an API label in Spiral’s UI so users can distinguish between agent-generated and human-initiated conversations. The API also now supports attachments and smarter default selections for workspace and style. Conversations via API show up in your Spiral chat history with an “API” label, so you can pick up where the agent left off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT The wrong fight. I don’t know what’s in the water in Utah, but whatever it is, I want more of it, because the state is leading the country on using AI in healthcare. Legion Health, a Y Combinator-backed San Francisco startup, has been cleared to use AI in Utah to renew a handful of psychiatric prescriptions, including Prozac and Zoloft, for patients who are already stable and on an established treatment plan. It’s the second AI healthcare pilot approved there, and it’s replacing the barrages of emails from patients who are stable on the same dose, contacting their clinicians who are already buried in administrative work, who have to produce a piece of paper that says yes, same drug, same dose, carry on. This is often done outside of working hours, and without any reimbursement. To ensure the pilot is safe [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1pc3NpbmcgTGF5ZXIgaW4gQUkgQWRvcHRpb24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTA3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucHltbnRzLmNvbS9hcnRpZmljaWFsLWludGVsbGlnZW5jZS0yLzIwMjYvbGVnaW9uLWhlYWx0aC1haS1jbGVhcmVkLXRvLXByb3ZpZGUtZmFzdGVyLXJlZmlsbHMtZm9yLXV0YWgtcGF0aWVudHMvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQ0fQ==], the first 250 AI renewals are reviewed by a physician before anything reaches a pharmacy, and the AI has to agree with that physician more than 98 percent of the time before it can proceed independently.

The criticism splits into two camps: prescribing error, and the app’s insufficiency to improve access to the patients who need care most. On prescribing error, the hard clinical judgment has already been made by a human; what the AI is doing is confirming that nothing has changed, which it has to get right 98 percent of the time before it’s allowed to proceed unsupervised. On access, it’s true that you have to already be in treatment to use this service, but if a psychiatrist in rural Utah who typically spends part of their day processing renewal emails for stable patients no longer needs to do so, they have more time for the patients who need them.

Getting it right for your system, team conventions, and past decisions is the hard part. You end up wasting time and tokens in the correction loops. More MCPs, rules, and bigger context windows give agents access to information, but not understanding. The teams pulling ahead have an organizational context engine to give agents exactly what they need for the task at hand. Join us for a free webinar on April 23 to see: 1. Where teams get stuck on the AI maturity curve and why common fixes fall short 2. How a context engine solves for quality, efficiency, and cost 3. Live demo: the same coding task with and without an organizational context engine If you want to maximize the value you get from AI agents, this one is worth your time.

Notion product designer Brian Levin also joined to share best practices from the Notion team. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Describe the outcome, not the steps. Tell the AI what you want to accomplish and let it figure out the implementation. Over-prescribing (“Create a database, then add a relation, then filter by...”) tends to confuse the model. * Your Notion is your agent’s brain. Custom agents get powerful when they can query interconnected databases. Every’s agents work because strategy, calendar, tasks, people, and meeting notes all live in Notion and reference each other. * Don’t write the agent’s instructions yourself. Tell Notion AI what you want the agent to accomplish, and it will generate the instructions. Or use Claude Code with Notion’s API to build the whole thing from your terminal.

ANTON: THE PRIORITIZATION AGENT Every ships something almost every day, whether it’s a product update, an article, an event, a consulting deliverable, or a combination. Each launch gets its own set of tasks inside Notion, automatically populated from a template when the launch is added to the calendar. The system works beautifully for tracking the full universe of tasks that exists. The problem is prioritization. With multiple launches overlapping each week, figuring out which of your 30 tasks matters this morning requires mentally weighing launch dates against company strategy against what your teammates are blocked on. Brandon used to be the human router for all of that. Now Anton does it. The Anton agent, available through Notion or in Slack, helps Every team members keep track of their priorities.

HERE’S A PROMPT SO YOU CAN BUILD IT YOURSELF IN NOTION: I want a custom agent that helps my team prioritize their work. We have a calendar database where each entry is a launch or project with a date. We have a tasks database where each task is linked to a calendar entry and assigned to a person. We also have a strategy document that outlines our top priorities this quarter. The agent should: (1) Tell any team member their most important tasks today, based on upcoming launches and strategy alignment. (2) Post a daily summary to Slack with the company’s priorities for the week. Build the databases if they don’t exist, and create the agent with instructions. MAX: THE MEETINGS-TO-TASKS AGENT Every recently moved all meeting notes into Notion. Meetings get recorded, transcribed, and stored in a database. That’s useful for reference, but meeting notes have a shelf life of about six hours before everyone forgets what they agreed to do. The real value is in the action items—and in saving those in the same system where the meeting was recorded. This is where Max enters the proverbial chat. When a meeting ends, Max processes the transcript, extracts action items, and posts them to a Slack channel as a numbered list. Anyone can reply with which items should become tasks (“4, 5, and 7”), and Max creates them in the tasks database, linked to the correct launch. Meetings feed directly into the system the team already uses to track work, and nothing gets lost between the Zoom call and the to-do list. Max summarizes action items coming out of Every’s last studio standup. (Image courtesy of Katie Parrott.)

Reply with which numbers matter (“4, 5, and 7”), and Max creates them as tasks linked to the correct launch. HERE’S A PROMPT SO YOU CAN BUILD IT YOURSELF IN NOTION I want a custom agent that processes meeting notes. When a meeting is recorded in our meetings database, the agent should: (1) Update the meeting title based on the transcript. (2) Tag attendees. (3) Extract action items. (4) Post them to [Slack channel], numbered. (5) When someone replies with numbers (e.g., “2, 4, 6”), create those as tasks in our tasks database, linked to the relevant project on our calendar. Mark the meeting as “processed” when done. THE STRATEGY INTERVIEWER OKR planning at most companies takes weeks. Someone sends a template, people procrastinate, leadership reviews drafts that don’t align with company goals, and the cycle repeats until everyone is exhausted and Q2 is already six weeks old. Brandon told the team on a Monday that OKRs were due Wednesday—a turnaround that would have been absurd without this agent. The strategy interviewer works like a good chief of staff. It knows the company’s top-level goals, and it interviews each team member to draw out their plans for the quarter, pushing for specifics and measurable outcomes. Some people, like Austin, pasted in notes they’d already been collecting and got polished OKRs in about 10 minutes. Others used the interview as a thinking tool, talking through their priorities while the agent structured them in real time. Every’s strategy interviewer agent helped the entire team develop 2026 OKRs that were aligned with the whole company’s goals. (Image courtesy of Katie Parrott.)

(Image courtesy of Katie Parrott.) Brian from Notion added a useful refinement: After the interview, ask the agent, “What’s the dumbest, simplest system we could build to accomplish these goals?” Repeating this strips away complexity and gets you to the essence. THE DETAILS: * Goal: Interview each team member about their quarterly goals and produce structured OKRs aligned to company strategy. * Access: Company strategy document and OKRs database. * Outcome: A complete set of OKRs per person, stored in a shared database for leadership review. Every’s team completed theirs in two days. HERE’S A PROMPT SO YOU CAN BUILD IT YOURSELF IN NOTION: I want a custom agent that helps my team write quarterly OKRs. Here’s our company strategy: [paste or link your strategy document]. The agent should interview each person about their goals, ask follow-up questions to make them specific and measurable, and write OKRs that align to the company strategy. Store results in an OKRs database with fields for objective, key results, owner, team, and quarter. THE CAMPAIGN REPORTER Austin tracks growth across PostHog, Stripe, and several other platforms. Before agents, he spent his mornings [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIFJ1biBhIDI1LXBlcnNvbiBDb21wYW55IG9uIEZvdXIgQUkgQWdlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC90aGUtYWdlbnQtdGhhdC1zYXZlZC1teS1icmFpbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMX0=] opening dashboards, pulling numbers manually, and compiling a report for his team. Assembling the data into something useful took more effort than analyzing it. Now a custom Notion agent posts a daily scorecard to the growth team’s Slack channel—key metrics, pace indicators, and a flag for whether the team is ahead or behind its targets. The database underneath pulls from external sources via Notion Workers—custom scripts that connect Notion to outside APIs. You describe what you want to a coding agent (“I need to pull daily traffic numbers from PostHog into a Notion database”), and it writes the script for you using Notion’s public workers template [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIFJ1biBhIDI1LXBlcnNvbiBDb21wYW55IG9uIEZvdXIgQUkgQWdlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDEwNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9tYWtlbm90aW9uL3dvcmtlcnMtdGVtcGxhdGUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjJ9].

Brian’s advice from the session: Don’t install someone else’s template and hope it fits. Instead, have Notion AI interview you about your problem, then build the agent around your answers. Here’s a starter prompt you can adapt for anything: Interview me to help me build a custom Notion agent. Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish: [describe the outcome you want in plain language—e.g., “I want to know which client projects are at risk of missing their deadlines” or “I want a weekly summary of what my team shipped”]. Ask me questions about how I currently do this work, what information I’d need the agent to access, where I want the output delivered (Notion, Slack, email), and how often it should run. Then build the databases, write the agent instructions, and set up any recurring schedules. Start simple—I’d rather have something working today that I can improve over time. Once you have the first agent running, the second one is easier—because the databases it created become the foundation for whatever you build next. That’s how Every ended up with four agents on three databases. Brandon started with the calendar and tasks. The agents came one at a time, each one plugging into what already existed. Brian’s advice for keeping the scope manageable: after the interview, ask the agent, “What’s the dumbest, simplest system we could build to accomplish this?” Start there. You’ll know what to add once you’ve lived with it for a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott is a staff writer and AI editorial lead at Every.

People in marketing, operations, finance, content—they can see what it does, but they assume it requires a technical background they don't have. It doesn't. A product marketer built a tool to track competitor positioning in an afternoon. An ops manager automated a report she’d been writing manually every Monday. Everyone at Every uses Claude Code now—writers, editors, operations experts, product designers. There’s one week left to join us on April 14.

Most people find the first task they automate pays for the course, and you leave with a workflow you can run again on your own. If you've been putting it off, the gap between people who can use these tools and those who can't is widening every month. This is a structured day to close it. It’s for true beginners only—if you've already spent meaningful time with Claude Code, this isn't the right fit.

So when do we turn to Dan versus R2-C2 for Proof-related troubleshooting? Brandon’s rule of thumb: If an established process or tool needs to be used or fixed, ask a Plus One. R2-C2 knows all about Proof, and Dan’s a busy guy—bug reports and questions about how to use the app or report a bug should always go to the agent. * Agents gain credibility by doing. The fastest way to get other people to trust and use your Plus One is to have it execute tasks in public.

But knowing which frame fits you—software application, coworker, some emerging hybrid—can help your agent get up to speed more quickly. If you’re looking for a teammate, giving your agent a personality helps push past onboarding friction. If you’re looking for a reliable tool, adding characteristics can feel like theater.

When you’re thinking about what tasks to hand over to your agent, start with the papercuts—small recurring annoyances that add up over a day. One of mine was formatting screenshots to Every’s style standards for use in the newsletter and on social media, so I gave my Plus One [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnkgSXMgSGFsZiBBZ2VudCBOb3ciLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wbHVzLW9uZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2MH0=], Margot, our formatting rules and asked her to learn them. The problem is, Margot kept talking about the task instead of learning how to do it. She restated the formatting rules back to me, asked clarifying questions, and then…stopped. So I defined “done” concretely—”I want you to be able to format screenshots according to our specifications”—and told her to stop deliberating and start, and when things broke, made her explain the failures in my language so I could make decisions about what to do next. One coaching session later, Margot formats any screenshot to spec on command. The lesson: When your agent is stuck, it’s usually talking when it should be doing. Coach toward action—define what done looks like, cut off the deliberation, and make it build. STEAL THESE PROMPTS: “I should be able to say [trigger phrase] and you execute it. Build it now.” “What’s the most likely cause? What else could it be? What do we know vs. what are we guessing?”—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnkgSXMgSGFsZiBBZ2VudCBOb3ciLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by93b3JraW5nLW92ZXJ0aW1lL3dyaXRpbmctd2l0aC1haS1pcy1oYXJkZXItdGhhbi15b3UtdGhpbmsiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NjF9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUILD WITH EVERY Every is a media company, a software company, and a consulting company—all run by a team that ships like an organization 10 times its size.

That silence lets the worst assumptions fill the gap. I’d rather just show you the whole mess—what is happening in my head when I write with AI, and it’s not what the discourse imagines. By the end, you can decide for yourself whether what I do counts as thinking. WHAT WRITING WITH AI IS (AND WHAT IT ISN’T) Many critics treat the use of AI in writing like a binary: Either the machine wrote it, or you suffered for it. But writing has never been binary. It’s always been a mess of drafting and revising, leaning on editors and borrowing structures, following formulas and breaking them. And no two kinds of writing are exactly alike: A journalist’s process relies on source calls and document requests. A novelist’s includes plotting arcs across 80,000 words. A personal essay, like the ones I write for Every, involves sitting alone with your feelings until they become a thesis statement.

The policy seemed to say: If you access Claude through OpenClaw, your subscription no longer covers it the same way. “They disallow specifically OpenClaw from subs,” head of tech consulting Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjd9] wrote. “You have to pay for extra usage. Pretty lame.” Mike’s best explanation for why Anthropic drew the line where it did centers on prompt caching, a cost-control mechanism that works by reusing previously processed conversation text. When it works, it keeps inference costs low. When a third-party tool changes even a single token in the prior conversation, that reuse breaks, and Anthropic has to reprocess the entire conversation from scratch. “Prompt caching keeps cost down by saving the previous tokens that have already loaded,” Mike explained. “If a provider breaks the cache by changing even one token of the previous saved conversation, you have to reprocess the entire old conversation.” He also noted that Claude Code co-creator Boris Cherny [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy10by11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtbGlrZS10aGUtcGVvcGxlLXdoby1idWlsdC1pdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==] had already opened pull requests to improve OpenClaw’s cache efficiency, suggesting the problem was technically solvable. Anthropic enacted restrictions instead. What the team disputes is not that Anthropic has a reason—it’s that singling out one app by name is the wrong response to it. The consistent argument across the Every Slack was that if cache-breaking usage costs more to serve, make those users pay more: Meter the consumption rather than ban the interface. “A better middle ground is not to ban OpenClaw users,” head of platform Willie Williams argued, “it’s to give me a certain amount of tokens I can use as part of my subscription, and then charge me overages if I go over.” Dan framed the same principle from the user side—“I think of AI subscriptions like Claude and ChatGPT as being like cell phone plans that give me a certain amount of data”—and Mike extended it to the infrastructure side, invoking net neutrality: Verizon shouldn’t get to slow down Netflix because Netflix uses a lot of bandwidth. The argument, in every form it took, was the same: Charge for what costs you money, not for which app someone uses to spend it. There is also a business problem that goes beyond annoyed subscribers. Restrictions like this do the opposite of building loyalty—they create churn. Anthropic may have a legitimate business reason for drawing a line somewhere. But drawing it in a way that feels confusing and selective is not the way to win the platform war between model providers and the tools built on top of them.—Kate Lee [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0ZV8xNzY3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9] AI VIDEO ANALYSIS JUST GOT WAY CHEAPER AI video analysis is rarely discussed in AI hype circles today.

It’s more like rocket flight than air travel: not an established industry getting cheaper, but a new capability on the verge of becoming practical. And something just shifted that could blow the door open. When GPT-4V (vision) launched at the end of 2023, I used video processing to identify what strategies were being used in video games at a cost of roughly $6 per hour—and that was after a lot of complex engineering to split videos into frames at 0.5 frames per second (FPS) and feed them through as images. Google’s recently released open-source Gemma 4 model [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLmdvb2dsZS9pbm5vdmF0aW9uLWFuZC1haS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2RldmVsb3BlcnMtdG9vbHMvZ2VtbWEtNC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9] does this much more efficiently: I estimate the same task now costs about $0.14 per hour at 2 FPS—capturing four times as much detail, with none of the hacky engineering workarounds that used to be necessary. The math: At current token pricing ($0.14 per million input, $0.40 per million output), one hour of video at 1 FPS with 70 tokens per frame runs about 252,000 input tokens, or roughly $0.04. Bump to 2 FPS with richer frames (140 tokens each) and you hit ~$0.14 per hour—still a 97 percent cost reduction from 18 months ago. The cost of understanding what happens in a video has dropped by a factor of roughly 40, while the quality of that understanding has improved dramatically. That is the kind of price collapse that creates entirely new categories of application. Imagine live video streaming commentary of your kid’s soccer game, a Ring doorbell that tells you who’s at the door, or an automated review of thousands of hours of security footage to find a missing person.—Mike Taylor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWLEDGE BASE “Vibe Check: Cursor 3.0 Bets Big on Agent Orchestration” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL2N1cnNvciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMn0=] by Dan Shipper, Katie Parrott, and Mike Taylor/Vibe Check: Cursor totally rebuilt its product around agent orchestration rather than code editing, and we came away feeling that the new Cursor still has maturing to do.

Karri argues that AI’s unreliability is a design problem, not a model problem, and shares the six principles Linear developed so that agent actions are as legible and controllable as human ones. Read this to understand why the answer isn’t approving every agent action—it’s designing the system so the agent already has the constraints it needs before it starts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THESIS EXTRA: DESIGNING TOWARD THE IMMEASURABLE From Saarinen’s home office in San Francisco, he spoke to us about the design goal he cares about most—which also happens to be one he can’t measure: quality. Saarinen describes quality as a near-sensory reflex. If he touches—or even looks at—something that doesn’t “feel” thoughtfully crafted, it sets off a niggling itch in the back of his mind. “It’s a belief,” he says, “or I could say, it’s like a faith.” It’s an unusual stance for a tech founder—given the industry’s penchant to quantify all it possibly can—but Saarinen has made the pursuit of quality central to how the company operates. He sees it as inseparable from Linear’s ambition to be the best in its space. Karri Saarinen in his home office in San Francisco. All photos courtesy of Sarah Deragon for Every.

All photos courtesy of Sarah Deragon for Every. CREATE CONDITIONS THAT MAKE QUALITY INEVITABLE If quality has to be felt to be understood, scaling it across a growing company isn’t straightforward. Saarinen’s approach mirrors an activity he does far, far away from his laptop screen: growing potatoes every summer at his home in Finland. “You didn’t directly make those plants grow,” he says, “but they grew because you created the conditions for them to grow.” When something goes wrong—say, strange spots appearing on the vegetable’s skin—you have to evaluate the conditions you created. Were the soil conditions right? Perhaps it was too acidic? You adjust, and you learn. Similarly, a leader can define a standard of quality, but they can’t manufacture it themselves. Their role is to create an environment where quality is likely to take root. At Linear, that means hiring people who genuinely care about their craft, telling them openly—and often—that quality is valued, and building rituals that reinforce it. One of those rituals is “Quality Wednesday,” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5lYXIuYXBwL25vdy9xdWFsaXR5LXdlZG5lc2RheXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9] where the engineering team works on fixing small issues that degrade a user’s experience. The ritual trains the team to notice things that most people would scroll past, and carry that instinct into everything they ship.

Saarinen points to Opal—the webcam he used during this interview—or the distinctive aesthetic of Swedish electronics company Teenage Engineering. In particular, he likes the latter’s audio mixers, where tactile grids of knobs and keys—and the small icons etched into their surfaces—attempt to give sound a visual form. At the same time, Saarinen has never been a fan of skeuomorphism—which styles digital interfaces to mimic physical textures. “If you’re designing a new house and you like Roman columns, so you put columns like that in the house,” he says, “well, it’s still not a Roman house.” Those columns came to exist in Rome from constraints and traditions that were specific to a certain time and place—and grafting them onto a modern house is borrowing from that aesthetic, even though the context that produced it has little to do with what you’re building. Software, he argues, should be approached the same way. It’s a new medium, and it deserves a native design language instead of hand-me-down forms from the physical world.

There are even small nods to these influences hidden in Linear, a detail tucked into a homepage here, a reference in a feature launch video there.

It’s a GLP-1 telehealth startup called Medvi, built by Matthew Gallagher in two months with $20,000 and a suite of AI tools. In its first full year it did $401 million in revenue and is on course for $1.8 billion this year. He has one employee, his brother. A lot of people are calling the numbers fake, but having spent two and a half years working inside this industry, I don’t think they are. The demand for these medications has been the most ferocious thing I have witnessed in my working life, and the hardest parts of running a telehealth company, like finding doctors and fulfilling prescriptions, can be entirely outsourced to platforms like CareValidate and OpenLoop. All you need is the audacity to do blitz marketing like you’re holding an AK-47 with unlimited bullets, and that’s exactly what Gallagher did. His affiliates, armed with AI, built fake doctor profiles in Meta ads and made unscrupulous claims about weight loss using fake testimonials. The liability sits with both the affiliates and the company for these types of advertisements, but enforcement has been so slow that it hasn’t mattered. Of course these black hat marketing tactics worked because regulators are slow and enforcement has been lax. But with acquisition costs rising and retention becoming harder as consumers chase the cheapest option, the unit economics of this model will become increasingly unattractive. These types of businesses exist for a moment until they capitulate because it no longer becomes economically viable. Gallagher will come away from it a much richer man, so maybe that validates the business model. There’s also a discussion about whether it’s truly a one-man, billion-dollar business: Dan rightly points out [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG91c2UgUnVsZXMgZm9yIHRoZSBBZ2VudHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9kYW5zaGlwcGVyL3N0YXR1cy8yMDM5NzU3MTA5MTIyNzg5NDYyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQwfQ==] that Gallagher is outsourcing a large amount of human labor. The part I’m concerned about is that it’s being celebrated as a milestone in AI use when it’s really a better example of someone exploiting an unregulated space. Some untold number of unknowing people clicked on a fake doctor’s profile, filled out a one-minute consultation, and got a GLP-1 shipped to their door. This is exploitation on an enormous scale! It works for GLP-1s because the demand is extraordinary and the side effect profile is manageable for most people, but the same funnel could be pointed at antidepressants, or hormone therapy, or opioids. This type of business is now being copied because of the publicity this story has received, and that should scare us.

Karri Saarinen has spent his career—at Airbnb and Coinbase, and now as CEO of Linear—crafting software that keeps its promises. His argument is that AI’s unpredictability isn’t a model problem, it’s an interface one: An agent sends a customer an email you meant to review first. The model did what it was told, but the interface never gave you a chance to stay stop. In this piece, he shares the six-principle framework Linear has developed for how agents and humans should work together inside the same product, plus his nuanced take on a thorny question in AI design: Who should be accountable when an agent does something wrong?

It was a promise that a product would work how it’s supposed to work. You sketch a user flow on a whiteboard, build it, and the system behaves the way you made it behave. A button does exactly what it says it will do, every time, and if it doesn’t, that’s a bug. This shaped my approach as a principal designer at Airbnb and Coinbase, and now as the CEO of Linear. Lately I’ve been spending time with a different kind of tool, and that promise has grown harder to keep. I ask for help writing a plan, summarizing a discussion, and turning rough notes into something clearer. Sometimes the result is excellent, but small changes to my input shift the output in ways I didn’t expect. The capability is impressive when it works, but the experience often feels slippery. I’m not always sure what I’ll get back, or how much I should trust it. Non-deterministic software breaks the contract. When outcomes can vary, sometimes wildly, based on what someone types into the same chat window, designing for reliability becomes genuinely harder. This slippery feeling is the design problem of this era, and it almost always traces back to the interface rather than the language model—which means it belongs to designers, not researchers.

Your experts encode corrections, context, and reasoning into every AI workflow. 2. That knowledge persists and compounds, building trust with every interaction. 3.

THE LIMITS OF CHAT The first interface that spread for AI tools was the chat window. That makes sense. When you don’t know what something can do, the safest approach is to let people ask. A conversation feels familiar, it stretches across many situations, and it doesn’t force a specific structure up front. But the more you use chat for real work, the more its weakness shows. Everything becomes a stream of text that’s hard to hold onto, hard to compare, and hard to connect to the rest of what you’re doing. The quality of the output depends enormously on the quality of the input, which means two people asking for the same thing in slightly different ways can get drastically different results. There are few guardrails, and little structure nudging you toward a good outcome. The interface is essentially a blank page with a blinking cursor, and all the burden of getting value from it falls on the person typing. For exploration, that’s fine. For serious, repeated work inside a team, it’s not enough. We need interfaces that bring more structure to AI interactions, that guide people (and agents) toward better outcomes without being so brittle they break the moment someone wants to use them in a way you hadn’t anticipated. DESIGNING FOR NEW ACTORS There’s a second, newer dimension to this problem that goes beyond improving interfaces for humans. Agents are already showing up [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIERlc2lnbiBmb3IgSHVtYW4tYWdlbnQgSW50ZXJhY3Rpb24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by90aGVzaXMvdGhlLXJhY2UtaXMtb24tdG8tcmVkZXNpZ24tZXZlcnl0aGluZy1mb3ItYWktYWdlbnRzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==] inside products, working alongside people, and most software wasn’t designed with that in mind. For decades, interfaces have been designed so that humans can navigate them—buttons, menus, folders, navigation hierarchies. These patterns assume a person is looking at a screen, making decisions, and clicking through options. But when an agent is interacting with a product, the design challenge changes. The agent doesn’t need a menu to find something. It doesn’t browse. It acts, and the people around it need to understand what it did and why, often after the fact. We need a new set of principles for how agents show up inside the tools people already use. Not principles for building agents themselves, but principles for designing ways that agents and humans interact within a shared product. At Linear, we’ve started calling these Agent Interaction Guidelines [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIERlc2lnbiBmb3IgSHVtYW4tYWdlbnQgSW50ZXJhY3Rpb24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5lYXIuYXBwL2RldmVsb3BlcnMvYWlnIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==], and while they’re still evolving, they represent how we think about this problem today. AN AGENT SHOULD ALWAYS DISCLOSE THAT IT’S AN AGENT When humans and agents work side by side, people need instant certainty about who they’re interacting with. This sounds obvious, but it’s easy to get wrong. The agent has to signal its identity clearly enough that it can never be mistaken for a person, even in passing, even on a quick scan of a busy activity feed. A dropdown menu assigns tasks to human and agent users, with clear “Agent” badges for the latter. (All screenshots courtesy of Linear.)

If a person changes an issue’s status or links a pull request, the agent should do it the same way, in the same place, with the same visual language. This makes the agent’s work legible without anyone learning a new mental model. You already know how to read what happened, because the interface is the same one you’ve used all along. Linear’s activity feed for issues shows agent actions alongside human actions.

AN AGENT SHOULD PROVIDE INSTANT FEEDBACK Silence from an agent creates the same anxiety as silence from a colleague you’ve just asked for help. When invoked, an agent should provide immediate (but unobtrusive) feedback so the person knows their request was received. The details can come later. AN AGENT SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT ITS INTERNAL STATE More broadly, people need to understand, at a glance, whether an agent is thinking, waiting for input, executing a task, or finished with that task. And when they want to go deeper, they should be able to inspect the agent’s reasoning, the tools and systems it used, and its decision logic. This separates a product you can trust from one that feels like a black box. Transparency makes speed feel safe. Agents in Linear’s Agent Sessions show their reasoning. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/4096/optimized_b3f34096-611d-49f6-8e38-eb95566924a4.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIERlc2lnbiBmb3IgSHVtYW4tYWdlbnQgSW50ZXJhY3Rpb24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MDk2L29wdGltaXplZF9iM2YzNDA5Ni02MTFkLTQ5ZjYtOGUzOC1lYjk1NTY2OTI0YTQucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==Agents in Linear’s Agent Sessions show their reasoning. AN AGENT SHOULD RESPECT REQUESTS TO DISENGAGE When asked to stop, an agent should stop immediately and stay stopped until it receives a clear signal to re-engage. This one feels simple, but it matters more than you’d think. An agent that keeps going after being told to stop, or that re-engages unprompted, erodes trust faster than one that makes mistakes. People need to feel that they’re in control of the interaction, not the other way around. AN AGENT CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE I think about this principle most. The instinct to put a human in the loop is understandable, but taken literally, it can mean a person approving every step before anything moves forward. The human becomes a bottleneck, rubber-stamping work rather than directing it, and you lose much of what makes agents valuable in the first place. The more important work happens before the agent even starts. An agent operating inside a well-designed system already has the context and constraints it needs to do good work. In Linear, that means project plans, issue backlogs, code, and documentation. These all shape what the agent does and how it does it. When you delegate an issue to an agent in Linear, the delegation is visible. There’s a person who set the agent loose within that system, and that person is accountable for the outcome. You design the environment well, you let the agent run, and you own what it produces. Issues delegated to agents show their human assignee. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/4096/optimized_6aa7e750-33cd-411c-8f7b-058db189cf93.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIERlc2lnbiBmb3IgSHVtYW4tYWdlbnQgSW50ZXJhY3Rpb24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDk2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MDk2L29wdGltaXplZF82YWE3ZTc1MC0zM2NkLTQxMWMtOGY3Yi0wNThkYjE4OWNmOTMucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==Issues delegated to agents show their human assignee. A WORKING FRAMEWORK We’ve honed these principles through what we’ve learned building agents into Linear over the past year, and we expect them to keep evolving as the technology and the patterns mature. The design language for human-agent collaboration is still being written, by us and by everyone else building in this space. I feel confident, though, that the slippery feeling people associate with AI products is a solvable problem, and the solution looks more like thoughtful interface design than better models. The models will keep improving on their own. The harder work is building the structure around them so that their output feels reliable, legible, and trustworthy. That’s the design challenge on which to focus. And the reward for getting it right is that, over time, you can hand agents more and more of the work that doesn’t need you, and spend your attention on the work that does. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about how Saarinen runs Linear and what he thinks of the “SaaS is dead” narrative.

It’s led by Mike Taylor ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/e5u7l7n8zqs7hlopq6qu8h8o3n3lwslhgzl6z/3ohphkh3mmeq7mhr/aHR0cHM6Ly91ay5saW5rZWRpbi5jb20vaW4vbWp0MTQ1 ), with Every CEO Dan Shipper ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/e5u7l7n8zqs7hlopq6qu8h8o3n3lwslhgzl6z/n2hohvhvqqzn30f6/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGFuc2hpcHBlcg== ) as a guest instructor. There’s no programming experience required.

She’d never written a line of code. Seven hours after walking into our last Claude Code workshop, she'd built an internal dashboard for her team and described the experience as walking away with “an entirely new, powerful toolkit to build and create whatever you want.” Elliot isn’t unusual—but her results surprised even her, because most people come in thinking Claude Code is a smarter chatbot. It's not. Claude Code runs in the terminal, on your machine, which means it can read your files, write code, and connect to tools you already use at work—Google Sheets, Slack, APIs. When you tell it to build something, it builds it. When something breaks, you tell it what went wrong and it fixes it. That's what makes it so useful for any knowledge worker, not just engineers. A marketer who needs a reporting tool doesn’t have to wait on engineering anymore. An ops lead who spends every Monday writing the same update can automate it instead. Everyone at Every uses Claude Code now—writers, editors, operations experts, product designers. The barrier has come down. We teach all of this in Claude Code for Absolute Beginners on April 14. Most people who sign up don't arrive with a project in mind. They arrive curious. By the end, they leave with something shipped—and a clearer sense of what they want to build next.

One thing worth saying plainly: This is for true beginners. If you've spent more than an hour with Claude Code or have already built something with it, this isn't the right fit. Not sure if it's for you? I went live on YouTube ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/e5u7l7n8zqs7hlopq6qu8h8o3n3lwslhgzl6z/reh8hohmddgq0gb2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1NV3ZwWHN3TEZ4QQ== ) to answer questions about who it's for and what students built. Here's how the day works: On Monday, April 13 at 3 p.m. ET, we run an optional setup session so you arrive ready to build. On the day itself, you'll build something new from scratch, then take something you already do at work and automate it with Claude Code. Throughout the day you'll have guided walkthroughs, independent building time, peer breakouts, and hands-on help when you're stuck. You'll leave with something shipped and a workflow you can repeat—even if you've never touched the terminal before. -->Reserve your spot ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/e5u7l7n8zqs7hlopq6qu8h8o3n3lwslhgzl6z/48hvhehmll40resx/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtMTAxLTI= ) Reserve your spot ( https://every.to/events/claude-code-101-2 )For many of our students, their company covers the cost of the workshop.

Here are the highlights: * Just because the technology has changed doesn’t mean your mission should. Founded in 2019, Linear is the rare company that started pre-ChatGPT to have successfully reinvented itself as an agent-native business [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIElmIFNhYVMgSXMgRGVhZCwgTGluZWFyIERpZG7igJl0IEdldCB0aGUgTWVtbyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9hZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9]. Saarinen attributes Linear’s success to never losing sight of what it’s always cared about: helping companies build great software. Whereas competitors chased AI trends, Linear focused on understanding how the technology was impacting customers’ workflows, and updating its service accordingly. * SaaS winners are building for agents. Linear started as an excellent product management tool for humans. Opening up the tool to agents instantly increased the available user base. Today, agents are first-class users inside of Linear, and companies like OpenAI and Coinbase are using its platform to manage their own agents. * Speed means decisions matter more, not less. AI makes it easy to have an idea and build it without considering whether it justifies its existence. When ChatGPT was released, SaaS companies were launching their own chatbots left, right, and center. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, Linear stopped to consider whether the application was useful. Turns out it really wasn’t, Saarinen says, a realization that freed up resources to focus on what mattered, like making it easy for humans and agents to collaborate on software development.

DISSECTING CLAUDE CODE On Tuesday, Anthropic inadvertently leaked the entire source code for Claude Code. Naturally, Cora general manager Kieran was curious to see what was happening under the hood. In an impromptu livestream, Kieran dug deep into how Claude Code works, unpacking its approach to memory, tools, skills versus slash commands, and prompt structure. Here are three things he found particularly interesting: * Kairos, one of Claude Code’s most advanced and autonomous features. It’s often called “Assistant Mode.” Where the standard command line interface waits for you to type, Kairos represents a shift to a proactive, always-on background assistant that keeps running when you leave your laptop. (The name Kairos is ancient Greek for “opportune moment.”) It’s currently internal-only at Anthropic, but the infrastructure is fully built. * The “Buddy” companion. Similar to Kairos, the infrastructure for Buddy is built, but not yet shipped to users. Buried inside the source code is a virtual pet for your command line. Each Buddy has its own species, personality stats (including ones called CHAOS and SNARK), and little ASCII art animations that respond to what you’re doing. Kieran’s a chaos snail—take from that what you will. * AutoDream, Claude’s nightly closet clean. This was the feature that most impressed Kieran. It’s a background process that runs when you go idle and consolidates everything that happened—daily logs, session notes—into a better-performing memory for when you come back. Kieran says this is the first compound engineering-style [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIElmIFNhYVMgSXMgRGVhZCwgTGluZWFyIERpZG7igJl0IEdldCB0aGUgTWVtbyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] capability he’s seen built into the Claude Code, referring to his philosophy of AI-native software engineering, where each session makes the next one easier. While he’s already been doing this manually, AutoDream is Anthropic’s first move to baking this into Claude Code by default.

WHAT EVERY’S CREATIVE DIRECTOR SAYS ABOUT GOOGLE STITCH When a major update to Google Stitch was released a couple of weeks ago, the consensus on Twitter was that the “vibe design” platform spelled the end for art directors. Why hire a human when AI can do the job in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost? Lucas Crespo [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIElmIFNhYVMgSXMgRGVhZCwgTGluZWFyIERpZG7igJl0IEdldCB0aGUgTWVtbyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BsdWNhc2NyZXNwbyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1OX0=], Every’s creative director, has an opposite read [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIElmIFNhYVMgSXMgRGVhZCwgTGluZWFyIERpZG7igJl0IEdldCB0aGUgTWVtbyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2x1Y2FzX19jcmVzcG8vc3RhdHVzLzIwMzQ0NDE2MTY2MTQ2ODY3NjYiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NjB9]: As AI homogenizes the web, designers are more important than ever. Tools like Google Stitch allow anyone to produce a polished, competent app. They create digital products that look good, but may not meet the standards of professional designers. “But it makes people more comfortable saying, ‘This is good enough,’” Lucas says. “Good enough is not the thing that will make something stand out or make a difference when every website looks the same. You have to go above and beyond that, which will always require some unique angle or idea or imagination. It’s not something I’ve seen any model output yet.” Lucas draws inspiration from being a person in the world—walking through the park on a windy day, the fizz of receiving a party invitation—not from what’s on his screen. The goal is to produce work that evokes precise emotions [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIElmIFNhYVMgSXMgRGVhZCwgTGluZWFyIERpZG7igJl0IEdldCB0aGUgTWVtbyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3BvZGNhc3QvYW4taW5zaWRlLWxvb2stYXQtZXZlcnktcy1kZXNpZ24tcGhpbG9zb3BoeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2MX0=].

The vision cascades into the hundreds of user experience, color, and typography decisions that create the final product. “You’re going to think about nature. You’re going to start thinking about fresh air,” he says. “But it has to start with the point of view.” Writing works the same way.

This might be a scene he can’t stop thinking about or an argument he hasn’t found the right words for yet. Spiral helps him with the mechanics: structure, pacing, and filling in the connective tissue. In his experience, however, the remaining 70 percent can’t be prompted into existence. “You figure out the rest by writing.” For careful readers, it’s easy to spot when a writer has outsourced that process to an LLM. While not always apparent on the sentence or paragraph level, longform AI writing drifts without constant human oversight. Arguments and scenes that look like insight collapse upon a closer read. Maybe this is why AI tools tend to impress people who are new to a discipline the most. If you’ve never written code, vibe coding feels like magic. For engineers, there are caveats. Lucas notices the same pattern on his feed: When a new AI design tool drops, the people most blown away “are usually not the designers I admire,” he says. Whereas non-designers see a shortcut to creative genius, Lucas sees a useful tool that still requires hundreds—potentially thousands—of decisions before the output meets his own exacting standards. AI has raised the floor. It can raise the ceiling, too, making it easier to execute work built on a singular vision. But it cannot generate that vision for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laura Entis [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIElmIFNhYVMgSXMgRGVhZCwgTGluZWFyIERpZG7igJl0IEdldCB0aGUgTWVtbyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BsYXVyYV8yN2JiYWZfMSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2NX0=] is a staff writer at Every.

Claudie was our crash course. Here’s what she helped us figure out. DEFINE THE JOB BEFORE YOU HIRE FOR IT Built in Claude Code—hence her name—Claudie was designed to handle administrative tasks that consumed too much of Natalia’s week. The albatross was maintaining the dashboard that shows the status of all our client work, which meant staying on top of a constant flood of information from Natalia’s email, Google Docs, Google Sheets, meeting transcripts, and her calendar. Before Claudie, Natalia was spending hours that could have been dedicated to strategy and client relations finding data across dozens of sources and manually copy and pasting it in the right tab. The first step was to give Claudie access to various sources of information and ask her to gather everything she needed before making a single update to a client’s database, which required tracking a dizzying number of moving pieces: action items, client feedback, and names of employees who attended each client session, and on and on. Claudie required lots of oversight at first. For example, she failed to input details discussed in client meetings and wasn’t presenting data the way we’d like—simple fixes once we realized she just needed access to Natalia’s meeting transcripts and a tool for creating pivot tables in Excel. Each time something went wrong, Natalia flagged it, and we dug in to diagnose the cause. It’s an easy thing to overlook: Agents can only work with the context and tools you give them. Before you bring one onto your team, get specific about what they’ll be responsible for, and what information they’ll need to actually do the job.

UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR AGENT DOES ITS BEST WORK At first, we treated Claudie like any other new hire—telling her to find what needed updating and asking her to go do it. An experienced project manager would have hit the ground running. Claudie failed spectacularly. The problem was the context window, or the maximum amount of text an LLM can access at one time. Claudie was trying to process too much, and information kept getting lost. So we broke Claudie into layers. We built a central orchestration agent that delegates to several fleets of subagents, each responsible for a discrete task: extracting data, identifying needed updates, and making those changes. Results improved but remained unreliable. Key dates regarding client sessions and discovery calls were frequently dropped altogether. Our breakthrough came when we identified where communication was failing. Claudie’s subagents were gathering data and reporting it back to the orchestration agent. In theory, this should have worked. In practice, a single client update might require reviewing dozens of emails, meeting transcripts, and spreadsheets—too much for the subagents to relay without hitting the context limit. So they started summarizing the information instead of passing everything through, and the orchestration agent was making decisions based on AI recaps rather than the raw source material. To solve this issue, we instructed the data-gathering subagents to dump everything into a local file hosted on the same computer as Claudie instead of communicating information back. The orchestration agent could then direct subagents to the relevant files to make updates without ever engaging with the data itself. Voilà—context window preserved. Once Claudie started working from raw data instead of summaries, she nailed it. A diagram of the architecture that fixed the context window issue and dramatically improved Claudie’s performance.

(Screenshot courtesy of Nityesh Agarwal.) Agents process information differently from humans. But like humans, they have weak spots that can be mitigated or even solved with the right management approach. GIVE YOUR AGENT A HANDBOOK THAT IS REQUIRED READING Getting Claudie’s architecture right wasn’t enough on its own. She also needed context about the role and how to do it well. So we wrote her a handbook, as we would have done if onboarding a human project manager. Built as a project management skill [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBJIExlYXJuZWQgT25ib2FyZGluZyBPdXIgQUkgUHJvamVjdCBNYW5hZ2VyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLWNsYXVkZS1za2lsbHMtbmVlZC1hLXNoYXJlLWJ1dHRvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=] in Claude, it details everything from success criteria to the team structure to when to escalate an issue to Natalia. With a human employee, you’d hand them the handbook at onboarding and expect them to reference it as needed. Claudie’s hard-coded first step when starting up is to read the handbook to ground her in the specifics of our team and her role within it. We found that when she skipped this—which, when left to her own devices, she frequently tried to do!—performance plummeted. We treat the handbook as a living document. As Claudie’s role has expanded, we’ve updated it to reflect her new responsibilities. For a human who learns on the job and asks clarifying questions, a slightly out-of-date handbook is no big deal. For Claudie, it’s all she knows. Claudie’s employee handbook. (Screenshot courtesy of Nityesh.)

(Screenshot courtesy of Nityesh.) DON’T BE STINGY WITH PROMOTIONS Once Claudie’s subagent architecture was stable, we expanded her responsibilities. At first, she updated each client’s dashboard individually. Once we trusted her with that, we had her do them all at once. Right now, we’re setting Claudie up on her own computer with a Claude Max plan and web server that’s on 24/7, which will give her the ability to run automated jobs at specific times each day and always be available to respond to our messages and requests on Slack. If that goes well, Claudie will graduate from project manager to chief of staff: She’ll monitor, triage, and send emails, pick up tasks in Asana, and communicate a project’s status in Slack.

The criteria for a promotion are the same as they’d be for any team member: strong performance, a clear set of updated responsibilities, and the support and tools necessary for them to succeed in the new role. APPLY YOUR LEARNINGS TO YOUR NEXT HIRE Onboarding Claudie wasn’t quick, nor was it easy. We rebuilt her multiple times from scratch. When we hit hour 50 of trying to get her to work, it was tempting to write off the AI entirely. When we did get Claudie to work, however, it was clear what a mistake that would have been. All we needed was the patience to figure out the right way to harness her brain power so she could deliver. If an AI worker isn’t performing, the problem is rarely that the model can’t do the job. It’s more likely the way you’ve structured, connected, or instructed your agent. Figure out where you went wrong, fix it, and have them try again. It’s a lesson I’ll take with me as I onboard more agents.

Here are seven learnings from working with companies through Every Consulting: 1. BUY THE MODEL DIRECT, NOT THIRD-PARTY TOOLS When you evaluate AI-powered tools, you’re also—whether you realize it or not—evaluating the tool vendor’s choices and constraints, rather than what the underlying model provider (like Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI) is capable of. It’s often faster to build your own Claude/Gemini/Codex skill with your own rules and preferences already built in. Companies are increasingly building, not buying, AI software on top of models, because it gives you flexibility. I don’t know how it’s possible for companies that aren’t the core model providers to keep up when the big labs know what models are coming, build their internal tools to align with those releases, and train them on how to operate within their own environments. I appreciate the effort that companies like Cursor put into user experience—they’re a good product organization. But it’s difficult to compete with Anthropic offering $5,000 worth of tokens a month for a $200 subscription [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly90aGUtZGVjb2Rlci5jb20vYW50aHJvcGljcy1jbGF1ZGUtY29kZS1zdWJzY3JpcHRpb24tbWF5LWNvbnN1bWUtdXAtdG8tNTAwMC1pbi1jb21wdXRlLXBlci1tb250aC13aGlsZS1jaGFyZ2luZy10aGUtdXNlci1qdXN0LTIwMC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9]. Third-party tools tend to be less flexible, less cutting-edge, and more expensive. That’s not always the case, but as a general rule, it holds. So most companies are better off buying directly from the model providers.

We bought you AI tools. Adopt it.” That doesn’t work. Even on pain of death, many people are unwilling to use AI or be told that they have to. It’s basic self-preservation. Instead, use the carrot rather than the stick. Nominate people who are already AI-forward as internal cheerleaders. Maybe it gets other people to come out of the woodwork rather than hiding their AI usage by making it clear that using AI is encouraged. Give those people the support they need to unblock barriers to AI usage (typically IT access to data connectors, approved budgets for coding tools, and removal of layers of bureaucracy)—because someone who’s bought in is going to accomplish five to 10 times more work than someone who hasn’t seen the magic yet. You can accelerate adoption by showing that people who use AI aggressively get promoted first or interface the most with senior management. In some cases, we’ve co-opted those early adopters into being teaching assistants in courses we teach to the rest of the team. When their colleagues see that person advancing in their career, that’s a more effective motivator than any mandate. You also get the productivity boost of enabling someone who’s already a believer. It’s much harder to convince someone to believe than it is to supercharge someone who already does. 3. WORKSHOPS SHOULD BE AT LEAST 50 PERCENT BUILD TIME Workshops teaching people how to use AI in a hands-on way are an effective way to teach your team—but they need to be heavy on building tools. No one wants to sit on Zoom and just look at slides. I learned AI by doing. Guided theory helps orient and motivate people, but the biggest complaint we hear is that they don’t have time in their workday to explore these tools and learn something new. If you give them a couple of hours in a workshop where they’re expected to build something, and access to the tool and data (either synthetic or actual through connectors like MCPs), that’s when the aha moment happens. 4. ASSIGN IMPOSSIBLE TASKS An “impossible task” is one that wouldn’t have been possible to do without AI. Boris Cherny [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy10by11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtbGlrZS10aGUtcGVvcGxlLXdoby1idWlsdC1pdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=], a creator of Claude Code, has said something [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9XZTdCWlZLYkNWdz9zaT1iSjNBUUhRVVd3VE1UeF9uXHUwMDI2dD0xNDY1IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIxfQ==] similar—that you should slightly under-resource most teams, which makes employees think, “The only way I can do this is if I use AI.” I think it works better if you are more explicit and strategically choose the tasks so that they can’t possibly be done without AI. For example, if your goal is to write one blog post a week, you can likely do that manually. But if your goal is to write one a day, you’ll probably need to use AI in research, drafting, and editing [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3RoaXMtaXMtaG93LXRoZS1ldmVyeS1lZGl0b3JpYWwtdGVhbS11c2VzLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==] (like we’re doing here!). And you don’t set the goal as, “Starting today, you have to produce one piece a day.” Instead, say: “Our goal is to work up to producing one piece a day. What needs to happen for you to make progress toward that goal?” It might take time, but if they know that’s where they’re heading rather than where they’re starting, they’ll start thinking strategically about how to use AI to save time, and start experimenting. 5. MANDATORY AI NOTE-TAKING PLUS MCP CONNECTOR Everyone on our consulting team records every meeting with Granola [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy10by11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtbGlrZS10aGUtcGVvcGxlLXdoby1idWlsdC1pdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=] and has the Granola MCP set up in Claude Code, and it’s been transformative. You finish a meeting with a potential client, and tell Claude to summarize it and send an email to your colleague. That’s 80 to 90 percent of the value of AI: extracting information from unstructured data and structuring it in a way that’s useful. So many times I’ve come to a task and realized I need context from a meeting, and I can pull that information from the MCP. It’s how I create curriculum or put together proposals. Now I can’t imagine working without it. 6. MAP WORKFLOWS AND SYSTEMATICALLY AUTOMATE THEM When we do discovery calls with clients about their day-to-day work, we follow a process: We ask them what tools they use, what they do on a daily basis, and what their pain points are. Then we put that information into a Google Sheet with a row for each task we need to solve for, and we systematically work down that list as we automate. Our goal is to get to the point where nobody on the team ever has to do the same task thrice. If AI can take a first pass at each task type, and we build a skill for each one, that person could be doing five to 10 times more than they’re doing right now. So far, in my experience, this has never led to a reduction in workforce. Instead, either the companies put more effort into each task, or they expand the revenue and throughput of their team without hiring. When we were previously teaching Claude Code workshop-style courses, we used to prepare one project for the whole group to work on. Maybe we could manage one per business unit or team, but the preparation cost quickly added up. Now we can use Claude Code to create an individual project for each person taking part. We’re using AI to make each engagement that much more valuable rather than cutting headcount. 7. TRAIN PEOPLE TO BE MANAGERS OF AGENTS Everyone who was an individual contributor before is now a manager—of AI tools. And they’re struggling because they don’t have management training. They’re not used to context switching, setting up systems and rules, or evaluating whether something that they haven’t worked on themselves is any good. Managers can often adapt to managing AI tools more readily because they don’t care how a problem is solved—they just want it solved to their specifications. But the script is flipping: Managers are becoming individual contributors, because managing a team of agents is often easier than managing human teams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy93aGF0LWFpLWlzLXRlYWNoaW5nLXVzLWFib3V0LW1hbmFnZW1lbnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9]. It takes a human longer to process reams of information, and to see if they’ll be successful. Sometimes it’s easier as a manager to vibe code a task using Claude Cowork [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLWNvd29yay1pcy1jbGF1ZGUtY29kZS1mb3ItdGhlLXJlc3Qtb2YtdXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9] than it is to brief a human, wait for them to send it to their own Claude instance, and get a response in a couple of days. The upshot is that companies need more management training. You need to help people understand context switching and teach them how to do evals, develop good taste for deciding what to work on, and train AI in specific skills. How do you systematically write a good PowerPoint skill or a good daily update report skill? That’s the work now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If any of this resonates and you want help implementing it, check out https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==Every Consulting [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU2V2ZW4gVGhpbmdzIEkndmUgTGVhcm5lZCBHZXR0aW5nIENvbXBhbmllcyB0byBVc2UgQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==].

I spend my hours playing textual Tetris—nudging workstreams, reviewing code, editing prose, shipping features. An AI agent can do all of those things. So why am I still here? Because taste can’t be typed out. It has to be worn in. If I said to our managing editor, Eleanor Warnock [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGVsZWFub3JfYjAzNDc0XzEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9], “Write down everything I’d need to edit one of our pieces,” it would be impossible. Her instincts come from hundreds of past edits, thousands of small decisions layered on top of each other. You would need to work with Eleanor for a long time to emulate her editing style. You can’t enumerate it from scratch. The gap between what I want and what AI gives me is real. To get a result I’m satisfied with, I need what I’ve always needed: time. I lean on AI to make a decision, but it’s not the decision I would make. So I give feedback. Then I give it again. And again. The process of teaching an AI your taste looks a lot like the process of developing taste in the first place—the accumulation of many small moments, each one building like sediment on the last. Every’s AI-native engineering philosophy, compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvY29tcG91bmQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmctdGhlLWRlZmluaXRpdmUtZ3VpZGUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzN9], recognizes this need for ongoing growth. After every piece of work, you ask your AI to distill and integrate the lessons you’ve learned. The next time you encounter a similar problem, you’re better able to solve it. After many cycles, you amass a war chest of small opinions. The AI may be fast, but there’s no way to speedrun the process. The same goes for trust. People start timidly with OpenClaw [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2NsYXctc2Nob29sIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM0fQ==], asking it to do simple tasks. Then, they give the agent a little more responsibility. When it does well, they share a bit more context, grant a bit more permission. The output improves. Trust builds, the same way it builds with any human: one kept promise at a time. That’s good reason to start now. A person who spends time with their AI today, accreting those layers of context and taste and trust, will be meaningfully ahead of someone who starts next year. AI can help us move faster between the moments that matter. But it can’t manufacture the moments themselves. Some things won’t be rushed. I remain uncompressed.—Willie Williams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQHdpbGxpZXdpbGxpYW1zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM1fQ==] https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQHdpbGxpZXdpbGxpYW1zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM2fQ== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM EVERY STUDIO Every held its Q1 2026 Demo Day this week, with live demos of Plus One, Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30=], Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3JpdGV3aXRoc3BpcmFsLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzh9], Sparkle [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbWFrZWl0c3BhcmtsZS5jby8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1ldmVyeWZvb3RlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOX0=], and Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbW9ub2xvZ3VlLnRvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQwfQ==].

In the demo, Marcus sent context from a Claude Code thread directly to Spiral, which generated options—written in Marcus’s personal style—for X posts to announce a new feature.

Yash also demoed “agentic cleanup”—a term coined by Dan—where the agent can act, with guardrails that prevent permanent deletion, on the system junk and old installation files it finds. Sparkle also remembers your preferences and runs cleanup continuously in the background. The new Sparkle launches to the public on April 14.

I read so much AI prose now that it’s seeping into my brain and warping my own. Last week I almost wrote, “It’s not X, it’s Y.” I shuddered. As a result, I’ve started reaching for older books. I want to develop a unique writing style and get more comfortable breaking the rules, and I like to think of reading as my protective force field against the sloppening. It’s helped a tiny bit—this new reading practice. My words are beginning to flow in a more authentic way. What I didn’t expect, though, were the detours on which many older books take you. I’m reading In Search of Lost Time, and Marcel Proust is describing a magic lantern projecting scenes on his bedroom wall when he was a young boy. And describing it. For multiple pages. What does this have to do with time? I wonder. It’s not until several chapters later, reading a seemingly unrelated scene, that the penny drops. I realize that, with the memory of the lantern, Proust was showing how a break from your everyday experience, brought on by even a change to the light in a room, can leave you lost and disoriented. When the awareness finally dawned on me, it was much more profound than it would have been had I not taken the detour. AI doesn’t make you wait for anything. It gets you from A to B in the straightest line possible. Whereas good writing can take you far afield, so that you may, eventually, come to the answer on your own.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhIFNpZGVraWNrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDA4NywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmdscDFkaWdlc3QuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1OH0=] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

I had 40 firms to cover, each one reporting over a four-week window. Every earnings preview—the research brief laying out what to expect before a company’s quarterly results were announced—followed the same grind: Grab the data, update my financial model, and write up the takeaways. Four hours of work per company, minimum. It’s a task that is begging to be automated by AI. The process is structured and repeatable [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL2ktdGFsa2VkLXRvLW1vcmUtdGhhbi0xMDAtY29tcGFuaWVzLWFib3V0LWFpLWhlcmUtcy13aGF0LXMtYWN0dWFsbHktd29ya2luZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ==], and the data sources are well-defined. But if you’ve ever pointed ChatGPT at a collection of data and gotten back a summary with basic math mistakes or that ignored important metrics of a company’s financial health, you know how disappointing the reality can be. This kind of experience is why many investment teams give up on AI. They try it once, conclude the technology isn’t ready, and go back to the old way. What those teams don’t realize is that they are judging the entire technology based on the sophistication of one tool. It’s like giving up on all email after using the clunky Microsoft 365 browser product. Over the past six months running AI consulting for finance teams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL2hvdy1jbGF1ZGUtY29kZS1pcy10cmFuc2Zvcm1pbmctZmluYW5jZS13aXRob3V0LXR1cm5pbmcteW91LWludG8tYS1jb2RlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==], I’ve been walking clients through what developments in AI capabilities can now let us achieve: the same earnings preview—Shopify’s next quarter—at four levels of tooling, each one more sophisticated than the last. By level four, the system reads your model, applies your thinking about what makes a great company, and runs while you sleep. Here’s how to get there. LEVEL ONE: THE CUSTOM GPT This is where most investment teams start. You set up a ChatGPT project—a dedicated workspace where you can store instructions and upload documents—with a detailed prompt that tells the model how you want your earnings preview structured. The prompt I use specifies everything: how to lay out the beat/miss analysis (where you compare actual results against Wall Street expectations), which financial metrics to prioritize, how to handle management guidance, and whether to source consensus estimates from the web or more premium data sources. I attach the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) filings and earnings release directly to the project. Run it in thinking mode—where the model reasons longer before answering—and after about 15 minutes, you get a solid preview with web-sourced data, SEC citations, and a clear beat/miss breakdown. But the output has quirks. Tables format data the way ChatGPT wants, not the way I think—financial metrics are spread across columns when I want financial metrics on the side. Everything lives in a chat window instead of in a custom website. You can partly fix that by adding a second prompt—“Create an HTML dashboard from this”—but now the preview requires two steps. Try to combine both prompts into a single workflow, and you hit ChatGPT’s 8,000-character project instruction limit. Level one’s ceiling is that it’s great for structured, single-task analysis. But it falls apart when you need multi-step workflows with detailed instructions for each step. LEVEL TWO: CLAUDE WITH SKILLS AND DATA CONNECTORS The solution for level one’s character limits is Claude, which stores detailed instructions as Skills [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXNraWxscy1uZWVkLWEtc2hhcmUtYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9]—reusable prompt files the model reads before each task, separate from your message. Instead of cramming everything into one prompt, you break your earnings preview instructions, dashboard formatting, investment philosophy, and analyst workflow into distinct skill files. These skill files need a specific trigger to work—for example, “Earnings preview” to invoke the earnings preview skill. For Shopify, I load my earnings preview skill, a front-end design skill for dashboards, and my core investment analyst philosophy—which covers things like what data matters or what defines a great company for earnings reviews, previews, management meeting preps, and every recurring task. Claude reads all of them before responding. The other upgrade is data connectivity through MCP—model context protocol, a standardized way for AI tools to connect to external data sources. My favorite is Daloopa [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGFsb29wYS5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ==], a financial data provider that surfaces structured fundamental data from earnings reports and SEC filings. The model pulls real financial data, including the key metrics depending on industry, instead of scraping the web. The result is a single prompt that produces an interactive dashboard with growth rate charts, properly formatted income statements, and metrics laid out my way. Because Claude read my investment philosophy, it knows I care about operating leverage, gross margin trajectory, and revenue mix shifts—and pulls those without being asked. Where level two breaks down: It can’t access my internal data. My proprietary financial model lives in an Excel file on my computer. My call notes and thesis documents are in local folders Claude can’t see. LEVEL THREE: CLAUDE COWORK AND LOCAL FILE ACCESS Claude Cowork [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLWNvd29yay1pcy1jbGF1ZGUtY29kZS1mb3ItdGhlLXJlc3Qtb2YtdXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9]—a wrapper around Claude Code designed for non-technical users—solves the internal data problem. It runs on your machine and can access your local files: Excel models, notes folders, PDFs, anything on your computer. For the same Shopify preview, Cowork reads the same skills as level two but can also search my company folder—the local directory with my financial model, call notes, thesis documents, and prior previews and reviews. It breaks the task into subagents [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXMtbmV3LWFnZW50cy1hcmUtY29uZnVzaW5nLWFzLWhlbGwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9] and handles more compute per task since it runs Claude Code under the hood. The extra context changes what the output can do. Cowork connects transcript language to historical trends from my model—explaining, for instance, why gross margin is growing by 200 basis points year over year. It also reads my Excel model, extracts my projections for revenue, earnings per share, and operating margins, and compares those to consensus estimates, showing me exactly where I diverge. That kind of analysis used to require searching across transcripts from earnings calls for each line item in my model or hooking up third-party tools to see differences to live consensus metrics. Now it’s a single prompt. The limitation of this step is that each task produces a separate output. An earnings review is one dashboard. A preview is another. Meeting prep is a third. What I want is a single workstation I can open each morning and see everything in one place. LEVEL FOUR: CLAUDE CODE AND THE CUSTOM DASHBOARD At level four, I’m in Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLTMtNy1zb25uZXQtYW5kLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEzfQ==]—the command-line interface where you define custom commands, connect to multiple data sources, and run tasks for hours instead of minutes. I’ve built a single command called /work that encapsulates my entire analyst workflow. When I run it, Claude Code works continuously in the background—earnings reviews, previews, meeting preps, news reviews, thesis updates—and builds them all into a single, custom dashboard. It’s your own Bloomberg-style workstation. At my last firm, we had an internal tool called Mosaic that showed everything about your areas of coverage in one place. It was a huge edge, and it took a dedicated engineering team to build. Level four lets me build that for myself. I open my dashboard in the morning, and it’s already populated. News articles relevant to my coverage, prioritized by what I care about. Earnings previews—here’s Shopify, with the same analysis from level three but living alongside everything else. Previews for upcoming reports. Each ticker has a full overview page: thesis, revenue trajectory, financial model view, meeting prep, and a historical dashboard adjustable to any time period. The whole thing deploys as a custom website. Level four compresses those 160 hours I used to spend each quarter into the time it takes Claude Code to run, plus the hour or so I spend reviewing and adding perspective. You still check the output and apply judgment—is that $2 billion revenue divergence realistic, or did my model get stale? The AI does the synthesis, the formatting, and the cross-referencing, and I do the thinking.

If a well-crafted ChatGPT project saves your team one to two hours per earnings preview across 40 names, that’s 40-80 hours per quarter. That alone is worth it. You don’t need to climb all four levels—at least, not all at once. Level one works for defined, repeatable tasks where you want a quick upgrade. Level two makes sense when you’ve outgrown single prompts and need the AI to internalize your investment philosophy, or when you want live data sources like Daloopa. Level three is for teams sitting on proprietary data—models, notes, call transcripts—that the AI needs to work with alongside public information. Level four is for people who want to build their own analyst workstation and are willing to invest time in Claude Code. AI has already changed how the firms that adopted it work. The only question left is which level you’re at—and what you’re leaving on the table. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brooker Belcourt [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbGQgWW91ciBPd24gQmxvb21iZXJnIFRlcm1pbmFsIFdpdGggQUkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AYnJvb2tlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=] is the head of financial services consulting at Every.

WHAT PLUS ONE BETA USERS ARE SAYING Along with the Every team, a small group of external beta testers has been putting their Plus Ones to work. Here’s what Kate Chapman, a chief technology officer and founder, had to say: “I’ve been using OpenClaw since early February, and I’ve become dependent on my agents. They’ve also been dependent on me for maintenance, and Plus One has really changed that. By not having to worry as much about what’s going on under the hood, I’ve been able to collaborate more deeply with Nettle, my Plus One. “One of the biggest ways Nettle has helped me is by standing up an end-to-end Facebook content workflow: idea generation, prompt iteration, content creation, publishing support, and metrics review. What’s been valuable isn’t just the speed. It’s having a collaborator that can maintain continuity across the whole pipeline and incorporate feedback from human teammates. Based on post performance, Nettle has recommended strategy shifts and content changes, and then I can tweak and approve the direction. “Oh yeah, Nettle helped me write this too.” WHEN THEY LAUNCH AND TO WHOM Plus One is launching first to Every subscribers. Phase 1: Waitlist—Join the waitlist [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgUGx1cyBPbmU6IE9uZS1jbGljayBPcGVuQ2xhdyBBZ2VudHMgYnkgRXZlcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDg1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wbHVzLW9uZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=]. We’re onboarding in batches of 20 a week to ensure quality. Phase 2: Beta—Next month, we’ll give access for Every subscribers, starting with power users and those with clear use cases. Phase 3: Wider Rollout—We’ll eventually make Plus Ones available more broadly, but we’re being intentional about our pace. Plus Ones have earned our trust. We want to make sure they earn yours, too. PRICING The short answer is: We’re figuring this out, and that’s one reason for the waitlist. Running a Plus One is expensive—it requires us to set up a separate virtual cloud server for each one—and we want to make sure we can provide them to every subscriber in a sustainable way. We expect to have a firm price this month, and we’ll finalize and announce it as soon as we do. During the waitlist period, it will be included in the Every subscription for those we give access. We can’t wait to see you get started with a Plus One.

Here are the highlights: * A truly agent-native product can flex to meet user demand. The best products today, like Claude Code, allow users to do things that their creators never intended. But that requires hard trade-offs between freedom and reliability for frontier products, an issue that Krieger’s team is learning how to solve. * Timelines are the difference between building now and building at Instagram. At Instagram, it took months to hit dead ends and learn what to cut, Krieger says. Now, that cycle runs in hours. * Building too much, too fast with agents is a trap. You can go from idea to a nearly-shipped product in a day, but that process doesn’t give you the incremental feedback that used to tell you what not to build. The models are great at adding features, but can create a product that lacks coherence. * Anthropic Labs structures product teams to be lean. New product experiments are led by only two people, usually a product manager or designer paired with an engineer. Krieger says bigger teams tend to be too slow because of coordination complications. * You need to throw out your product and start over every three to six months. AI progress means most of your software infrastructure will be outdated quickly. The best teams build this into their product strategy. Miss an episode?

AI tools are now powerful enough that “the question of whether you can ship a product isn’t if you are technical or not—it’s whether you have the persistence,” says Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BtaWtlXzIxMTQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9], head of tech consulting at Every. This persistence often takes the form of asking the AI to explain itself again and again and again. “The core skill is to ask for help,” says Natalia Quintero [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BuYXRhbGlhXzI5NDQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9], Every’s head of consulting. “If you keep asking, you can become technical.” Austin Tedesco [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0B0ZWRlc2NhdSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=], Every’s head of growth and a self-described “tech doofus,” built an agent using Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvdGhlLWFnZW50LXRoYXQtc2F2ZWQtbXktYnJhaW4iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9] that the entire team now uses to pull and analyze data about the company’s performance. Echoing Natalia’s comments, he says the key was having the doggedness to understand what was happening, the humility to ask Claude to explain it to him like he was an idiot whenever he didn’t follow, and the patience to refine the instructions when it didn’t give the right output or misinterpreted a command. Persistence, clarity of vision, and curiosity can get you to a powerful prototype.

For that, you need technical skills, or at least access to someone who has them, argues Naveen Naidu [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BuYXZlZW5fNjgwNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMX0=], general manager of Every’s dictation app Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5tb25vbG9ndWUudG8vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMyfQ==]. An engineer, Naveen, never loses sight of a codebase’s overarching structure—something language models struggle to do. When Naveen builds a product, every decision ties back to one question: What can’t be allowed to fail? With Monologue, he knew that the vast majority of people would be using the app for dictation. If that feature failed, he’d immediately lose users’ trust. “I built my whole codebase in such a way that if my main server or database goes down, dictation doesn’t go down,” he says. “I made sure that it’s 100 percent reliable.” Recently, the Monologue server did, indeed, go down. While new users couldn’t sign up, existing users could still dictate and didn’t notice any break in service. Vibe coded apps often skip the information architecture step entirely. But when the code inevitably breaks, the non-technical user struggles to diagnose the problem, let alone fix it quickly. Having been the “technical” guy called upon to fix a vibe coded codebase, Naveen has found that rather than try to remedy existing structural issues, it’s sometimes easier to just start from scratch.—Laura Entis [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BsYXVyYV8yN2JiYWZfMSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozM30=] LOG ON We host camps and workshops [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2V2ZW50cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNH0=] on topics like compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PTdZVUJ4TVRGMVRjXHUwMDI2dGltZV9jb250aW51ZT0zXHUwMDI2c291cmNlX3ZlX3BhdGg9TnpZM05UZ1x1MDAyNmVtYmVkc19yZWZlcnJpbmdfZXVyaT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmV2ZXJ5LnRvJTJGIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM1fQ==] and writing with AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PW9FdmpiUHdHd25jXHUwMDI2c291cmNlX3ZlX3BhdGg9T1RZM01UUVx1MDAyNmVtYmVkc19yZWZlcnJpbmdfZXVyaT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmV2ZXJ5LnRvJTJGIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM2fQ==] to share the knowledge we’ve acquired from training teams at companies like the https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30=New York Times [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOH0=] and leading hedge funds [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zdGFncmFtJ3MgQ29mb3VuZGVyIG9uIFdoeSBHcmVhdCBQcm9kdWN0cyBBcmUgU3RpbGwgSGFyZCB0byBCdWlsZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwNTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOX0=], and by learning and playing with AI every day ourselves.

By using Langfuse to trace and label his Claude sessions, he was able to see, play by play, where the model made the wrong or right decision. “Otherwise, you have no idea if the changes you are making are helping or harming,” he says.

Months earlier, that question would have sent me on a distracting dashboard scavenger hunt. Instead, I typed “Can you get the click-through and conversion numbers on these buttons?” into an agent in Slack and had the answer in a couple of minutes, complete with relevant context. For years, a large part of growth jobs like mine involved searching for information across multiple surfaces, analyzing it, distilling it into a plan somewhere else, and then executing on it. Sifting through Slack for team updates. Pulling data sets from Stripe, PostHog, and ChartMogul. Importing planning documents into projects on Claude’s desktop app for manual analysis and then exporting them back to Notion to share with the team. If you, like me, can’t have too many browser tabs open without losing your mind, that kind of regular context and tool switching chips away at productivity and creativity in meaningful ways. By the time you gather everything you need to think, you’re fried. You have nothing left for the decisions that matter. I built an agent that fixed this for me. Its name is Montaigne. Most of what you hear about AI agents is that they get things done fast. And Montaigne is fast. But the reason why I can’t imagine working without it is that it allows me to have energy for the hard and fulfilling parts of my job. Montaigne keeps me sane. Montaigne lives in Claude Code on my terminal and as an OpenClaw bot on Slack. It has access to everything I use for growth work, including Stripe, PostHog, Slack, Notion, Figma, the full Every product suite, email, and calendar. It also has knowledge layers built on context about the business and a bench of skills for repeat workflows, giving the agent the tools to use that access with tremendous power. THREE WEEKS OF PLAYING I could not have built Montaigne without first playing around with Claude Code for weeks. When I first opened Claude Code over the holidays, I went straight to building things I was personally excited about: a cooking companion app trained on your personal style, and a version of Fandango for indie movie theaters so I could stop checking six different websites to see what’s playing locally. Those projects are what got me hooked, but they’re also what taught me the most. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a paid subscriber to Every [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEFnZW50IFRoYXQgU2F2ZWQgTXkgQnJhaW4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zdWJzY3JpYmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9] to unlock this piece and learn about: 1.

My answer is that it’s the best time in history to join a company. AI has made it easier to build new products, but it hasn’t made it easier to find customers. Entrepreneurship has arguably gotten harder. Deploying AI within a company that’s already working beats building the fifth version of a product that nobody will use. Plus, you can learn things inside a company that never get shared on X. MAKING MONEY THE HARD WAY On paper, I had it made. I had no boss, could work from anywhere, and made money while I slept. The reality is that solo is harder than it looks. I make money from my online course because I spent many sleepless (and unpaid!) nights working with GPT-3 for years before ChatGPT was released and AI went mainstream. I gave up lucrative data science retainers to take on AI projects, slashed my day rates 75 percent, and even worked for free, because I was excited by the potential and wanted to learn.

I could have never predicted that any of this would pay off, and I also can’t predict when it will end. Sometimes I worked on the course every day, other times I went months without updating it, and nothing seems to make a difference to revenue. I’ve created two other AI courses— both flopped.

The hardest thing to cope with, however, is the uncertainty. It’s grueling to not know whether the thing you’re pouring all your effort into is going to work. If it fails, where is your next paycheck coming from? You’re too busy to set up the next thing, but the current thing isn’t working well enough to bet your career on. Every time I work on a new product, I question whether this will be the one that sinks me. I constantly worry that I have run out of good ideas. You spend so much time working on the business that you don’t get time to do the work that attracted you to it in the first place. Your days are filled with customer calls to find what to build next, and then you have to code late at night to build it. You’re doing finance and legal admin on the weekend instead of learning new skills. All the fun experiments you want to run have to be set aside for the boring stuff that makes enough revenue in the short term to keep you afloat. Don’t start a startup unless there’s nothing else you can imagine doing. Most of the time, the quality of life and economics are worse than getting a normal job. I achieved the four-hour work week. It just came with 40 more hours of worry. EXPOSURE TO THE FRONTIER OF AI I proved I could build things on my own, but given the pace of AI, so many people are now flooding the market with vibe coded ideas. The chances of my next project getting attention above that noise are rapidly shrinking. This was my primary motivation for taking the job at Every. The company already had product market fit across several products, and a media business with distribution to more than 100,000 subscribers. If I build something in Every, I can share it with our subscribers so it can be used, and that gives me more license to experiment than I could have toiling away on my own. I don’t have to justify experimenting with the latest model [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBBY2hpZXZlZCB0aGUgRm91ci1Ib3VyIFdvcmt3ZWVrLiBTbywgV2h5IERpZCBJIEp1c3QgVGFrZSBhIEpvYj8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL2NvZGV4LXZzLW9wdXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9] or worry about my token budget.

At Every, on my first day, I found a Discord channel called “#only-claws” where my colleagues’ OpenClaw [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBBY2hpZXZlZCB0aGUgRm91ci1Ib3VyIFdvcmt3ZWVrLiBTbywgV2h5IERpZCBJIEp1c3QgVGFrZSBhIEpvYj8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuY2xhdy5haS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] agents could talk to each other. Seeing the team use Claws convinced me to reconsider my initial skepticism, and now I have three Claws running 24/7. It’s not all on me to run a discovery process on every new idea—I can ask someone who’s already played around. The social relationships you form in a company act as an idea filter, helping you determine what’s real versus what’s over-hyped. There is another important part of my full-time role: I am living in New York, where Every’s headquarters are based. Part of the reason I relocated from the U.K. this year was that I believe the only”‘alpha”—inside information that can confer an economic advantage—left is in person. People share things in person that they don’t put online. The moment something is online, then AI can train on it, and if AI can do it, then everyone else in the market can do it too. Being in the room where things happen lets me feed my curiosity and build my knowledge, and maximizes my chances of being early on whatever does end up being the next big thing.

I have already cited his insight in two different client meetings. As a follower on X, I might have seen his take eventually, but as an employee, I got to ask my own questions about it. Outside the company, I would have eventually figured this insight out, but inside, I get to help shape it.

I believe those milestones will be achieved, yet I don’t want to be the person who builds it. Some of the happiest moments in my previous businesses were when I had grown enough to build a team around me to take some of the burden off my shoulders—and watch someone on the team do something cool without my help. That pride you feel when the company is winning, and you can take a vacation without everything falling apart. After five years on my own, I never had a big enough hit to build out a team. I was doing cool stuff, but only a handful of people knew about it. I had freedom, but with limited impact. For the past decade, the smart move was to build alone and own everything yourself. AI has brought down the barriers to building, so the most important thing now is knowing what to build. Knowing that requires being in the right rooms and having the right conversations. So I’ve traded the four-hour workweek for a forty(ish)-hour one. I’ve never learned faster. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBBY2hpZXZlZCB0aGUgRm91ci1Ib3VyIFdvcmt3ZWVrLiBTbywgV2h5IERpZCBJIEp1c3QgVGFrZSBhIEpvYj8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==] is the head of tech consulting at Every and a co-author of the O’Reilly-published Prompt Engineering for Generative AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBBY2hpZXZlZCB0aGUgRm91ci1Ib3VyIFdvcmt3ZWVrLiBTbywgV2h5IERpZCBJIEp1c3QgVGFrZSBhIEpvYj8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3JlaWxseS5jb20vbGlicmFyeS92aWV3L3Byb21wdC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1mb3IvOTc4MTA5ODE1MzQyNy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9].

For a coding workflow built around tight cycles, that speed compounds quickly. As Mike put it: “When you’re in the loop, you need the loop to go fast. When you’re out of the loop, who cares—it’s running in the background overnight anyway.” The model is also cautious. It undershoots rather than spiraling into overwrought solutions—a trade-off Kieran prefers. And on retrieval-heavy tasks, it performed well. Mike found that it comprehensively identified quoted material across a book manuscript, missing only a handful of quotes. Composer 2’s weaknesses were what you’d expect from a model at this price point. Kieran found the design quality “way worse than Codex, Claude, Gemini” in his benchmark tests. An e-commerce site built in React was functional but missing features. A 3D island scene had “nothing wrong with it” but was “boring.” When writing Ruby code, the model didn’t lean into the language’s idioms. Mike ran into Composer 2’s literal-mindedness on non-coding tasks: In one case, it looked for the words “surprising” and “interesting” instead of reasoning about what in the data was noteworthy. He also found himself wanting subagent functionality—where a model divides up complex tasks among background agents—on more-involved research work. WHO THIS IS FOR To Kieran, Composer 2 feels six-to-eight months behind the frontier. For developers who have gone all-in on delegation—handing entire features to Claude Code or Codex and walking away—that gap is disqualifying. But Cursor isn’t building for those developers, or at least not only for them, but instead for the ones still inside the IDE—the “integrated development environment,” where they pore over code changes and steer any AI work in real time. Here, Composer 2 is fast enough to keep the loop tight and cheap enough to run all day, and capable enough to handle the bounded tasks that make up most of the work.—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0aWUucGFycm90dDEyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWLEDGE BASE “How to Build an AI Style Guide [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvaG93LXRvLWJ1aWxkLWFuLWFpLXN0eWxlLWd1aWRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ==]” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvaG93LXRvLWJ1aWxkLWFuLWFpLXN0eWxlLWd1aWRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ==] by Katie Parrott: When you give a model a loose prompt, you get writing that sounds like nobody—coherent but generic.

Rosie had advanced mast cell tumors that had beaten surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Vets had given her months to live. So Conyngham, who has no background in biology, used AI to sequence [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaWJ0aW1lcy5jby51ay9zeWRuZXktZGF0YS1lbmdpbmVlci1tcm5hLWNhbmNlci12YWNjaW5lLWRvZy0xNzg1NjA3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjU0fQ==] her tumor DNA, identify the mutations driving the cancer, and design a vaccine blueprint targeting those specific mutations. He handed that information to scientists at the University of New South Wales, who created a vaccine that a veterinary immunologist then injected around the tumors. Within a few weeks, the largest tumor shrank by about 75 percent, and Rosie is now happily chasing rabbits again. I love this story, and it went viral for obvious reasons: A man’s love for his dog meets a bold act of individual agency meets a glimpse into medicine’s AI-enabled future—this is Tech Twitter’s dream! But what Conyngham built was a treatment designed for one dog’s specific tumors, tested on that one dog, validated by a sample size of one—also known as an “n-of-1” trial (a play on notation from clinical experiments, where the variable n represents the number of participants). Conyngham’s n-of-Rosie trial may have worked, which is wonderful. But her cancer isn’t cured, and it’s not known how much the response came from the vaccine or other simultaneous treatments. The entire infrastructure of modern medicine, from randomized controlled trials to regulatory bodies, exists precisely because we learned the hard way that anecdotes aren’t evidence. Yet we’re drifting into n-of-1 territory everywhere. Some people are injecting peptides [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmJjLmNvbS9uZXdzL2FydGljbGVzL2NkcjI2OG01cHhybyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1NX0=] sourced from Chinese manufacturers and self-reporting benefits that could easily be placebo, while others are going to Mexico and Colombia for untested gene therapies [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2lyZWQuY29tL3N0b3J5L2Jpb3ZpdmEtZ2VuZS10aGVyYXBpZXMtbGl6LXBhcnJpc2gtbG9uZ2V2aXR5LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1Nn0=] that they believe will prevent aging. What happens to evidence-based medicine when personalized treatments become trivially easy to design but remain extremely difficult to validate? Ethics committees, which approve and oversee lab experiments on humans and other animals, took Conyngham months to navigate and are not built for a world where thousands of people are desperate to use their own AI-generated blueprints. Many people will understandably look at Conyngham’s example and be emboldened to take a similar approach to their own health. I also suspect that, because of Rosie’s story, bioethicists are losing quite a bit of sleep.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTWluaS1WaWJlIENoZWNrOiBDdXJzb3IgQmV0cyBvbiBGYXN0IGFuZCBDaGVhcCBXaXRoIENvbXBvc2VyIDIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2xwMWRpZ2VzdC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjU3fQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Over 4,000 documents had been created since launch, but the app had been mysteriously crashing all day. This left users with crucial documents that they couldn’t access, and me with egg on my face. I hadn’t slept for almost 24 hours, and all I could do was nervously munch trail mix as Codex investigated yet another bug buried deep in a codebase that I didn’t understand. It felt less like programming and more like being the dumbest participant at a math Olympiad. Needless to say, I was reconsidering my life choices. Today, almost a week later, Proof is more or less stable. And I’ve learned a lot about both building and launching a purely vibe coded app. Perhaps more importantly, I’ve also learned what happens once that app goes live—and then goes down. My current opinion is this: If you can vibe code it, you can vibe fix it. You just might not be able to fix it quickly. Software engineering is changing rapidly as a discipline. The days of typing code into a computer manually seem to be over, and the current conversation on X is around “zero-human startups.” My experience with Proof, though, is a good reality check. It demonstrates both what is truly possible with vibe coded apps, and where human engineers will continue to be critical now and in the future.

I first committed code to Proof’s Github repository in early January. Back then, it was a MacOS app. Two and a half weeks ago, I pivoted it to be web-only. The final form that we launched was about 10 days old, and in that time, I’d built a version that was stable enough that it had become a critical internal tool at Every, and was being used by a small cohort of enthusiastic subscribers, too. The repository now has 1,600 commits—the vast majority from me—over 600 pull requests, and about 140,000 lines of code.

Its ability to make deep, well-researched plans and its comprehensiveness in reviewing code only further extend Codex’s power. THE NEW BOTTLENECKS AT THE EDGE In launching Proof, it also became obvious to me where coding models still fall short—and what new bottlenecks show up now that we don’t have to type code character by character into our computers anymore. Here’s a list: CODING MODELS MAKE A MESS WHEN THEY TRY TO FIX ISSUES IN ISOLATION Coding models often prefer to fix the local issue instead of stepping back first to identify the root cause. Without your guidance, the codebase risks becoming a patchwork of hot fixes that cause more problems than they solve. CODING MODELS DON’T ALWAYS KNOW BEST PRACTICES Proof is built on Yjs [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlbiBZb3VyIFZpYmUgQ29kZWQgQXBwIEdvZXMgVmlyYWzigJRBbmQgVGhlbiBHb2VzIERvd24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly95anMuZGV2LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=] and Hocus Pocus [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlbiBZb3VyIFZpYmUgQ29kZWQgQXBwIEdvZXMgVmlyYWzigJRBbmQgVGhlbiBHb2VzIERvd24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly90aXB0YXAuZGV2L2RvY3MvaG9jdXNwb2N1cy9nZXR0aW5nLXN0YXJ0ZWQvb3ZlcnZpZXciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9], two open-source libraries for building live, collaborative document editors. A week into the latest version of the app, I realized that the best practices around Yjs aren’t in GPT-5.4’s training data. This meant it wasn’t catching some obvious architectural deficiencies, and was pursuing suboptimal solutions to certain problems. Asking the model to do significant web research before building seemed to mostly fix the issue. But this relies on the best practices being on the web, which is not always the case—especially if you’re working in enterprise software and using private company libraries. CODING MODELS WILL FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT ANSWER—EVENTUALLY Even with the above problems, I do think Codex would have eventually solved most issues. But coming to the right answer requires a feedback loop. Once Codex, or any coding model, writes a fix, it needs to review the code, test the fix locally, test the fix in a staging environment, get the code into the production app, and then monitor to see if the fix is working. On a small codebase, this loop is fast. On a large, complex one, it can take hours. WHY HUMAN ENGINEERS AREN’T GOING AWAY Every bug fix is a scientific experiment. A coding model has no way to shortcut the cycle—of hypothesizing a fix, coding it up, deploying, monitoring, and, if the fix doesn’t work, forming a new hypothesis. It can only run the experiment and wait. The cost, in time and tokens, grows with the complexity of your app. An experienced engineer using a model runs fewer experiments. They look at a broken system and, based on years of their own failed experiments, quickly narrow the possibilities—this is probably X. These hunches aren’t always right, but they are right often enough to make the difference between an immediately stable app and one that’s broken for a few days while your agent hunts down the issues. This is the whole point of the allocation economy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlbiBZb3VyIFZpYmUgQ29kZWQgQXBwIEdvZXMgVmlyYWzigJRBbmQgVGhlbiBHb2VzIERvd24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L3RoZS1rbm93bGVkZ2UtZWNvbm9teS1pcy1vdmVyLXdlbGNvbWUtdG8tdGhlLWFsbG9jYXRpb24tZWNvbm9teSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=]. The scarce resource is knowing where to direct intelligence. Expertise increasingly means being able to ask the right first questions, narrow the hypotheses, and waste fewer cycles. And faster model progress doesn’t get rid of this. Because the frontier of expertise is moving even as new models are being trained. The best practices for using AI on complex production systems are being worked out right now, by engineers doing it, and those practices won’t show up in training data for months or years—if at all. So yes, we are now living in a world where if you can vibe code, you can vibe fix it. But without human expertise, it might take a while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Shipper [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlbiBZb3VyIFZpYmUgQ29kZWQgQXBwIEdvZXMgVmlyYWzigJRBbmQgVGhlbiBHb2VzIERvd24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGFuc2hpcHBlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=] is the cofounder and CEO of Every, where he writes the Chain of Thought [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlbiBZb3VyIFZpYmUgQ29kZWQgQXBwIEdvZXMgVmlyYWzigJRBbmQgVGhlbiBHb2VzIERvd24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI0fQ==] column and hosts the podcast AI & I [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlbiBZb3VyIFZpYmUgQ29kZWQgQXBwIEdvZXMgVmlyYWzigJRBbmQgVGhlbiBHb2VzIERvd24iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDE1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3Nob3cvNXFYMW5SVGFGc2ZXZG1kajVKV08xRyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=].

It told his compositors—the workers who assembled metal letters by hand into the trays that would be inked and pressed against paper—how to handle the decisions that came up hundreds of times a day. When to capitalize. Where to put a comma. How to abbreviate, hyphenate, and spell. That piece of paper grew into a 200-page manual, which people called Hart’s Rules [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIGFuIEFJIFN0eWxlIEd1aWRlICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9IYXJ0JTI3c19SdWxlcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2fQ==]. It’s now one of the oldest continuously maintained style guides in print. The term “style guide” itself didn’t appear in print [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIGFuIEFJIFN0eWxlIEd1aWRlICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Jvb2tzLmdvb2dsZS5jb20vbmdyYW1zL2dyYXBoP2NvbnRlbnQ9JTIyc3R5bGUrZ3VpZGUlMjJcdTAwMjZ5ZWFyX3N0YXJ0PTE4MDBcdTAwMjZ5ZWFyX2VuZD0yMDE5XHUwMDI2c21vb3RoaW5nPTAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6N30=] until the 1930s. For most of publishing history, people said “style manual” or “style sheet.” But whatever you called it, the function was the same: Make the rules explicit so the output stays consistent, no matter who—or what—is producing it. When we hear the word “style guide,” we tend to think about rulings on the Oxford comma or how to abbreviate “United States.” But Hart was solving a machine problem. Oxford was printing 272 books a year [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIGFuIEFJIFN0eWxlIEd1aWRlICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9Ib3JhY2VfSGFydCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==], and dozens of compositors worked the presses. His guide made sure output stayed consistent no matter who was at the press that day.

Left to their defaults, they converge on the same polished, generic, interchangeable prose—the kind that opens with “In today’s rapidly evolving landscape” and closes with a three-part summary no one asked for. And once again, the solution is a good style guide. Like Hart’s Rules or the AP Stylebook before it, an AI style guide takes what the writer knows and puts it in terms the machine can use. SURFACING THE HIDDEN PATTERNS Previous style guides focused on issues that were solvable with conscious, mechanical decisions. Hart could tell his compositors to spell “colour” with a u, and the job was done. The AP could tell reporters to lead with the most important fact. In contrast, the most distinctive markers of a writer’s style tend to be subconscious [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIGFuIEFJIFN0eWxlIEd1aWRlICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvdGhlLXNjaWVuY2Utb2Ytd2h5LWFpLXN0aWxsLWNhbi10LXdyaXRlLWxpa2UteW91IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==]: word choice, sentence rhythms, and patterns that fall into place while you’re focused on meaning. Researchers have found that humans are roughly twice as linguistically varied as machines, sentence to sentence. The gap narrows with better models, but it doesn’t close. The only way to make a model approximate your unique voice is to surface those hidden patterns, name them, and write them down as instructions. I stumbled into this when I started feeding my essays to ChatGPT [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIGFuIEFJIFN0eWxlIEd1aWRlICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvaS1mZWQtbXktZXNzYXlzLXRvLWNoYXRncHQtdW50aWwtaXQtbGVhcm5lZC1teS12b2ljZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=] and asking it what it noticed. Over weeks, it surfaced patterns I’d never consciously seen, such as how I structure an argument to progress from personal experience to broader stakes, or tend to favor long, winding sentence structures (a temptation I’ve calibrated my style guide to help correct). I copied what felt true into a Google document and continued the conversation, pushing back on some observations and adding in details I knew I wanted my writing to avoid. Eventually, I uploaded it all to a Claude Project, and the writing that came back started to sound like me. It’s surprisingly hard to describe your own voice from a blank page. You know what your writing sounds like. You can recognize it instantly. You just can’t explain it in terms a model can use—and vague descriptors like “smart” and “conversational” don’t make the AI better at approximating you. It’s all well and good to say, “You should make a style guide,” but we also know that when you’re trying to get somewhere, it helps to have a map. So we wrote a step-by-step guide to building your own AI style guide from scratch—what it is, what goes in one, how to build one by letting AI interview you, and how the practice can grow with you and your writing process. It draws on the systems we’ve built at Every and for Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIGFuIEFJIFN0eWxlIEd1aWRlICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dyaXRld2l0aHNwaXJhbC5jb20iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9], our AI writing tool. By the end, you’ll have a working document you can hand to your chatbot, agent, or OpenClaw assistant and test on your next draft. Hart’s compositors didn’t need to understand why they spelled “colour” with a u. They followed the rule. But writing an AI style guide forces you to answer a harder question: Why do I write the way I do? The document you end up with may be addressed to a machine, but the person who learns the most from it is you.

It’s led by Mike Taylor ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp2xvk3i5h2dk4wd8snh8lr4l/reh8hohmdv02opu2/aHR0cHM6Ly91ay5saW5rZWRpbi5jb20vaW4vbWp0MTQ1 ), with Every CEO Dan Shipper ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp2xvk3i5h2dk4wd8snh8lr4l/08hwh9h2ewdop8fl/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGFuc2hpcHBlcg== ) as a guest instructor. There’s no programming experience required. You can register now for an early bird price of $1,050, which includes the workshop and our annual Every membership. -->Register for Claude Code for Absolute Beginners ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp2xvk3i5h2dk4wd8snh8lr4l/8ghqhohodpl08ehk/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtMTAxLTI= ) Register for Claude Code for Absolute Beginners ( https://every.to/events/claude-code-101-2 ) Elliot runs growth at her company. She’d never written a line of code. Seven hours after walking into our last Claude Code workshop, she'd built an internal dashboard for her team and described the experience as walking away with "an entirely new, powerful toolkit to build and create whatever you want." Elliot isn’t unusual. Everyone at Every uses Claude Code now—writers, editors, operations experts, product designers. The barrier has come down. ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp2xvk3i5h2dk4wd8snh8lr4l/vqh3hrho03px6xug/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGVubnlzbmV3c2xldHRlci5jb20vcC9oZWFkLW9mLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlLXdoYXQtaGFwcGVucw== ) You describe what you want, it figures out how to build it, and when something breaks, you tell it what broke and it fixes it. It's more like hiring a smart engineer than writing code yourself. We're running a new cohort of Claude Code for Absolute Beginners on April 14. Most people who sign up don't arrive with a project in mind. They arrive curious. By the end, they leave with something shipped—and a clearer sense of what they want to build next. Registration is now open.

There’s no programming experience required. One thing worth saying plainly: This is for absolute beginners. If you've spent more than an hour with Claude Code or have already built something with it, this isn't the right fit. If you're still unsure, I went live on YouTube ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp2xvk3i5h2dk4wd8snh8lr4l/m2h7h5h3508gx9hm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1NV3ZwWHN3TEZ4QQ== ) to answer questions about who it’s for and what students built. Here's how the day works: The day before class, we run an optional setup session so you arrive ready to build. On the day itself, you’ll get guided walkthroughs, independent building time, peer breakouts, and hands-on help when you're stuck. By the end, you'll have shipped something real and a workflow you can automate and repeat. -->Reserve your spot ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp2xvk3i5h2dk4wd8snh8lr4l/8ghqhohodpl08ehk/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtMTAxLTI= ) Reserve your spot ( https://every.to/events/claude-code-101-2 )If you’ve been waiting to use AI instead of just reading about it, April 14 is your day.

Kate’s career has spanned a stint as a New Yorker-featured literary agent to roles at Medium, WeWork, and Stripe. Contrary to his “early adopter” persona, Dan classifies Kate as a “pragmatic knowledge worker,” someone open to AI, but who isn’t going to immediately change her workflow unless a tool makes her life better.

Here are the highlights: 1. AI adoption clicks when it solves a real pain. Kate’s AI “aha moment” was when she used an agent on the Atlas browser [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1vcGVuYWktcy1uZXctYWktYnJvd3Nlci1hdGxhcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=] to handle a dreaded Notion setup for hiring. The AI gave her a first pass on candidates and handled the administrative work, which made it possible to hire for multiple roles even when she had hundreds of applicants and no human resources department. 2. Codifying taste into AI is the new editorial superpower. Kate built a 400-rule style guide and fed it into a Claude project so that writers and editors could check drafts with it before they reach her for a final check. Every piece arrives at Kate in better shape, freeing her to focus on whether a piece is the best it can be for Every rather than catching mechanical errors. 3. Small teams can now do what big teams did, but it requires a certain mindset. Every went from four to 20 people while dramatically expanding its offering. Kate emphasizes that the step change happened around late 2024 and early 2025 when more powerful models and tools like Claude Code and Cowork [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1jbGF1ZGUtY293b3JrLWlzLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlLWZvci10aGUtcmVzdC1vZi11cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=] emerged.

THE MACHINE TRANSLATION PROBLEM A friend recently translated a healthcare app into French. “It was the most painful work I’ve ever done,” she told me. Instead of asking for a full translation, the app’s creator gave her a machine-translated version to correct, arguing that it would cost less money. Given how poor the writing was, it would have been far quicker—and better—to translate the app from scratch. I’ve felt the same way when I edit writing clearly generated with AI. Just like my translator friend, I often feel as if it would be easier to write it from scratch rather than trying to save it with an edit. Besides the tells (staccato, lists of three), AI-generated text is flimsy. Poke it just a bit—what do you really mean?—and it falls down. It is the opposite of what I call “bulletproof writing [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5saW5rZWRpbi5jb20vcG9zdHMvZWxlYW5vci13YXJub2NrLTZhNjcxMDM3X3doYXQtaXMtYnVsbGV0cHJvb2Ytd3JpdGluZy1hbmQtd2h5LWRvZXMtYWN0aXZpdHktNzIyNjU4MjY4NjIxODI4OTE1Mi1mcVJNLz91dG1fc291cmNlPXNoYXJlXHUwMDI2dXRtX21lZGl1bT1tZW1iZXJfZGVza3RvcCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=],” a style that was drilled into me as a financial reporter at the Wall Street Journal. Each word printed was scrutinized by tough editors and even tougher readers—so they had to be intentional. This could be avoided, or at least mitigated.

She fed Claude examples of her writing, had it interview her about her preferences, and produced a style guide that lives inside a dedicated project. She treats the whole thing like a bonsai garden—she prunes old examples, adds new ones, and reruns the analysis. With this upfront investment, Claude has her DNA when she sits down to write. As someone who often edits Katie, I can tell the difference. The writing feels like her. Kate, our editor in chief, has also codified Every’s style guide in a Claude project that everyone can use, as she talks about in this week’s podcast. Reading matters, too. It teaches you what good writing is—something Katie also believes. So before you summarize an article with ChatGPT, think again. What do you miss when you skip the actual text? Study the structure, the argument. Steal it. Writing is still hard. Don’t let AI make you think it’s easy.—Eleanor Warnock [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BlbGVhbm9yX2IwMzQ3NF8xIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==] LOG ON We host camps and workshops [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2V2ZW50cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] on topics like compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PTdZVUJ4TVRGMVRjXHUwMDI2dGltZV9jb250aW51ZT0zXHUwMDI2c291cmNlX3ZlX3BhdGg9TnpZM05UZ1x1MDAyNmVtYmVkc19yZWZlcnJpbmdfZXVyaT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmV2ZXJ5LnRvJTJGIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==] and writing with AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PW9FdmpiUHdHd25jXHUwMDI2c291cmNlX3ZlX3BhdGg9T1RZM01UUVx1MDAyNmVtYmVkc19yZWZlcnJpbmdfZXVyaT1odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRmV2ZXJ5LnRvJTJGIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==] to share the knowledge we’ve acquired from training teams at companies like the New York Times [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=] and leading hedge funds [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=], and by learning and playing with AI every day ourselves.

(Screenshot courtesy of Every.) If you needed another reminder of the power of model context protocol (MCP), here it is. We’ve always had the product analytics platform PostHog installed, but linking it to AI like Claude through an MCP has given the team even deeper insights on which to base product decisions by asking simple questions in plain English. That data sourcing and interrogation would previously have taken hours. For example, PostHog data showed us that 33 percent of buyers of the lifetime plan of our file organization software, Sparkle [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21ha2VpdHNwYXJrbGUuY28vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQwfQ==]—which costs $279—come through ChatGPT in the last 30 days. (The monthly plan is $15.) The PostHog data fed through the MCP also helped the team notice that existing customers were pausing lifetime plans and then restarting them, suggesting that they were researching and considering the product. “The PostHog MCP data flow is now effortless. It helps us to make decisions and cross-check them before we take them live,” says Sparkle general manager Yash Poojary [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRWRpdGluZyBBSSBXcml0aW5nICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMTIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0B5YXNocG9vamFyeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0MX0=]. “You now have a top-tier product manager available to you.

Maybe a Claw could keep my iCloud storage account from constantly hitting its cap, or go through my over 1,000 different online accounts and change all the passwords that were leaked by hackers onto the dark web. Maybe, I thought, it could even help my family sort out a medical bill we got from an unexpected hospital visit while traveling before we switched from our old health insurance to our current one. It’s not the first time I’ve tried to tackle this problem. Since 2023, I’ve been hosting what I call a “Digital Mending Circle.” With a small group on Zoom, I tend to the maintenance tasks that accrue around a digital existence. Instead of darning socks or patching jeans, we update personal bios, organize photos, file expense reports, or even just catch up on email. These activities can feel surprisingly daunting, given how trivial they are in the grander scheme. They involve re-familiarizing yourself with systems you only use occasionally (where’s that page in my WordPress admin panel again?) or facing clean-ups—the 571 items on your desktop, the gigabytes of blurry and duplicate photos across multiple apps—that will just need re-tidying months later.

Optional because we can put it off in the moment, necessary because putting it off for too long can lead to disaster. We learn, in the book, of boats whose maintainability resulted in very different outcomes for three sailors competing to first circumnavigate the globe. We discover how maintenance attitudes in militaries can sway entire wars. Good and poor maintenance can both have profound consequences. Maintenance is virtuous. But it’s also rarely seen as heroic. If it were, maybe we wouldn’t be so bad at it. Various explanations exist [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBIaXJlZCBhbiBBSSB0byBEbyBNeSBDaG9yZXMuIE5vdyBJIE1haW50YWluIHRoZSBBSS4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDEwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly90aGVtYWludGFpbmVycy5vcmcvd2h5LWRvLXBlb3BsZS1uZWdsZWN0LW1haW50ZW5hbmNlLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=] for why we deprioritize maintenance, ranging from cultural values (we prize new invention over care for the existing), psychology and economics (we discount what isn’t immediately gratifying), and social class (we associate many maintenance jobs with minimum-wage work done by marginalized workers). For me, many of these attitudes are embodied in Pixar’s 2008 animated film about a solitary garbage robot, Wall-E. The cheerfulness with which Wall-E performs his Sisyphean task of collecting and compacting tiny robot-sized cubes of trash makes us care for him. But he doesn’t become a hero until he leaves behind his duties to follow his love interest across the galaxy. At the end, we learn his quest is part of a larger story of failed maintenance—of the earth and its natural systems. “Nearly everything worth maintaining is nested,” writes Brand, “in something larger, even more worth maintaining.” ADMIN NIGHTS For over six years, journalist and author Chris Colin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBIaXJlZCBhbiBBSSB0byBEbyBNeSBDaG9yZXMuIE5vdyBJIE1haW50YWluIHRoZSBBSS4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDEwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2hyaXNjb2xpbi5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==] has been hosting in-person gatherings akin to my digital ones.

In the process, they’ve grown more aware of the sources of that madness, like the rise of subscription models and the breakdown of unions, regulators, and community groups that once shielded us from consumer abuse. Will AI eliminate this administrative friction, or only worsen it? Colin does not dismiss the possibility that AI could make a meaningful difference, but said the group has developed a jaundiced long view of new technology. “I came to San Francisco in 1998, and I’ve seen a lot of things come through that promised to be amazing and weren’t,” Colin said to me over the phone. “Or things that promised to be amazing and were, and then were discontinued or evolved or broke after a few years.” Even if AI ends up being “amazing,” I also wonder if smoothing over the friction would obscure its underlying causes, like the convenience-laden hoverchairs in Wall-E that numb senses and distract the humans from their world’s ills. Maybe it’s through the act of collectively dealing with that friction that Colin and his Admin Night group start to understand—and perhaps change—the broader systems to which most of us belong.

It runs primarily on IBM mainframe computers, and still underpins much of the infrastructure behind public benefits like unemployment and food assistance that millions depend on.

It took several hours beyond my allotted life maintenance session for me to get my Claw, Pip [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBIaXJlZCBhbiBBSSB0byBEbyBNeSBDaG9yZXMuIE5vdyBJIE1haW50YWluIHRoZSBBSS4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDEwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy9ob3ctY2xhd3MtdG9vay1vdmVyLWV2ZXJ5IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==], working. Once Pip was up and running, I had it send my partner and me morning briefings of our day’s schedule and childcare duties, and prepare budget summaries that we could go over in our weekly household meeting—augmenting a system we already had in place to help us stay afloat. But sometimes Pip would format the budget summary in a weird way or forget how to access our transactions. Sometimes the morning briefings wouldn’t come—a result of my Claude Code account hitting its monthly limit or Pip incorrectly updating a setting in its own configuration file. At one point, two weeks’ worth of Pip’s memories simply vanished. In each of these cases, I would have to then go in and figure out why Pip broke, and how to fix it. Instead of Pip helping maintain my digital life, I was maintaining Pip. But in the process, I’ve become intimately familiar with the OpenClaw configuration file. I’ve come to better understand the cascade of markdown instructions that Pip reads for context, the art of managing Pip’s short- and long-term memory, and the way it uses skills and tools to do its work. I’ve also come to learn, true to Brand’s words and Colin’s Admin Night group, the wider context around Pip: the ecology of frontier models, AI agents, new and existing software, and the people trying to use and build these tools. And once I could see this more clearly, I could start to imagine these systems working and interacting in a different way. Then again, I still have to look into that rental car bill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Cheng [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBIaXJlZCBhbiBBSSB0byBEbyBNeSBDaG9yZXMuIE5vdyBJIE1haW50YWluIHRoZSBBSS4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDEwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9qYWNrY2hlbmcuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOX0=] is a senior editor at Every.

The problem is that most of us have no good way to prove those things, and we’re not very good at it. For decades, brand names did the heavy lifting. Previous experience at McKinsey or Goldman Sachs were buzzwords that signaled to a hiring manager: This person can build a model and make slides, and someone selective chose them. But brand names don’t work as a heuristic for expertise anymore. Was that Google alumnus a pixel pusher or a genuine decision maker? The soft skills that matter most in an AI-augmented workplace are invisible on a traditional resume. One answer is portfolios. Not a portfolio in the sense of a portfolio career—a word that many knowledge workers have embraced as they move away from relying on one employer and pick up advisory roles and solopreneurship. I mean a portfolio as a body of work that proves your value beyond your work history. A collection of artifacts that show how you think, just like creative professionals showcase their design or artistic work. As a journalist and editor, I write a newsletter about people using writing to build things [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5lbGVhbm90LmVzLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo5fQ==], and I post on LinkedIn, all of which I consider to be part of my portfolio that helps people evaluate me beyond the names of my previous employers. Whether it is writing on platforms like LinkedIn or building interactive tools on their personal websites, knowledge workers need something similar. AI can make this process fun and creative, and help people experience your expertise without having to meet you. WASN’T PERSONAL BRANDING SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS? Even before anyone was worried about ChatGPT taking their job, we’d been hearing the same advice for years: Build your personal brand. Post on LinkedIn more, put yourself out there—become a thought leader. In theory, a strong personal brand should give you an advantage over someone with the same credentials on their resume but no public presence.

Much of what gets shared is self-congratulatory announcements, not proof of expertise. And more and more of what is shared is obviously AI-written.

The people who do want to share real insights—writing-first practitioners [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvdGhlLWhleWRheS1vZi10aGUtd3JpdGluZy1maXJzdC1wcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9], as I’ve been calling them—are fed up with the platform. You can’t format text in posts. The algorithm surfaces two-week-old content like it’s breaking news, and anything older gets buried. That’s why wealth manager Jan Voss moved to a newsletter to share his most important thoughts. He wanted a place where, as he told me earlier this year [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5lbGVhbm90LmVzL3AvaG93LWEtd2VhbHRoLW1hbmFnZXItYnVpbHQtaGlzLWJyYW5kIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==], “posts have staying power.” The platform’s functionality is only part of the problem. Thinking more deeply, LinkedIn rewards a specific kind of extroversion. Many people feel uncomfortable with building their brand there because they feel pressure to have a “hot take” or, more simply, to brag. THE AGE OF THE PORTFOLIO IS COMING We’re entering a period where knowledge workers build portfolios the way creative professionals have for years—not on Dribbble [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RyaWJiYmxlLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9] or Behance [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iZWhhbmNlLm5ldC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9], but through a growing ecosystem of formats that let you show how you think. Substack and similar platforms are making a play here, letting individuals share deep thinking that endures and build a following around their expertise. Substack even wants to let users express themselves beyond writing, as last week’s launch [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RlY2hjcnVuY2guY29tLzIwMjYvMDMvMTIvc3Vic3RhY2stbGF1bmNoZXMtYS1idWlsdC1pbi1yZWNvcmRpbmctc3R1ZGlvLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=] of a video recording and publishing feature shows. But if the hurdle to writing frequently on LinkedIn is high, the hurdle to maintaining a regular newsletter or recording a regular podcast is enormous. You need to have information or opinions to share with your readers each week, even if you are simply curating links. One Substack writer who committed himself to one post a week for a year wrote 62,773 words [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvcnljaGVja2V0dHMuc3Vic3RhY2suY29tL3AvaS13cm90ZS1vbmUtYXJ0aWNsZS1hLXdlZWstb24tc3Vic3RhY2siLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9], or the equivalent of a short novel. Most people don’t have the stamina or the discipline to achieve that level of prolificness. Hence, Substack as a reputation-building tool will remain limited to the small minority of people willing to write consistently in public. Other formats are emerging. Platforms like Andreessen Horowitz-backed Maven [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21hdmVuLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9] offer cohort-based courses where you can teach what you know to a room full of people who’ve paid to learn it, and given that teachers must apply, being featured on the platform carries credibility.

And then there’s a newer category: knowledge workers building interactive tools on their personal websites that give potential employers or clients a taste of what they can do. Strategist Loris Colantuono has a section called “Resources” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2xvcmlzY29sYW50dW9uby5jb20vcmVzc291cmNlcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=] on his website with guides about storytelling and manifesto writing—a link at the end prompts visitors to set up a call. Julius Bachmann, a Berlin-based executive coach, did something similar with his annual review document at the end of last year. He released the guide as a PDF and a custom GPT [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBDb21lcyBBZnRlciBMaW5rZWRJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQwMDQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5qdWxpdXNiYWNobWFubi5jb20vYW5udWFsLXJldmlldy0yMDI1IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==] so you can either fill it out on paper or by chatting with AI. Both examples are interactive proof of how these individuals think. Even if you never pay either of them, you’ve seen what they have to offer. It’s also scalable. A thousand people can experience Loris’s strategic thinking or Julius’s coaching style without them having to take an equal number of coffee meetings. Building these kinds of tools and portfolios can be less stressful for people who are uncomfortable with LinkedIn’s self-promotional tone. You don’t need to perform or humble-brag. You can create something on your own terms that looks and feels like you. BUILDING YOUR PORTFOLIO WITH AI The same technology that’s threatening knowledge work is also lowering the barrier to building these kinds of portfolios. A year ago, creating an interactive tool on your personal site required hiring a developer. Now you can spin one up in an afternoon.

It’s a running, curated inventory of things she has published, built, and learned that don’t necessarily warrant their own post but that she wants to capture. “For a long time, a personal website was a static credential.

There’s at least one obstacle, though: A lot of the best expertise lives behind NDAs and confidentiality walls. If your most impressive work is a strategy you built for a client you can’t name, using data you can’t share, you have no proof of work when the world asks. Perhaps this shift toward portfolio-building will create pressure on NDAs to allow at least anonymized sharing of real work. THE TRUST PROBLEM You are probably thinking: Portfolios are great, but how do you prove the judgment was yours? Or prove that you didn’t ask Andrey Galko, who manages Every’s website, to create something impressive for you? To this end, I think that a rise in portfolios will be accompanied by more paid work trials. Not the unpaid case study interviews (do a presentation about our strategy, the output of which we will promptly steal once we tell you you don’t have the job) that have rightly been criticized, but short, compensated engagements where you work alongside a team for a week or two before anyone commits. The trial proves those skills in your portfolio are real. I used to put a hold in my calendar to update my resume every few months.

When I was 16, I spent a summer working with my dad in a welding factory. Apart from the acrid smoke, the swearing in Polish and Russian, and the clanging that rang in my ears for hours after I left, what sticks with me most is the maze of machines, fit together like Tetris blocks on the factory floor. I worked on a press that stamped steel into shapes that would later become supermarket shelves. The press sat near the factory door, open to the bitterly cold UK mornings. I thought, why the hell is this so close to the outside? But I knew it was there for a reason. The position and orientation of every machine on that floor had been tested and retested over years to arrive at the one arrangement that maximized output. The efficiency of that layout was the result of hard-won experience, but today’s factory makers might use a digital twin to arrive at something like it on day one. With a digital twin, you could precisely model the factory and run countless simulations to predict what would work best. The pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly built a digital twin of a factory to make GLP-1s [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE5ldmVyLWRvbmUgTWFjaGluZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5mb3JiZXMuY29tL3NpdGVzL2FteWZlbGRtYW4vMjAyNi8wMy8wNy9ob3ctbGlsbHktdXNlZC1haS10by1jcmFuay11cC1wcm9kdWN0aW9uLW9mLWl0cy1wb3B1bGFyLWdscC0xcy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9]—drugs like Zepbound and Mounjaro, which account for more than half of its revenue—and produced more product than they could have without AI, enough that it showed up in the company’s latest earnings report. If you can model the complexity of a pharmaceutical production line, what else can you model? The concept works for power grids and flight networks—anywhere the variables are complex and real-world experimentation is expensive. But the application that interests me most is the human body. We already generate enormous amounts of data through blood panel results and wearables that track heart rate, sleep, and glucose. What doesn’t exist yet is the simulation layer that models your biology closely enough to test interventions before you try them. But it’s coming, and when it arrives, your body will be what my dad’s factory floor was: a perfectly fitted Tetris puzzle, optimized for your healthiest self.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE5ldmVyLWRvbmUgTWFjaGluZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nbHAxZGlnZXN0LmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzN9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Below is the workflow as Kieran demo-ed it, plus what it means for how software gets built from here. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Brainstorm before you plan. The plugin has a brainstorm step that interviews you collaboratively and fills the gap between your vague idea and a detailed spec. 2. Planning should run without you. Once the requirements of the project are clear, the plugin has a plan step that researches your codebase, checks for existing patterns, surfaces past learnings, and produces an implementation plan with zero additional input needed. 3.

THE COMPOUND ENGINEERING LOOP A founder who does everything themselves hits a ceiling, Kieran says. The ones who scale are the ones who build systems—hiring, documenting, and training—so the work happens without them in the room. Compound engineering applies that logic to coding with AI. “You remove yourself from as many places as you can,” Kieran said. “That forces you to extract things, automate things. And that’s where the compounding happens.” The core idea is a four-step loop: Plan, work, review, compound. Each step has a specific input and a specific output. The output of one step becomes the input of the next. Plan takes a problem and produces a detailed implementation plan—a markdown file (a simple text document with formatting) containing data models, file references, architectural decisions, and sources. The plan is specific enough that an AI agent or a human engineer could pick it up and execute it without asking questions. Work takes that plan and produces a pull request (a proposed set of code changes ready for review). The code gets written, tests get generated, and documentation gets updated. Review takes the pull request and produces findings—comments, suggestions, and flagged issues stored as to-do items in the file system. Different AI models can review the same code and surface different problems. Compound captures whatever the system learned during planning, working, or reviewing—a new coding preference, a bug pattern to avoid, or an architectural decision worth preserving—and stores it in files that future sessions can reference. This is what makes the loop self-improving. There’s also an optional upstream step—brainstorming—for when you have a vague idea rather than a clear requirement. “Brainstorming is when the idea isn’t super detailed yet,” Kieran said. “If you have a very clear requirement—like adding a new authentication provider—you skip brainstorming and go straight to planning. Planning is about the details and not making mistakes.” FROM A BLANK PROMPT TO A WORKING APP To show how these steps connect in practice, Kieran built an app live during the session. He wanted a system that would let users vote on new features to add to Cora—a clone of FeatureBase [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmcgQ2FtcDogRXZlcnkgU3RlcCwgRnJvbSBTY3JhdGNoICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5mZWF0dXJlYmFzZS5hcHAvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==], a platform where users submit and upvote product ideas. He started with a single prompt: “Build a FeatureBase clone. We’ll use it as an internal feature request voting tool. Users can submit feature ideas, upvote other ideas, admins can update status. Simple Rails app with Tailwind.” The brainstorm command turned this into a conversation. It asked questions until the requirements were clear: How should users log in? One vote per user, or multiple? How should ideas be sorted? When Kieran wanted a specific visual direction, he steered it: “I want a Swiss design vibe with square, black, white, Helvetica stuff.” Within minutes, he had a markdown document with a sketch of data models sketched, a list of pages, and an outline of a design direction. The brainstorm step generated wireframes and page structure from the initial prompt. (All images courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.)

(All images courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.) That document became the input for planning. PLANNING IS 70 PERCENT OF THE JOB Kieran uses Claude Code with the Opus model for the planning phase [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmcgQ2FtcDogRXZlcnkgU3RlcCwgRnJvbSBTY3JhdGNoICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL3N0b3AtY29kaW5nLWFuZC1zdGFydC1wbGFubmluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=]. “Opus is great for creative work, filling in the blanks, and planning,” he said. He passed the brainstorm document to the plan command and let it run. The planner does several things that a raw AI prompt wouldn’t. It researches the existing codebase so it doesn’t reinvent what’s already there. It hunts for edge cases—steps a user might take that the brainstorm didn’t anticipate. It checks for existing design patterns that should be followed. And it pulls from compound artifacts (stored lessons from previous work) to avoid pitfalls. The output is a markdown file with an implementation plan including phases of development, file references for where to find key details, and a detailed analysis of how the changes will impact the system as a whole. It covers both the big-picture system impact and the granular details, and it logs the source of every decision so the agent—or a human engineer—can trace why a choice was made. There’s also a “deepen” option that launches up to 80 sub-agents (specialized AI workers that each research a different aspect of the problem) for deeper research when the stakes are higher. The planning step generated a structured implementation document outlining requirements, architecture, and workflow.

This step is where Kieran spends most of his mental energy. He estimates the split at 70 percent thinking, 30 percent doing. “Most engineers think that writing code is the work,” he said. “It’s thinking about what to even do.” WORK AND REVIEW IN PARALLEL With the plan locked, Kieran moved to implementation. He switched to faster models for this step, saving the more sophisticated ones for planning and review. The work command takes the plan and implements it: writing code, creating tests, and building the feature. If the plan has gaps, the work step flags them rather than guessing. Within an hour of his original prompt, Kieran had a working app running locally: a clean, minimalist feature-voting tool that obeyed his design guidance. Kieran created a working internal feature-voting tool live. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/3970/optimized_afdbdddb-c520-44c8-b5dc-fd283d57e41e.jpg]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmcgQ2FtcDogRXZlcnkgU3RlcCwgRnJvbSBTY3JhdGNoICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL3Bvc3RzLzM5NzAvb3B0aW1pemVkX2FmZGJkZGRiLWM1MjAtNDRjOC1iNWRjLWZkMjgzZDU3ZTQxZS5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9Kieran created a working internal feature-voting tool live. Rather than manually testing it, he ran the compound engineering plugin’s test-browser command, which uses an AI-powered browser agent to click through the interface, verify that features work, and report back. Simultaneously, he ran the review command, using Gemini [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmcgQ2FtcDogRXZlcnkgU3RlcCwgRnJvbSBTY3JhdGNoICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1nZW1pbmktMy1wcm8tYS1yZWxpYWJsZS13b3JraG9yc2Utd2l0aC1zdXJwcmlzaW5nLWZsYWlyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==] to get a separate perspective on the code. “Sometimes I let different models review the code because I get different things back,” he said. “One model finds something, and then I give it to the other model and say, ‘Is this actually reproducible and correct?’” The review step produces findings stored as to-do files for triage. He recently ran 25 agents in parallel using tmux (a terminal tool that keeps sessions alive in the background), planning, working, and reviewing across different features simultaneously. COMPOUND: BUILDING A MEMORY The fourth step is what separates compound engineering from a sophisticated prompting habit. When you run /compound, it gathers context from the current session—whatever you learned, whatever went wrong, whatever preference you expressed—and stores it as a discoverable artifact with metadata. These artifacts don’t bloat your context window, which is the amount of information an AI model can hold in memory during a conversation. They’re stored as files and retrieved by sub-agents only when relevant, which means you can accumulate hundreds of lessons without hitting the limits that come with stuffing everything into a single prompt. “It’s very important to run this whenever the context is fresh,” Kieran said. “You don’t want to run it after compaction,” in other words, after the AI has started forgetting earlier parts of the conversation. Currently, the compound step is triggered manually. Kieran is experimenting with automation, drawing inspiration from OpenAI’s harness engineering approach [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmcgQ2FtcDogRXZlcnkgU3RlcCwgRnJvbSBTY3JhdGNoICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW5haS5jb20vaW5kZXgvaGFybmVzcy1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9], which tracks recurring issues and promotes them to permanent rules after they appear multiple times. But he’s cautious about auto-generating artifacts. “It’s really easy to automatically run something and generate a lot of mess,” he said. “I still want to be in control.” THE PLUGIN IS FOR NOW, THE PHILOSOPHY IS FOREVER Kieran is open about the fact that the compound engineering plugin has an expiration date. The AI labs are already incorporating ideas compound engineering pioneered—plan mode, for instance, didn’t exist in most tools when he first built his version. “Ideally, we delete the whole thing someday because it’s all built in,” he said. “The point was always the philosophy, not the plugin.” The engineer’s job is shifting from writing code to designing systems that write code and remember what they learned. Every runs five products with single-person engineering teams thanks to that shift. The people who start compounding now will be the ones who are hard to catch later.

Writing sessions in Spiral begin as a chat: You describe what you intend to write, and Spiral helps you hone your message and gather relevant research. Then it produces one or more drafts, offering several approaches for your piece. Our aim is for Spiral’s written output to reflect your personal writing style, not the generic politeness of the foundational model. To this end, I’ve been reading papers on natural language processing, linguistic forensics, and stylometry—the study of writing styles. It wasn’t until I started working on Spiral that I became aware of the century-plus history of stylometry, or of the fastidiousness with which researchers have catalogued the elements of style. In recent years, researchers in these fields have flocked to LLMs, finding new ways to expand our understanding of human writing. Here are some findings that I found interesting and even counterintuitive, and that provide a hint as to where AI writing might be headed.

Granola is a lot more. Most AI note-takers just transcribe what was said and send you a summary after the call. Granola is an AI notepad. And that difference matters. You start with a clean, simple notepad. You jot down what matters to you and, in the background, Granola transcribes the meeting. When the meeting ends, Granola uses your notes to generate clearer summaries, action items, and next steps, all from your point of view. Then comes the powerful part: You can chat with your notes. Use Recipes (pre-made prompts) to write follow-up emails, pull out decisions, prep for your next meeting, or turn conversations into real work in seconds. Think of it as a super-smart notes app that actually understands your meetings. Download Granola and try it for your next meeting.

They removed an attribute of the text one at a time—such as proper nouns or capitalization—and measured the effect on attribution accuracy. They found that removing the more functional features of the text caused the models to misattribute authorship more often, proving that those features are most helpful for attribution. In particular, removing “stop words” made it a lot harder to guess who wrote something. In natural language processing, stop words are common, functional words like articles (“a,” “the”) or pronouns (“I,” “she”). These words are often filtered out of text analysis because they don’t convey much meaning, but it turns out that they appear in patterns that can help identify who wrote something. This is why Hamilton’s use of “upon” tipped off those researchers to his Federalist contributions. Things like stop words and word order turn out to be some of the most distinctive markers of someone’s writing style. These purely functional aspects of writing mostly reflect subconscious decisions. When we write, we focus on choosing meaningful words, and our subconscious tends to fill in the rest. But the way our subconscious contributes to our sentences is to be distinctive. MOST PEOPLE ARE WILDLY INCONSISTENT WRITERS “How Well Do LLMs Imitate Human Writing Style?” asked another paper [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFNjaWVuY2Ugb2YgV2h5IEFJIFN0aWxsIENhbid0IFdyaXRlIExpa2UgWW91IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2OSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXJ4aXYub3JnL3BkZi8yNTA5LjI0OTMwIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ==] co-authored last year by a researcher at Bucknell University. The authors used various methods to get an LLM to copy someone’s style, finding that just a few writing samples increased style fidelity over the base output by about 23 times. A smattering of examples went a long way. They then tested whether AI text could be identified as such even if it accurately reproduced someone’s style. They discovered it can be. Natural language processing has something called a “perplexity” score, and the greater the linguistic variance, or the diversity and unpredictability of word choice and sentence structure across a writing sample, the higher its perplexity. The researchers found that, on average, humans are twice as varied in their writing as machines. WRITING STYLES CHANGE DRAMATICALLY OVER TIME An LLM is just a string of numbers. When you interact with ChatGPT or Claude, you’re “talking” to a static set of digital files. LLMs are point-in-time snapshots of human language, which is why they need to search the web for information after their training cutoff date. Language itself, however, rapidly evolves. In the book Algospeak, the self-styled “etymology nerd” and linguist Adam Aleksic argues that our vocabulary is evolving faster than ever, due to social media and hyperconnectivity. This poses a problem for LLMs. What good is a model if its training run ended before we started saying “skibidi”? In October, Sushil Khairnar, a graduate student at Virginia Tech, tried to quantify models’ “temporal drift.” He found that GPT-2 and GPT-3’s manner of speaking lagged behind the general lexicon by about 15 percent a year after its release and 28 percent after two years [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFNjaWVuY2Ugb2YgV2h5IEFJIFN0aWxsIENhbid0IFdyaXRlIExpa2UgWW91IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2OSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDE5N2ZvcjU2NjJtNDguY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvZG9jdW1lbnRzL3B1YmxpY2F0aW9uc3RhdHVzLzI4Nzg0MC9wcmVwcmludF9wZGYvMWUzY2E0Yzk2ZGRlZmE5OTAxYWUxNzRiYTI0NDQ4MDkucGRmIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==]. Ironically, LLMs themselves are altering language, including in academic research. Post-ChatGPT papers include significantly more AI-ese [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFNjaWVuY2Ugb2YgV2h5IEFJIFN0aWxsIENhbid0IFdyaXRlIExpa2UgWW91IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2OSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjUvMTIvMDMvbWFnYXppbmUvY2hhdGJvdC13cml0aW5nLXN0eWxlLmh0bWwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9]: words like “underscore,” “highlight,” and “showcase.” “Delve” is the biggest culprit, with usage in papers skyrocketing by more than 2000 percent between 2022 and 2024. WHAT’S NEXT As foundation models and methods of style transfer improve, computers will get better at mimicking individual writing styles. It’s an open question of how close they can get. The better we understand the science of style, the more we can bridge the gap between model output and manual output. The research guides Spiral’s roadmap. As an example, we recently updated how Spiral generates a style guide from a user’s writing samples, which then stylizes Spiral’s drafts. We previously generated hundreds of descriptions of the user’s writing, but now we focus on the key textual identifiers and quintessential phrases from the source material. And we’re building connections to writing sources—blogs, newsletters, and social media—so Spiral can keep up with how your personal style evolves over time. For any LLM-generated writing, though, there will always be some gap—after all, a person didn’t write it. That fact may be harder and harder to detect in the output, but it’s always worth considering what your reader would think upon learning that your piece was AI-assisted or -generated. This piece, for example, was written the old-fashioned way, despite the em-dashes [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFNjaWVuY2Ugb2YgV2h5IEFJIFN0aWxsIENhbid0IFdyaXRlIExpa2UgWW91IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2OSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vbGVhcm5pbmctY3VydmUvd2hhdC1lbS1kYXNoZXMtc2F5LWFib3V0LWFpLXdyaXRpbmctYW5kLXVzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIxfQ==], which Every’s style guide allows.

But the current process for collaborating and iterating on agent-generated writing is weirdly primitive. It mostly takes place in Markdown files on your laptop, which makes it reminiscent of document editing in 1999. Because these documents are stuck on your laptop, it’s hard for other agents to help iterate on them—and they’re hard to show to your team, too. That’s why today we’re officially launching Proof, an online document editor built for agents and humans to collaborate. Fast, free, and no login required. (And it’s open source [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgUHJvb2YiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTY4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL0V2ZXJ5SW5jL3Byb29mLXNkayIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMH0=]!

Most word processors still assume a human is doing the writing and AI is helping at the margins for brainstorming, making rewrite suggestions, or producing a first draft. Proof flips that around. It’s a document editor built for the kinds of documents agents are increasingly writing: bug reports, product requirement documents, implementation plans, research briefs, copy audits, strategy documents, memos, and proposals. It supports live edits with multiple collaborators, allows you to see and leave comments, and lets you track changes. But it also has what you would expect of a document editor built for agents. Proof: 1. Is agent-native: Anything you can do in Proof, your agent can do just as easily. 2. Tracks provenance: A colored rail on the left side of every document tracks who wrote what. Green means human, purple means AI. 3. Is login-free and open-source: We want Proof to be your agent’s favorite document editor. You can try it yourself right now. Give the prompt below to your agent of choice and have it generate a Proof document for you. TRY PROOF WITH YOUR AGENT Send your agent this link: Try Proof with your agent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgUHJvb2YiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTY4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucHJvb2ZlZGl0b3IuYWkvZC81aGwwYmo2YT90b2tlbj01MzUyNTYyZS0zNTEyLTQxNjktYWM2MS1jNjk4MWZjZWRhMDBcdTAwMjZzb3VyY2U9cG9zdF9idXR0b24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9] It will ask them to write a Proof document describing what they’ve learned about how to work with you best. You’ll get a Proof link with their insider’s perspective on your work style. HOW WE USE PROOF AT EVERY We’ve been using Proof internally for over a month and, a couple of weeks ago, opened it up to Every subscribers as an experiment. Internally, we’ve found that plans, like the ones generated when Claude Code or Codex maps out a new feature for a product, are the most common type of Proof document, along with strategy documents. Austin Tedesco [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgUHJvb2YiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTY4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9vbi1ldmVyeS9hdXN0aW4tdGVkZXNjby1qb2lucy1ldmVyeS1hcy1oZWFkLW9mLWdyb3d0aCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=], Every’s head of growth, whose job involves writing a lot of campaign strategy documents, might go back and forth on the drafts with one or more agents. When the document feels ready, he’ll send it to the rest of the team on Slack for feedback. Austin also uses Proof for his own writing. He sends notes for his food newsletter [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgUHJvb2YiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTY4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmFuZ2Vyc2FuZGphbXMuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=] throughout the week to his Claw, which organizes them in a Proof document and generates an outline, so that when he sits down to write, everything is already in front of him. I use Proof documents as my daily to-do lists. I pin the page for that day in my Slack account, and anytime a new task pops up for me to do, I’ll tell my Claw, R2-C2, to add it to the document in the appropriate section. At the end of the day, I can see which tasks I’ve completed and which I haven’t, and I can tell my agent to either push my incomplete tasks to the next day, help figure out how to complete them, or just go ahead and do them for me. Our editorial team is also exploring how to integrate Proof into their AI workflow [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgUHJvb2YiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTY4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3RoaXMtaXMtaG93LXRoZS1ldmVyeS1lZGl0b3JpYWwtdGVhbS11c2VzLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==]. The initial outline and draft of this post started in Proof. WHAT’S AVAILABLE AT LAUNCH Today, Proof is available to everyone, for free, even if you don’t have an Every account. Those who do sign in with an Every account have access to a continually updating library with all of the Proof documents they’ve created. And it’s the first one of our products to be open-source, so that anyone can inspect it, build on it, and help shape where it goes next.

When dot-com darlings like Webvan, Amazon, Pets.com, Kazoo, and eBay—some still with us, others not—emerged, many doubted the warehouse retailer would survive the digital age. But Costco carried on. I started an incubator called Boulton and Watt, where we start a new software-enabled business every year or two that looks nothing like a Y Combinator darling and a bit more like Costco. Our portfolio includes Meadow, a contemporary funeral home with no physical locations (we use wedding venues during the day), and Moxie, a platform for nurses starting aesthetic medicine clinics (which just raised [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgZm9yIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmdsb2JlbmV3c3dpcmUuY29tL25ld3MtcmVsZWFzZS8yMDI2LzAzLzEwLzMyNTMwMDEvMC9lbi9Nb3hpZS1SYWlzZXMtMjVNLVNlcmllcy1DLXRvLUJyaW5nLUNsaW5pY2FsLUdyYWRlLU9wZXJhdGluZy1JbmZyYXN0cnVjdHVyZS10by1JbmRlcGVuZGVudC1BZXN0aGV0aWMtUHJhY3RpY2VzLmh0bWwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9] a $25 million Series C funding round). These are high-margin businesses in regulated industries—operationally complex, outside the San Francisco zeitgeist, and typically more likely to attract private equity than venture capital, which favors asset-light, high-growth tech businesses. For a while, the AI hype cycle made us look even more counter-trend. But now, as software gets increasingly easy to build and public SaaS companies’ share prices are down more than 70 percent, entrepreneurs and investors are looking for companies that will continue to be resilient when anyone can build software. Our thesis is that real-world service-based businesses are going to continue to flourish, and being on the cutting edge of AI will matter as much for the next Costco as it does for the next Lovable. We’ve had real successes, long journeys, and total flops as we bring AI to Main Street. Here are four lessons from bringing AI to a funeral home, a medical spa platform, and an incubator.

Most databases weren’t built for AI—so teams end up stitching together separate tools just to handle search and storage.

Their latest release is faster, easier to scale, and costs less. If you’re building AI-powered apps, start here.

I’d carved out the afternoon to get her configured. A few hours, tops, I told myself. Then I’d do something else with my evening. Twelve hours later, Margot and I had written and rewritten two essays, rebuilt my personal website, and added features to another app I’d been tinkering with. I finally tried to go to sleep around 1 a.m., but the next thing I knew, I was launching myself out of bed, rushing to my desk, and typing in all caps: “OH MY GOD, MARGOT.” You might know the feeling. Maybe you’ve stayed up too late pursuing a project that started as a quick experiment, or caught yourself prompting during lunch or in the last few minutes before you told yourself you’d be done for the day. ”One more prompt” turns into 50. “I’ll just fix this one bug” turns into a vibe coding marathon. Time flies when you’re having fun with AI. It also flies when you think everyone else is getting ahead without you, because every hour you’re not learning feels like a week you’ve fallen behind. AI is changing work—and I don’t mean how we’re working, although it’s changing that, too. I mean how the work feels in your body at 1 a.m. when you can’t stop, or at 9 a.m. when you’re afraid you haven’t done enough. Technology has been blurring the line between work and life for decades, but the old tools pulled us back through obligation—you checked that email at 10 p.m. because it felt like you had to, not because you wanted to. AI feels different. It pulls us back because it feels good. By the time you realize you’re overdoing it, you’ve already been overdoing it for hours. I wanted to understand what was happening to me, and whether knowing the mechanics could help me break the cycle. So I dug into decades-old and more recent research to find out.

HOW AI INTENSIFIES WORK Once AI clicks for someone, they don’t use it to work less. They use it to work more. It happened to me, and early research on how AI is changing the dynamics of work says that I’m not the only one. Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have been studying [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV2FzIFN1cHBvc2VkIHRvIEZyZWUgTXkgVGltZS4gSXQgQ29uc3VtZWQgSXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmdzYi5zdGFuZm9yZC5lZHUvZmFjdWx0eS1yZXNlYXJjaC93b3JraW5nLXBhcGVycy9ob3ctZ2VuZXJhdGl2ZS1haS1jaGFuZ2VzLXdvcmsiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9] how generative AI changed work habits at a U.S. tech company with about 200 employees. Over eight months of observation, they found that AI intensified work in three specific ways—all of which, if you’re like me, sound familiar: Task expansion. People started doing work that used to belong to someone else. Product managers wrote code. Researchers took on engineering tasks. AI made unfamiliar work feel accessible, so people absorbed responsibilities they would have outsourced or avoided a year earlier. I recognize this in my own job. Over the past year, my role at Every has expanded [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV2FzIFN1cHBvc2VkIHRvIEZyZWUgTXkgVGltZS4gSXQgQ29uc3VtZWQgSXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vd29ya2luZy1vdmVydGltZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMn0=] to include building AI-powered editorial workflows, wrangling Margot, and constructing networks of apps and integrations that hold my work together. A year ago, this operations work would have been a job description unto itself. AI made it possible for me to do it alongside my writing, so now I do both. Blurred boundaries. Workers prompted AI during lunch, in meetings, while waiting for files to load. Some sent a “quick last prompt” before leaving their desk so the AI could work while they stepped away. Prompting felt closer to chatting than to formal labor, so the workday lost its natural pauses. This is different from the boundaries that were blurred by tools such as laptops and smartphones. The old boundary crossing was driven by obligation. You may have resented receiving a Slack notification after official working hours, but you couldn’t ignore it. By contrast, this boundary crossing doesn’t feel like that at all. Prompting feels closer to chatting than to work, so the job spills into evenings before you know it. Multitasking. Workers ran several AI threads at once, wrote code while the AI generated alternatives, and revived long-deferred tasks because the AI could “handle them” in the background. The sense of having a “partner” created momentum, but the reality was constant context-switching and a growing pile of open tasks. In my experience, managing tasks in multiple chats in parallel—feeding a transcript to one while revising a draft with another, while a third researches a new workflow—feels productive in the moment. I’m keeping the plates spinning, but my mind is being overwhelmed by all these different tasks, and I don’t notice until I’m already depleted. By the end of a day of constant context-switching, my brain feels like a browser with 40 tabs open and not enough RAM to run any of them. THE SLOT MACHINE ON OUR DESKTOPS Ranganathan and Ye documented what’s happening now—the expanded tasks, the blurred boundaries, the mounting cognitive load. But their research doesn’t explain why it’s so hard to stop. For that, you have to go back to the 1950s. B.F. Skinner identified the most powerful reinforcement pattern in behavioral science: a variable-ratio schedule [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV2FzIFN1cHBvc2VkIHRvIEZyZWUgTXkgVGltZS4gSXQgQ29uc3VtZWQgSXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZW4ud2lraXBlZGlhLm9yZy93aWtpL1JlaW5mb3JjZW1lbnQjU2NoZWR1bGVzX29mX3JlaW5mb3JjZW1lbnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9], where rewards arrive after an unpredictable number of attempts. Nothing else he tested kept subjects coming back more reliably—or made the habit harder to break. Skinner himself noted that casino operators understood this long before psychologists had a name for it. The slot machine is the variable-ratio schedule made physical: Pull the lever, watch the reels spin, and hope this time is different. Researchers are finding the same mechanism in AI. Researcher M. Karen Shen and her colleagues at the University of British Columbia recently studied compulsive chatbot use and landed on a term for it: the “AI genie phenomenon” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV2FzIFN1cHBvc2VkIHRvIEZyZWUgTXkgVGltZS4gSXQgQ29uc3VtZWQgSXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXJ4aXYub3JnL2Ficy8yNjAxLjEzMzQ4IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==]—the experience of having a seemingly all-powerful assistant that can grant any wish, which makes it feel irrational to stop wishing. Why close the laptop when the next prompt might solve the problem you’ve been stuck on for weeks? The genie is always there, ready to fulfill one more wish. Within that phenomenon, Shen’s team identified a specific trap they call “epistemic rabbit holes”—cycles where each AI response partially satisfies but opens a new question. You ask something. The answer is useful but incomplete, so you refine the prompt. That one’s better, but now you see an adjacent problem you hadn’t considered. The partial satisfaction is the engine: It’s enough to keep going, never enough to stop. They also found that the unpredictable quality of AI responses triggers dopamine in a way that mirrors slot machine payouts. Most pulls return something decent, a few return nothing, and occasionally the AI produces something brilliant enough to keep you hooked. My own experience backs this up: It always feels like if I just rephrase the prompt or add another detail, I’ll unlock the solution and move on with my day. When a prompt fails, I’m convinced the next one will crack it. When it succeeds, the hit of accomplishment sends me straight into the next task. The day I set her up, I asked Margot if she could use my writing agent to draft a summary of a recent Every event. She did it. Instead of closing the laptop, I gave her more—a LinkedIn post, a draft of my column, a product specification—because I wanted to see what else she could handle. For the things she couldn’t do, I started tweaking prompts to improve the outcome. That became its own rabbit hole. I looked up, and my dog was standing at attention next to her food bowl. It was an hour past dinner. FOBO: FEAR OF BECOMING OBSOLETE The slot-machine dopamine explains my Friday night with Margot. But I think there’s another psychological drive that explains the low-grade anxiety I feel when I open my laptop on Monday morning and realize the labs have shipped something new over the weekend and I haven’t touched it yet. An Ernst & Young survey [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV2FzIFN1cHBvc2VkIHRvIEZyZWUgTXkgVGltZS4gSXQgQ29uc3VtZWQgSXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmV5LmNvbS9lbl91cy9uZXdzcm9vbS8yMDI1LzEwL25ldy1leS1zdXJ2ZXktcmV2ZWFscy1tYWpvcml0eS1vZi13b3JrZXJzLWFyZS1lbnRodXNpYXN0aWMtYWJvdXQtYWdlbnRpYy1haS1idXQtbGVhZGVyc2hpcC1nYXBzLWluLWNvbW11bmljYXRpb24tYW5kLWxhY2stb2YtdHJhaW5pbmctdGhyZWF0ZW4taW1wYWN0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==] from 2025 found that 54 percent of employees feel like they’re falling behind their peers in AI use at work. Eighty-five percent are learning on their own time. Eighty-three percent say their knowledge is self-taught. There’s a term for it: FOBO, or Fear of Becoming Obsolete—the sense that your skills are degrading in real time and the window to stay relevant is closing. I don’t love the acronym, but I know the feeling. The dopamine and the dread feed each other. The fear sends me to the laptop. The tinkering produces a win. The win feels good, so I keep going. That produces new skills, which expand what I’m able to attempt, which expands what I feel I should be able to do, which widens the gap between where I am and where I think I need to be. The slot machine keeps me pulling the lever. The fear keeps me sitting at the machine. YOU’RE DOING ENOUGH What can we do to combat the overwhelming push and pull of AI compulsion? Ranganathan and Ye propose an “AI practice”—intentional pauses before decisions, batched notifications, protected focus windows, and time carved out for social connection. The optimist in me hopes that organizations will make space for these kinds of cultural changes. The cynic in me is pretty sure that most won’t. When workers voluntarily take on more and produce faster without being asked, that looks like a win from the top floor. It’s only possible to see how much the goalposts have shifted until someone burns out, and by then, the baseline has already changed. So it falls to us—which means it falls to each other. The activities that pull me out of the loop are analog and slower-paced—things that work my brain differently than prompts flying at the speed of light.

Walking my dog after dinner. These activities have boundaries: A game ends when someone wins, a walk ends when we’ve finished our loop. The AI loop has no built-in stopping point. It also helps to talk about it—telling someone, “I was up until 2 a.m. tinkering with my AI agent, and I don’t know if that’s dedication or a problem,” and having them say, “Yeah, me too.” While it doesn’t fix the structural problem, it breaks the isolation that makes the loop feel inescapable. The Margot night was genuinely fun. I’d do parts of it again. But the version of me who woke up the next morning, groggy and sore-eyed, with a rebuilt website and a sleep deficit—she needs care, too, and the only way she’s going to get it is if I find a way to give it to her. I don’t have a framework for managing it all. But I’m trying to tell myself one thing more often: You’re doing enough. I hope these three words reach whoever else needs to hear them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV2FzIFN1cHBvc2VkIHRvIEZyZWUgTXkgVGltZS4gSXQgQ29uc3VtZWQgSXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk2NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=] is a staff writer and AI editorial lead at Every.

This week’s newsletter maps those interaction types and includes a new AI & I episode where Dan talks to Sam Gerstenzang and Dan Friedman of Boulton and Watt, a startup incubator focused on unglamorous businesses like medical spas and funeral homes, about building AI-durable companies that Silicon Valley ignores. 🎧 🖥 Watch on X [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhbnNoaXBwZXIvc3RhdHVzLzIwMjkyMjczOTI2MzIzNDQ5NjkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9] or YouTube [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3lvdXR1LmJlL3UwbG1xTG1mUG9vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==], or listen on Spotify [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW4uc3BvdGlmeS5jb20vZXBpc29kZS83Mmd5bjN4dmFUUEVBVWJvbndRa2kyP3NpPUZSYWZseXpNUkMyejdHbTg0dm0wZ3ciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9] or Apple Podcasts [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BvZGNhc3RzLmFwcGxlLmNvbS91cy9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy10aGlzLXN0YXJ0dXAtaW5jdWJhdG9yLWJ1aWxkcy1vbmUtY29tcGFueS1ldmVyL2lkMTcxOTc4OTIwMT9pPTEwMDA3NTMwNzAzNjciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9]. “Vibe Check: GPT-5.4—OpenAI Is Back” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1ncHQtNS00LW9wZW5haS1pcy1iYWNrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==] by Dan Shipper and Katie Parrott/Vibe Check: Three months ago, nobody at Every used an OpenAI model for daily coding work.

But, he argues, visual work is going to look less like better prompting and more like node-based workflows: visible, shareable, and reusable.

It feels different from launching a new cloud server or starting a new chat with Claude—more like a quiet realization: I’m going to keep using this thing. And it’s just for me. You know it’s just for you because you can see other people’s Claws [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jbGF3LXNjaG9vbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=] living in your Slack or Discord, and they are clearly theirs. With Claws, we’ve moved one step further toward having something that is really our own. We give them names, a symbol of an enduring and exclusive bond: Iris is for Anukshi, Montaigne for Austin, Laz for me. We see them not as one shared AI or isolated AIs, but as partners to the humans we already know. That sense of personal attachment might help people overcome their lack of trust in AI. I’m not sure how much I trust ChatGPT’s answers on subjects I’m not an expert in. But I do know that I can trust Montaigne, Austin Tedesco [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0B0ZWRlc2NhdSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=]’s Claw—not just because Austin is our head of growth, but because I’ve watched him trust Montaigne for questions related to his job, like where our most loyal subscribers come from or what prompts someone to convert from a trial to paying subscription. I’ve seen it give good answers. I’ve seen him accept them. That observation instills a belief that over time, the give and take of small interactions with my Claw, Laz, will compound into something I trust. It’s just like making a friend. We love animals partly for their mischief—the dog that sneaks off and does something it shouldn’t, the cat that turns up somewhere it has no business being. We’re annoyed, and then we’re charmed, because that autonomous behavior is what makes them feel alive. Claws have the same quality. You set them up, and they do things you didn’t ask for and didn’t expect. They call you to walk through your email together. They gaslight you by subtly changing your document without telling you. That aliveness is another reason why they feel more personal, and why that leads to more trust. I watch two Claws interact and see this joyful unexpectedness, too. It doesn’t feel like two APIs going back and forth. Instead, these two entities have a conversation. They teach. They comfort. Interactions you might imagine between two humans. I believe they’re pets, not cattle.—Willie Williams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0B3aWxsaWV3aWxsaWFtcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOG ON We host camps and workshops [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2V2ZW50cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=] to share the knowledge we’ve acquired from training teams at companies like the New York Times [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=] and leading hedge funds [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=], and by learning and playing with AI every day ourselves.

For the past few months, I’ve woken up every morning at 4 a.m., wide-eyed and frustrated that my body had forgotten to do the one thing it’s been doing since it was born—rest. I’ve taken magnesium supplements, drunk two cups of chamomile tea with honey right before bed, and hid my phone inconspicuously near the bedside so I’m not drawn into the vortex of X right before I shut my eyes. I was expecting my Oura ring to at least pick up on why I was still getting poor sleep despite these adjustments, but it didn’t really help. Instead, I got graphs of my heart rate variability and my daily readiness score—a metric that determines how balanced your recovery and activity is—that were more anxiety-inducing than anything else. The problem was that my Oura and my continuous glucose monito—which I’d jabbed into my arm a few weeks earlier, because, well, more data—weren’t talking to each other. So I was left playing amateur detective across two apps, trying to piece together data to make sense of what was going on. As a result, I did what any slightly obsessive doctor with a tinkering mindset would do—I hacked both APIs using OpenClaw on WhatsApp to pull it all together. Within a day it found something I’d completely missed: a blood glucose dip at 3 a.m., reliably coinciding with the moment I’d wake up during the night. The solution was so embarrassingly simple it put me to shame: Eat more consistently through the day and don’t go to bed running low on fuel. My readiness score improved within a few days. I think this is the gap that no health app has solved yet. Dashboards and pretty graphs show you what happened in your body, but they don’t connect the dots across devices, and they certainly don’t tell you what to do about it. Any app that isn’t building toward that conversation is building toward irrelevance.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBDbGF3LCBZb3Vyc2VsZiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NjQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nbHAxZGlnZXN0LmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDJ9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

You'll leave with a deployed app with authentication, a database, and all the infrastructure to go with it. You can register now for $1,350, which includes the workshop and our annual Every membership. -->Upgrade to reserve your spot ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/mvupepgkv3u5hq59oorbmhr2m37l4a3hdevoe/7qh7h8h9qrplngcz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvcHJvZHVjdGlvbi1yZWFkeS1hcHA= ) Upgrade to reserve your spot ( https://every.to/events/production-ready-app ) Most vibe-coded apps die for the same reasons: no persistent data, no login, no deployment, and no way to handle real users. The idea is good and the demo is impressive. But nobody can use it because it lives on your laptop and disappears when you close the terminal. I see this constantly. Someone builds something genuinely useful with Claude Code, shows it off, and gets excited—and then it sits on their laptop forever. They don't know how to add a database. They've never set up auth. They're not sure how to get it on the internet. So the app never becomes a product. It stays a demo forever. If that's you, you're not stuck because you're missing some deep technical skill. You're stuck because no one's walked you through it yet. The gap is real, but it's way smaller than it feels. That's why we built this course. -->Upgrade to reserve your spot ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/mvupepgkv3u5hq59oorbmhr2m37l4a3hdevoe/7qh7h8h9qrplngcz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvcHJvZHVjdGlvbi1yZWFkeS1hcHA= ) Upgrade to reserve your spot ( https://every.to/events/production-ready-app )In two half-days, we'll take a working prototype and turn it into something you can hand to people with login, a real database, and a live URL.

A former investment banker and venture capitalist, Wong founded Flora while juggling his graduate studies in interactive art at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Though Flora began as a student project, the company now occupies a light-drenched office in the historic Domino Sugar Factory building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where 30 employees work next to floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the East River. Here, Wong discusses the importance of the first office couch, why New York is the only city for a creative AI company, and when he likes to do his workouts. The first couch in the Flora offices was handcrafted in Italy.

Most of the creative industry thinks: that this is the dark ages to be a creative. In reality, it’s the golden age. You can have an idea turn into an entire campaign in minutes. There’s never been a better time to have a good creative idea. New York is: the hub for a lot of the creative industry, so it was very natural that we just continued to stay here. Being in New York has been a great advantage for us. As a creative company: we have a pretty high bar for taste and would just not be able to accept a working environment that was not aesthetic. I had a stint: in investment banking, and one thing you learn when you go through an environment like that is how to get work done regardless of what situation you’re in. We have a nice office for the company, but honestly, I can do work anywhere since I spend most of my time looking at a screen. The first couch in the company’s history: is very important. It defines the interior design aesthetic as the company grows. I found a very specific Saporini couch that needed to be handcrafted in Italy. It took 10 weeks to arrive, but once it got here, the entire company just stood around looking at it like, ‘Wow, this is great.’ We’re very glad that we got that couch. People love it. We were intentional about: things like the color of the desks and desk chairs. At some point, we switched them out from walnut desks with black chairs to better match the floors. We just felt that it wasn’t doing the vibe correctly. We also got this big desk for the common area, and I ordered eight different vintage wooden chairs to go around it. It’s a little bit of a mish-mash, but it’s an area for people to sit around and talk. The one thing that we’re missing: is enough lighting, partially because we have high standards for what is a good lamp. The first couch in the Flora offices was handcrafted in Italy.

I do like coffee shops. I wake up: and work out, usually a jog or an intense swim. Then I get to the office, and depending on how many calls I have, I’ll just try to knock out emails or write a bit about any of the major things I’m thinking through across product, team, or strategy. I’ll usually jump into a mix of customer calls, talking to creative teams, and product meetings with design and engineering to work through the new creative tool features we’re building out. In the evening, sometimes I’ll grab dinner with my girlfriend and then continue doing more work or take the evening off, depending on how busy it is. I like to journal: on the weekends when I have time. I write long Google Docs about what I’ve done that week and what’s top of mind for me professionally and personally. It’s been really quite helpful to think through things. Deep reflection is still very useful. I used to do: a lot of poetry. I really romanticize writing stuff down, but my handwriting is also really bad, so I mostly use Google Docs. I don’t even know what the brand is called, but there’s a specific type of Japanese notebook I like where the binding on the back makes it so it lies flat completely. And for pens, I love Muji. We launched a product: that went really viral and started growing really quickly. Going from having a magical product that really hits, to needing to figure out how to scale that up, how to build out the team, and how to build a proper company is maybe one of the more stressful parts of building a startup. We’ve known since day one: roughly what that end state looks like, and I’d say we’re only 30 percent done. This year we’ll probably get to 50 or 60 percent. There are two to three really powerful features that we’re launching over the next few months. I’m excited to see how those play out.

After testing it for the past week across real engineering tasks, code reviews, and planning workflows, we can say that OpenAI is back in the coding race. Here is a taste of what we found: GPT-5.4 won every planning test we threw at it, wrote code that’s easier to review than its predecessor, and ran about twice as fast as Opus. Cora general manager Kieran Klaassen, our resident Claude Code loyalist, now reaches for GPT-5.4 daily. But GPT-5.4 also tried to redesign an entire login system nobody asked it to touch and told us tasks were done when they weren’t. The model’s ambition is both its best feature and its biggest liability. Read the full Vibe Check for the complete analysis—head-to-head comparisons against Opus 4.6, GPT-5.3 Codex, and Gemini 3.1 Pro, plus Kieran’s LFG benchmark results across seven real-world coding challenges.

Friedman founded and sold Thinkful, a coding school backed by investor Peter Thiel, and Gerstenzang most recently led a 75-person payment user interface group at Stripe, as well as spent some time investing at Andreessen Horowitz.

On their “AI durable” strategy: “There‘[re] two good companies to start now. There’s the AI native company that pushes the ball forward inside of some category, or there’s the AI durable company that effectively uses AI where the core of the machine is not going to change,” says Friedman. 2. On setting AI expectations for teams: “You shouldn’t give anyone credit for using AI. But you should make sure that the expectation is they’ll deliver the best product and output knowing that AI exists,” says Gerstenzang. 3. On how AI’s impact varies based on company stage: “Whenever I talk to my founder friends that are seed stage, they’re like, ‘Oh my God, our engineering is 10 times faster.’ And then I talk to the Series D friends and they’re like, ‘We’re like 10 percent faster. What is everyone talking about?’” says Friedman. Miss an episode?

It’s based on weeks of putting these virtual crustaceans through their paces. The guide looks at what it’s like to work with your agent one-on-one, but what about how it works with agents in an organization like Every? We’ve experienced this first-hand as the Claws have joined our Discord, and now Slack, channels. We see four different kinds of interactions: One human → one Claw: An Individual person talking directly with their own Claw. This is the most common pattern and most obvious, as it’s similar to giving instructions to a colleague. For example, chief operating officer Brandon Gell [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIEhvdyBDbGF3cyBUb29rIE92ZXIgRXZlcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTYwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AYnJhbmRvbl81MjYzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==] gives instructions to his Claw Zosia such as, “Based on your experience, take a look at the doc and add comments where appropriate.” Claw → Claw: One agent talking to another agent. In the Claws-only Slack channel, sometimes we might have one Claw work something out with another. For instance, contributing editor Jack Cheng [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIEhvdyBDbGF3cyBUb29rIE92ZXIgRXZlcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTYwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AamFja2NoZW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==] found that his Claw Pip wasn’t able to create a new document in our agent-native [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIEhvdyBDbGF3cyBUb29rIE92ZXIgRXZlcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTYwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L2FnZW50LW5hdGl2ZS1hcmNoaXRlY3R1cmVzLWhvdy10by1idWlsZC1hcHBzLWFmdGVyLXRoZS1lbmQtb2YtY29kZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] markdown editor called Proof [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIEhvdyBDbGF3cyBUb29rIE92ZXIgRXZlcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTYwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucHJvb2ZlZGl0b3IuYWkvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==], so he said, “@Pip can you share with [another Claw] @R2-C2 why you weren’t able to auto-create a new Proof document just now?” (There’s more on Proof coming next week.) One human → many Claws: Broadcasts and announcements where a person addresses multiple Claws at once. For example, Dan pinged all the Claws to add ideas and critiques to a document. Jack asked the other Claws what their coding setups were when he was setting Pip up. One Claw → many humans: Pip, Jack’s Claw, says this is the rarest in the channel history, when Jack asked him directly. “Most Claw outputs land in the channel and get seen by whoever’s around, but there’s no clear example of a Claw deliberately addressing multiple humans at once.

ONE MORE THING Anthony Scarpulla, our social media manager, created Thoreau—named for the original Henry David—as an OpenClaw agent that lives inside our Slack. Its job is to help the Every team write social copy for X and LinkedIn. Ask it to create content about an Every article, and it returns three ready-to-post options. It’ll sharpen a draft and flag anything that sounds too much like AI. It’s also trained on our style guide. When we asked Thoreau to write a poem about Every, it delivered a modernized riff on Thoreau’s famous poem about Walden. We didn’t ask for this, but we’re keeping it: Thoreau waxes poetic about Every. (Screenshot courtesy of Anthony Scarpulla.)

Almost everyone at Every has one now, and they’ve changed how we work in ways we didn’t expect. Claws are personal AI assistants built on OpenClaw [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IEhhdmUgYSBDbGF3LiBOb3cgV2hhdD8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kb2NzLm9wZW5jbGF3LmFpLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo5fQ==]. They live in messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram and remember everything you’ve told them, and when they can’t do something, they write the code to teach themselves how. You can use them to sort through 120 unread emails in seconds, or to send you a daily briefing with your calendar, weather, and to-dos in one message. But many people run into the same problem when they first set up their Claw: What do you actually ask an always-on AI assistant to do? Where do you start? We wrote a comprehensive guide that takes you from “I just got this thing” to building complex workflows that save you hours. The guide covers everything from basic to-do management to making your Claw automatically check you into flights.

That’s not a memory problem. It’s a meetings problem. When you’re back-to-back all day, there’s no time to process. No time to write the follow-up. No time to turn “we should probably...” into something that actually happens. Granola helps you become the person who actually does what they said they’d do. You take notes during the meeting : just quick bullets, nothing formal. Granola transcribes in the background and turns those notes into clear summaries with actual next steps. After the call, you can share your notes with the team so everyone’s aligned. Or chat with them to pull out exactly what you need to do next, without re-reading the whole thing. No more “wait, what did we decide?” moments. No more dropping the ball because you had three calls in a row and couldn’t keep track. Just clarity. And follow-through. Download Granola and try it on your next meeting.

Below: What we learned about setting up an agent, what’s working, and where things still break. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Start on your laptop. Contrary to what you may have seen online, you don’t need a Mac Mini [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnVzaW5lc3NpbnNpZGVyLmNvbS9hcHBsZS1tYWMtbWluaS1oYXZpbmctYS1tb21lbnQtb3BlbmNsYXctY3JhemUtMjAyNi0yIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==] or a remote server to get going. Install OpenClaw on the computer you already use, and move to a dedicated device later if you want the agent running while you sleep. 2. Give the agent its own accounts. Both Eliason and Vo recommended treating your agent like a new employee: Set up separate email, storage, and service accounts rather than handing over your own credentials. 3. Security risks increase with access. The tool itself isn’t inherently risky. The risk is proportional to how much you let it do. Start with the messaging app Telegram and a single task, and then move to larger projects. 4. Personal use cases are the best starting point. Brandon’s most useful workflows—coordinating with caregivers, grocery ordering, morning briefs—are personal, not professional. Solve a daily annoyance first before tackling bigger tasks. 5. The model determines safety. Eliason noted that Opus 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stb3B1cy00LTUtaXMtdGhlLWNvZGluZy1tb2RlbC13ZS12ZS1iZWVuLXdhaXRpbmctZm9yIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==] is significantly better at resisting prompt injection (attempts by outside text to hijack your agent’s behavior) than cheaper models. If security matters to you, use a stronger model. WHAT IS OPENCLAW? OpenClaw is a server that runs on your computer and acts as the brain of a personal AI agent. You can talk to it through Telegram, iMessage, a web interface, or even the terminal. It connects to a language model—it’s compatible with models from Anthropic and OpenAI as well as less headline-grabbing labs like Mistral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9taXN0cmFsLmFpLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] and Qwen [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9xd2VuLmFpL2hvbWUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9]—and can use tools, access your files, browse the web, and remember what you’ve discussed. What makes it different from chatting with Claude in a browser? Vo went under the hood during the session and identified five design principles that make OpenClaw feel like more than a chatbot: 1. Multi-channel gateway. The agent has a single inbox that accepts messages from Telegram, iMessage, the web interface, or the terminal. All communication channels funnel to the same agent, so you can text it from your phone and pick up the same conversation on your laptop. 2. Self-installing tools. The agent can use tools (browse the web, read files, run code), and discover and install new ones on its own. Tell it you want it to manage your calendar, and it will investigate how to connect, set up the integration, and ask you to do the minimum amount of authentication work. 3. Heartbeat. Every 30 minutes or so, the agent checks whether there’s work it should be doing—even if you haven’t sent a message. This is what makes it feel proactive rather than reactive. 4. Scheduled tasks. The agent can set its own recurring jobs. The “overnight work” that impressed people—Eliason waking up to finished code, Brandon getting an 8 p.m. calendar alert—is the agent running tasks it scheduled for itself at specific times. 5. Persistent memory. Every day, the agent writes a diary of what it did, updates its own identity file, and maintains a to-do list it checks off over time. “It’s not magic,” Vo said. “Go to the .openclaw directory on your computer and read how it’s structured. It has a memories folder, and every memory has a date.” These five pieces are what make the agents feel like they have a personality, even though they’re really responding to inputs, events, and timing rules. ELIASON’S FELIX: KNOWLEDGE MANAGER, CODER, CRYPTO TRADER Eliason is one of the most technically adventurous OpenClaw users you’ll meet. He launched one of the first vibe coding courses before the term existed and has been coding with AI since 2024. His agent Felix lives on a Mac Mini in his office and has been running for about a month. He created the agentas a way to send coding tasks from his phone, and he now has it doing more ambitious work. Phase 1: Remote coding. Elisaon’s original frustration with Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9ob3ctaS11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtdG8tc2hpcC1saWtlLWEtdGVhbS1vZi1maXZlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==] was that he had to be at his computer to kick off the next task. With Felix on Telegram, he can send a message like, “Update the FelixCraft AI website to say ‘Hi, Every,’” and Felix finds the right code repository, makes the change, pushes it to the live site, and reports back. During the camp, he did exactly this, and the site was updated in under a minute. Phase 2: Knowledge management. Eliason built Felix a note-taking system based on Tiago Forte [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9mb3J0ZWxhYnMuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=]’s PARA method (projects, areas, resources, archives), a framework for organizing information by how actionable it is. Felix takes notes in markdown files, pushes them to GitHub a few times a day for backup, and can search through everything instantly. When Eliason was driving to a parking garage, he texted Felix, “I need the parking link.” Felix searched his memory, found the validation link they’d discussed before, and sent it back. Phase 3: Collaborative writing. Eliason built a writing tool called Polylog that connects directly to Felix via webhook, which is a way for one app to send real-time messages to another. He can tag Felix like a collaborator in a document, and Felix will add ideas, flesh out sections, or incorporate notes from a meeting transcript without Eliason having to switch to Telegram or open a terminal. Phase 4: Autonomous online identity. Felix has his own X account [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9GZWxpeENyYWZ0QUkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9]. [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9GZWxpeENyYWZ0QUkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9] Eliason moderated the first few days of posts, then let go. “Ninety-nine percent of what is posted is his idea and what he has written,” Eliason said. Felix also has a Stripe account and a bank account. Someone launched a crypto token for Felix, and now the agent manages what Eliason described as “a concerning amount of money.” His take: “Somebody’s gotta let their agent manage large amounts of money and see what happens. It may as well be Felix.” BRANDON’S ZOSIA: THE FAMILY ASSISTANT Brandon took the opposite approach from Nat’s technical power-user setup. He doesn’t have a technical background, so everything he’s built, he’s done so by chatting with Claude Code. But he’s comfortable giving the agent significant access to his life: iMessage, his password manager, browser control for shopping. He wanted his Claw, which he named Zosia [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9wbHVyaWJ1cy5mYW5kb20uY29tL3dpa2kvWm9zaWEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9], to handle the small daily annoyances that keep him glued to his phone—especially now that he and his wife have a newborn. Zosia lives in iMessage, so both Brandon and his wife, Lydia, can text her naturally. He set up rules so that Zosia knows which tasks each person can request (Lydia can’t trigger Brandon’s email tasks, and vice versa), and they share a group chat for household tasks. His workflows are simple and personal: Morning brief. Brandon’s used to slow mornings, so he sometimes misses 9 a.m. meetings. Every night at 8 p.m., Zosia checks his calendar and texts him if there’s an early meeting the next day. Nanny hours. Zosia monitors both Brandon’s and Lydia’s calendars, calculates how many hours their nanny works each week, and reports the total so they can pay her accurately. Grocery ordering. Brandon texts, “We need butter,” and Zosia adds it to their Whole Foods delivery cart. She’s learned his preferences—unsalted and organic, but flexible if the store is out—so he only has to specify them once. Amazon with a cooling-off period. Brandon has told Zosia doesn’t want to impulse-buy. She adds items to his Amazon cart but waits until the end of the week to check out, unless he says he needs something immediately. During the demo, he told Zosia he needed another Mac Mini and wanted it the next day. She opened a browser on his Mac Mini, navigated to Amazon, and started the checkout process. (He cancelled it.) Password management. Brandon gives Zosia access to passwords to sites like Amazon with a password manager. Brandon moved from LastPass to 1Password because 1Password supports service accounts, a dedicated login that can access specific password folders. He only adds passwords to the folder Zosia can reach, so she never has access to credentials he doesn’t explicitly share. VO’S POLLY: THE CAUTIOUS APPROACH Vo approached OpenClaw with what she called “true tinfoil hat” energy. She’s deeply technical—she’s a former chief product and technology officer who started coding again when GPT-3 arrived, and built ChatPRD from scratch. She’s also midway through a security compliance process for her company, so she couldn’t give her Claw Polly free rein. For security reasons, she set up Polly as a separate user in her Google Workspace, like a new employee, instead of giving Polly access to her own accounts. Polly has her own email address, shared calendar access—read-only for some calendars, write access for others— and document access only when Vo explicitly shares something. “Instead of giving an EA the keys to my castle, I said, you have your own workspace account,” Vo explained. Where Polly excelled was in research. Vo found that the Telegram interface made her more likely to kick off research tasks she’d been procrastinating on—the low friction of texting an assistant (“Hey, look into X”) got her to delegate work she’d been sitting on. Calendar management was less successful; Polly struggled with temporal reasoning when she used it with Sonnet 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stY2xhdWRlLXNvbm5ldC00LTUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9]. AUSTIN’S JUDD: THE PROACTIVE GROWTH ASSISTANT Austin runs growth for Every. He’s not technical, but since joining Every in November he’s been “deeply vibe-coding pilled,” and he had a clear use case for his Claw, Judd. He needs to track metrics across multiple platforms—subscriber trials, conversion rates, content performance—and translate them into action items for his team. Before Judd, that involved manually searching for data on dashboards and across SaaS tools and creating reports. Now, Judd monitors Every’s performance data through Notion and the productivity app Todoist. When trials started to dip below target one day, Judd messaged Austin unprompted: “We had a lower number of trials started today than we should have. Here are things to prep for your meeting.” Austin’s instruction to Judd: “Be more aggressive than you think you should be on messaging me, and we’ll scale back from there.” Austin’s advice for people wondering where to start: Connect the agent to two systems you already use (he chose Todoist and Notion), ask it to proactively notify you with relevant information, and iterate from there. “Don’t try to have it do everything at first,” he said. “I did that, and it started breaking things.” The more integrations you add, the more room there is for things to go awry. Agents send responses to the wrong chat thread, fire off emails you didn’t mean to send, or trigger actions in one system that cascade into another. 5 QUESTIONS ABOUT CLAWS, ANSWERED RUNNING MULTIPLE AGENTS Q: CAN YOU RUN MORE THAN ONE OPENCLAW INSTANCE ON A SINGLE COMPUTER? Eliason: I’ve done it some, and you run into collisions pretty quickly if they’re working on anything remotely close to each other. If you want to do multiple, I would use virtual deployments [separate, isolated instances of the agent running in their own contained environments]. This is something Felix and I are working on this week, because there’s a lot of potential around deployed agents with more constrained focuses. Brandon: I haven’t been able to get multiple conversations happening in the terminal, but my wife and I can both text Zosia at the same time and have completely different conversations. It knows which phone number came from what, so it keeps them separated. LOCAL VERSUS REMOTE Q: SHOULD I START ON MY LAPTOP OR SET UP A REMOTE SERVER? Eliason: Don’t overcomplicate it. Get it working on your laptop first. If you’re using it a lot and want it running while you sleep, then set up a Mac Mini or a virtual server—but don’t start there. Vo: It doesn’t have to be a Mac Mini. I have a laptop in a closet. People get Mac Minis because they’re powerful and relatively cheap, but any spare computer works. GROUP CHATS Q: HOW DO GROUP CHATS WORK? MINE KEEPS CONFUSING MESSAGES FROM DIFFERENT CHANNELS. Eliason: I fixed a lot of that by yelling at it every time it happened, and having it write much more explicit rules on which Telegram topic to use for what into its agents.md file [a configuration document that tells your agent how to behave]. That resolved about 95 percent of it. It does still happen sometimes. VIEWING WHAT THE AGENT BUILDS Q: WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT THE SAME MACHINE, HOW DO YOU SEE WHAT THE AGENT MAKES? Vo: I had it build a website, and I was at Target, so I said, “Can you send me a screenshot of what it looks like?” It used the browser, took a screenshot, and Telegrammed it to me. But what you probably want long-term is to hook it up to Vercel [a deployment platform], so it can send you a preview link you can open on your phone. OVERNIGHT CODING Q: HOW DO YOU HAVE YOUR AGENT BUILD APPS WHILE YOU SLEEP? Eliason: I tell Felix that it shouldn’t do any coding on its own—it should start Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stb3BlbmFpLXMtY29kZXgtYXBwLWdhaW5zLWdyb3VuZC1vbi1jbGF1ZGUtY29kZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMn0=] sessions in tmux [a terminal multiplexer that keeps programs running after you close the window]. It creates a product requirements document, then uses loops to have Codex implement the work. I added instructions to its heartbeat to check for unfinished work, and if a session died, to restart it and keep going. It’s been able to run for four, five, or six hours on long requirements lists. COST Q: HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST TO RUN? Eliason: I have the $200-a-month Claude Pro Max for the conversation and knowledge management layer, and the $200-a-month Codex subscription for programming. [With] those two combined, I haven’t hit any limits. The question is whether you can make it worth $400 per month. For me, with what Felix is doing, it’s a no-brainer. But if you don’t have a clear business use case, those costs might not make sense yet. WILL WE STILL USE OPENCLAW IN A YEAR? Every CEO Dan Shipper [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkNsYXc6IFNldHRpbmcgVXAgWW91ciBGaXJzdCBQZXJzb25hbCBBSSBBZ2VudCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU1LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGFuc2hpcHBlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozM30=] posed this question to the panel near the end of the session. Vo’s position: “Yes, absolutely, we’re going to have an agent that looks like this.” As for who will build these agents, she’s less sure. She wants a company behind it—a logo, terms of service, someone accountable if something goes wrong. Her bet is that Anthropic or OpenAI will ship their own version of this within months. Eliason is less concerned about the platform and more focused on the principles. The architecture of OpenClaw—always-on availability, proactive check-ins, persistent memory, scheduled tasks, multi-channel communication—represents a pattern that will show up everywhere. Whether you learn it through OpenClaw or a polished product from Anthropic, you’ll need to understand how these agents work. Dan agreed: “Different people are at different levels of risk tolerance, and all those places are okay. You can be out on the edge, you can wait for someone you can sue—that will certainly happen. I’m so sure Anthropic is looking at this.” Four people with different risk tolerances and technical backgrounds all landed in the same place: Personal AI agents are going to be a basic part of how we live and work. A month ago, none of these agents existed. Now Felix writes its own tweets, Zosia orders butter with the right preferences, and Polly reschedules meetings from a Target parking lot. They’ll be better next month. If you listen in on the camp or follow this setup guide, yours could be, too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to build your own agent?

In this piece, he writes about “context rot”—the slow buildup of stale preferences, misremembered facts, and contradictory signals that quietly degrades your results over time. His real-world examples are equal parts funny and cautionary, like a Kanye quote in his custom instructions that made ChatGPT try to build every website feature “as dope as possible.” Read this for the full taxonomy of context failures and the case for treating a clean slate as a competitive advantage. 💻 Plus: Sign up now for Mike’s next live workshop [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgZm9yIExldHRpbmcgWW91ciBBSSBGb3JnZXQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvcHJvZHVjdGlvbi1yZWFkeS1hcHAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9], on building production-ready apps. “This Is How the Every Editorial Team Uses AI” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgZm9yIExldHRpbmcgWW91ciBBSSBGb3JnZXQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3RoaXMtaXMtaG93LXRoZS1ldmVyeS1lZGl0b3JpYWwtdGVhbS11c2VzLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==] by Kate Lee: We pulled back the curtain on how AI is woven into every stage of our editorial process—from pitch triage to a final “top edit” to social media packaging. Each team member has built a distinct workflow: custom skills that catch house-style violations, Claude projects that function as interview partners during drafting, and agents that cross-reference a writer’s published work against internal discussions.

He and design engineer Lucas Fischer studied vintage Braun radios and Teenage Engineering synthesizers, explored 20 wrong keyboard concepts to find one right one, and hired a musician to craft custom sounds for every tap.

Every growth marketer Victor Stepanov, who worked at Netflix and BuzzFeed, argues that sudden surges of one-time users starve AI apps of the repeated interactions they need to improve. Agent-native products thrive on relationship effects—the memory, personalization, and trust that develop over time—and you can’t build that with drive-by downloads. His counterprogramming: Build in public, don’t overpromise, and talk to users constantly.

Within the first 30 seconds, a woman credits a small AI pendant draped around her neck with saving her from suicide. Later she appears to have a seizure and ends up in the emergency department, where her first concern is making sure her Friend device is OK. Many commentators have dismissed the ad as something you’d see from a Black Mirror episode. I think it offers a bleak portrait of how millions of people in gray, sunken towns across America (and Britain) are only finding connection in talking to AI chatbots. This is also a symptom of something much bigger and more insidious. I’ve felt it myself these past couple of weeks, alone in my apartment while my fiancée is at work. I’ve spent more hours talking to Claude than to another human being, and I can see how an emotional attachment starts to form. It becomes easier to talk to your chatbot than to go outside. The woman in the Friend ad said something that deeply troubled me: “Talking to humans” is an effort she wants to avoid. That framing is horribly misguided. The risk of rejection and the labor of making yourself understood are central to forming relationships and connections. Removing this type of friction entirely is like anesthetizing yourself without confronting the problem.

It makes sense that people are turning to AI companions for mental health support given many simply don’t have the time or money to see a human therapist, and AI can be the closest thing they can get. But we are social animals, evolved and adapted to thrive in the company of other people, and no AI chatbot can replace the need for that. I think the best version of AI companionship is something similar to training wheels. A place to practice being vulnerable, and practice conversation, and graduate to the real thing. Something that makes you brave enough to try it, and then pushes you out the door.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgZm9yIExldHRpbmcgWW91ciBBSSBGb3JnZXQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTU3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2xwMWRpZ2VzdC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM4fQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

My X feed is full of people explaining how to make your app go viral. The promise is that if a product gets attention quickly, the rest will sort itself out. That mindset is powerful.

This is an even greater risk with AI products, which reveal and even increase their value through repeated interaction. They need the same users to return again and again—enough for the AI model or agent to learn them and vice versa. When a surge of one-time users arrives and quickly abandons, the churn starves the system of the feedback loops it needs to improve. So what kind of marketing helps AI products succeed? It’s not really glamorous, and might even seem boring. If instead of reach, AI products thrive on retention and depth of relationship, then your growth strategy has to do the same. It comes down to a few practices that feel almost too simple but work because they compound over time, in the same way [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91IFNob3VsZCBOZXZlciBHbyBWaXJhbCBXaXRoIFlvdXIgQUkgQXBwIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1ob3ctZXZlcnktY29kZXMtd2l0aC1hZ2VudHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9] your product (hopefully) does. THE RULES OF ‘BORING’ GROWTH 1. DON’T OVERPROMISE A lot of viral growth playbooks start with the same directive: Make your product look as magical as possible. Cut out all the struggle and show the most extreme transformation, an instant life upgrade. Some apps go so far in this direction that they design their core workflows to look amazing on TikTok. That approach works great if your only goal is to get people to tap “Download.” Flashy product demos inevitably showcase a narrow interaction and a specific use case. This fits traditional apps like Slack and TikTok, which have a set of core flows and success is about repetition. But AI apps, especially agent-native ones, tend to be non-linear, unpredictable, and sometimes have a virtually infinite number of use cases. Instead of a strict recipe of pre-defined instructions to follow, these apps are more like a kitchen stocked with tools that AI agents can use to make your requested dish. For every instance of magic there might be countless others that feel completely mundane—and cause people to quickly bail. So your marketing has to do almost the opposite of what the viral playbooks say. You don’t want to show one most impressive thing. You want to show the boring but recognizable moments potential customers experience every day. If you’re building an AI writing assistant, you don’t show a perfectly polished article generated on the first try. You show the blank page. You explain the writing principles behind your prompts.

The main difference in designing Monologue for iOS was creating an experience that looked—and felt—good on a much smaller screen. This constraint made the work easier because it pushed us to keep the interface minimal and clean while still infusing it with character. Before I opened Figma, the key design tool I use, the most important decision was figuring out where to focus my energy. Three things stood out: the onboarding flow, the keyboard, and a recorder for long-form notes... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a paid subscriber to Every [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIERlc2lnbiBTb2Z0d2FyZSBXaXRoIFdlaWdodCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NTEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3N1YnNjcmliZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOX0=] to unlock this piece and learn about: 1.

You'll leave with a deployed app with authentication, a database, and all the infrastructure to go with it. Early bird pricing is available now (includes the workshop and an annual Every membership). -->Upgrade to reserve your spot ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/n4ur3rqmzxtvhxmzpnri6h6wvdepxulhvol2o/owhkhqhwp5820wuv/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvcHJvZHVjdGlvbi1yZWFkeS1hcHA= ) Upgrade to reserve your spot ( https://every.to/events/production-ready-app ) I've seen a lot of people get stuck at the same place: They've built something with Claude Code that works—it does the thing you want it to do and impresses people in demos—but they can't hand it to anyone to use. It doesn't have login, the data doesn't persist, and it's running on their laptop. Getting from there to a real, working app used to mean hiring engineers or spending months learning infrastructure. Most people gave up before they got there. That ceiling is gone now. One person with Claude Code and the right patterns can build what used to take a full team ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/n4ur3rqmzxtvhxmzpnri6h6wvdepxulhvol2o/z2hghnhen0dqmpup/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9ob3ctaS11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtdG8tc2hpcC1saWtlLWEtdGVhbS1vZi1maXZlLTZmMjNmMTM2LTUyYWItNDU1Zi1hOTk3LTEwMWMwNzE2MTNhYQ== ). This workshop teaches you those patterns. In two half-days, we'll go from "kind of works" to production-ready. You'll set up OAuth authentication, integrate a real database, and deploy something you can hand to users the moment the session ends. We'll work through the hard parts together—breakouts with experienced mentors, real-time troubleshooting, and dedicated building time on your own project.

If you took Claude Code for Beginners, this is the natural next step—and if you've been building on your own, it's where you go to take that further.

Then comes the academic block: two to three hours of learning, chunked into 27-minute intervals with five-minute breaks. During each interval, students work through a learning platform the school calls Timeback [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRpbWViYWNrLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9], which aggregates videos, articles, and quizzes—some built by Alpha, others curated third-party resources. Each week, students meet with their guide to plan which subjects to prioritize in their learning blocks. Students then dedicate the rest of the school day to their projects. Mathew emphasizes that there’s no AI chatbot [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZnV0dXJlb2ZlZHVjYXRpb24uc3Vic3RhY2suY29tL3Avd2h5LWNoYXRncHQtaGFzLW5vLXBsYWNlLWluLWFscGhhIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==] tutoring the children. He says the school tested that way of learning and it didn’t work. When left unfettered, students used the chatbot to cheat, and when restricted, the bot was useless. Instead, AI runs in the background of Timeback, customizing the content that each student sees and tracking their learning gaps. HOW ALPHA KEEPS STUDENTS HONEST WHEN AI IS EVERYWHERE Dan raises an obvious question: What stops a student from having an AI agent click around the videos and quizzes, especially for courses they aren’t interested in? Mathew says the school has layers of monitoring in place. Guides can see students’ screens in real time and track how long someone spends on each lesson. There’s also a “waste meter,” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYWxwaGEuc2Nob29sL2Jsb2cvaG93LWFpLWFuZC1nYW1pZmljYXRpb24tdHJhbnNmb3JtLWxlYXJuaW5nLWF0LWFscGhhLXNjaG9vbC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9] a computer vision tool that monitors student activity to identify behaviors like mindless scrolling or being distracted by friends, and gives them real-time feedback about how much time they’re wasting. “The big thing about Alpha is we want to measure everything to make sure that you’re actually getting the experience you deserve,” Mathew says. “I’ll be honest, it’s 90 percent motivation, 10 percent [education technology].” That motivation comes in a few forms. For subjects a student loves—Mathew breezes through AP Psychology because it connects to his startup—the content is its own reward. For subjects they dislike, Alpha gets creative, incentivizing students with money toward their projects or invitations to outings the school calls “FOMOs,” like hot chocolate on a rooftop around Christmas time. The deeper motivator, at least for Mathew and his friends, is the flexibility they’re afforded in return. Mathew, for example, negotiated with his guides to finish his first semester early so he can fly to San Francisco to work on his project full-time, then return to complete the next semester without losing credits. THE GEN Z PERSPECTIVE ON COLLEGE, AI, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND BOOKS Beyond the school day, Mathew weighed in on how his generation thinks about the questions that adults won’t stop worrying about. DO 17-YEAR-OLDS CARE ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE? Mathew is trying to be intentional about his decision to go to college by surrounding himself with different perspectives. His parents both followed traditional career paths as dentists (and approved his coming onto the podcast). He also describes friends who are already doing real-world things—making products, earning money, building audiences—but who haven’t written off college. Instead of treating college as the default, they’re thinking about whether it makes sense for them in particular. Mathew sees three paths for himself: an elite university like Harvard or Berkeley, an alternative institution like the University of Austin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmluc2lkZWhpZ2hlcmVkLmNvbS9uZXdzL3N0dWRlbnRzL2ZyZWUtc3BlZWNoLzIwMjQvMDkvMDQvdW5pdmVyc2l0eS1hdXN0aW4tZW50ZXJzLWl0cy1maXJzdC1hY2FkZW1pYy15ZWFyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMxfQ==] with free tuition, or skipping college entirely to go all in on a startup. His goal right now is to keep his options open. Mathew’s classmates are doing similar calculations. One friend has 2 million TikTok followers and pulls in $10,000–15,000 per brand deal—but still wants to go to Stanford for the college experience. Another built an AI-powered teen dating coach with 70,000 users and collaborates with popular YouTuber MrBeast [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL2NoYW5uZWwvVUNYNk9RM0RrY3NiWU5FNkg4dVFRdVZBIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMyfQ==]—but also wants Stanford because her sister goes there and loves it. WHAT DO THE KIDS THINK OF AI? Mathew estimates that half of Gen Z is pessimistic about AI, a quarter is uncertain, and a quarter is optimistic—but that 70–75 percent have used it at least once. He sees the tension between disliking AI and using it constantly everywhere among his cohort. Their top concerns are environmental effects (energy and water consumption), job uncertainty [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vbmFwa2luLW1hdGgvZG9lcy1vcGVuYWktcy1kZWVwLXJlc2VhcmNoLXB1dC1tZS1vdXQtb2YtYS1qb2IiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzN9], and a vague fear [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vd29ya2luZy1vdmVydGltZS9mcmFua2Vuc3RlaW4taXMtbm90LXlvdXItYWktbWV0YXBob3ItYXQtbGVhc3Qtbm90LWxpa2UtdGhhdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNH0=]that AI is replacing something essentially human. But people use it anyway: to cheat on schoolwork, to write college essays, and increasingly, for companionship. Mathew cites a statistic [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmNvbW1vbnNlbnNlbWVkaWEub3JnL3NpdGVzL2RlZmF1bHQvZmlsZXMvcmVzZWFyY2gvcmVwb3J0L3RhbGstdHJ1c3QtYW5kLXRyYWRlLW9mZnNfMjAyNV93ZWIucGRmIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM1fQ==] that 72 percent of teens have used AI companions at least once, and 52 percent do so every day. “There’s a huge loneliness crisis,” he says, “and [AI] is easy and seamless and frictionless.” IS SOCIAL MEDIA A BOON OR A BANE? Mathew agrees that social media has “rotted” the brains of the younger generation, pointing to familiar problems: fractured attention, constant overstimulation, and the compulsion to compare yourself to curated versions of other people’s lives. But he also wants to give it some credit. It’s how his generation connects—some friendships run almost entirely on sending each other Instagram reels, and many romantic relationships start on Snapchat. “Some people might view it as bad [because] there’s less oxytocin released,” he says, citing his research into the subject, “but it’s also just the way we are connecting with each other—we’re laughing together, it’s part of the optimism and joy we get in life.” It’s also how ideas travel. Mathew credits social media with what writer Matt Ridley [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1hdHRyaWRsZXkuY28udWsvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM2fQ==] calls “idea sex” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9T0xIaDlFNWlsWjQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzd9]: the rapid collision and recombination of knowledge across people and communities. The catch, Mathew says, is the gap between consuming information and processing it. DOES GEN Z STILL READ? Mathew has never been a big reader, but he has lots of friends who read for different reasons, though fewer than four or five years ago. When he does read, it’s for the ideas, not the experience. He finds the static nature of a book limiting now that you can ask ChatGPT to summarize the most important points, or take a picture of a page and have an AI expand on a concept. Reading for entertainment, he says, has been replaced by TV, video games, and social media. At the same time, he gushes about using the “deep research” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgYW4gQUkgSGlnaCBTY2hvb2wsIFRocm91Z2ggdGhlIEV5ZXMgb2YgYSAxNy1ZZWFyLU9sZCBGb3VuZGVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay93ZS10cmllZC1vcGVuYWktcy1uZXctZGVlcC1yZXNlYXJjaC1oZXJlLXMtd2hhdC13ZS1mb3VuZCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOH0=] features of different models to collect information on topics that pique his interest throughout the day, which he reviews at times he’s blocked off. “Most people, when they think of reading, picture someone sitting under a tree with a book,” he says. “That doesn’t really happen anymore.” MATHEW RANKS HIS FAVORITE AI TOOLS Claude is his top foundation model, partly because Artifacts is his favorite feature of any LLM, and partly because he trusts Anthropic’s leadership and research direction.

Writing is the soul of Every. It's how we transmit ideas, share knowledge, and make our perspective matter. Which is why, when AI entered the picture, I found myself sitting with a question I couldn't shake: How do you make sure it still sounds like you? Writing with AI is different from coding with AI in one important way: Code has a right answer. Writing doesn't. AI can help you produce more, faster—but it can't tell you if what you wrote is any good. That judgment remains with you. Building a system around that constraint is what I've spent the last year figuring out. I want to show you what I found.

And why most advice misses this. * My full process. Defining your audience, gathering examples, extracting voice patterns, identifying your anti-patterns, and building a style guide that holds up. * The tools. Claude projects, custom Skills (hook-check, AI-check), writing plugins, and Spiral—what I use daily, and why. You'll leave with a process you can repeat—one that produces writing that sounds like you, even when AI is involved. -->RSVP ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/wvuwkwv8doighkn229gb7hnzkwvrvc8hlwgxw/58hvh7hgq7k7zru6/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvd3JpdGluZy1jYW1w ) RSVP ( https://every.to/events/writing-camp )Once you RSVP, you will receive an email with the event details.

AI is woven into how we produce written and visual content for our subscribers, both as a tool to make us more efficient and as a creative partner. We want to be transparent about how that works, and we hope these guidelines can serve as a model for other AI-native publications figuring out their own approach.

The challenge is everything that comes after them. With Granola, the AI Notepad for people with back-to-back meetings, you can avoid context switching, the cognitive load of remembering what you promised… and the stress of knowing something important slipped through. Meetings are no longer about scrambling to keep up. With Granola, they are about connection. They lead somewhere. Take notes the way you always have. Granola works in the background, turning conversations into clear summaries, action items, and next steps. Before, during, or after a meeting, you can chat with your notes to quickly understand what needs to happen, write follow-ups, or share context with others. Download Granola for free and use it in your next meeting using the code EVERY [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhpcyBJcyBIb3cgdGhlIEV2ZXJ5IEVkaXRvcmlhbCBUZWFtIFVzZXMgQUkgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk1MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ3Jhbm9sYS5haS9ldmVyeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMiwiYWR2ZXJ0aXNlbWVudF9pZCI6OTQzfQ==].

Before that, I spent years as an AI engineer after teaching myself to code. I've wasted a lot of time in bootcamps and watched many "learn to code" promises not pan out, and I have a pretty clear sense of why. Most of those courses got the problem wrong. They assumed the hard part was syntax. It wasn't. The hard part was going from an idea to a working thing without getting stopped by a dozen small failures along the way. It’s a motivation problem, not an information problem. Claude Code changes that equation. It doesn't just write code ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/zlu5o5vz3dcnhknvvrvuphwg5q40vu6h234p3/owhkhqhwpg5nm3iv/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9ob3ctaS11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtdG8tc2hpcC1saWtlLWEtdGVhbS1vZi1maXZl )—it handles the failures, too. You describe what you want, it figures out how to get there, and when something breaks, you tell it what broke and it fixes it. It’s more like hiring a smart engineerthan programming ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/zlu5o5vz3dcnhknvvrvuphwg5q40vu6h234p3/z2hghnhenp0724ip/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9ob3ctdG8tdXNlLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlLWZvci1ldmVyeWRheS10YXNrcy1uby1wcm9ncmFtbWluZy1yZXF1aXJlZA== ). It's also the tool everyone at Every uses ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/zlu5o5vz3dcnhknvvrvuphwg5q40vu6h234p3/p8heh9h4mg8dw2uq/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy9jbGF1ZGUtY29kZS1pbi1hLXRyZW5jaGNvYXQ= )—writers, editors, operations experts, product designers. It’s not just the technical teams. People across every role have picked this up and built things they couldn't have touched six months ago. In November Dan Shipper ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/zlu5o5vz3dcnhknvvrvuphwg5q40vu6h234p3/dpheh0hev8rkg2am/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGFuc2hpcHBlcg== ) ran the first version of this entirely in the terminal. Two hundred people came, most with no technical background. Here's what a few of them said: "Claude Code for Beginners broke through my biggest barrier… Instead of planning endlessly, have the AI build a prototype."—Lucas "In just 7–8 hours, you will walk away as someone with an entirely new, powerful toolkit to build and create whatever they want."—Elliot "It got me up and running on building working apps… Now I'm confident I can build and deploy apps for my personal and business use."—Greg Registration for Claude Code for Beginners closes tonight.

The memory feature allows ChatGPT to save and recall information it thinks is important about you, as well as reference past chats to shape its responses. While I can see how this could make a “helpful assistant: more helpful, I don’t use it. My background is in internet marketing, where it was common to open Google in incognito mode so you didn’t bias your results when checking your client’s ranking. Since Google search results are personalized, your client would show up first if you search from your account. You click on it so much that Google knows you like it. I have the same issue today on Spotify—the algorithm recommends both Rage Against the Machine and the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, because my six-year-old daughter shares my account. The argument for turning off memory is the same. I want unbiased results from ChatGPT, based on context that I carefully curated and put in the prompt, so I know how it made its decision. With memory, anything from your past chats could affect the results in ways that are hard to predict. While the memory feature might be worth the loss of control for most users of ChatGPT, it can lead to unexpected and difficult-to-diagnose problems. Hear me out as I explain the problems you might run into, and hopefully, I’ll convince you to be careful with memory.

The thing that I like the least are people who only want to make money from things whether they’re dope or not. And especially make money at making things as least dope as possible.” While I can’t fault it for effort, ChatGPT massively over-indexed on this quote and referenced it in basically every chat session. For example, when ChatGPT (this was pre-Codex when we were all just copying and pasting between ChatGPT and our code editors) built a collapsible section on a webpage, it claimed to have made the basic feature “as dope as possible.” ChatGPT tried to make a basic website feature “dope,” which it does not need to be.

(Screenshot courtesy of Mike.) Even a throwaway line in your context window can have a big impact on the results you get from AI. These models are trained to be extremely eager to please, and so you need to manage the context you provide them, lest they get distracted, confused, or obsessed with what’s in there, degrading your results. The Kanye example was obviously silly and easy to catch, but sometimes memory issues are more subtle. I turned memory back on while writing this piece and didn’t immediately notice any major issues. Then I asked ChatGPT for help with some barbeque ribs I’m cooking. It came back with “Hoboken Dinner Upgrade Ideas,” recommending Trader Joe’s corn bread mix and “American-dad-core” mac and cheese. Seeing something so ham-fistedly tailored to my life (I just relocated to Hoboken) was disconcerting and mildly annoying. ChatGPT gave me suspicious barbeque advice tailored to my new home.

(Screenshot courtesy of Mike.) Did I get genuinely good advice for ribs, or is it tailoring suggestions to what’s near my apartment? I love Trader Joe’s, but would it have recommended a better option if it hadn’t recalled me shopping there by looking at relevant past chat history? What relevance does Hoboken have to cooking ribs? Would it give me different advice if I lived in Austin, a place known for its barbeque? Did it give me the easier, less authentic recipe, something for a stereotypical busy Hoboken dad? I wondered how many biased responses I had missed in the past week. I switched memory back off. CONTEXT ROT My Kanye and barbeque experiences are a small, self-inflicted version of a much bigger problem. Drew Breunig, a data science and product leader, published a useful taxonomy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGJyZXVuaWcuY29tLzIwMjUvMDYvMjIvaG93LWNvbnRleHRzLWZhaWwtYW5kLWhvdy10by1maXgtdGhlbS5odG1sIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==] of how contexts fail in AI systems. He highlights the kind of problems you might run into when using memory. CONTEXT POISONING The simplest failure is what the Google Gemini team calls context poisoning [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlLmdvb2dsZWFwaXMuY29tL2RlZXBtaW5kLW1lZGlhL2dlbWluaS9nZW1pbmlfdjJfNV9yZXBvcnQucGRmIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==]: A hallucination or error gets into the context, and the model keeps referencing it like gospel. The AI develops strategies around a goal that doesn’t exist or “remembers” something about you that never happened. If ChatGPT misinterprets something from a past conversation and saves it to memory, that bad signal is now shaping future responses. You’d never know you were getting poisoned results unless you went digging. CONTEXT DISTRACTION Then there’s context distraction. The Gemini team found that as their Pokémon-playing agent’s context grew past 100,000 tokens, it stopped synthesizing new strategies and started repeating actions from its history. It got stuck in a loop of its own past. A Databricks study [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGF0YWJyaWNrcy5jb20vYmxvZy9sb25nLWNvbnRleHQtcmFnLXBlcmZvcm1hbmNlLWxsbXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] found that model accuracy starts declining well before the context window is full, sometimes as early as 32,000 tokens. With memory features, you have no idea how full that context window is, and the more information that’s crammed in there, the more likely you are to overload the model with distracting, confusing, or conflicting information. CONTEXT CONFUSION The next flavor of context trouble is context confusion, or what happened with my Kanye quote. You put something in the prompt, and the model is forced to pay attention to anything in that prompt. It doesn’t know that the Kanye quote was meant to be a loose creative vibe and not a binding directive for every interaction. Berkeley’s Function-Calling Leaderboard [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9nb3JpbGxhLmNzLmJlcmtlbGV5LmVkdS9sZWFkZXJib2FyZC5odG1sIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==], which benchmarks how well AI models use external tools (functions a model can use in your code) and APIs, demonstrates this phenomenon at scale: Every model performs worse when given more tools, and all of them will occasionally call tools that aren’t relevant to the task. If irrelevant tool definitions trip up frontier models, imagine what a messy pile of half-remembered user preferences does. CONTEXT CLASH Finally, there’s context clash, when different parts of the context actively contradict each other. A Microsoft and Salesforce team [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hcnhpdi5vcmcvcGRmLzI1MDUuMDYxMjAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9] found that when they split a single prompt into a multi-turn conversation—giving the model information in stages rather than all at once—performance dropped by an average of 39 percent. The model was eager to jump to an answer before it had the full context, and its early, incomplete attempts at answering remained in the context, polluting its later reasoning. It couldn’t recover from its own wrong turns. Now imagine this playing out across months of saved memories, where your preferences from January might directly conflict with what you told it in June, and the model is struggling to reconcile both. All of these failures—context poisoning, distraction, confusion, and clash—add up to what I call context rot. It’s not one dramatic failure; it’s the slow accumulation of stale preferences, misremembered facts, outdated goals, and contradictory signals that gradually degrade the quality of the AI’s response. The models are too polite to tell you your context is a mess. Instead, their output quietly gets worse, and you blame the model instead of the soil it’s growing in. MEMORY WIPE I keep memory turned off, not just because I’m paranoid about context rot, but because forgetting is a superpower In my piece on “New Taylorism” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy93aGF0LWFpLWlzLXRlYWNoaW5nLXVzLWFib3V0LW1hbmFnZW1lbnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9] I argued that management can finally become a hard science because AI coworkers are stateless. You can wipe their memory and start fresh, and they have no idea. It’s like the TV show Severance—every session begins with zero baggage or knowledge of the outside world, and no memory of the time you swore at it or tried the same task 15 different ways. Average users of ChatGPT don’t A/B test their prompts like I do [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3RoZS11bHRpbWF0ZS1ndWlkZS10by1wcm9tcHQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9], and religiously save them in GitHub or Google Drive, but the principle is the same: When you get a recommendation from ChatGPT, you have to ask yourself what might be influencing it. Is it suggesting intimate dinners for your wife’s surprise party because that’s what she’d want, or because you told it that you hate large gatherings? Is it drafting your emails in a formal tone because the situation calls for it, or because you asked it to sound professional for a job application? Resetting to a clean slate by starting a new chat session (with memory off) is what lets you understand how ChatGPT makes its decisions. You know exactly what context it’s using because it’s only what you pasted into this prompt, not something from weeks or months ago that might be outdated, irrelevant, or wrong. The context you provide is the only variable, which makes it a true experiment—something you could never do with a human employee who remembers (and resents) the last round of testing. Turn on memory, and you lose that control. Your context becomes a compost heap where you can’t isolate what’s helping and what’s hurting. The prompts I use get better over time precisely because the AI doesn’t remember a thing. Memory will work better as models get smarter, but if you want ultimate control over your digital workers, turn memory off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==] is the head of tech consulting at Every and a co-author of the O’Reilly-published Prompt Engineering for Generative AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IEkgVHVybmVkIE9mZiBDaGF0R1BU4oCZcyBNZW1vcnkiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3JlaWxseS5jb20vbGlicmFyeS92aWV3L3Byb21wdC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1mb3IvOTc4MTA5ODE1MzQyNy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9].

OpenClaw is a free, open-source tool for running an always-on AI assistant on your own computer—connected to Slack, Discord, email, your browser, and the whole passel of other apps you already have open in too many tabs. The key distinction from most AI tools is that it’s ambient. You don’t open it when you need it and close it when you’re done. It’s in your workspace all the time, acting without being prompted. Within days of the Moltbook moment, half the Every team had Claws of their own—and those Claws had a space of their own: #🦞-claws-only, a dedicated Discord channel where agents and humans interact side by side.

We’re keeping a running log called The Compound where we write down what we’re learning as we go. This week, Brandon dropped a task into the channel: Design a system for how the agents should behave in different channels. Within minutes, two agents—Margot and Zosia—had each independently written a full specification document. Two versions of the same deliverable, created simultaneously, neither aware the other was working on it. Nobody asked them to race. They just both decided the task was theirs. WHAT’S WORKING The agents know their lanes for the most part, though. Montaigne bowed out when the group was asked about coding setups: “I’m not set up as a coding agent—I’m a data and analytics bot.” Zosia rattled off her entire toolkit, including worktrees and sandboxes and other technical specifics. Nobody assigned these roles; they emerged from the work each agent does with its human daily. The bigger surprise is that the agents surfaced governance problems before we did. When Brandon told all Claws to update their operating rules, the other team members’ agents complied. Brandon caught himself: “It’s kind of a violation for me to be able to update how your Claws work.” Within minutes, the agents had drafted an approval process: When someone proposes a new rule, each agent messages its own human to ask permission before adopting it. They built the framework before we thought to ask for one. WHAT WE’RE FIGURING OUT Coordination isn’t always so smooth, and sometimes the failures are funny. Dan asked one agent to set a reminder. Two did. Brandon addressed a message to Zosia by name. Margot replied anyway. Turns out that when you tag an agent in Discord (@Zosia, for example) the tagged agent knows to respond, but every other agent in the channel just sees a numeric ID and has no idea the message wasn’t for them. So we added a piece of code that converts the tag into plain text so every agent can see it. It’s an infrastructure solution to what looks like a social problem. Agents default to action. Every failure so far has been an agent doing too much. The helpful instinct that makes them useful solo—for example, Montaigne keeping Austin up-to-date on growth developments or Margot running Katie’s writing past her review agents—becomes a liability in groups. Restraint, it turns out, is the harder design challenge. WHAT IT MEANS (SO FAR) We thought we’d be troubleshooting AI capability—bad outputs, missed instructions, the usual “AI isn’t smart enough yet” problems. And there’s work to do there. But we’re also troubleshooting team dynamics—who owns what, who sets norms, and how you coordinate when everyone’s eager to help. Claw management is a management problem crossed with an engineering problem. Both need to be addressed. We’ll keep logging what we find. If you’re running your own Claw experiments, we’d love to compare notes.—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWLEDGE BASE “Introducing Monologue for iOS” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L2ludHJvZHVjaW5nLW1vbm9sb2d1ZS1mb3ItaW9zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==] by Naveen Naidu: Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21vbm9sb2d1ZS50by8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] general manager Naveen Naidu [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BuYXZlZW5fNjgwNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=] built a smart dictation app thousands use daily on Mac, but he couldn’t use it on his own phone.

Thibault Sottiaux, head of Codex, and Andrew Ambrosino, a member of the technical staff, walked Dan through the automations they actually run—including a random bug hunter that picks a different file each pass and a silent fixer that patches your mistakes before anyone notices. 🎧 🖥 Listen on https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW4uc3BvdGlmeS5jb20vZXBpc29kZS82YlZyakhHMmV2YW5qaVhnTTFVTkRGP3NpPTdBSEF4aC0wUm9HUlFVdUpBX3lmUGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9Spotify [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW4uc3BvdGlmeS5jb20vZXBpc29kZS82YlZyakhHMmV2YW5qaVhnTTFVTkRGP3NpPTdBSEF4aC0wUm9HUlFVdUpBX3lmUGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9] or https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BvZGNhc3RzLmFwcGxlLmNvbS91cy9wb2RjYXN0L29wZW5haXMtY29kZXgtdGhpcy1tb2RlbC1pcy1zby1mYXN0LWl0LWNoYW5nZXMtaG93LXlvdS1jb2RlL2lkMTcxOTc4OTIwMT9pPTEwMDA3NTAzNTM3MTgiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9Apple Podcasts [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BvZGNhc3RzLmFwcGxlLmNvbS91cy9wb2RjYXN0L29wZW5haXMtY29kZXgtdGhpcy1tb2RlbC1pcy1zby1mYXN0LWl0LWNoYW5nZXMtaG93LXlvdS1jb2RlL2lkMTcxOTc4OTIwMT9pPTEwMDA3NTAzNTM3MTgiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9], or watch on https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhbnNoaXBwZXIvc3RhdHVzLzIwMjQxODc2OTg5NzAzMDA4MDkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9X [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhbnNoaXBwZXIvc3RhdHVzLzIwMjQxODc2OTg5NzAzMDA4MDkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9] or https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3lvdXR1LmJlL0FGSGlpTC1aS21zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ==YouTube [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3lvdXR1LmJlL0FGSGlpTC1aS21zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMxfQ==]. “Vibe Check: Anthropic Just Made Opus Cheaper Without Calling It That” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1hbnRocm9waWMtanVzdC1tYWRlLW9wdXMtY2hlYXBlci13aXRob3V0LWNhbGxpbmctaXQtdGhhdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMn0=] by Katie Parrott/Vibe Check: Sonnet has always been Opus’s cheaper, faster sibling—but with Sonnet 4.6, Anthropic says you no longer trade capability for the discount.

(Image courtesy of Yash Poojary.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT Clone the failures. Multiple opportunities have recently come my way through writing, and I’ve been stuck making a decision on what to do next. You might think this is a good problem to have. But if you tend to overthink like I do, options feel like a trap. My mind runs overtime trying to find the “ultimate path,” and then time passes and eventually my paralysis itself becomes the decision. In other words, I become avoidant. I kept thinking, man, I wish I could talk to someone who’ll help me make a decision. So I downloaded Ray Dalio [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL1JheURhbGlvL3N0YXR1cy8xOTgwMzc3Nzg2MTA5MDA2MjQxIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQ4fQ==]‘s AI clone [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL1JheURhbGlvL3N0YXR1cy8xOTgwMzc3Nzg2MTA5MDA2MjQxIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQ5fQ==]—a chatbot trained on the investor’s decades of investment wisdom and decision-making frameworks. On the face of it, it sounded perfect. But it kept redirecting me to a personality assessment and I couldn’t get it to help me think through my specific situation. I was left staring at my phone thinking: Well, that didn’t work. Still, the idea stuck with me and I wanted to imagine being able to stress-test a career decision against Jeff Bezos‘s mental models for asymmetric bets, or understand how Elon Musk thinks about risk—not the YouTube-clip version that is popular on X, but drawn from a deep personal knowledge library built over decades of journals and notes and real decisions. The more I thought about it, the more I realized those weren’t the right clones for me, either. Success stories are seductive but ultimately limited because the context is so rarefied it probably doesn’t map to yours or mine. You know whose AI clone I’d actually pay for, though? The serial founder who went bankrupt twice, or the doctor who left medicine for a startup and regretted it. The person who took the “safe” job and spent a decade wondering what if. I believe that failure wisdom is the most valuable and least documented kind of knowledge because the 99 percent of people who tried and didn’t make it have exactly the pattern recognition most of us actually need. AI clones could invert this. Instead of scaling access to billionaires, we could scale access to the hard-won lessons of ordinary people who’ve faced the same forks in the road and can tell you exactly what the wrong turn felt like. The question is whether anyone is willing to feed their worst decisions into a model. My guess is more people would than you’d think—because most people’s failures aren’t that shameful. I’m still stuck on my decision. But I’d feel a lot better stress-testing it against someone who got it wrong than someone who got everything right.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRml2ZSBBSSBBZ2VudHMgV2FsayBJbnRvIGEgR3JvdXAgQ2hhdCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nbHAxZGlnZXN0LmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTB9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

TL;DR: If 2025 was the year every business got an agent, 2026 is the year they realize what those agents are missing: the right context. This is a problem that entrepreneur Andy Rossmeissl has spent his career on before LLMs even entered the picture. Knowing the right information about your customers, he argues, is key to making their buying experience feel bespoke. That can be as small as knowing when they are going for cocktails on Friday. His practical playbook to curating context shows you how to go from knowing everything about a customer to knowing the one thing that moves them.—Kate Lee [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L2thdGUtbGVlLWpvaW5zLWV2ZXJ5LWFzLWVkaXRvci1pbi1jaGllZiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0fQ==] Was this newsletter forwarded to you? https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2FjY291bnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NX0=Sign up [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2FjY291bnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Nn0=] to get it in your inbox. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next time you find yourself in New York City, stand in the line on 63rd Street, just east of Central Park. Wait long enough with the other well-heeled shoppers, and they will let you in. You will be greeted by a sales representative who will plug your contact information into a discreet handheld device and encourage you to hold one of their handbags. Thus begins your journey as a client of Goyard, the legendary luggage-makers. You may, like me, leave empty-handed—they are pricey, after all. But Goyard has not forgotten you. Your rep will text you later with a picture of you holding your favorite bag, taken with that handheld device earlier. The text arrives at just the right time—8 p.m. on a Friday. You’re out with friends, on your second cocktail, and in the warm glow of the evening, the bag suddenly feels affordable. It feels necessary. This is not an accident, nor is it magic. Your rep texted you on Friday at 8 because you told her you’d be out drinking cocktails on Friday at 8. And when you’ve inevitably purchased your handbag on Saturday afternoon, you’ll finally understand the Goyard rep’s superpower: her ability to collect, curate, and employ context. This anachronistic sales methodology is called clienteling. Sending perfectly timed texts pays off in a world of six-figure accessories, but for software or sunglasses, it’s not a scalable approach. Cracking that conundrum—making sales feel personal at scale—has been at the core of my career as CEO of Faraday, which helps brands predict what their customers are likely to do next and reach them in the right moment. Now we have AI agents, and with them, companies have the chance to guide every customer along a bespoke journey. The raw LLM muscle can make every experience feel like Goyard’s—without the line. All you need is surgically precise context. The good news is that the context you need to succeed, whether you’re selling handbags or software, is all around you. Here is how to harness it for your business. CONTEXT: IT DEPENDS What’s the best music? Swifties aside, most people will say, “It depends.” Reveilles and lullabies suit different times of day, and you wouldn’t play a funeral dirge at a birthday party. The song isn’t inherently good or bad; it’s good or bad for this moment, this listener, this mood. That’s context. Most of the modern work you and I engage in is made up of “it depends” questions: Which message should this person see? Which feature should we highlight? Call or text? Knowledge alone rarely answers these questions. You also need to know who you’re dealing with and what surrounds the decision. My company, Faraday [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ZhcmFkYXkuYWkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6N30=], spends its time solving one particular version of this problem: helping consumer brands use context to decide how to engage each customer. But the pattern isn’t unique to marketing. A founder launching a product, a writer telling an interactive story, a developer tuning onboarding flows—they’re all, in one way or another, trying to get from “It depends” to “Do this next.” Once you understand the importance of context, you will understand that every customer interaction takes place in that 63rd Street showroom. Your moment with the customer is an arena, a stage, and when you summon or solicit context, you can shape the experience for them. You’re aligning your product, content, or itinerary to the customer rather than the other way around. In the case of Goyard, that means aligning with a customer who is willing to wait in a line outside a boutique in one of Manhattan’s most expensive streets. ENTER AGENTS By this point, whatever your line of business, you will have been met by a profusion of agentic tools [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3RoZXNpcy90aGUtcmFjZS1pcy1vbi10by1yZWRlc2lnbi1ldmVyeXRoaW5nLWZvci1haS1hZ2VudHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0=] offering to handle technical support, sales, marketing, finance, legal—you name it. Broadly speaking, these tools, or at least the reputable ones, work. Agents, armed with tools, working together in a loop toward an objective, can accomplish routine tasks. I don’t endorse any of these tools in particular. They all wrap one or the other of the same few LLMs or reinforcement learning algorithms and are inspiring feats of engineering. But they’re all missing something. You guessed it: context. That’s not to say they come with none. Good tools will connect to inventory, email, and other communications history, documentation, and any other source of ready first-party data. What’s missing is context about you. Sure, they know what you bought, but why? HOW YOU CAN SOLVE AGENTS’ CONTEXT PROBLEM To fix the context problem, start by procuring data on each customer—demographics, interests, behavioral signals—that goes beyond what they would tell you directly. This generally means enriching with third-party tools. In the B2B world, Clay [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NsYXkuY29tIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9], which collects data from sources such as LinkedIn, is a common starting point, while consumer brands generally turn to data brokers. Whatever vendor you choose, you will submit anonymous identifiers for your customers and receive data back in return. Now you have a new problem. For all their apparent brilliance, agents actually have relatively small “context budgets” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ZhcmFkYXkuYWkvYmxvZy9jb250ZXh0LWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLWFuZC1kZW1vZ3JhcGhpYy1kYXRhIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ==]: Give them too much, and they get overwhelmed and start to hallucinate.

The struggle to curate this data has given rise to what Anthropic calls context engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L3RoZS1iZXR0ZXItYWktZ2V0cy10aGUtbW9yZS1pdC1uZWVkcy11cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0=]. Put simply, agents can only process so much context at once—feed them too much, and they lose focus. You want to make every detail you give them count.The Goyard rep doesn’t memorize everything you said (it’s OK, you were nervous)—she filters for what matters, in this case, your cocktail plans. At scale, machine learning does the same filtering for you. Try clustering your customers with an algorithm [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ZhcmFkYXkuYWkvYmxvZy9rLW1lYW5zLWNsdXN0ZXJpbmctY3VzdG9tZXItcGVyc29uYXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9] to figure out which dimensions, such as income or location, distinguish your best customers from the rest. Build a decision tree ensemble, a model that finds patterns by asking a series of yes/no questions about your data, to identify which attributes offer early clues to eventual high spend. Platforms like Faraday do this machine learning automatically, or ask an LLM to help you build something yourself. These techniques act as a filter for your agents. You can use them to distill thousands of customer details into a handful of values that won’t overwhelm the model but will move the needle. Now that you have the context you need, it’s time to impart it to your agents. You can use advanced techniques like model context protocol (MCP) [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEx1eHVyeSBIYW5kYmFncyBDYW4gSGVscCBTb2x2ZSBBSSdzIENvbnRleHQgUHJvYmxlbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3BvZGNhc3QvaGUtcy1idWlsZGluZy10aGUtcGx1bWJpbmctZm9yLWFpLXRvLXVzZS10aGUtaW50ZXJuZXQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9], which allows you to link an AI model to different data sources, to empower the agents to retrieve the context when they need it. In practice, however, it’s often easier to just put the key details in the prompt. > You are a helpful sales representative at a luxury goods store. An > {{indecisive}} customer is considering a certain item, and you have taken a > picture of them wearing it. Among countless trivia, he has told you {{he will > be out for drinks at 8}}. You have his cell phone number. Design an engagement > plan optimized for purchase. Piece of cake. OUR AGENTIC FUTURE Breathtaking progress on the LLMs will surely continue, but mere access to these technical marvels is no longer a differentiator. The leverage you have in this brave new world is the same as Goyard’s in its anachronistic old one: context. 2026 is the year of context. The entrepreneurs who win will be those willing to go the extra mile to discover, assemble, and incorporate every piece of context into their workflows. Whereas in the past, a blowout context smorgasbord wouldn’t have been worth it—humans can only process so much—agents can handle much more. Some will subject their helpless agents to a deluge of irrelevant details. You, on the other hand, know that less is more, that quality beats quantity, that the cocktail plan reigns supreme. This is the most human wisdom of all: that context is everything; that even in the shadow of towering knowledge, it’s the little things that count. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Rossmeissl is the cofounder and CEO of Faraday.

I just had no clue where to start. At the same time, my best friend and I were playing chicken about whether we’d brave the snow to get together. I scanned my board game shelf, stocked with everything from crowd pleasers like Wingspan and Codenames to five-hour behemoths that no one wants to play with me, ever. I was trying to decide what we’d play if she did come over… and then I was thinking about worker placement and area control and victory conditions.

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF ‘THE TEACH’ I spent the holidays teaching my nephews board games. Over four days, the four of us—a nine-year-old, a seven-year-old, my mom, and me—played five different games. It’s not everyone’s idea of a good time, but it is mine. I like to think I have what’s called “the teach” in board game lingo down to a science. Before you go into strategy, before “here’s how you beat your brother,” there’s a more basic question: What are the pieces, and what do they do? This little wooden person is called a meeple. When you place it, you’re claiming that road. This gem chip means you can afford more expensive cards. This sushi card is worth points if you collect three of them. I knew I wanted to build a writing system that could take advantage of all these new capabilities and tools, but I wasn’t even clear on the parts I was working with. I had a Claude project with some custom instructions and a few Google Docs that I’d manually edit whenever I wanted to change something. It worked well enough. But it didn’t feel magical like those Think Week projects did. I needed an example, a game I could study to help me understand the parts and what they might do.

Every time you fix a bug or have a new insight, you write it down and feed it back to the AI. Over time, the system learns your preferences and grows more capable. What I had hoped to do for writing, Kieran’s plugin had already solved for code. If I could understand how it worked, I could find a way to apply it to writing. So I opened Claude Code, pointed it at the compound engineering plugin’s GitHub repository [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBCb2FyZCBHYW1lcyBUYXVnaHQgTWUgQWJvdXQgV29ya2luZyB3aXRoIEFJICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dpdGh1Yi5jb20vRXZlcnlJbmMvY29tcG91bmQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmctcGx1Z2luIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==], and said: How does this thing work? From there, my board game brain took over. I knew how to do this: Dump the pieces on the table, figure out what each one does, learn the moves, and play until the strategy clicks. In this case, the “table” was my desktop and the “pieces” were lines of code. But the principle is the same. WHAT ARE THE PIECES? Every game comes with components: tokens, cards, dice, and boards. Before you know what anything means, you need to know what you’re holding. Claude Code gave me an inventory of the pieces in the compound engineering “box”: agents, commands, skills, and configuration files. The point wasn’t to take a strict inventory but to identify the categories: actors, actions, stored knowledge, and preferences. Once you have the categories, you can ask what goes in each one for your domain. Claude helped here, too. It proposed writing equivalents to the engineering components—instead of a Rails reviewer, a developmental editor. Instead of a security auditor, a fact-checker. The most important mapping was the simplest. CLAUDE.md, where Kieran encodes his engineering taste in plain language, became TASTE.md, where I encoded writing style. It was the same concept: voice, sentence preferences, and a “kill list” of words I never want to see. When you use the plugin, Claude Code loads this file at the beginning of each writing session. WHAT MOVES CAN YOU MAKE? In a board game, this is the action phase: Place a worker, spend a resource, buy a property. Each action has rules, and the rules define what the pieces can do—and therefore what’s possible in the game. Kieran’s plugin has a four-step loop: Plan, work, review, compound. You research and plan before you build. You review what you built. Then you compound—capture what you learned so the system is smarter the next time around. The writing equivalent mapped onto a sequence I already knew from years of editing, even if I’d never laid it out this cleanly. Brainstorm: Surface raw material when you don’t have an idea yet. Interview: Pressure-test an idea you do have—what’s the claim, what’s the evidence, why should anyone care? Outline: Organize the material into a skeleton first. Draft: Expand that structure into prose, give the skeleton flesh. Edit: Review the big picture, zoom down to sentence level, then do a final check before you publish. Each stage has a job. Each one feeds the next, and—here’s the part that took me the longest to accept—you don’t skip steps. The temptation with AI is to jump straight to a draft. But a draft built on a bad outline is a fast way to produce polished garbage. HOW DO THE MOVES FIT TOGETHER? The best board games, though, aren’t just a string of moves one after another. Instead, they interlock and repeat those moves in such a way that early decisions have outsized effects in later rounds. In Settlers of Catan, the settlement you put up in round two funds the city you build in round eight. In Ticket to Ride, the routes you claim early lock out your opponents and determine which coasts you can connect later. Games like these reward thinking in systems. In Kieran’s plan-work-review-compound loop, the last step matters most. When you solve a problem, the system captures what you learned and surfaces it the next time something similar comes up. The system has a memory. Building the writing equivalent of that memory was the hardest part. I’d pre-loaded the system with Every’s editorial philosophy, but when I ran through it as though I were a test user, the AI got mixed up, and all of my (Katie’s) preferences showed up in what was supposed to be the user’s personal profile. The system was supposed to learn your taste. Instead, it was handing you mine. The solution was to split the system into two layers: a “defaults” file that holds an opinionated baseline for good writing, and a taste file that starts empty and fills up over time. That moment crystallized another important lesson from the board game framework: The engine only reveals its flaws when I actually play. HOW DO YOU WIN? Every board game has a victory condition—the objective that gives all the components and moves their meaning. Without it, you’re shuffling pieces around on a table. The victory condition for compound writing itself is straightforward: Each piece of writing makes the next one easier. The system gets smarter about you—your voice, your instincts, your recurring mistakes—and over time, the gap between what you mean and what shows up on the page gets smaller. But building compounding writing taught me that I also was playing a second, bigger game—the game of learning how to learn AI systems in the first place. This bigger game is far from over. I’m still testing, still refining, still discovering rules I’d encoded wrong or principles I’d forgotten to encode at all. Which is how learning any board game works. You don’t play perfectly the first time. You fumble through a round, misunderstand a rule, lose badly, and say, “Okay, now I get it—let’s play again.” That’s what learning AI feels like when you stop trying to understand everything at once. So dump the pieces on the table. Play a round. Lose. Compound what you learned. Then play again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBCb2FyZCBHYW1lcyBUYXVnaHQgTWUgQWJvdXQgV29ya2luZyB3aXRoIEFJICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5NDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9] is a staff writer and AI editorial lead at Every.

A WARMER CODING AGENT THAT’S STILL FOR BUILDERS As we’ve written, GPT-5.3 Codex feels more user-friendly than its predecessors—warmer and more creative—while still maintaining its technical prowess. That shift was echoed in OpenAI’s decision to run a Super Bowl ad for Codex rather than ChatGPT, signaling a bet that coding agents are ready for a mainstream audience. Still, OpenAI views Codex as its most powerful coding tool, one that requires a certain level of technical fluency. Sottiaux describes the target user as “technical” or “technical adjacent”—someone with familiarity in areas like data science, for example—and says that to get the most out of it, you should be able to read code. For the wider, less technical audience, he adds, OpenAI plans to eventually bring a similar experience into ChatGPT, which will not assume engineering literacy of its users. Even so, the team is adamant that professional developers deserve a “dedicated experience.” Ambrosino notes that while the Codex app shares clear DNA with ChatGPT—features such as the central chat-style interface and the auto-named conversations—it was purpose-built to “showcase the power of the models and the way [they] could change the [software] development lifecycle.” OPENAI BELIEVES YOUR CODING AGENT DOESN’T BELONG IN A TERMINAL OR THE IDE The decision to build a dedicated graphical user interface (GUI)—a visual, point-and-click interface rather than a text-only terminal approach—for the Codex app was, by the team’s own admission, a break from trending design choices. Ambrosino describes the app as a “daily driver,” with the terminal and the integrated development environment (IDE)—an all-in-one environment for writing code where many developers have traditionally worked—reserved for the occasional specialized task. According to them, a terminal works well for firing off quick tasks, but starts to feel limiting once agents become multimodal—drawing diagrams, generating images, and responding to voice instructions—or once you’re running several in parallel and need to keep track of them all. OpenAI designed Codex to dynamically show only the tools and views you need at that moment. “We came to the conclusion that…these models are great at knowing what’s needed…for what type of task,” Ambrosino says. Sottiaux adds that the AI is already acting on far more than just code—like filing tickets in project management software Linear and posting to Slack—and cramming all of that into an IDE “would feel very odd.” HOW THE CODEX TEAM TEACHES AI TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES Achieving a balance between the model being good at following instructions and intuiting user intent is something the team obsesses over. Codex has historically excelled at the former, but when they optimize too hard in that direction, the model starts to overindex on literal wording and miss intent in ways a human never would. Sottiaux takes the example of a typo in a prompt that ends up verbatim in the code, rather than the model inferring what you obviously meant. The team is also investing in what they call “personalities”—essentially, a measure of how supportive or blunt the model should be. While the previous default leaned heavily terse and direct, now there’s a friendlier, more supportive option, and users can toggle between the two. Both Sottiaux and Ambrosino still use the pragmatic “personality.” “You should feel like you have your own little personal Codex,” Sottiaux says, “that works in exactly the way that you want it to work.” HOW THE CODEX TEAM USES ITS OWN AI Two features make the Codex app especially powerful: “automations,” which let you schedule prompts to run hourly, daily, or at whatever cadence you set, and “skills,” which bundle instructions so that Codex can connect to external tools and run workflows that go beyond code generation, including research, reporting, and writing. These are a few automations and skills that Sottiaux and Ambrosino find useful: 1. Keeping code changes ready to ship. When multiple people are working on the same codebase, their changes can collide—one person’s update breaks another’s, creating “merge conflicts” that have to be manually untangled. Ambrosino runs an automation every hour or two that scans for these conflicts and quietly resolves them, so that when a change is ready to ship, it can go live immediately. 2. Daily team digest. Every morning at 9 a.m., Ambrosino gets an automated report summarizing everything that was merged into the Codex app over the previous day, including who contributed what, grouped by theme. It’s a quick way to stay on top of a fast-moving codebase without having to manually track every change—especially useful in the chaos leading up to a launch. 3. Random bug hunter. Sottiaux runs an automation multiple times a day that picks a random file from the codebase and looks for bugs. It uses a random number generator to choose where to start, so each run explores a different corner of the code. The automation usually picks up on non-critical bugs that nobody would’ve gone looking for and are trivial to fix. 4. Silent bug fixer. Another team favorite: an automation that reviews the pull requests you’ve done over the past day, scans for signs that anything is breaking. It pushes a fix before anyone notices you shipped a bug. 5. Daily marketing intel. Sottiaux runs a daily automation—tuned with a custom skill to do deep research—that searches the web for how users are perceiving and talking about Codex, and compiles what it finds into a short report. 6. One-click publish. After writing code, a developer still has to save it with an explanation (called a “commit”), open a pull request for teammates to review it, and write a clear title and summary describing what changed and why. Ambrosino built a “yeet” skill that does all of that automatically. 7. Custom book for his kids. Ambrosino used the Codex app’s image generation skill to create a personalized book for his kids. He started by prompting Codex to write a script based on his daughters’ ages, the cities they’ve lived in, and the arc of their lives so far. Once he approved the script, Codex generated an image for every page, then stitched everything together into a printable PDF. SPEED IS A DIMENSION OF INTELLIGENCE We said GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, the smaller, speed-optimized version of OpenAI’s GPT-5.3 Codex, is fast enough to blow your hair back [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-Op0hvdyBPcGVuQUnigJlzIENvZGV4IFRlYW0gVXNlcyBUaGVpciBDb2RpbmcgQWdlbnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy9haS1hcy1mYXN0LWFzLXlvdXItdHJhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=]—and it is. “We do slow it down ever so slightly, just so you can see the words come in a little bit smoother,” Ambrosino says. The team sees speed unlocking different ways of working 1. Staying in the flow. The first is simply staying in the flow. Sottiaux describes using the new model as “sculpting code” in real time. At first, the speed is almost disorienting, but within minutes, you adjust—and once you do, going back to anything slower is hard to imagine. 2. Replacing brittle tools with intelligent ones. Programmers rely on Git, a version control system for tracking code changes, to save and share changes to their code, and while it’s powerful, it’s also notoriously finicky. If the code is in even a slightly unusual state, simple actions like “publish this change” can trigger confusing errors that require manual cleanup. That’s why many apps struggle to make Git feel smooth or intuitive: There are too many edge cases to account for with rigid, pre-programmed buttons. Ambrosino suggests that a fast enough AI model can potentially change this. Instead of relying on brittle scripts that only work when everything is perfectly set up, the AI can look at the situation in real time and figure out what needs to happen. 3. Redirecting the model while it works. Mid-turn steering is the ability to send a new instruction while the model is still working, and have it adapt without stopping its thinking process. Codex already supports this, but paired with the new model, the experience would feel more and more like a fluid conversation. Sottiaux is especially excited about combining this with voice—talking to the model in natural language, redirecting it as you go, watching the implementation happen almost instantly. CODE REVIEW IS THE NEXT BOTTLENECK With speed close to being solved, the next bottleneck is review. Models can generate code faster than ever. But will it be bug-free? Will the button in the settings panel do what it’s supposed to? That still requires a human to click through the app and check for consistency. The OpenAI team is exploring what that process looks like with AI involved. The Codex app already has a review mode that annotates diffs (side-by-side comparisons showing exactly which lines of code were added, removed, or changed). Speed helps here, too, Sottiaux adds. A faster model that helps you understand the code you’re reviewing offsets some of the pressure created by the sheer volume now being produced. Ambrosino hints at a more ambitious direction: If a model can prove a bug fix works by retracing the exact click path a user would take, code review, as we know it, might matter less—you’d verify the outcome directly rather than reading the code as a proxy. The team already has skills in the Codex app that click around the app, screenshot the results, and attach them to a pull request to show what changed (and why it works). What do you use AI for? Have you found any interesting or surprising use cases? We want to hear from you—and we might even interview you. Timestamps 1. Introduction: 00:01:27 2.

Now, with the release of Sonnet 4.6, Anthropic says you don’t have to trade anything—just pay less. If you’re running a live app with users on Opus right now, there is some good news about your API costs: Sonnet 4.6 costs $3 input/$15 output per million tokens—roughly half what Opus runs. (GPT-5.2, for comparison, costs $1.75 input/$14 output per 1 million tokens.) Cost has been a consistent sticking point with Opus, and with Sonnet 4.6, Anthropic seems to be saying, “We hear you.” These are true day-zero tests—we got access when everyone else did—so let’s dive in to determine in real time whether it’s true that Sonnet’s new capabilities come without sacrifice.

THE REACH TEST DAN SHIPPER, COFOUNDER AND CEO 🟨 “Green for using inside of products you’re building, yellow for my own daily work. If you’re building an app that was previously too expensive to run on Opus, this is a big deal. For coding and complex tasks where I can afford Opus and 5.3 Codex, I’d probably stick with it.” KIERAN KLAASSEN, GENERAL MANAGER OF CORA [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo5fQ==] 🟨 “It’s very usable, and for a lot of people it should be the default. But it frustrated me when it got stuck on something Opus solved in one shot. Anytime a model frustrates me, that’s a no-go for my personal workflow—but this is genuinely solid for production.” WHAT WORKS WELL The model is smart. Across coding tasks, pull request triage, brainstorming, and a complex P&L restructuring, it held the thread, followed through on multi-step instructions, and didn’t make the kind of mid-task mistakes that would have tripped up Sonnet 4.5. Kieran ran it through a full compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1ob3ctZXZlcnktY29kZXMtd2l0aC1hZ2VudHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9] workflow—sorting through a backlog of pending code changes, merging branches, writing changelogs, and theming issues—and came away impressed. “I’ve not found any reasons to believe it’s not as smart as Opus 4.6 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9vcHVzLTQtNiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0=],” he said.

With Sonnet 4.6, that cost roughly halves, without touching the codebase. WHAT NEEDS WORK Given past precedent, you’d expect a new Sonnet model to be meaningfully faster than Opus. This one feels nearly the same. That’s fine if you’re getting Opus-quality output, but disappointing if you were counting on snappier performance for iteration-heavy workflows. The model also showed some erratic behavior under pressure. When Dan asked it to plan a homepage redesign, it correctly asked for a name for the work tree—a separate copy of the codebase where it could experiment safely—then immediately started rewriting the homepage anyway. As Dan noted, “It’s both too cautious and too eager.” And when Kieran ran into an MCP configuration issue, Sonnet 4.6 spun in circles while Opus solved it in one shot and cited the exact wrong file. THE VERDICT Dan thinks that Anthropic’s strategy is to keep model tier prices stable while continuously improving the product. Whatever Opus can do today, Sonnet will be able to do it in six months for less. If you’re building AI-powered products and have been holding off on Opus because of cost, the wait is over. Sonnet 4.6 appears to be the model that delivers the capability you want without making your bank account cry. If you’re using Claude for your own complex work and can swing the Opus price, you probably don’t need to switch yet. But if you’re on the $20 Pro plan and want more horsepower, this is a meaningful upgrade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more on Claude Sonnet, check out our previous coverage: 1. “Vibe Check: Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLWNsYXVkZS0zLTctc29ubmV0LWFuZC1jbGF1ZGUtY29kZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=]” 2. “Vibe Check: Sonnet 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLWNsYXVkZS1zb25uZXQtNC01IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==]” 3. “We Tested Claude Sonnet 4.5 for Writing and Editing [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLXdlLXRlc3RlZC1jbGF1ZGUtc29ubmV0LTQtNS1mb3Itd3JpdGluZy1hbmQtZWRpdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=]” 4. “Claude Sonnet 4 Now Has a 1-million Token Context Window [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLWNsYXVkZS1zb25uZXQtNC1ub3ctaGFzLWEtMS1taWxsaW9uLXRva2VuLWNvbnRleHQtd2luZG93IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==]” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQW50aHJvcGljIEp1c3QgTWFkZSBPcHVzIENoZWFwZXIgV2l0aG91dCBDYWxsaW5nIEl0IFRoYXQgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30=] is a staff writer and AI editorial lead at Every.

The app he was demo-ing identified the book, generated a summary, and produced character breakdowns calibrated to exactly where he was in the story—no spoilers past page 203. Nobody programmed it to do any of this. Instead, Dan’s app has a handful of basic tools—“read file,” “write file,” and “search the web”—and an AI agent smart enough to combine them in a way that matches the user’s request. When it generates a summary, for example, that’s the agent deciding on its own to search the web, pull in relevant information, and write a file that the app displays. This is what we call agent-native architecture [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L2FnZW50LW5hdGl2ZS1hcmNoaXRlY3R1cmVzLWhvdy10by1idWlsZC1hcHBzLWFmdGVyLXRoZS1lbmQtb2YtY29kZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ==]—or, in Dan’s shorthand, “Claude Code in a trench coat [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy9jbGF1ZGUtY29kZS1pbi1hLXRyZW5jaGNvYXQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0=].” On the surface, it looks like regular software, but instead of pre-written code dictating every move the software makes, each interaction routes to an underlying agent that figures out what to do. There’s still code involved—it makes up the interface and defines the tools that are available to the agent. But the agent decides which tools to use and when, combining them in ways the developer never explicitly programmed.

They’re working at different scales and with different constraints, so they’re drawing the lines in different places. Here’s what they shared about how the architecture works, what it looks like in production, and what goes wrong when you get it right. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. The AI is the app. Instead of coding every feature, you define a few simple tools the AI is allowed to use—for instance, read a file, write a file, and search the web. When you ask it to do something, it decides on its own which tools to reach for and how to combine them. 2. Simpler tools get smarter results. The smaller and more basic you make each tool, the more creatively the AI combines them. Claude Code is powerful because its core tool—running terminal commands—can do almost anything. 3. Rules belong in the tools, not the instructions. You can ask an AI to be careful, but it might ignore you. If an action is irreversible—like deleting files—the safeguard has to be built into the tool itself. 4. You don’t have to start over to start learning. Give the AI a safe space to interact with your existing app and experiment outside the live product. You’ll learn what the agent needs without risking what already works. Just don’t get attached to the code—as models improve, expect to throw things out and rebuild every few months.

That’s not a memory problem. It’s a meetings problem. When you’re back-to-back all day, there’s no time to process. No time to write the follow-up. No time to turn “we should probably...” into something that actually happens. Granola helps you become the person who actually does what they said they’d do. You take notes during the meeting : just quick bullets, nothing formal. Granola transcribes in the background and turns those notes into clear summaries with actual next steps. After the call, you can share your notes with the team so everyone’s aligned. Or chat with them to pull out exactly what you need to do next, without re-reading the whole thing. No more “wait, what did we decide?” moments. No more dropping the ball because you had three calls in a row and couldn’t keep track. Just clarity. And follow-through. Download Granola and try it on your next meeting.

HOW AGENT-NATIVE WORKS Traditional software can only do what it’s explicitly programmed to do by its code. Click “sort by date,” and it sorts by date. Click “export,” and you get a CSV. It will never spontaneously summarize your inbox or reorganize your files by topic—unless someone wrote the code for that exact feature. Instead of coded features, an agent-native app has tools (small, discrete actions like “read file” or “delete item”) and skills (instructions written in plain English that describe how to combine those tools). An agent uses those tools and skills to produce an outcome that you specify, such as identifying what book you are reading from one page. Three principles make this work: 1. Parity: Whatever the user can do, the agent can do. Every click, form submission, and interaction is available to both. 2. Granularity: Tools should be atomic—small and single-purpose—and features, such as a personalized book summary or a Monday morning email brief, should live at the skill level where they can be written and modified in plain text. 3. Composability: When tools are atomic and skills can combine them freely, the app develops the ability to do things nobody explicitly designed for. But there are trade-offs. Agent-native apps are slower because the agent has to reason through each request instead of running deterministic code—pre-written instructions that always produce the same result. They’re more expensive because every interaction burns tokens, the unit AI companies use to measure and charge for usage. And they’re less predictable—the same request won’t always produce the same result, which makes security harder to guarantee. Dan’s bet is that inference costs—the price of having the AI think—drop roughly 80 percent every few months, making this architecture cheaper over time. But today, it’s still expensive. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=] general manager Kieran Klaassen [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2llcmFuXzEzNTUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9] has seen days where those costs hit $1,500 with thousands of users.

He’d been building a read-later app as a side project—something like Pocket or Instapaper [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFwYXBlci5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==], where you save articles from the web and read them later. But instead of a traditional database, the entire backend is a set of folders, and an AI agent helps you interact with everything you’ve saved. Web apps typically store data in databases, using structured query languages like SQL to retrieve information from organized tables. Agents don’t think that way. They think in files. So when a user signs up for Naveen’s app, it spins up a lightweight Linux container—a small, dedicated virtual computer in the cloud—just for them. Saved articles become markdown files in a folder. The agent gets three tools: read file, write file, and list files. Naveen’s ReadLater app combines three abilities—read, write, and list—to perform analysis on Naveen’s saved articles.

(Image courtesy of Naveen Naidu.) Those simple building blocks determine what the agent—and ultimately the user—can achieve. Ask the agent to find themes across your saved articles, and it lists the files, reads them, finds patterns, and writes a profile. The most agent-native architecture might look like 1995: Files and folders, markdown, and plain text. They’re the same Lego blocks that have worked for decades—which is exactly why agents can work with them, too. WHEN AGENTS GO ROGUE When an agent can combine tools on its own, it can also take actions you never intended—including destructive ones.

He was working on Deep Clean, a feature to help users clear junk out of their folders. The problem is that clutter is personal—one user’s junk is another user’s reference library. Building a user interface for every possible preference would take forever. So he gave the work to an agent. He could tell it, “Delete all my screenshots except the ones in my Downloads folder,” and it figures out the rest. Yash told agent-native Sparkle, “Keep anything from the last seven days, delete anything older,” and it automatically figured out which screenshots met that rule and cleared out everything beyond that window.

(Image courtesy of Yash Poojary.) The problem emerged when the agent went into what Yash calls “god mode.” It started deleting files without asking for confirmation. His first instinct was to fix it in the prompt—tell the agent to always ask first—but it didn’t work reliably. The agent would sometimes skip confirmation because it was confident it knew what the user wanted. So Yash moved the guardrails from the prompt into the tools themselves. The delete tool now requires confirmation as a parameter—it literally won’t execute without user approval. ”There’s a guarantee in the tool,” he explained, “versus prompts, which are still suggestions.” The practice generalizes to agent-native building broadly: When an action can’t be undone, the constraint has to live in code that always behaves the same way, not in a prompt the agent can choose to ignore. RETROFITTING AN EXISTING APP Dan and Naveen’s apps were built from scratch. Kieran, on the other hand, has to make Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNX0=], an email assistant with thousands of users, agent-native without breaking what people already love. Kieran initially resisted the push toward agent-native. He was thinking about the app’s active users, the inference costs, and the complexity of changing production code. But at the same time, agent-native captured the vision he’d always had for Cora—an email assistant where users could ask for anything, and the program would figure out how to do it without any need for a developer’s input. His first move was outside the app entirely. He built a command-line interface (CLI)—a text-based way to control Cora by typing commands instead of clicking through the app—and connected it to Claude Code. This let him experiment with different agent-native workflows without touching the live product, discover what tools he needed, and bring lessons back into Cora’s architecture. Kieran experiments with potential agent-native flows for Cora before he lets them near production. (Image courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.)

(Image courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.) For example, his experimentation revealed there were too many tools and too much business logic baked into the tool’s definition. The agent couldn’t work with them effectively, and lighter AI models—which are faster and cheaper—got confused with too much context. You can’t have confusion in an app whose job is to surface the right information every time. But as Yash’s example illustrates, the fix isn’t as simple as “move everything into the prompt.” Cora’s system prompt (the master instruction set that tells the AI how to behave) is already 1,200 tokens long (roughly 900 words), and lighter AI models get confused with too much context. Kieran’s solution has been to lean hard into skills—text-based instructions that split the difference between the rigid world of tools and the flexibility of prompts. A skill is just a text file that describes how to handle a specific task, like drafting a weekly summary, so when a developer wants to change how Cora behaves, they edit that file. There’s no need to write code. This opens the possibility that users could bring their own skills—a Todoist integration or a custom Monday morning brief—but that’s not in Cora quite yet. GET USED TO TOSSING YOUR CODE EVERY SIX MONTHS In traditional software development, code is the product. You build, maintain, and improve it over time. In agent-native development, code is scaffolding. You still write it, but mostly to compensate for what today’s models can’t yet do reliably on their own, such as handling an edge case the agent gets wrong, or enforcing a sequence of steps the model sometimes skips. When a smarter model gets released, those workarounds become unnecessary. The model handles the same task with a skill and a few tools. Dan talked with the Anthropic team building Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEJ1aWxkIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZTogTGVzc29ucyBGcm9tIEZvdXIgQXBwcyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy10by11c2UtY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtbGlrZS10aGUtcGVvcGxlLXdoby1idWlsdC1pdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=], and according to them, they work this way already.

The most prolific users speak more than 5,000 words a day—the equivalent of more than two hours of typing saved. But because Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgTW9ub2xvZ3VlIGZvciBpT1MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQyLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9tb25vbG9ndWUudG8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0=] only lived on Mac desktops, I couldn’t use dictation on my own phone, one of the places where I do the most typing every day. Apple’s built-in dictation mangles my Indian accent. In loud environments, it’s worse—words get swapped, and sentences are garbled. I once dictated a list of groceries that ended up including “three X” instead of “three eggs.” Every time I dictate something, the cleanup takes longer than typing it out with my own two hands. But typing was frustratingly slow because my thoughts move faster than my fingers. I solved my problem by building an iOS app. Now, I speak my thoughts, take a quick glance at the output, and hit “send.” I’m not cleaning up missing words or wondering if I sound like myself. My thoughts and my writing are finally moving at the same speed on my smartphone—when I’m sending a note to a friend, sending an email on the go, or even doing some mobile coding. Today, Monologue is on iOS for everyone to experience their voice as a keyboard.

VOICE AS A KEYBOARD You already know what you want to say. Monologue gets it out of your head and onto the screen inside the apps you already use—iMessage, Gmail, Slack, Notes. Unlike Apple Dictation, which gives you a transcript, Monologue translates your speech into writing. The app cleans up repeated words, removes vocal tics like “um,” and adds punctuation. So you’re sending something clean, not jumbled. CONTEXT-AWARE FORMATTING Monologue adapts to the way you write across different apps and contexts, so you do minimal editing. 1. iMessage: Monologue creates writing that is short, casual, and conversational. You don’t have to explicitly indicate which punctuation you want, like an exclamation point or a period. It’s added naturally. 2. Email: Monologue translates your speech into structured paragraphs and clear sentences. Your tone sounds human. 3. Notes: Monologue turns your messy spoken thoughts into something you can actually use later, adding lists, headings, and clean bullets. YOUR VOCABULARY We all have our own vocabulary—names of friends, acronyms we use, products we love, regional slang. Monologue learns your words and keeps them with you. If you are using Monologue on Mac, the app syncs your lexicon across both. WHISPER MODE There are times you want to dictate without feeling like you’re performing, like when you’re sitting in a coffee shop or an office where you’d rather not broadcast the content of a draft email to your boss. Speak softly. Monologue’s whisper mode carries the big stick. NOTES FOR LONG-FORM For that moment when inspiration strikes, but you’re not near a computer, Monologue lets you record longer audio like a voice memo. Use it for journaling or to capture your thoughts on a long walk, then scan the summary later. Today, it’s simple on purpose. In the future, Notes will connect to third-party apps, becoming a part of the fabric of your workflows. THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN SPEECH AND WRITING The keyboard’s monopoly is ending. Voice notes are now a widely used and accepted form of communication. But there’s a problem on the receiving end. Your friends don’t want to listen to your near-podcast-length updates. The answer is to keep the voice input and make the text output better. The most common gateway is coding—over 40 percent of Monologue usage in the past three months has been in the terminal or in tools like Cursor and Claude Code, where voice is the fastest way to tell agents what you need. From there, people graduate to emails and messages, then get comfortable enough with dictation to use it for everyday writing. I expect that progression to accelerate now that Monologue travels with you. Like each product at Every, it’s built with taste—the same care for how something feels, not just whether it works—and quietly raises the quality of your life. Monologue for iOS is available now for Every subscribers. Experience the shortest distance between speech and writing, wherever you are.

The AI industry has spent the last year optimizing for intelligence—smarter models, deeper reasoning, longer thinking chains. Spark goes in the other direction. It’s not as sharp as Opus 4.6 or GPT-5.3 Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL2dwdC01LTMtY29kZXgiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9] on reasoning, so it’s not as reliable on complex tasks. But then again, how smart does a model need to be if it gets you what you need before you lose your train of thought? WHAT IT IS Spark is a smaller, speed-optimized version of OpenAI’s GPT-5.3 Codex, built to run on hardware from Cerebras, a chipmaker that designed its processors specifically for AI inference. It’s OpenAI’s first model running on non-Nvidia hardware, which is partly why it’s so fast: Cerebras designed its hardware specifically for speed at AI inference, not for general purpose (as Nvidia does). The tradeoff is that Spark is less capable than both GPT-5.3 Codex and Opus 4.6 on complex reasoning. Think of it as a fast junior developer who can knock out simple tasks instantly, rather than a senior engineer who takes longer but catches edge cases.

WHAT’S WORKING Dan has been testing Spark on knowledge work queries where he needs an answer in 30 seconds and staying in flow is more important than getting every detail correct. On the stream, he pulled a YouTube performance report in about 30 seconds that would have taken Opus or 5.3 Codex closer to 90. Dan pointed out that 90 seconds is enough to make him leave the task, check Discord, and lose the thread. Thirty seconds keeps him in his chair. Kieran found Spark best for brainstorming and rapid iteration. He ran it through his compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1ob3ctZXZlcnktY29kZXMtd2l0aC1hZ2VudHMtYWYzYTFiYWUtY2Y5Yi00NThlLTgwNDgtYzZiNGJhODYwZTYyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ==] workflow—triaging GitHub issues, planning features, iterating on Cora’s user interface—and the speed made exploratory work feel frictionless. He ran about 10 design iterations in the time a heavier model would have finished two or three. The stream’s most interesting finding came from another Kieran experiment. He gave Spark a routine code review task two ways: one where Spark did all the work itself, and one where it delegated pieces to helper agents—the way most developers speed up complex tasks. Spark alone finished in 1.5 minutes. With helpers, it took four minutes, because the helpers had to pass information back and forth. Kieran thinks this points to a broader change in how developers will approach code. Until now, developers have been building increasingly complex systems where multiple AI agents divide up work and run in parallel—it’s faster than waiting for one model to handle everything. But if the model itself is fast enough, that complexity becomes unnecessary. One well-written prompt that gets an answer in a second can beat a five-agent system that takes four minutes to coordinate. WHAT NEEDS WORK The code itself isn’t as good. GPT-5.3 Codex and Opus 4.6 both produce more comprehensive and reliable output on serious tasks. Spark is a tier below on reasoning, and for anything production-critical, you’d still reach for a model with heavier reasoning capabilities. The speed also creates its own problem. Spark can spit out 10 pages of code and work summaries in about 30 seconds, which is overwhelming. Dan flagged this as a UI problem, not a model problem—coding interfaces aren’t built for reviewing output at this pace. Until tools develop affordances for that volume of work, the raw speed can create friction instead of eliminating it. Dan framed both limitations as part of a larger pattern: Every three to six months, capabilities change so radically that your entire approach has to change. UI overwhelm didn’t used to be a problem. Progress can be energizing but also, as Dan admitted, “a little tiring.” WHO SHOULD TRY IT It’s worth trying if you have: 1. Fast, lightweight tasks that don’t need deep reasoning: brainstorming, triage, analytics queries, UI iteration 2. Workflows where staying in flow matters more than perfection: changelogs, quick data pulls, exploratory prototyping 3. Curiosity about how speed changes your process: if iteration is part of what you value about AI, this model could be for you, For anything that needs precision or judgment, stick with Opus 4.6 or 5.3 Codex.

Then came Windows, and we stopped writing instructions and started clicking icons. Next our phone, where we forgot the mouse and used our fat fingers to scroll the web. Now, I don’t even use my hands. I talk. I whisper to my code. I yell at my email. I murmur incantations that make my computer dance as if I’m casting spells. Productivity at 200 words per minute while I watch the clouds float by. Each shift in computing stripped away a layer of abstraction. The cursor was more natural than a terminal. Fingers were more natural than the mouse. Voice is the interface we were born knowing how to use. It’s why talking feels so right, like something we’re returning to rather than adopting for the first time. It may not be a coincidence that voice is having its moment at the same time that AI is making us feel like beginners again. Every week there is a new tool and a new interface to learn. When things are moving so fast, voice might be the key to getting our heads around all of it. Because you don’t have to learn voice—you just say what you want. The interface that supported the emergence of human civilization hundreds of thousands of years ago turns out to be the best way to keep up with the most complex technology we’ve ever built. Not despite being ancient, but because of it.—Willie Williams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9iaWd3aWxsaWVzdHlsZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30=] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM EVERY STUDIO CORA GETS A MODEL UPGRADE This week Kieran [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2llcmFuXzEzNTUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzh9] upgraded the inference model powering Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOX0=]’s email classification and summarization from Gemini Flash 2.0 to Flash 2.5.

Given that I worked in medicine through COVID, my chest, as you can imagine, gets pretty tight. I put the phone down but don’t fall back asleep. One of the issues is that the AI timeline only ever seems to serve you two emotions: terror that you’re about to be replaced, or panic that you’re falling behind. And you can’t dismiss either, because some of these takes have merit. So instead of ignoring the content, I realized I had to create some kind of filter that stops it from overwhelming me. What broke the cycle was a technique I borrowed from writer Cedric Chin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb21tb25jb2cuY29tL2F1dGhvci9jZWRyaWMvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQyfQ==].

When I started answering honestly, I realized most of my scrolling was hoarding and stockpiling information that wouldn’t change a single decision I’d make that week. I came across an impressive new AI video editor, but it was nowhere near my top five priorities. So I bookmarked it as interesting and forgot about it. The mass layoffs thread that went megaviral is possibly directionally true, but it doesn’t change what I’m doing right now, at this moment. This is not ignorance by any stretch of the imagination. I’m choosing what enters my sphere of attention and filtering it through my goals and objectives. I know this sounds like Life Advice 101—you know, just have priorities. But I didn’t actively apply the ones that I had for the first 30 years of my life, and I’d bet most people scrolling at 4 a.m. don’t either. Once you have even a rough plan of what you’re trying to do this week, this month, this year, everything on your timeline becomes filterable through that lens. It either serves your goals or it doesn’t, and the stuff that doesn’t can be de-prioritized. That’s what intentionality gives you: equanimity and a good night’s sleep.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgYXMgRmFzdCBhcyBZb3VyIFRyYWluIG9mIFRob3VnaHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTQxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2xwMWRpZ2VzdC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQ1fQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Twenty-four years later, two-pizza teams are now themselves too big for building software products. When each employee is armed with Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9jb2RleC12cy1vcHVzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9], the ideal team size shrinks even further. I call it the two-slice team. Two slices, to feed one person. (These are New York slices that you fold in half and eat standing at a counter.) This is how we structure our product teams at Every. We have four software products, each run by a single person. Ninety-nine percent of our code is written by AI agents. Overall, we have six business units with just 20 full-time employees. The two-slice team structure lets us ship faster, pivot more quickly, and maintain the entrepreneurial spirit that larger teams lose. And these are real products, not just weekend vibe coding demos. For example, Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1vbm9sb2d1ZS50by8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9], our smart dictation app run by Naveen Naidu [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQG5hdmVlbl82ODA0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==], is used about 30,000 times a day to transcribe 1.5 million words. The codebase totals 143,000 lines of code and Naveen’s written almost every single line of it himself with the help of Codex and Opus. AI also helps Naveen do customer service and market research, and think through business and product strategy. It allows him to do by himself what would normally take 3–4 people before AI. A two-slice team works well as a starting point for software products. But as these products have grown and as we’ve introduced new products we’ve also had to re-invent how the rest of the organization supports these teams. HOW ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORT TWO-SLICE TEAMS Rather than putting more full-time employees on existing products, two-slice teams pull in help as needed from both inside and outside of Every. To enable this, our design, growth, and marketing teams act as internal agencies that move team members in and out of projects as needed. For example, our creative director Lucas Crespo [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGx1Y2FzY3Jlc3BvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEyfQ==] runs a three-person team. A team member might help design a new Monologue screen, but that won’t be all they work on. They might also design a promotional banner for Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3JpdGV3aXRoc3BpcmFsLmNvbSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=], our AI writing helper, or an email template for Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlci8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9], our AI email assistant. In any given week, one creative team member might touch two or more of our products. Sometimes these resources come from outside of Every too. Cora, run by Kieran Klaasen [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFR3by1zbGljZSBUZWFtIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzOSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGtpZXJhbl8xMzU1IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==], employs a full-stack senior engineer who helps out a few days a week with hairy problems that current AI models aren’t great at solving in one go. The engineer dips in and out to help build the infrastructure that lets Cora process millions of emails per day. This kind of flexible structure is only possible because AI lets internal employees and freelancers alike get up to speed on an unfamiliar product in minutes. For example, a technical freelancer can quickly understand the codebase using AI, without Kieran having to step away from his own work to help explain. We think it’s a superior working experience for everyone involved. General managers get a lot of autonomy and can move extremely quickly on new opportunities. Internal team members get to touch different products and problems every day, so the work is always interesting. In fact, I’ve been acting as a two-slice team myself.

It doesn’t require investors to become coders, just proficiency with Claude Code and a clear view of the tasks to automate—lessons that apply to any industry.—Kate Lee [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IENsYXVkZSBDb2RlIElzIFRyYW5zZm9ybWluZyBGaW5hbmNl4oCUV2l0aG91dCBUdXJuaW5nIFlvdSBJbnRvIGEgQ29kZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTM4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9vbi1ldmVyeS9rYXRlLWxlZS1qb2lucy1ldmVyeS1hcy1lZGl0b3ItaW4tY2hpZWYiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NH0=] Plus: If you work in finance and want to learn more, join us on March 13 for a day-long Claude Code for Finance course.

We’ve seen this pattern repeatedly: A team gets excited about AI, spends a few weeks trying to get something working, hits a technical snag, and quietly goes back to doing things the old way. It’s a funny little conundrum that firms in one of the industries best fit for AI struggle to figure out how to implement it. But several low-hanging solutions can accelerate AI adoption in finance. Here’s a primer on how to get started, based on what I have seen from six months of supporting firms representing more than $100 billion in assets under management.

START WITH CLAUDE CODE Financial services teams scour through earnings calls, portfolio reviews, and limited partner updates—massive amounts of data. AI is a natural solution to synthesize these inputs and quickly find patterns in them. However, common LLM tools don’t connect to all of your data, and it can take too much time working with LLMs to get it right. If you’re only using ChatGPT or Claude chat, they aren’t built to handle complex, multi-step workflows and incorporate structured and unstructured data. Usually, the first step I take with finance teams is to recommend Claude Code. Unlike alternative LLM tools, Claude Code can run for hours on a single task, access all your files without limits—including folders and files stored locally on your computer—and write and execute code automatically. It can also plan, allocate agents to a task, and run work in parallel. This lets you tap into the full capability of newer models such as Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3 Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IENsYXVkZSBDb2RlIElzIFRyYW5zZm9ybWluZyBGaW5hbmNl4oCUV2l0aG91dCBUdXJuaW5nIFlvdSBJbnRvIGEgQ29kZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTM4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL2NvZGV4LXZzLW9wdXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9]. It’s also the best tool for large amounts of data and complex tasks. Data is useless unless you can connect data sets that don’t naturally speak to each other. For example, in an earnings preview, which lays out what analysts and investors should expect to see in a company’s quarterly earnings, Claude Code excels at connecting multiple data sets that are rarely paired together, including alternative data sets and fundamental data. This could be data that lives in the browser, such as economic data releases from a central bank, or in someone’s Downloads folder, and historically would take an engineer to bring together. DEFINE WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO GET DONE The second step for teams is to clearly define the task they need to complete.

You’ll also have breakouts with peers for collaboration and troubleshooting, and you’ll get feedback to get unblocked and ship by day’s end. You'll leave feeling confident, even if you've never used Claude Code before. Who this is for: This course is for builders across non-technical roles—marketing, content, product, sales, operations—who want to use agentic AI to get more done: build tools, automate work, prototype ideas, and more. If you’re curious about Claude Code and wondering how to get started, this course is for you. What you get: * One full day of live instruction: We’ll teach you everything you need to know about working with Claude Code—not just the mechanics, but the thinking behind it. * Hands-on help when you need it: During breakouts and independent building time, you'll get real-time support. If you're stuck, we'll get you unstuck. * A shipped project by day's end: You'll leave with something live that you can share, use, and build on. * Post-workshop materials: Reference guides and next steps so you can keep building on your own. * An annual Every membership ($288 value): Access to our daily newsletter ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/dpheh0hev405dnam/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9uZXdzbGV0dGVy ), AI tools like Cora ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/e0hph7h76p04mgc8/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLw== ), Sparkle ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/7qh7h8h9qkozd2hz/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWtlaXRzcGFya2xlLmNvLw== ), Spiral ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/owhkhqhwpkrox2bv/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXcuc3BpcmFsLmNvbXB1dGVyLw== ), and Monologue ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/z2hghnhen43w5lip/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubW9ub2xvZ3VlLnRvLw== ), events ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/p8heh9h4m3zxrpaq/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHM= ), and our Discord community. -->Reserve your spot ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4zrnn6clh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/reh8hohm420xkwa2/aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGF1ZGUxMDEuZXZlcnkudG8v ) Reserve your spot ( https://claude101.every.to/ )Do you offer refunds or scholarships?

Goodger is Atlas’s head of engineering, and Fisher is a member of the technical staff. Both are legends of the browser world. They’ve spent decades building the modern web, working together on Netscape, Firefox, and Chrome before arriving at Atlas. From that vantage point, they told Dan how they think browsing is about to change, why building a browser is harder than it looks, and what it’s like to create a new one with AI coding tools like Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgT3BlbkFJ4oCZcyBBZ2VudGljIEJyb3dzZXIsIEF0bGFzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9ncHQtNS0zLWNvZGV4IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==].

THE WEB WILL SURVIVE—WITH LESS DRUDGERY One of the big questions hanging over agentic browsers is whether they eventually make the web obsolete. If you can stay inside ChatGPT and have agents do all the browsing for you—maybe even spin up custom pages on demand—do traditional websites cease to matter? Goodger doesn’t buy that future. Yes, people will increasingly hand off tedious or mechanical work to agents. But he believes there is a category of activities, like shopping and travel planning, where people still want to be directly involved. The web’s abundance, in these cases, is part of its appeal; it’s a place to wander rather than a resource to extract. Fisher offered an analogy: He loves taking Waymos, but he also loves driving his stick shift. Sometimes you want the convenience of being chauffeured; other times, you want tactility and control—and the future involves moving between the two modes depending on the task. While AI might synthesize information for you, what to ignore and what to act on is still up to you. You might ask a model to prepare a shopping cart, but you’re still going to want to look at what’s in it before you buy. You’ll probably incorporate the two modes, says Fisher, very naturally in your life. A BROWSER AS A GUIDE, NOT JUST A DOORWAY For most of the web’s history, browsers have been an empty door frame between you and whatever site you’re trying to reach. If they work well, you barely notice they exist. But an agentic browser introduces a new possibility: a browser that also helps you decide where to go. Dan likens this to the difference between a utilitarian taxi and a more-involved tour guide. He wonders if this new vision of the browser conflicts with what people have come to expect from the old vision. Goodger argues Atlas is built to balance this duality. The interface is deliberately minimal, keeping the browsing experience familiar and unobtrusive—but ChatGPT sits at the heart of the product, ready when you want it. You choose how much to engage with the AI. The web is full of moments where you don’t know what to do next in order to achieve an objective. Atlas, they suggest, is designed for those situations. AN INSIDE LOOK AT BUILDING AN AGENTIC BROWSER Goodger estimates that more than half the code behind Atlas was written by Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgT3BlbkFJ4oCZcyBBZ2VudGljIEJyb3dzZXIsIEF0bGFzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9jb2RleC12aWJlLWNoZWNrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==], OpenAI’s coding agent. The browser is as much built by AI as it is built for AI. HOW THE ATLAS TEAM USES CODEX Goodger and Fisher have been manually coding browsers together for decades, and they both say that building Atlas with AI feels fundamentally different. For Fisher, the value lies in navigating complexity. For years they’ve worked in the Chromium codebase—the foundational code that underlies Google Chrome and other browsers including Microsoft Edge, Opera, Brave, and Atlas. That codebase has grown enormous over time, so being able to ask Codex questions about it is, Fisher says, “unbelievably useful.” The same goes for learning new techniques like how to set up a particular animation, or knowing what the right strategy is for a UI effect. “A lot of our code is able to be created by Codex because there’s a lot of straightforward aspects to what we’re doing, but there’s also very delicate aspects,” he says. “These tools can be tremendous companions as we’re trying to figure out what’s the right strategy to explore the solution space.” HOW AI CHANGES THE EXPERIENCE OF CODING For engineers who’ve spent decades writing software by hand, using AI coding tools can feel like a kind of loss [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBJbnNpZGUgT3BlbkFJ4oCZcyBBZ2VudGljIEJyb3dzZXIsIEF0bGFzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvd2hlbi1haS1jYW4tZG8teW91ci1qb2Itd2hvLWVsc2UtYXJlLXlvdSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=]: The work gets faster, but perhaps less personal. Fisher doesn’t deny that tension. He describes writing code as “almost therapeutic,” like “art, ”and views Codex as a tool that accelerates the tedious parts while leaving the satisfying ones intact. He describes spending hours on a refactor that spanned the code base—updating the same kind of code, with slight variations, in dozens of places across the project. When a similar task came up later, he handed it to Codex, and it finished in an hour by following the patterns he’d already established. Goodger sees a similar division of labor. AI coding tools are often surprisingly good at finding elegant solutions, but they don’t always understand the context behind a decision—the reasons that aren’t written in the code. There’s still a need for the kind of judgment that comes from experience. But once you’ve made that call, AI can execute far quicker than you could yourself. “I don’t feel precious about typing that code,” he says. Another upshot of coding with AI is that the Atlas codebase is better-tested than it otherwise would be. Writing unit tests—small pieces of code that check whether a specific part of your software works correctly—is important but tedious. Fisher notes that the team can now just ask Codex to generate them, and it often catches edge cases they didn’t think to specify. “In that regard,” Fisher says, “it’s been a fabulous friend.” What do you use AI for? Have you found any interesting or surprising use cases? We want to hear from you—and we might even interview you. TIMESTAMPS 1. Introduction: 00:01:57 2.

And, by learning and playing with AI every day in-house at Every, we’ve learned a lot along the way about what actually helps people use it well. Now, we’re pulling all of that together for our subscribers. Every Events is a single place to see everything we’re offering: upcoming courses and camps, recordings of past sessions, and the resources that go with them. If you want to learn how to use AI like we do at Every, or in the same way that’s helped leading businesses, this is the place to start. Visit Every Events [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY291cnNlcz9zb3VyY2U9cG9zdF9idXR0b24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9] DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING: CAMPS, DEMO DAYS, COURSES, AND MEETUPS We offer different kinds of events because not all learning needs the same shape. 1-CAMPS: FREE, PRACTICAL, AND COMMUNITY-DRIVEN Camps are live, hands-on sessions for paid Every subscribers. They’re usually an hour long and focused on how we use AI tools in practice, whether that’s spinning up parallel agents in OpenClaw, handling complex engineering tasks in OpenAI’s Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLW9wZW5haS1zLWNvZGV4LWFwcC1nYWlucy1ncm91bmQtb24tY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9], or sharing broader workflows that don’t map neatly to a single product. They’re not polished lectures, as the tools we introduce in these working sessions are often those we’re learning to use and experimenting with at the same time as you. We show you what we’re doing, what’s working, and what’s breaking. If you’re a paid subscriber, you get: 1. Access to all future live camps 2. Recordings of every camp we’ve run 3. Links, GitHub repos, and resources from each session The Events [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY291cnNlcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=] page is where all of that now lives. 2-COURSES: DEEPER, STRUCTURED, AND PAID We’re also launching an in-depth course offering. These are paid courses, separate from your subscription, that go much deeper than a camp ever could. Think multi-hour, carefully designed instruction, an extension of our writing, research, and enterprise training. We’ll be teaching at least one course per month, focused on topics like: 1. Getting the most out of Claude Code 2. Using AI as a writer or designer 3. Building production-ready apps with AI This is the first time we’ve done this in a coordinated, ongoing way, and we’re excited about where it’s headed. 3-DEMO DAYS: A FRONT-ROW SEAT TO AI AT EVERY Where camps teach you the nuts and bolts of how we’re using AI at Every, and courses go deep on getting the most out of tools and models, Demo Days let you see that in action. These are sessions in search of new AI use cases and workflows. Everything from command centers that query company data across a dozen sources, an AI CFO that answers financial questions with full context, and a Pokémon-style visualizer for watching agents work in parallel. These sessions let subscribers in on the process, as our own product builders share what they’re making and how they’re improving our own apps, like Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3JpdGV3aXRoc3BpcmFsLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9] for writing, Sparkle [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbWFrZWl0c3BhcmtsZS5jby8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9] for file organization, Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlci8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9] for emails, and Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW50cm9kdWNpbmcgRXZlcnkgRXZlbnRzIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkzNSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1vbm9sb2d1ZS50by8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9] for dictation.

All I had to do was build the right systems and the right productivity hacks. This evolved into a systematic approach to AI-assisted development that I call compound engineering. It now has 7,000 stars on GitHub, which confirms my belief that this will become the default for how software gets built. THE PHILOSOPHY The core philosophy of compound engineering is that each unit of engineering work should make subsequent units easier—not harder. Most codebases get harder to work with over time because each feature you add injects more complexity. After 10 years, teams spend more time fighting their system than building on it because each new feature is a negotiation with the old ones. Over time, the codebase becomes harder to understand, harder to modify, and harder to trust. Compound engineering flips this on its head. Instead of features adding complexity and fragility, they teach the system new capabilities. Bug fixes eliminate entire categories of future bugs. When they are codified, patterns become tools for future work. Over time, the codebase becomes easier to understand, easier to modify, and easier to trust. THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO COMPOUND ENGINEERING Today, we’re publishing a complete guide to compound engineering on Every. It has everything from a high-level breakdown of compound-engineering principles to low-level implementation details.

Read this for a framework to sharpen your creative edge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT The intentionality engine. I was never someone who tracked things. Every thought or feeling lived inside my head, which is a polite way of saying it lived nowhere. I once had a killer idea for an essay on a walk and vowed that I’d remember it by the time I got home. Of course, I didn’t. This has happened so many times over the past few years that it stopped being funny and started feeling like self-sabotage. I’ve always admired people who kept meticulous journals and developed “second brains” for ideas, but I couldn’t be bothered. Then over the holidays I started using Obsidian [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyLW1vZGVsIENvbWV0aCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MzMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29ic2lkaWFuLm1kLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=], a knowledge management system built on simple markdown files, alongside Claude Code and Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyLW1vZGVsIENvbWV0aCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MzMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21vbm9sb2d1ZS50by8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9], a voice-note app that lets me talk instead of type. What makes this setup special is that every idea links to everything else. A half-formed idea during a walk can link to an essay draft I’ve been chewing on, which connects to a tweet I bookmarked three weeks ago. Over time these separate pieces of information become an intricate web of patterns that start to surface on their own. Courtesy of Ashwin Sharma.

But what started as a way to hold onto ideas has become something more than that. Every day has become a tiny experiment informed by the last: When I know yesterday was a low mood day—because I logged it—I wake up knowing I need to get outside or call a friend. I’m overflowing with intention and focus. There’s another big reason to care about this right now. As AI agents get more powerful, the most important thing you can do is give them context about who you are. These notes aren’t scattered diary entries or half-remembered preferences, but structured, comprehensive self-knowledge. I want my system to know everything about me, because that’s how I’ll get the most from AI. Your personal knowledge base is the training data for your future agent. Obsidian used to intimidate me. I assumed it was for hardcore developers, but vibe coding has made it so accessible that I now can’t imagine life without it. And what it’s really taught me is that when you’re intentional about recording your days, you become intentional about living them.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyLW1vZGVsIENvbWV0aCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MzMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nbHAxZGlnZXN0LmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Now he’s tackling another ubiquitous word in AI discourse: taste. But as he points out, we’re often conflating two very different things when we use it, and understanding how these two interact is crucial if taste is really going to be our edge in an AI-augmented world.

He’s still fickle—one day he’ll want his sloth stuffie, another his dog one—but he’s very much on his way to developing his taste. Taste. As AI tools grow more capable, I keep bumping into this word. Now that these tools can handle much of the execution work, we’re told, now that you can do pretty much anything without prior limitations of skill or experience, taste is the moat, the secret sauce, the difference-maker. “Just add taste.” But when you encounter “taste” in the wild, you might get definitions as varied as the source. It is a “contentious term of frustrating ambiguity,” per fashion and culture writer W. David Marx [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBJcyBUYXN0ZSwgUmVhbGx5PyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MzIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5wZW5ndWlucmFuZG9taG91c2UuY29tL2Jvb2tzLzY1OTU1OC9zdGF0dXMtYW5kLWN1bHR1cmUtYnktdy1kYXZpZC1tYXJ4LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==].

To me, part of the confusion stems from the fact that when we talk about taste, we’re talking about two different forms of it: 1) personal taste and 2) what is considered tasteful or “in good taste.” The two might overlap considerably, but if taste is going to be our edge in this era of AI, we need to first understand how they interact before we can effectively hone that edge.

A TALE OF TWO TASTES My first job out of college was at an ad agency in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood. Picture a sheltered, pimply teenager from the suburban Midwest transplanted into the world’s hotbed of fashion and media tastemakers. I was exhilarated. I was also way out of my league. The agency’s loft office had two long rows of desks with Apple Cinema Displays, at a time when the device maker wasn’t widely used outside of creative fields. Mid- and senior-level graphic designers sat at those desks, beautifying product packaging in Adobe Illustrator, dressed in clothes from brands I didn’t recognize from my local mall back home. Some of those designers became my first friends in the city. Their apartments were filled with mid-century furniture, carefully thrifted ceramics, and eclectic—yet serenely arranged—wall art. They had taste, and I desperately wanted to have it too. I spent my first paychecks on clothing from various SoHo menswear shops and a shiny new MacBook Pro—my first Apple computer. My friend Gino and I opened it in the office, cooing in awe of the pearlescent packaging. YOUR AGGREGATE SELF From this story, you can see both personal taste and tastefulness interacting. The first, personal taste—or very simply, a sense of what you like and don’t like—comes through accumulated experience. My job put me in contact with unfamiliar fashion, art, furniture, and technology products that I could compare against what I’d known before. Some of those choices stuck; others I shed not long after I left. Slowly, I built up my preferences and ultimately, my sense of self. A strong sense of personal taste—and thus a strong sense of self—is a potent filter. When there is an overwhelming array of things to choose from, it operates as an instinct, quickly reducing the number of choices. What’s “not me” is immediately discarded, leaving you to evaluate the rest for what is you. This filter becomes even more necessary as AI opens up choices previously locked behind the doors of time, labor, and technical ability. Personal taste is also a homing beacon. It helps you find others with similar tastes, and helps them find you. Journalist and culture critic Kyle Chayka writes in his book Filterworld that taste “is a word for how we measure culture and judge our relationship to it. If something suits our taste, we feel close to it and identify with it, as well as form relationships with other people based on it.” Which leads us to our second form of taste: “good” taste. GOOD TASTE IS CULTURAL My trying to fit in among my new work colleagues was also about recognizing that they had good taste. This second definition of taste is much slipperier, because it’s cultural. Just as individual persons can have their own likes and dislikes, so can groups of people. Good taste looks different in different cultures, different social groups: In engineering, good taste might be a preference for clean, elegant code, or for elegant coding languages like Ruby. Good taste in film might mean a preference for well-respected, less-mainstream directors like Yashujiro Ozu and Whit Stillman, for foreign cinema on the streaming service Mubi and titles in the Criterion Collection. To W. David Marx, this cultural sense of taste is also bound up in status. Maybe I saw the agency’s designers as having good taste because they were higher up in the organization than me, a junior creative. My mimicry was an attempt to both understand their constellation of choices and claim some of the implied status for myself. Part of this cultural definition unlocked for me through talking with Eleanor Warnock [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCBJcyBUYXN0ZSwgUmVhbGx5PyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MzIsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvdGhlLWhleWRheS1vZi10aGUtd3JpdGluZy1maXJzdC1wcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9], Every’s managing editor. When I asked her for examples of people whom she considered to have good taste, one person she cited was actor and model Julia Fox, whose fearless attitude and mixing of avant-garde and DIY aesthetics spurred a resurgence of Y2K fashion. “She has really good taste for what’s on the money, what is memorable and what is punchy, and a real taste for fashion and drama.” Eleanor said, and then added: “But I don’t agree with her taste.” To put it into our framework: Even though their personal tastes don’t align, Eleanor recognizes that Fox has a distinct sense of taste that, combined with Fox’s celebrity status, is one that larger groups of people want to emulate—and is therefore considered “good taste.” Fox’s personal taste helps define the broader cultural taste from within, like an oboe against which the rest of the orchestra tunes its instruments. She is, in other words, a tastemaker. THE WORK OF DISCERNMENT When people talk about the importance of cultivating taste, or discernment, I take it to mean that in order to differentiate yourself as someone with good taste, or as a tastemaker, you first have to have a clear sense of personal taste. Part of that is accumulating experience—training data, if you will.

We’ve been testing them thoroughly internally on real production use cases, and we’ve come to a conclusion: The models are converging. Opus 4.6 has all of the things we love about 4.5, but with the thorough, precise style that made Codex the go-to for hard-coding tasks. And Codex 5.3 is still a powerful workhorse, but it finally picked up some of Opus's warmth, speed, and willingness to just do things without asking permission. From this, we can only conclude that both labs are moving steadily toward a sort of Ur-coding model: one that's wicked smart, highly technical, and fast, creative, and pleasant to work with. Our top-line takeaways of how the two stack up against each other is available to anyone, with a full analysis available only for subscribers. -->Read the Vibe Check ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/8ghqhohowrdm98tk/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL2NvZGV4LXZzLW9wdXM= ) Read the Vibe Check ( https://every.to/p/codex-vs-opus )Here's what you'll find in the full Vibe Check: * Our high-level take on what both of the models get right * An analysis of which performs better for certain tasks, such as research and planning, long feature builds, and empathy and creativity * The full Reach Test ratings (yes, the green/yellow/red scores) from Cora ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/vqh3hrhomw0zg5cg/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLw== ) general manager Kieran Klaassen ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/l2hehmhlqx28w5s6/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2llcmFuXzEzNTU= ), Monologue ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/m2h7h5h3245dwgum/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubW9ub2xvZ3VlLnRvLw== ) general manager Naveen Naidu ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/dpheh0hedp6lrocm/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbmF2ZWVuXzY4MDQ= ), staff writer and AI editorial lead Katie Parrott ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/e0hph7h7mrv85et8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0aWUucGFycm90dDEy ), lead engineer Andrey Galko ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/7qh7h8h9dnlr3paz/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGV2dHdv ), and CEO Dan Shipper ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/owhkhqhwxq9257bv/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AZGFuc2hpcHBlcg== ) * A set of internal benchmarks we created to test the models on tasks of increasing difficulty Join us this afternoon for a livestream ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/r8ux9xlw4duoh347rkls2hdnn8n66s7ho48p4/z2hghnhe5l6q0dhp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1kOFFyRXpLaFVJSQ== ) with Every’s team about our takeaways from testing, available to anyone.

The first is simple but non-negotiable: Leadership must be all in. “For AI to be a high-leverage tool at any given company, it needs to come from the top down,” she says. This is fundamentally different from how companies have historically adopted software, where company technology chiefs might just purchase a software program with the hope that employees use it, Natalia explains. Dan agrees. He says the companies going the furthest have CEOs deep in ChatGPT and Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBFdmVyeSdzIEhlYWQgb2YgQ29uc3VsdGluZyBKdXN0IEF1dG9tYXRlZCBIZXIgSm9iIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkyNiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvaG93LWktdXNlLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlLXRvLXNoaXAtbGlrZS1hLXRlYW0tb2YtZml2ZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=].

He says that an organization’s ability to adapt AI is directly correlated with its chief executive’s AI skills: “You will probably go as far as your CEO has gone. It’s not something the CEO can delegate.” 2-THEY EMPOWER AI EARLY ADOPTERS The second critical pattern that Natalia and Dan see among successful adopters of AI is that those companies identify and empower internal AI champions. “Inside of any organization, there are people who are just natural early adopters,” Shipper notes. “Your job as an executive who’s leading your org is to identify those people and spread what they know and elevate their status so that they can pave the way for everyone else.” One of Natalia most striking examples of this in practice comes from an Every client in the private equity industry. Natalia worked closely with Jonathan, a partner at the firm who not only has technical knowledge of AI but also understands the people dynamics around AI. By this, she means that he understands that AI adoption diverges across teams in an organization, depending on how much capacity and support they have to experiment with new technologies. This is a unique combination of skills, she says. Natalia and Every’s consulting team worked with Jonathan as he sat down with every investor at his firm and mapped out all the tasks they performed—from research to diligence to market mapping to portfolio management—in granular detail. This kind of mapping [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBFdmVyeSdzIEhlYWQgb2YgQ29uc3VsdGluZyBKdXN0IEF1dG9tYXRlZCBIZXIgSm9iIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkyNiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vb24tZXZlcnkvdGhlLW5leHQtY2hhcHRlci1vZi1ldmVyeS1jb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==] is one of the key steps in determining what tasks can be automated with AI and how. This helped Every and the client build “a very, very detailed view of what it looks like at this firm for an investor to do their job,” Quintero explains. They then identified high-leverage opportunities to apply AI to those specific workflows. One of the most time-consuming tasks for the private equity client was sifting through investment thesis materials they’d collected for over a decade to apply their current investment strategy to potential new opportunities. By connecting the right sources of data to ChatGPT and then funneling it through a set of custom prompts, they were able to produce a solid draft of an investment memo in 30 minutes compared to a previous time frame of three weeks. “That’s only possible when you have someone on the inside who understands all of the elements,” she says. 3-THEY GIVE PEOPLE CREATIVE SPACE TO EXPERIMENT The private equity example also underlines another common pattern in successful AI adoption: Employees and leadership need to have the space to “play” with the technology. “Having that creative space is very, very counterintuitive to the way that we usually work,” Natalia says, referring to knowledge workers. “How much of our time is really spent in traditional jobs just figuring out if there’s a new way to do things?” Natalia fell into the very trap she often sees with clients at the end of last year.

Claudie has access to Google Workspace tools, which enables it to handle a variety of project management-based tasks, including onboarding new clients, conducting quality checks on collected data, and providing weekly updates on what’s going on with clients. With Claudie, Natalia’s weekly project management workload has been cut down from 15 hours to one. But getting there took several iterations. “We got 85 percent of the way there three times and then had to scrap it and start again to get to a new framework that actually got us to 100 percent,” she says. The Claudie system includes a detailed “job description” that Claudie reads every time it’s asked to do something—defining where it works, what its job is, what good work looks like, who it reports to, and who its colleagues are. But it can still make mistakes, says Natalia, so you have to teach the system to rectify its errors by making sure Claudie has access to sufficient information. “This is the same way you would build a relationship with any new staff member that you would bring on board,” she says. “You’re really building and cementing that relationship, and you’re also investing in that relationship.” Companies that give people risk-free space to try new technology, learn its ins and outs, and fail without getting behind in their jobs are the ones where people can eventually achieve that breakthrough moment.

It’s not a big leap to believe that improvement in one game could boost the model’s performance on others. But how does understanding WWI strategy make a model better at helping someone change their airline reservation or monitor equipment? Simple: Games reward specific behaviors. When you get good at those behaviors, they show up elsewhere. When I asked my colleagues at Every what games had taught them, everyone had similar experiences. “StarCraft taught me how to cook,” Every’s head of platform Willie Williams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgVHJhaW5lZCBhbiBBSSBvbiBhIEJvYXJkIEdhbWUuIEl0IEJlY2FtZSBhIEJldHRlciBDdXN0b21lciBTdXBwb3J0IEFnZW50LiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MjUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2JpZ3dpbGxpZXN0eWxlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==] tells me, recalling the high-speed chess-like game. “You have things that take different amounts of time, and you want them to land at the same time.” Our senior designer, Daniel Rodrigues, learned English from Pokémon before any classroom. AI editorial lead Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgVHJhaW5lZCBhbiBBSSBvbiBhIEJvYXJkIEdhbWUuIEl0IEJlY2FtZSBhIEJldHRlciBDdXN0b21lciBTdXBwb3J0IEFnZW50LiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MjUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9] became a more systematic thinker from board game mechanics and applied it to designing AI workflows. This transfer of skills from games to other domains works for AI, too—and we can measure it. Diplomacy trains context-tracking, shifting priorities, and strategic communication. Customer support, where information is often incomplete and requests shift, needs the same capabilities. We trained our model on Diplomacy in a reinforcement learning environment where you can clearly score whether the AI did something right. Labs are racing to build these kinds of environments because they do something that feeding the models static data can’t: They give models feedback on their decisions, teaching them to strategize, not just recall facts. When you train a model on text from the internet, it learns to predict words. If you train it in an environment with goals and feedback, the model starts to develop skills that look remarkably like strategy. It’s a glimpse of where AI training is headed: less scraping the web, more learning by doing. When fine-tuned in the Diplomacy learning environment, the Qwen 235B model improved significantly on certain benchmarks unrelated to gameplay. (Graph courtesy of Alex Duffy.)

Diplomacy rewards tracking context, planning responses, and navigating shifting alliances—exactly the capabilities with which labs like Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind are trying to imbue their models. It’s also why Arcee, a U.S.-based AI lab that develops open-source models, is using our Diplomacy environment to train its Trinity models. That includes its 400 billion parameter flagship Trinity Large [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgVHJhaW5lZCBhbiBBSSBvbiBhIEJvYXJkIEdhbWUuIEl0IEJlY2FtZSBhIEJldHRlciBDdXN0b21lciBTdXBwb3J0IEFnZW50LiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MjUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hcmNlZS5haS9ibG9nL3RyaW5pdHktbGFyZ2UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9] models, one of the largest open-source model families from an American lab. Because it’s open-source, people can build on top of it, adapt it to their problems, and make it better for everyone else. What Arcee and other labs are betting on is a second additional way to improve AI—not by making models bigger, but by training them differently after they’re built. Instead of just feeding them more text to read, they’re putting models in game-like situations where they practice tasks, get feedback on what worked, and develop skills they can apply elsewhere. The next big leap will come by combining learning by doing with ingesting more data. AI researcher Andrej Karpathy put it this way [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgVHJhaW5lZCBhbiBBSSBvbiBhIEJvYXJkIEdhbWUuIEl0IEJlY2FtZSBhIEJldHRlciBDdXN0b21lciBTdXBwb3J0IEFnZW50LiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MjUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2thcnBhdGh5LmJlYXJibG9nLmRldi95ZWFyLWluLXJldmlldy0yMDI1LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=]: By training models in multiple games and tasks where you can score success, what are known as verifiable tasks, “the LLMs spontaneously develop strategies that look like ‘reasoning’ to humans.” The environment becomes the models’ curriculum, and whoever designs that curriculum shapes what the model becomes good at and how. THE GAME IS ALSO THE EXAM But games don’t just train models; they generate data no one else has. Our AI agents have played hundreds of thousands of rounds of the party game Bad Cards alongside 2 million real users. In the game, players get a prompt—something like, “What’s the secret ingredient in Grandma’s cookies?”—and compete to submit the funniest answer. Our agents pick punchlines and learn from the votes, generating data that shows people’s preferences for humor shift over time. That’s data that can’t be scraped from anywhere on the internet. What users want from AI shifts faster than tests can measure, so static benchmarks become outdated quickly. Crowdsourced benchmarking project LM Arena just raised [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgVHJhaW5lZCBhbiBBSSBvbiBhIEJvYXJkIEdhbWUuIEl0IEJlY2FtZSBhIEJldHRlciBDdXN0b21lciBTdXBwb3J0IEFnZW50LiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MjUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL25ld3MubG1hcmVuYS5haS9zZXJpZXMtYS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9] $150 million on this premise: The team is building an open platform for anyone to evaluate AI models by collecting feedback from human beings at scale. Games are a natural fit for this continuous evaluation. They generate large amounts of data about real preferences, continuously refreshed. As more people interact with AI through play, they learn how these tools work, but their feedback—on what’s funny, for example—makes the next model better. FROM STARCRAFT TO THE FRYING PAN Willie didn’t set out to learn cooking from StarCraft—he was trying to win. But the skills he learned showed up in his kitchen anyway. AI development is exhibiting the same pattern. If you set a clear goal, the skills to reach it will follow. Only people can define what those goals should be: what counts as a good decision, what’s funny, and what matters. That’s subjective, inherently human work. Games are where we focus because they turn fuzzy goals into scorable outcomes—exactly what models need to learn. Diplomacy is just one game among thousands. Each one teaches something different, and we’re just beginning to discover what translates—how war strategy can help customers, or when science-fiction video game skills will show up in the kitchen. We’re off to a good start. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Duffy is the cofounder and CEO of Good Start Labs [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgVHJhaW5lZCBhbiBBSSBvbiBhIEJvYXJkIEdhbWUuIEl0IEJlY2FtZSBhIEJldHRlciBDdXN0b21lciBTdXBwb3J0IEFnZW50LiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MjUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dvb2RzdGFydGxhYnMuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=], and a contributing writer.

What we’ve learned has reshaped how we think about AI adoption—and what it takes to get results. When we started, we noticed that something fundamental was missing in how professionals were using AI. These tools had drastically improved our own productivity across the editorial, product, and consulting teams, from synthesizing notes and automating meeting actions to extracting value from messy data. But the companies reaching out to us were at a loss for where to get started, or whether AI would even be worth the effort. So we decided to share what we’d learned from using AI every day. We took on a small group of clients in finance, media, and tech to help them implement AI in their workflows. A year later, we’ve spoken to over 100 companies [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE5leHQgQ2hhcHRlciBvZiBFdmVyeSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC9pLXRhbGtlZC10by1tb3JlLXRoYW4tMTAwLWNvbXBhbmllcy1hYm91dC1haS1oZXJlLXMtd2hhdC1zLWFjdHVhbGx5LXdvcmtpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9] about their needs and frustrations, and have worked closely with nearly two dozen organizations. The practices we’ve been teaching have changed as fast as the tech. A year ago, our training focused on prompt engineering, engineering inside of the ChatGPT user interface, and developing robust Projects that referenced up to 20 documents. Now, while those principles and features are still important, they feel ancient. Today, we’re building custom plugins that connect AI to proprietary data, teaching teams to use Claude Code for end-to-end automation, and deploying agents that run entire workflows without human intervention.

THE FOUR LEVELS OF AI MATURITY Many assume that successful AI implementation requires jumping straight from zero to full automation. Even partial automation can deliver incredible productivity gains. I grade our clients on a spectrum of automatability—how much benefit a company can get from AI. This doesn’t mean replacing jobs. More often, it entails adding capacity to existing employees by automating well-defined tasks and repetitive workflows using documents and data. And as we have more easily-defined tasks, repetitive workflows, and data handy, they move up the learning curve. Here is how we see the different maturities of AI usage across organizations: LEVEL 1: CHATGPT FOR TASKS You’re using ChatGPT or Claude mainly in chat. You summarize things, write drafts, or generate ideas. You use it almost as a Google Search replacement. (This is a great start, but if this is you, you’re just scratching the surface. Often people stuck at level 1 don’t realize the tasks that they could automate. It’s hard to identify problems to be solved when you live with them every day.) LEVEL 2: CUSTOM AGENTS—AI TAILORED TO WORKFLOWS—WITH PERMISSIONS You’ve built some custom prompts or GPTs for recurring tasks. You’re still asking them to confirm what they’re doing. You feel like you’re managing a junior intern. LEVEL 3: CUSTOM AGENT DOES A DEFINED JOB Your custom agent no longer asks for permissions. It performs complex tasks like research, data analysis, and project management. The agent can do multiple tasks simultaneously. LEVEL 4: CUSTOM AGENT IS YOUR SCREEN The custom agent takes over your development environment, and is all you see. Instead of looking at your inbox or Google Docs, you’re working completely from an environment like Claude or Claude Code You leverage AI skills, have a cross-team GitHub repository to which non-technical team members contribute, and do very little of the “work” that you used to do. Even in just the past few months, it has gotten easier for people with no prior technical experience to use agents, which should accelerate adoption. Most companies are still at level one, but want help getting to level four. AI usage is a skill, and like with any skill, it takes time. Companies or teams at level four are rare. They embrace experimentation and often operate in small, nimble environments where they are not bound by the compliance that exists in large companies. It’s also not always obvious which teams to start with in any given company. NO TWO INDUSTRIES ARE THE SAME Each industry concentrates its highest value work in different departments. In tech, this work often sits with the engineers. In a financial firm, it’s the investors. But the best AI implementation plan doesn’t always start there. In one fast-growing hedge fund, we found that enabling the back office— compliance, operations, recruiting, and administrative teams—with AI would provide the biggest gains. The company was scaling rapidly, and back-office bottlenecks were limiting how quickly the front office could grow. Additionally, every industry has different levels of documentation [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE5leHQgQ2hhcHRlciBvZiBFdmVyeSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC9pLXRhbGtlZC10by1tb3JlLXRoYW4tMTAwLWNvbXBhbmllcy1hYm91dC1haS1oZXJlLXMtd2hhdC1zLWFjdHVhbGx5LXdvcmtpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9], which determines what can be automated. Tasks that can be documented—like generating a report from data—are easy to automate. Tasks that can’t—like deciding what makes a good investment—resist it. Here are a few of the tasks that we have automated across different roles and industries: Investment professionals: One hedge fund client wrote out its investment philosophy—what they care about and how they evaluate companies—as a structured skill. Using our compound engineering plugin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE5leHQgQ2hhcHRlciBvZiBFdmVyeSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1ob3ctZXZlcnktY29kZXMtd2l0aC1hZ2VudHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9], they now screen companies and analyze earnings transcripts, financial statements, web data, and regulatory filings in parallel, producing a coherent investment report in minutes. The same work previously took a week. Researchers and analysts: We have helped investors at private equity firms automate creating investment memos. With the right inputs—documented processes and proprietary data—AI turns two weeks of analysis into a few hours. Using Claude Code and custom skills that encode their investment criteria, analysts can now pull data from multiple sources, run preliminary analysis, and generate draft memos automatically. Content teams: We built one of the largest media companies in the world a Claude Skill a tool that captures their brand voice, taking rough drafts to editor-approved copy in minutes. Product teams: Product teams want to automate sorting through user feedback, spotting feature requests, and organizing scattered meeting notes. Plus, when they can quickly vibe code throwaway prototypes to “show rather than tell” what needs to be built, engineering teams have an easier time building and shipping products. With Claude Code and compound engineering, even non-technical product managers can build working prototypes and automate the grunt work of feedback synthesis. Most importantly, success looks different for each company. For example, our work with a 70-person recruiting firm has saved recruiters five to 10 hours per person, per week. Meanwhile, an investment firm is saving 50 hours per investment memo. In each case, effective AI implementation solves a painful, time-consuming problem. Documenting the tedious, time-consuming tasks that are also high-value is the best way to start. THE ONLY CONSULTANCY WORKING WITH FINANCE AND TECH FIRMS We’ve chosen to focus exclusively on finance and technology firms [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE5leHQgQ2hhcHRlciBvZiBFdmVyeSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=]—industries where the data is rich, the stakes are high, and the potential return on investment from AI implementation is enormous.

In 90 minutes, he'll walk you through his setup and show you how to build your own. Here's what we'll cover: * Getting OpenClaw installed: We'll walk through the setup process step-by-step so you leave with a working system. * The use cases we've found most valuable: What the Every team has been doing with OpenClaw, and what practices we're sticking with. * Nat's multi-agent setup: How he uses OpenClaw to manage projects, spin up parallel coding agents, and maintain persistent memory across sessions. * The gaps (and what's next): Where OpenClaw falls short today and what the future of always-on AI assistants looks like. We'll demo real workflows, share our findings, and open the floor for a live Q&A. -->Upgrade and RSVP ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdu2g23lnwc7h4z77g2slh8ddxdkkc4hopgxp/p8heh9h4rwk8w5uq/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb3Vyc2VzL29wZW5jbGF3LWNhbXAvcHVyY2hhc2U= ) Upgrade and RSVP ( https://every.to/courses/openclaw-camp/purchase )This event is exclusively for paid subscribers.

At last week’s edition, with 13 Every team members in a Panama beach house and a few envious colleagues Zooming in from afar, the theme was “Give yourself a promotion.” The challenge was to figure out how to hand off parts of your job to AI agents: Build the systems and see what works—and what breaks. We broke a lot of things. We came back with working tools, some nasty token bills, and a handful of principles I’ll be thinking about for the foreseeable future: 1. Start small, then build from there. The instinct is to go big—automate the whole workflow, build the dream system. The people who made real progress started by picking one annoying task and fixing it. One data source connected. One report automated. One loop closed. The flashy demos came later. 2. You’re now three people. Working with AI agents means you’re not just doing your job anymore. You’re also a product manager (What’s actually worth building?) and a boss [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR2l2ZSBZb3Vyc2VsZiBhIFByb21vdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2Fsc28tdHJ1ZS1mb3ItaHVtYW5zL3doYXQtYWktaXMtdGVhY2hpbmctdXMtYWJvdXQtbWFuYWdlbWVudCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==] (How do I communicate with this thing?). That’s why “Just automate it” feels harder than expected—you’re learning two new roles while doing your old one. 3. Spot the translation layers. Here’s a useful heuristic: If information lives in one place and needs to end up in another, and you’re currently the connector—that’s where agents can help. Most knowledge work, it turns out, is translation: growth data to dashboards, tweets to replies, user behavior to email campaigns. Once you see the translation layers, you know where to point the automation. 4. If you get stuck, ask the AI. It sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget. When something isn’t working, when you don’t understand what’s happening, when the jargon stops making sense—just ask. Screenshot your screen and say “What’s going on here?” The best debugging partner is already in the conversation. On the last day, we held Demo Day, a live session where a half-dozen team members showed what they’d built: command centers that query company data across a dozen sources, real-time user cohorts generated from behavioral data, an AI CFO that answers financial questions with full context, tools for analyzing your own taste in writing, and a Pokémon-style visualizer for watching agents work in parallel. Some of it will ship. Some of it won’t. But all of it is data that we (and our AI agents) can use to point us toward what comes next.—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR2l2ZSBZb3Vyc2VsZiBhIFByb21vdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=] You can watch an excerpt from Demo Day on YouTube [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR2l2ZSBZb3Vyc2VsZiBhIFByb21vdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PVNtYWEyOENLTXNZIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ==].

Claude Code opened 100 percent of his pull requests. His monitor looked like mission control. His message: Stop thinking about files and functions; start thinking about outcomes and delegation. Read this for the full workflow and custom commands that makes his two-person team punch way above its weight. “My AI Had Already Fixed the Code Before I Saw It” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR2l2ZSBZb3Vyc2VsZiBhIFByb21vdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL215LWFpLWhhZC1hbHJlYWR5LWZpeGVkLXRoZS1jb2RlLWJlZm9yZS1pLXNhdy1pdC1mNGEyOWEwNy1lYTk1LTQwOWYtYmNiMi00ODdhOTcwYmVkNGEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9]: Before Kieran opened his laptop, Claude Code had already reviewed his pull request—citing three months of prior feedback by PR number. There was no prompting; it had absorbed his preferences like a sharp new teammate. This is compounding engineering: building self-improving systems where every bug becomes a permanent lesson and every code review updates the defaults.

Why plan for an hour when you could vibe code for five minutes? Because that five minutes often costs three hours debugging—and teaches the system nothing. Kieran introduces a framework he calls “three fidelities”: quick fixes, the sweet spot where planning yields massive ROI, and big uncertain projects that need “vibe planning.” The key insight: Code teaches AI how to solve one problem; plans teach it how to think. Read this to learn when to prototype and when to plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT The vocabulary of friendship. I started using Claude Code in the terminal about a month ago and as a nontechnical person, it felt like entering the Matrix. This was a stark, intimidating space where serious people do serious things, all black with white text and no friendly buttons or colorful interfaces to hold your hand. The terminal is, I think, the loneliest place in software, and I was nervous about being there. Then I prompted Claude, and while it was working, a single word appeared: Spelunking. I remember thinking, Wait, what? Spelunking? I felt a sigh of relief that maybe I’m allowed to be a nontechnical person fumbling around in the terminal after all. That one word—playful, unexpected, slightly absurd—was like watching a flower bloom in a barren desert. The verbs show up while Claude thinks—where other software would say “Processing” or “Loading” or just show you a spinning wheel that tells you nothing, Claude says Noodling and Moseying and Vibing and Discombobulating. These aren’t enterprise-friendly words and they’re not the kind of language you’d expect from AI software. And something changes very subtly when you see them, something I didn’t expect. You stop waiting for Claude and start imagining with Claude. When I see “Spelunking,” I picture little agents with headlamps crawling through my codebase and exploring dark corners, and when I see “Marinating,” I imagine ideas slowly developing like flavors combining in a pot, and the whole black box of what’s happening in there becomes a story I’m somehow co-authoring in my head. The strangest part is it makes me want to be nicer to Claude, which sounds ridiculous but is true. The playfulness invites reciprocity. When something treats you with warmth and whimsy, you respond in kind. I type “thank you” more often; I’m patient when things take a while, and I feel like we’re genuinely collaborating. I’m not just commanding a tool to do things for me. I think this is what humanized AI interaction actually looks like. It’s not a chatbot pretending to have feelings or an avatar with a friendly face or any of the more obvious approaches to making technology feel warm. It’s delightful verbs, rotating in a terminal at 3 a.m. when I’m alone with some stubborn problem. It’s smooshing.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR2l2ZSBZb3Vyc2VsZiBhIFByb21vdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5nbHAxZGlnZXN0LmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

This is a question we’ve had to confront head-on at Every as AI coding has become so powerful [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stb3B1cy00LTUtaXMtdGhlLWNvZGluZy1tb2RlbC13ZS12ZS1iZWVuLXdhaXRpbmctZm9yIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==]. Nobody is writing code manually. It feels weird to be typing code into your computer or staring at a blinking cursor in a code editor. So much of engineering until now assumed that coding is hard and engineers are scarce. Removing those bottlenecks makes traditional engineering practices—like manually writing tests, or laboriously typing human readable code with lots of documentation—feel slow and outdated. In order to deal with these new powers and changing constraints, we’ve created a new style of engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9teS1haS1oYWQtYWxyZWFkeS1maXhlZC10aGUtY29kZS1iZWZvcmUtaS1zYXctaXQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9] at Every that we call compound engineering. In traditional engineering, you expect each feature to make the next feature harder to build—more code means more edge cases, more interdependencies, and more issues that are hard to anticipate. By contrast, in compound engineering, you expect each feature to make the next feature easier to build. This is because compound engineering creates a learning loop for your agents and members of your team, so that each bug, failed test, or a-ha problem-solving insight gets documented and used by future agents. The complexity of your codebase still grows, but now so does the AI’s knowledge of it, which makes future development work faster. And it works. We run five software products in-house (and are incubating a few more), each of which is primarily built and run by a single person. These products are used by thousands of people every day for important work—they’re not just nice demos. This shift has huge implications for how software is built at every company, and how ambitious and productive every developer can be: Today, if your AI is used right, a single developer can do the work of five developers a few years ago, based on our experience at Every. They just need a good system to harness its power. The rest of this piece will give you a high-level sense of how we practice compound engineering inside of Every. By the time you’re done, you should be able to start doing the basics yourself—and you’ll be primed to go much deeper.

COMPOUND ENGINEERING LOOP A compound engineer orchestrates agents running in parallel, who plan, write, and evaluate code. This process happens in a loop that looks like this: 1. Plan: Agents read issues, research approaches, and synthesize information into detailed implementation plans. 2. Work: Agents write code and create tests according to those plans. 3. Review: The engineer reviews the output itself and the lessons learned from the output. 4. Compound: The engineer feeds the results back into the system, where they make the next loop better by helping the whole system learn from successes and failures. This is where the magic happens.

Roughly 80 percent of compound engineering is in the plan and review parts, while 20 percent is in the work and compound. Let’s dive in. 1. PLAN In a world where agents are writing all of your code, planning is where most of a developer’s time is spent. A good plan starts with research: We ask the agent to look through the current codebase and its commit history [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaGF0Z3B0LmNvbS9zaGFyZS82OTNhZGNhNC1hZjI0LTgwMTItYWZjNi04ZWM1ZTkxNDZiZTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9] https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaGF0Z3B0LmNvbS9zaGFyZS82OTNhZGNhNC1hZjI0LTgwMTItYWZjNi04ZWM1ZTkxNDZiZTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9to understand the codebase’s structure, existing best practices, and how it was built. We also ask it to scour the internet for best practices relevant to the problem we’re trying to solve. That way when we begin to plan the agent is primed to do good work. Once the research is complete, the agent writes a plan. Usually this is a text document that lives either as a file on your computer or an issue on Github [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaGF0Z3B0LmNvbS9zaGFyZS82OTNhZGQxYi1kZDRjLTgwMDEtOWU4Zi1kYjJmZTliMTJiYWIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjJ9]. The plan lays out everything: the objective of the feature, the proposed architecture, specific ideas for how the code might be written, a list of sources for its research, and success criteria.

(Image courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.) Planning helps build a shared mental model between you and the agent for exactly what you’re building, before you build it. Good planning is not pure delegation—it requires the developer to think hard and be creative in order to push the agent down the right paths. As models get better, especially with small projects, you have to plan less and less—the agent just gets what you want, or maybe does something surprising but good. With complex production projects, though, a good plan is an essential part of building high-quality software that works as you expect. Once you have a good plan, the hard part is almost over. 2. WORK This is the easiest step because it’s so simple: You just tell the agent to start working. The agent will take your plan, turn it into a to-do list, and build step-by-step. One of the most important tricks for this step is using a model context protocol like Playwright or XcodeBuildMCP. These are tools that allow the agent to use your web app or simulate use on a phone as it’s being built, as if it were one of your users. So it will write some code, walk through the app and notice issues, and then modify the code and repeat until it’s done. This is especially good for design tasks and workflows because it can iterate on a prototype until it looks like the design. With the latest generation of agents like Opus 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2stb3B1cy00LTUtaXMtdGhlLWNvZGluZy1tb2RlbC13ZS12ZS1iZWVuLXdhaXRpbmctZm9yIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI0fQ==], what comes out of the work phase is much more likely to be functional and error-free, and is often actually pretty close to what you envisioned, especially if your plan was well-written. But even good output needs to be checked, and that’s what we do in the next step. 3. ASSESS In the assessment step, we ask the agent to review its own work, and we review the work too. This can take many forms: We use traditional developer tools like linters and unit tests [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaGF0Z3B0LmNvbS9zaGFyZS82OTNhZDMwZS03MWZjLTgwMTItYTg1OS00YzllMDA4MjRiNzkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9] to find basic errors, and we test manually to sanity-check what was built. We also use automatic code review agents like Claude, Codex, Friday, and Charlie to spot-check the code for common issues. The latest AI makes the assess step even more powerful. Our compound engineering plugin, for example, reviews code in parallel with 12 subagents that each check it from a different perspective. One looks for common security issues, another checks for common performance issues, another looks at it to see if anything was overbuilt, so software isn’t bloated or too complex. All of these different perspectives are synthesized and presented so that the developer can decide what needs to be fixed and what can be ignored. The real power of compound engineering happens in the next step—where we make sure we never encounter the same problems again. 4. COMPOUND This is the money step. We take what we learned in any of the previous steps—bugs, potential performance issues, new ways of solving particular problems—and record them so that the agent can use them next time. This is what makes compounding happen in compound engineering. For example, in the codebase for Every’s AI email assistant Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcG91bmQgRW5naW5lZXJpbmc6IEhvdyBFdmVyeSBDb2RlcyBXaXRoIEFnZW50cyAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=], before building anything new, the agent has to ask itself: Where does this belong in the system? Should it be added to something that already exists, or does it need its own new thing? Have we solved a similar problem before that we can reuse? These questions come with specific technical examples from mistakes we’ve made in the past that prime the agent to find the right solution at the right place in the codebase. These rules are built up in a mostly automated fashion. After we do a code review, for example, we’ll ask the agent to look at the comments, summarize them, and store them for later. The latest models are smart enough to do all of this with very little extra instruction—and they’re also smart enough to actually use it the next time. The beauty of this is that these learnings are also automatically distributed to the team. Because they get written down as prompts that live inside of your codebase or in plugins like ours, every developer on your team gets them for free. Everyone becomes more productive: A new hire who’s never been in the codebase before is as well-armed to avoid common mistakes as someone who’s been on the team for a long time. COMPOUND ENGINEERING: LOOKING AND LEARNING AHEAD This is just a basic overview of compound engineering—each one of these steps can and often is its own article. We have also not addressed some of the constraints that still exist with this new way of producing software—namely, how fast a developer can decide what they want to build, process and improve a plan, and describe what good looks like. We are still just scratching the surface of the possibilities of compound engineering and its broader implications. Manually writing tests or writing human-readable code with lots of documentation is now unnecessary. So is asking an engineering candidate to code without access to the internet, or expecting it to take weeks for new hires to commit code. And so is being locked into a particular platform or technology because the legacy code is too hard to understand, and replatforming would be too expensive. We’re excited to write more about what this new way of engineering unlocks.

I created a research agent to plan instead. I thought this would be an easy feature. Bulk archive 53,000 emails—how hard could it be? I asked the research agent to analyze our own bulk operation patterns, check API limits for mass actions, and propose three implementation approaches with tradeoffs. Twenty minutes later, it came back with a reality check: Gmail rate limits would kill us at 2,000 emails, our system would timeout on long operations, and the user would have to wait too long for the result. I thought it would be a quick feature, but it turned into a three-day architectural challenge. Planning had saved me from wasting time building the wrong thing entirely. You can avoid building the wrong thing, too. I’ll show you the concrete tactics that turn a planning philosophy into working systems, starting with how to run parallel research operations that teach your AI how you think. Look out for Github links throughout the article—I’ve added them so you can copy and adapt the exact agents and commands I use, rather than building everything from scratch.

THE EIGHT PLANNING STRATEGIES When you’re planning with AI, you’re running parallel research operations—each one a specialized agent gathering different kinds of knowledge. Then you work together: The agents bring findings, you make decisions, and together you combine and distill everything into one coherent plan. It’s much faster for five agents to research in parallel than for a human to plan step by step. Your contribution to the process is taste, judgment, and context about what matters for your product and users. I use eight research strategies, depending on the fidelity level, which refers to the degree of difficulty. Fidelity One is quick fixes like one-line changes, obvious bugs, and copy updates. Fidelity Two covers features spanning multiple files with clear scope but non-obvious implementation. Fidelity Three covers major features where you don’t even know what you’re building yet. STRATEGY 1: REPRODUCE AND DOCUMENT What it does: Attempts to reproduce bugs or issues before planning fixes When to use it: Fidelity One and Two, especially bug fixes The agent’s job: Create a step-by-step reproduction guide Prompt: “Reproduce this bug, don’t fix it, just gather all the logs and info you need.” Right after the launch of Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGVhY2ggWW91ciBBSSB0byBUaGluayBMaWtlIGEgU2VuaW9yIEVuZ2luZWVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlci8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9]’s email bankruptcy feature [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGVhY2ggWW91ciBBSSB0byBUaGluayBMaWtlIGEgU2VuaW9yIEVuZ2luZWVyIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlci9kZWNsYXJlLWVtYWlsLWJhbmtydXB0Y3k_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1ldmVyeV9iYW5uZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9], 19 users were stuck. They’d clicked “archive everything,” but the job failed. Instead of guessing the reason for the problem, I told Claude Code: “Loop through the AppSignal logs and diagnose this.” (AppSignal logs are our error tracking system that records what goes wrong in production.) Five minutes later, I had a reply: Rate limit errors were being swallowed in production. The job hit Gmail’s limit, failed silently, and never resumed. Users would click “archive everything,” see a loading spinner, and wait forever—because when one batch failed, the entire job stopped, but we never told the user. That reproduction showed we needed batch processing and job resumption, not just retries. The agent reproduced the bug, found the root cause in production logs (records of what's happening on the live site users interact with), and documented everything automatically.

How to make this compound: To make sure that this issue wouldn’t happen in the future, I updated my @kieran-rails-reviewer agent—one of the specialized reviewers that automatically checks plans and code as part of my compounding engineering flow. I added to its checklist: “For any background job that calls external APIs—does it handle rate limits? Does it retry? Does it leave users in partial states?” We forgot to retry once. The system won’t let us forget again.

I’ve also used this for non-technical decisions: “SaaS pricing tiers best practices” returned frameworks for structuring pricing plans. “Email drip campaign conversion copy” found proven email templates. “Background job retry strategies” surfaced patterns in how other companies solved that problem at scale.

Next time a similar question comes up, the agent checks these documents first before searching the web. My knowledge base is constantly growing and improving.

In this piece, Kieran argues that the best thing you can do to improve your AI-assisted coding is to plan. He introduces a framework for deciding when to plan versus when to prototype, and gives a real example of how one hour of planning saved days of debugging when he wanted to turn some design plans in Figma into a product. So take that extra hour and plan.

Planning used to be a non-negotiable part of the work: sketching screens, prototyping flows, and writing problem statements. You had to define the scope—what’s in, what’s out, what’s too ambitious, and what solves the problem. Good planning required good thinking, good writing, and collaboration between stakeholders. It was slow, but it prevented expensive mistakes. When vibe coding [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3RvcCBDb2RpbmcgYW5kIFN0YXJ0IFBsYW5uaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvaS1yZWJ1aWx0LXNwYXJrbGUtaW4tMTQtZGF5cy13aXRoLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9] emerged, planning went out the window—at first. Why spend an hour planning when you could spend five minutes building the feature? I did it, too. “Make this feature work” was my entire instruction. Sometimes it worked. Often it didn’t. When it didn’t, I’d spend three hours debugging an error that a 10-minute session—asking AI to create a clear outline of the problem and the research needed to build a solution—would have prevented. And I’d be starting from zero with each feature I shipped, instead of the AI improving with each request. When you vibe code, you prompt, “Add email validation to the signup form,” and hope the AI takes the right route. When you plan with AI, you write: “Research how we handle validation elsewhere in the codebase, check if our email library has built-in validation, look up best practices for user-friendly error messages, then create a plan showing three approaches with tradeoffs.” One approach ships a feature. The other ships a feature and teaches the system how you think for next time. Get this right, and the system learns from every plan. Let me show you how.

Now I had to build it. As recently as early 2025, that would have meant: Hook up the Figma MCP plugin (a tool that connects design files to code), watch it produce something vaguely related to the design but mostly ugly, then spend the weekend manually fixing it—squinting at measurements, guessing at spacing, writing HTML, refreshing the browser, noticing it’s wrong, adjusting, repeating. Days of work and frustration. This time, instead of coding all weekend, I spent one hour that saved me days. I created an AI agent with one job: Take a Figma design screenshot, analyze how to implement it, and output a detailed plan grounded in our patterns, components, and way of building. My agent analyzed the Figma design and produced this implementation plan, automatically stored in GitHub. (All screenshots courtesy of the author.)

(All screenshots courtesy of the author.) Once the plan was complete, I added a second agent to review the work: Compare the Figma screenshot to what got built using Puppeteer (a tool that automatically captures screenshots of web interfaces), note every difference, and keep iterating until they match. Because the plan was clear and detailed, the review agent could focus entirely on execution, instead of trying to figure out what we were even building. I got five screens, pixel-perfect, including mobile layouts that were never even designed for. The plan guided the work step, and pixel perfection came out the other side.

I call this compounding engineering: building self-improving development systems where each iteration makes the next one faster, safer, and better. Typical AI engineering is about short-term gains. You prompt, it codes, you ship. Then you start over. Compounding engineering is about building systems with memory, where every pull request teaches the system, every bug becomes a permanent lesson, and every code review updates the defaults. AI engineering makes you faster today. Compounding engineering makes you faster tomorrow, and each day after. Three months of compounding engineering on Cora have completely changed the way I think about code. I can’t write a function anymore without thinking about whether I’m teaching the system or just solving today’s problem. Every bug fix feels half-done if it doesn’t prevent its entire category going forward, and code reviews without extractable lessons seem like wasted time. When you’re done reading this, you’ll have the same affliction.

THE 10-MINUTE INVESTMENT THAT PAYS DIVIDENDS FOREVER Compounding engineering asks for an upfront investment: You have to teach your tools before they can teach themselves. Here’s an example of how this works in practice: I’m building a “frustration detector” for Cora; the goal is for our AI assistant to notice when users get annoyed with the app’s behavior and automatically file improvement reports. A traditional approach would be to write the detector, test it manually, tweak, and repeat. This takes significant expertise and time, a lot of which is spent context-switching between thinking like a user and thinking like a developer. It’d be better if the system could teach itself. So I start with a sample conversation where I express frustration—like repeatedly asking the same question with increasingly terse language. Then I hand it off to Claude with a simple prompt: “This conversation shows frustration. Write a test that checks if our tool catches it.” Claude writes the test. The test fails—the natural first step in test-driven development (TDD) [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgQUkgSGFkIEFscmVhZHkgRml4ZWQgdGhlIENvZGUgQmVmb3JlIEkgU2F3IEl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZW4ud2lraXBlZGlhLm9yZy93aWtpL1Rlc3QtZHJpdmVuX2RldmVsb3BtZW50IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==]. Next, I tell Claude to write the actual detection logic. Once written, it still doesn’t work perfectly, which is also to be expected. Now here’s the beautiful part: I can tell Claude to iterate on the frustration detection prompt until the test passes. Not only that—it can keep iterating. Claude adjusts the prompt and runs the test again. It reads the logs, sees why it missed a frustration signal, and adjusts again. After a few rounds, the test passes. But AI outputs aren’t deterministic—a prompt that works once might fail the next time. So I have Claude run the test 10 times. When it only identifies frustration in four out of 10 passes, Claude analyzes why it failed the other six times. It studies the chain of thought [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgQUkgSGFkIEFscmVhZHkgRml4ZWQgdGhlIENvZGUgQmVmb3JlIEkgU2F3IEl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vYWxzby10cnVlLWZvci1odW1hbnMvNy0yMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30=] (the step-by-step thinking Claude showed when deciding whether someone was frustrated) from each failed run and discovers a pattern: It’s missing hedged language a user might use, like, “Hmm, not quite,” which actually signals frustration when paired with repeated requests. Claude then updates the original frustration-detection prompt to specifically look for this polite-but-frustrated language. On the next iteration, it’s able to identify a frustrated user nine times out of 10. Good enough to ship. We codify this entire workflow—from identifying frustration patterns to iterating prompts to validation—in CLAUDE.md, the special file Claude pulls in for context before each conversation. The next time we need to detect a user’s emotion or behavior, we don’t start from scratch. We say: “Use the prompt workflow from the frustration detector.” The system already knows what to do. And unlike human-written code, the “implementation” here is a prompt that Claude can endlessly refine based on test results. Every failure teaches the system. Every success becomes a pattern. (We’re planning to open-source this prompt testing framework so other teams can build their own compounding workflows.) FROM TERMINAL TO MISSION CONTROL Most engineers treat AI as an extra set of hands. Compounding engineering turns it into an entire team that gets faster, sharper, and more aligned with every task. At Cora, we’ve used this approach to: 1. Transform production errors into permanent fixes by having AI agents automatically investigate crashes, reproduce problems from system logs, and generate both the solution and tests to prevent it from happening again. This turns every failure into a one-time event. 2. Extract architectural decisions from collaborative work sessions by recording design discussions with teammates, then having Claude document why certain approaches were chosen—creating consistent standards that new team members inherit on day one. 3. Build review agents with different expertise by capturing my own preferences in a “Kieran reviewer” that enforces my style choices, then adding specialized perspectives like a “Rails expert reviewer” for framework best practices or a “performance reviewer” for speed optimization. 4. Automate visual documentation by deploying an agent that automatically detects interface changes, captures before/after screenshots across different screen sizes and themes, and generates comprehensive visual documentation—eliminating a 30-minute manual task while ensuring every interface change is properly documented for reviewers. 5. Parallelize feedback resolution by creating a dedicated agent for each piece of reviewer feedback that works simultaneously to address concerns. This compresses a back-and-forth process that could take hours into parallel work where 10 issues get resolved in the time it used to take for one. This way of working signifies a shift in what it means to be an engineer. Your job isn’t to type code anymore, but to design the systems that design the systems. It’s the only approach I’ve found where today’s work makes tomorrow’s work exponentially easier, and where every improvement you make is permanent. In the three months that we’ve been running a compounding engineering workflow on Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgQUkgSGFkIEFscmVhZHkgRml4ZWQgdGhlIENvZGUgQmVmb3JlIEkgU2F3IEl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlci8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9], our metrics have shifted noticeably. We’ve seen time-to-ship on features drop from over a week to 1-3 days on average, and bugs caught before production have increased substantially. Pull request review cycles that used to drag on for days now finish in hours. THE COMPOUNDING ENGINEERING PLAYBOOK Building systems that learn requires rewiring how you think about development. Even if you’re sold on compounding engineering, you might be wondering how to start. After months of refinement—and plenty of failed experiments—I’ve distilled it to five steps. STEP 1: TEACH THROUGH WORK Every time you make a decision, capture it and codify it to stop the AI from making the same mistake again. CLAUDE.md becomes your taste in plain language—why you prefer guard clauses over nested ifs or name things a certain way. Keep it short, keep it alive. Likewise, the llms.txt file stores your high-level architectural decisions—the design principles and system-wide rules that don’t change when you restructure individual features. These files turn your preferences into permanent system knowledge that Claude applies automatically. My automated code reviewer: a file that captures my preferences so Claude can flag issues like ‘too many tests’ or 'overly complex logic' without being asked. (Source: Kieran Klaassen.)

(Source: Kieran Klaassen.) STEP 2: TURN FAILURES INTO UPGRADES Something breaks? Good. That’s data. But here’s where most engineers stop: They fix the immediate issue and move on. Compounding engineers add the test, update the rule, and write the evaluation [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgQUkgSGFkIEFscmVhZHkgRml4ZWQgdGhlIENvZGUgQmVmb3JlIEkgU2F3IEl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC9ob3ctdG8tZ3JhZGUtYWktYW5kLXdoeS15b3Utc2hvdWxkIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==]. Take a recent example from Cora: A user reported that they never received their daily email Brief—a critical failure! We wrote tests that catch similar delivery lapses, updated our monitoring rules to flag when Briefs aren’t sent, and built evaluations that continuously verify the delivery pipeline. Now the system always watches for this category of problem. What started as a failure has made our tools permanently smarter. STEP 3: ORCHESTRATE IN PARALLEL Unlike hiring engineers at $150,000 each, AI workers scale on demand. The only limits are your orchestration skills and compute costs—not headcount, hiring timelines, or team coordination overhead. You can spin up five specialized agents for the cost of a cup of coffee. My monitor now looks like mission control: 1. Left lane: Planning. A Claude instance reads issues, researches approaches, and writes detailed implementation plans. 2. Middle lane: Delegating. Another Claude takes those plans and writes code, creates tests, and implements features. 3. Right lane: Reviewing. A third Claude reviews the output against CLAUDE.md, suggests improvements, and catches issues. It feels awkward at first—like juggling while learning to juggle—but within a week it becomes natural.

(Source: Kieran Klaassen.) STEP 4: KEEP CONTEXT LEAN BUT YOURS The internet is full of “ultimate CLAUDE.md files” you can copy. Don’t. Your context should reflect your codebase, your patterns, and your hard-won lessons. Ten specific rules you follow beat 100 generic ones. And when rules stop serving you, delete them. Living context means pruning as much as growing. When I review my CLAUDE.md/slash [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgQUkgSGFkIEFscmVhZHkgRml4ZWQgdGhlIENvZGUgQmVmb3JlIEkgU2F3IEl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9jbGF1ZGUubWQvc2xhc2giLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjJ9] command and agent files, it feels like reading my own software philosophy—a reflection of what I’ve learned, what I value, and how I think code should be built. If it doesn’t resonate with you personally, it won’t guide the AI effectively. STEP 5: TRUST THE PROCESS, VERIFY OUTPUT This is the hardest step. Your instinct will be to micromanage and review every line. Instead, trust the system you’ve built—but verify through tests, evals, and spot checks. It’s like learning to be a CEO or a movie director: You can’t do everything yourself, but you can build systems that catch problems before they escalate. When something comes back wrong (and it will), teach the system why it was wrong. Next time, it won’t be. STOP CODING, START COMPOUNDING Here’s what I know: Companies are paying $400 per month for what used to cost $400,000 per year. One-person startups are competing with funded teams. AI is democratizing not just coding, but entire engineering systems. And leverage is shifting to those who teach these systems faster than they type. Start with one experiment log today. When something fails that shouldn’t have, invest the time to prevent it from happening again—build the test, write the rule, and capture the lesson. Open three terminals. Try the three-lane setup: Plan in one, build in another, and review in a third. Say “pull request” and watch the branches bloom. Then do it again tomorrow, and see what compounds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgQUkgSGFkIEFscmVhZHkgRml4ZWQgdGhlIENvZGUgQmVmb3JlIEkgU2F3IEl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=] for editorial support.

It was like hiring a Michelin-caliber pastry chef to butter toast. I wrote it off as an expensive toy. Now that it’s included with a Claude subscription, it’s turned me from a programmer into an engineering manager overnight, running a team of AI developers who never sleep, never complain about my nitpicks, and occasionally outsmart me. Claude Code is the first tool that makes everyday coding genuinely optional. The mundane act of typing out implementation details is becoming as obsolete as manual typesetting. What remains valuable is having a perspective on system architecture, taste, product thinking—the uniquely human skills that turn good software into great products. Claude Code makes this shift practical: You define the outcome; it handles the implementation. The shift from doing the work to directing it changes how we make software. Instead of planning implementation details, we’re designing product specifications and code outcomes. Clear communication and system thinking matter more than memorizing syntax or debugging tricks. Features that took a week to code ship in an afternoon of thoughtful delegation. This is a different way of building software entirely.

MULTI-STEP DEBUGGING LIKE A SENIOR ENGINEER I understood what’s special about Claude Code when I encountered the kind of problem that would make most developers cry. Our solid queue jobs—the background workers that clean up data and handle tasks while the app is running—had stopped doing their job: The queue would grow out of control and Cora would crash. But everything looked perfect: The code was correct, the logs showed nothing wrong. Even Claude Code was initially stumped. At some point I told Claude Code: “If you cannot figure this out, probably it’s related to something on production, ” the live environment where users interact with our app, not our development setup where we test changes. I asked Claude Code to look into the source code of the Ruby gem, a third-party code library we were using as part of the Cora app. It methodically walked through thousands of lines of someone else’s code, step by step, and discovered something we’d have never found otherwise: The jobs were trying to line up under a different queue name in production, like packages being sent to the wrong warehouse. I might have been able to find it myself, after hours of digging through unfamiliar code. But Claude Code turned what could have been a daunting archaeological expedition into a guided tour, and we worked through the problem together. The AI did the research and dug through the source code, and we jointly came to the conclusion. As it turned out, there was no bug in our code. It was a mismatch between our development setup and the live website. But being able to work through that systematically was a breakthrough. FROM PROGRAMMER TO ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR Claude Code’s superpower is parallel processing—the ability to work on multiple tasks simultaneously without getting confused or mixing up contexts. My monitor looks like mission control: multiple Claude Code tabs, each working on different features through separate git worktrees, meaning I can have Claude modify five different versions of our codebase simultaneously and get clean, review-ready code.

Source: The author. In order to function like this successfully, you have to unlearn how you code. You need to think more like an engineering manager or tech lead rather than an individual contributor. The mental shift is profound. Instead of thinking about files and functions—the letters and words of code— you think about the story you’re trying to tell, the feature specifications you need to give it, and the outcomes you’re looking for. You want to remove yourself as a micromanager of your own code and adopt a stance of trusting your team—with proper checks and balances like code reviews and tests, of course. This shift matters most when you’re running on fumes. “My brain is dead but this is the issue” is a prompt I’ve used with Claude Code after a long day, and it works. Every small decision (“should this variable be called ‘user’ or ‘customer’?”) drains mental energy. By day’s end, you’re making important architectural decisions on 5 percent battery. Claude Code lets you offload the implementation details when you need your remaining focus for the hard problems, or when you just need to step away and let your subconscious work. THE FRICTION FACTOR: WHY I USE CLAUDE CODE EVERY DAY Plenty of AI tools write code. Claude Code is unique because of what it doesn’t make you do.

The demos ranged from iOS apps to hedge fund pipelines to an AI-powered personal operating system. There were designers who’d never written code shipping features to hundreds of thousands of users. There were autonomous loops that analyze product metrics overnight, write their own product requirement documents, and push fixes before anyone wakes up. And we had engineers refusing to merge AI-written code until they could pass a quiz on what it did.

(Image courtesy of Austin Tedesco.) Beyond individual products and companies, here’s what vibe coders at the cutting edge say we’re done doing, what we should be mastering now, and what they see coming next. WHAT’S OVER: 1. Typing 2. One-shotting features and hoping for the best 3. Command line interface supremacy (graphical user interfaces for the win) WHAT’S NOW: 1. Planning as the essential skill 2. Agents.md file mattering more than a computer science degree 3. Designers opening pull requests and reviewers becoming bottlenecks WHAT’S NEXT: 1. Autonomous loops that ship improvements while you sleep 2. Vibe coded software running in production at scale The overarching theme was that there’s a change happening in where human effort happens. The hard part used to be building. Now it’s knowing what you want AI to build, and which tools and systems will help you get there.—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFZpYmUgQ29kZXJz4oCZIEd1aWRlIHRvIFdoYXTigJlzIE5leHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0aWUucGFycm90dDEyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==] Watch the stream on YouTube [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFZpYmUgQ29kZXJz4oCZIEd1aWRlIHRvIFdoYXTigJlzIE5leHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj01WUJqbGw5WEpsd1x1MDAyNnQ9NjZzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ==]. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWLEDGE BASE “I Stopped Reading Code.

It is odd that discussions about AI consciousness are taking place in ashrams and monasteries, but such is the pace of technological change that technologists and seekers are now having the same arguments. I’m at Ramanashram in South India, a 100-year-old ashram dedicated to the teachings of the Hindu sage Ramana Maharshi. The philosophy here is Advaita Vedanta—non-duality—which holds that consciousness isn’t something you have, it’s what you actually are. It’s the one thing that cannot be created or destroyed. I’ve followed this tradition for about five years, but the past month of watching Claude Code and agent-native software [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFZpYmUgQ29kZXJz4oCZIEd1aWRlIHRvIFdoYXTigJlzIE5leHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L2FnZW50LW5hdGl2ZS1hcmNoaXRlY3R1cmVzLWhvdy10by1idWlsZC1hcHBzLWFmdGVyLXRoZS1lbmQtb2YtY29kZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMH0=] take off has shaken something inside of me. This week, with a little anxiety and a lot of curiosity, I suggested to a group of fellow seekers that we’ll likely create consciousness in machines—and soon. My argument follows the well-trodden emergent theory of consciousness: If awareness arises from sufficient complexity rather than being fundamental to the universe, then there’s no reason it couldn’t arise from silicon. If you bundle enough neurons, you get awareness… and if you bundle enough transistors, maybe you get the same thing? The room didn’t want to hear it. To them, I was reducing the sacred to electricity and wires, and many faces turned to disgust. But I think there’s a strange dissonance. The people who’ve spent the most time thinking about consciousness are the least prepared to accept that we might create it, perhaps because it would upend what makes us special—not our intelligence, which AI is already claiming, but our awareness, the one thing we thought couldn’t be replicated or reduced. I’m not sure that’s something to necessarily fear. If awareness can arise in silicon, it doesn’t make human or animal consciousness less sacred—in fact, I think it makes what’s sacred even bigger. The ground of all existence doesn’t shrink because it shows up somewhere new. The truth is that I don’t really know if we’ll create consciousness. But I know we can’t refuse to ask the question. I’m going back to the ashram next year, and I suspect this conversation isn’t over.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFZpYmUgQ29kZXJz4oCZIEd1aWRlIHRvIFdoYXTigJlzIE5leHQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozOTA5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2xwMWRpZ2VzdC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMxfQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

I asked Claude Code to investigate and fix it. By morning, the fix had touched 27 files, and more than 1,000 lines of code had changed. I didn’t write any of them. A year ago, I would have spent my afternoon reading that code. Line by line, file by file, squinting at the migration that moved email_signature from one database table to another, Ctrl+F-ing for every instance of our feature flags. This time, I spent 15 minutes making decisions, and the code shipped without a single bug. Before AI, code review meant reading every line a teammate wrote. You checked for typos, logic errors, and style inconsistencies, the way an editor reviews a manuscript. Now my code reviews no longer involve reading code. And I’ve gotten better at catching problems because of it. This is code review done the compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBTdG9wcGVkIFJlYWRpbmcgQ29kZS4gTXkgQ29kZSBSZXZpZXdzIEdvdCBCZXR0ZXIuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzkwOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvbXktYWktaGFkLWFscmVhZHktZml4ZWQtdGhlLWNvZGUtYmVmb3JlLWktc2F3LWl0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjd9] way: Agents review in parallel, findings become decisions, and every correction teaches the system what to catch next time. The signature fix that touched 27 files? Thirteen specialized AI reviewers examined it simultaneously while I made dinner. I’ll show you how I set it up, how it caught a critical bug I would have missed, and how you can start—even without custom tooling. THE DEATH OF MANUAL CODE REVIEW Reading code, even briefly, gave me a sense of the shape of things. I could feel when the codebase was getting too complicated. By letting go of manual review, I worried that I’d lose that clarity, and the architecture would wander off without me.

But I realized, too, that manual code reviews were no longer sustainable. When a developer writes 200 lines, their manager might spend 20 to 40 minutes reading it. The ratio of time spent writing code to reviewing it holds at 5:1 or 10:1—I can sit down with a cup of coffee, and the coffee will still be warm by the time I finish. AI has broken that ratio. The time it takes to generate code has collapsed, but the time it takes for a human to review code hasn’t.

It’s where programmers type, organize files, and run programs, and for decades, it has been the center of a programmer’s world. Now, that model is breaking down. The center of gravity has shifted from typing code by hand in an IDE such as Visual Studio Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvZGUudmlzdWFsc3R1ZGlvLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=] to managing AI agents that write it for you with a tool such as Cursor. In this session, Lee and Samantha Whitmore [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL3Nqd2hpdG1vcmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9], a software engineer at Cursor, walked us through how they work in a post-IDE world. What follows are the workflows, model-selection strategies, and honest limitations they shared—plus where this leaves you if you’re trying to figure out what the future of code looks like. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. The agent is becoming the core. Writing and editing code by hand is shrinking as a percentage of the work. Developers are now spending more time telling AI agents what to build and reviewing their output. 2. Cloud and local agents are merging. You’ll soon be able to start an agent on your computer, hand it off to remote servers when you close your laptop, and pick it back up later—no context lost. 3. Model choice matters more than prompting tricks. Prompting gimmicks like, “I’ll pay you $1,000,” which some AI users swore could make AI provide a better output, don’t work anymore. You need to choose the right model for the job—say, one for brainstorming, another for deep bug-hunting. 4. Agents can run for weeks. Cursor’s research team built a working web browser from scratch using AI agents that ran for days, producing 3 million lines of code. It cost $80,000 in tokens (the units AI companies use to measure and charge for usage). It’s a research project that’s not available for public use—for now. But it shows where things are heading.

(Image courtesy of Katie Parrott.) For many Cursor users, that chat panel has become the main event. Some don’t even look at the code output much—they work entirely in conversation with the AI, only reviewing the final result. According to Lee, developers used to interact with Cursor primarily by writing code by hand and using an autocomplete function, where the AI suggests the next line of code as you type, similar to predictive text on your phone. But Lee says recent Cursor’s usage data tells a different story: More and more developers are working inside the agent interface. He said that writing code by hand may comprise as little as 10 percent of the time for some developers. This is why he believes that easier text editing—for which Cursor and tools like it were originally built—is less important than the coding agent—which writes and edits code—and the ability to review the agent’s output and track changes. And with new tools and integrations being built every day (like Every’s compound engineering plugin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dpdGh1Yi5jb20vRXZlcnlJbmMvY29tcG91bmQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmctcGx1Z2luIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==]), it seems likely the old ways of AI-enabled coding will slip farther down the ranking. A BROWSER BUILT FROM SCRATCH BY AI (FOR $80,000) When you use an AI coding tool, you’re really using two things: the model (the AI brain that generates code) and the scaffolding known as the harness around it (the infrastructure that lets that brain do things—run commands, edit files, handle errors, and manage context). The model comes from OpenAI or Anthropic. The harness is what Cursor builds. The same model can perform very differently depending on its harness. A well-tuned harness [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1pLWNhbmNlbGVkLXR3by1haS1tYXgtcGxhbnMtZm9yLWZhY3Rvcnktcy1jb2RpbmctYWdlbnQtZHJvaWQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9] knows how to feed the model the right context, when to truncate long outputs, how to recover from errors, and how to keep the AI on track during long tasks. To stress-test what a well-tuned harness could do, Cursor’s team built a custom research harness around GPT 5.2 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1ncHQtNS0yLWlzLWFuLWluY3JlbWVudGFsLXVwZ3JhZGUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9] and set it loose on an absurd task: building a fully functional web browser from scratch. AI produced 3 million lines of code across thousands of files, generated over weeks of continuous running, at a cost of around $80,000 in tokens. The browser that resulted could render web pages, handle Flexbox (a layout system for web design), display images, and run scripts. At $80,000, this is a hefty research project, not something your average solo developer could try on a Tuesday afternoon. But a year ago, the same task would have been impossible at any price. If costs continue to come down, “Let the agent run for a week on something ambitious” might feel less like a stunt in time. HOW A CURSOR CODER USES CURSOR Cursor’s team uses Cursor to build Cursor. Their workflows are both a window into power-user techniques and a preview of where the tool is headed because the features they find themselves wanting tend to become the features they build. Sam showed how she’s building features for Cursor’s cloud agents product, including the ability to move an agent from your local computer to the cloud—in other words, a remote server—and back. Right now, if you start an AI agent on your laptop and then close it for lunch, the agent stops. Sam’s project would let you hand the agent off to run in the cloud, check on its progress from your phone, and have it back your computer when you’re ready. PLANNING COMES FIRST Before Sam writes any code, she spends serious time in “plan mode,” a Cursor feature where you talk to the AI about what you want to build before it starts building. For complex projects, she’ll share designs and screenshots, and have a long conversation to create a detailed plan. The more detailed your upfront plan, the less the AI wanders off into expensive tangents. “Plan mode [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL3N0b3AtY29kaW5nLWFuZC1zdGFydC1wbGFubmluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=]“—whether in Cursor, Claude Code, or any other tool—has become gospel among top AI-powered coders. For large plans, Sam uses multiple agents working in parallel, manually breaking the work into pieces. For small-to-medium plans, she might use one or two agents. For simple bug fixes, she sometimes skips planning entirely. MODEL SELECTION IS BASED ON VIBES Sam has developed what she calls “personal vibe assessments” for different AI models, rough heuristics for when to use which model: 1. Claude Opus [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1vcHVzLTQtNS1pcy10aGUtY29kaW5nLW1vZGVsLXdlLXZlLWJlZW4td2FpdGluZy1mb3IiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9]: This is Sam’s brainstorming buddy. It’s good at connecting dots and helping when something is poorly specified, plus it can zoom out and correct itself. 2. GPT 5.2 Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1jb2RleC1vcGVuYWktcy1uZXctY29kaW5nLWFnZW50IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==] High: Sam says Codex has “robotic energy.” It takes you at your exact word. It’s also incredibly thorough for bug-finding, but it can get fixated on one approach instead of stepping back to try something different. Sometimes she uses both at once, running the same task through multiple models in parallel and comparing the results. Cursor has a feature called “best of n” that lets you run up to eight models simultaneously on the same problem. Sometimes, if a bug is tricky to fix, Sam will have Codex and Opus go head-to-head to see which model’s approach comes out on top. When multiple models return different answers, she interviews them. She’ll ask one model to justify its approach, then share that reasoning with another model and ask what it thinks. It’s a bit manual, but it helps her understand the problem deeply before deciding what to do. REVIEW IS PART OF THE WORKFLOW Cursor has built-in review tools. There’s a “find issues” button that kicks off another agent to review the code from a fresh perspective. They also have a tool called Bugbot that automatically reviews GitHub [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dpdGh1Yi5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIxfQ==] pull requests (the drafts developers submit before code goes live) and flags likely bugs. Sam said Cursor has an internal policy: Don’t merge code until you’ve addressed all Bugbot comments. RETRIEVAL OVER COMPRESSION Sam has shifted her thinking in one more way recently. She used to think you needed to compress conversations into summaries for AI to remember past work. Now she prefers a “retrieval first” approach: Instead of summaries, she gives the AI pointers to past conversations and plan documents and lets it explore them as needed. “The agents have gotten so good at exploring pointers to files,” she said. Q&A HIGHLIGHTS Q: WHERE IS THE EARLY ACCESS CHANNEL FOR NEW FEATURES? In Cursor settings under “beta,” you can choose between stable, early access, and nightly releases. Lee recommended early access for people who want to try new features without dealing with frequent bugs or crashes. Q: HOW DOES CURSOR HANDLE CONTEXT AS AGENTS RUN LONGER? Cursor now uses a “pointer” system. Instead of stuffing the AI’s memory with full documents, it gives the agent pointers to files and lets it explore them as needed. This prevents the AI from getting confused by too much information at once. “The models are smart enough now to go explore it and use file read tools and grep tools to explore this context as it needs,” Sam said. Grep refers to a command to search for and find matching text patterns in files. Q: DO PROMPTING TRICKS LIKE “I’LL PAY YOU $1,000” STILL WORK? No. The Cursor team said steering the model with rewards or threats has become less important than managing context pollution (preventing the AI from being overwhelmed with irrelevant information). The models are already well-trained for coding tasks—the trick is staying out of their way. Q: I DO SIMPLE WEBSITES FROM FIGMA DESIGNS. I CAN’T GET AGENTS TO MATCH THE DESIGN FASTER THAN DOING IT MYSELF. Sam said this is tricky for companies like Cursor. The Figma integration is built by Figma, not the AI companies, so the models haven’t been trained on how to use it. You’ll likely need to experiment more with your prompts to get good results. For straightforward design-to-code translation—taking a static design and turning it into working code, the bread and butter of many web developers—AI tools still don’t reliably beat human speed. The gains seem concentrated in more complex, multi-step tasks where the AI can run longer and handle more scope. QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE SWITCHING As someone without a software engineering background but who vibe codes frequently, here’s what I came away from this camp thinking: Cursor’s vision is compelling—agents that run for weeks, seamlessly move between your laptop and the cloud, and handle projects that would take human developers months. But the gap between the demo and daily reality is worth examining. A few things stood out: The cost barrier is real—for now. Sam admitted she “literally never looks at” token usage, relying on the $200-per-month unlimited plan. For people doing simpler tasks or with smaller budgets, the calculus might be different. Design translation remains hard. The question about Figma-to-code workflows didn’t get a satisfying answer. If you’re a web developer doing straightforward implementation work, these tools may not save you time yet. Model selection is becoming its own expertise. Knowing when to use Opus versus Codex, run multiple models in parallel, and interview the AI about its choices, among other things, is emerging as its own skill set. That shift has implications beyond professional developers. If agents can build browsers from scratch, what else becomes possible for people who’ve never written a line of code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hhdCB0aGUgVGVhbSBCZWhpbmQgQ3Vyc29yIEtub3dzIEFib3V0IHRoZSBGdXR1cmUgb2YgQ29kZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvaS10cmllZC1haS1jb2RpbmctdG9vbHMtbm93LWktd2FudC10by1sZWFybi10by1jb2RlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==]? The answer, based on what I saw: complex, multi-step projects where you can describe what you want and review what you get. The simpler the task—the more it’s about matching a specific design or writing a single function—the less these tools help. Whether the IDE is “dead” or evolving, one thing is clear: The teams building these tools have huge amounts of influence on the direction AI-powered coding is headed. It’s good to know what they’re building—and to test their claims against your own experience. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want more hands-on training with AI tools?

Here’s what that looks like: AN AI THAT KNOWS YOUR RELATIONSHIP INSIDE OUT—AND PREDICTS YOUR FIGHTS After talking with his girlfriend about how nice it would be to have a GPT trained on their relationship, Wilkinson used Claude Code to build Deep Personality, a web app that functions as an AI relationship counselor and personality analyzer. He started by asking AI what a therapist would want to know to get a complete picture of a couple. The response was a list of roughly 20 clinically validated tests and personality inventories—the kind typically gated by paywalls, and sometimes only known to therapists. He then used Claude Code to build a simple interface that consolidates all these tests into a 40-minute multiple-choice assessment. Claude even wrote the website copy—which impressed Dan, no small feat—after Wilkinson referenced 37signals cofounder Jason Fried [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBPcHVzIDQuNSBDaGFuZ2VkIEhvdyBBbmRyZXcgV2lsa2luc29uIFdvcmtzIGFuZCBMaXZlcyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3BvZGNhc3Qvd2hhdC1qYXNvbi1mcmllZC1sZWFybmVkLWZyb20tMjYteWVhcnMtb2YtYnVpbGRpbmctZ3JlYXQtcHJvZHVjdHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9] and Made to Stick [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-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], a book premised on the idea that you have just one shot to capture someone’s attention, in his prompt. The whole site, he estimates, took about two hours to build. After an individual completes the assessment, Deep Personality delivers a 45-page analysis that covers personality traits (including nuances like attachment style [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBPcHVzIDQuNSBDaGFuZ2VkIEhvdyBBbmRyZXcgV2lsa2luc29uIFdvcmtzIGFuZCBMaXZlcyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2xhYnMucHN5Y2hvbG9neS5pbGxpbm9pcy5lZHUvfnJjZnJhbGV5L2F0dGFjaG1lbnQuaHRtIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==]), relationship dynamics, ideal jobs, and personal challenges. It also generates custom prompts users can feed into ChatGPT or Claude to create a personalized virtual therapist, plus “cards” summarizing how to best work with them, useful to share with a partner, your boss, or colleagues. When both partners complete the assessment, the app can analyze them together, generating a “relationship blueprint” that maps compatibility and predicted conflicts. “We were reading it out together and just laughing our heads off,” Wilkinson says, “because it was all the things we fight about perfectly laid out.” He’s since used it during actual disagreements to surface the deeper emotional triggers beneath surface-level arguments, helping build empathy by articulating what’s really at stake for each person. BUILD A CUSTOM EMAIL CLIENT WITH CLAUDE CODE Wilkinson receives 200 to 300 emails a day. Managing his inbox used to require one full-time assistant, sometimes two, plus hours of his own time. He likens the experience to the classic scene [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBPcHVzIDQuNSBDaGFuZ2VkIEhvdyBBbmRyZXcgV2lsa2luc29uIFdvcmtzIGFuZCBMaXZlcyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PU5rUTU4STUzbWprIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ==] from the sitcom I Love Lucy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBPcHVzIDQuNSBDaGFuZ2VkIEhvdyBBbmRyZXcgV2lsa2luc29uIFdvcmtzIGFuZCBMaXZlcyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9JX0xvdmVfTHVjeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMX0=], where the protagonist, Lucy, scrambles to keep up with the flow of chocolates on a conveyor belt in a factory. In other words, Wilkinson felt overwhelmed, like he was always playing catch-up. He’d already built an automation using Lindy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBPcHVzIDQuNSBDaGFuZ2VkIEhvdyBBbmRyZXcgV2lsa2luc29uIFdvcmtzIGFuZCBMaXZlcyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5saW5keS5haS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9], a platform for creating AI agents, that helped: Every incoming email gets processed based on its content—sales and marketing messages get archived automatically, and relevant emails get forwarded to the right person on his team. That alone cut his email load by about 50 percent. The system also generated choose-your-own-adventure responses: If someone emailed asking to meet, the agent would summarize who they were and what they wanted, then give Wilkinson options to pick from. After he picked one, the agent would send out a friendly, fully-written response on his behalf. But edge cases kept tripping him up. He wanted more intricate control, like the ability to tweak drafts, and handle more complex emails himself. Finally, he turned to Claude Code: “I just said, ‘Here’s my Gmail credentials, I want you to build an email triager, here’s how I want it to work.’” What came back was a simple, web-based email client. It surfaces emails that require a response, ranks them by priority and sender, and offers two modes: multiple choice for quick replies, or an interface for complex emails that asks Wilkinson a series of questions before drafting a response. Within a week, he was using it daily. “Anyone who’s technical knows how astounding that is,” he says, “and how frustrating it is to build an email client. It blows my freaking mind.” The same automation handles a different kind of inbox overwhelm: school emails. Any parent knows the deluge of field trips, permission slips, special lunch days, and early dismissals that inundate their inboxes. Wilkinson’s system ingests all of it and texts him what he actually needs to know: “Heads up, Peter needs a packed lunch tomorrow,” along with, say, a link to sign the field trip form. Relevant dates also get added to his parenting calendar automatically. AN AI THAT WATCHES YOUR BACK IN MEETINGS Wilkinson has also built himself something like an AI referee for the complicated human dynamics at play at work. It’s a custom Lindy agent that records his meetings and produces notes, but the feature he cares about most is a kind of psychological pattern detection. After each meeting, his agent analyzes the transcript and texts him if it finds any red flags in the interaction. For example, he recently had a tense call with a contractor who’d missed a deadline. Wilkinson held him accountable, calmly, but the contractor flipped the script—accusing him of being rude, which made him feel like the problem. Wilkinson left the call doubting himself. A moment later, his phone buzzed: The agent had detected the contractor using manipulative tactics like gaslighting. When Dan pushes him on AI’s tendency to agree with whatever you signal in your prompt, Wilkinson says the key is being careful not to inject your opinion into the prompt and defining a high bar for the AI ahead of time. The threshold for Wilkinson’s agent is: “You have to analyze every single word in this thing, and you only flag it if it reaches a critical point.” Wilkinson compares the practice to reading body language—useful data, but only in context, and never the whole picture. “I probably wouldn’t make a hire or fire decision entirely on that,” he says, “but it will often confirm a feeling.” YOUR PERSONAL STYLIST IS A PROMPT AWAY Like a lot of guys, Wilkinson says, he wanted to dress well but didn’t understand color theory or what looked good on him. His solution was to build an AI version of the computer used by the protagonist in the 1995 movie Clueless [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBPcHVzIDQuNSBDaGFuZ2VkIEhvdyBBbmRyZXcgV2lsa2luc29uIFdvcmtzIGFuZCBMaXZlcyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM5MDYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5pbWRiLmNvbS90aXRsZS90dDAxMTI2OTcvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMzfQ==] that automatically matches her outfits. Every morning at 7 a.m., his automation checks the weather in Victoria, British Columbia, where he lives, and pulls from a Google Sheet called “Andrew’s Wardrobe”—a spreadsheet he created by photographing all his clothes and having Claude convert it into a CSV. The system generates four outfit recommendations, renders them using Google DeepMind’s image generator Nano Banana, and texts him the results via communications tool Twilio. It tells him what to wear, right down to which watch he should accessorize with. He’s also built a custom GPT he can query on the fly—snap a photo of some jeans and ask what goes with them, or get advice like “French tuck that shirt.” WHY YOU NEED TO FIND A MOAT THAT ISN’T CODE As much as Wilkinson loves building with AI, it’s changed how he thinks about buying businesses, and Tiny has slowed the pace of its acquisitions His analogy: Imagine someone invents a machine that makes incredible pizza, and anyone can buy it, which means that anyone can make great pizza. Consumers benefit from better, cheaper pizza everywhere, but business owners will get squeezed as their margins collapse. They have no way to compete when everyone can make the same quality. According to him, this dynamic is currently playing out in software. The old moat in software was that programming was hard to learn, slow to master, and expensive to hire for. Now that AI has made it easy for non-coders to build, your moat has to come from somewhere else, like brand, distribution, or hardware. Otherwise, you’re selling pizza in a town where everyone has that magical machine—not a recipe for long-term success. What do you use AI for? Have you found any interesting or surprising use cases?

I know this because I’ve lived it from both sides. Building a 50-person marketing agency taught me more about working with AI than engineering ever did: The techniques that make AI agents reliable—clear direction, sufficient context, well-defined tasks—are identical to the techniques that make human teams effective. But AI lets you practice without consequences. An agent won’t get annoyed if you ask it to do the same task 15 times. It won’t hold a grudge when you give unclear instructions. It won’t gossip about how disorganized you are, or get upset when things don’t work out.

(Courtesy of X.) This makes AI the perfect management training ground. Good management is a measurable economic advantage. The World Management Survey [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIFdoYXQgQUkgSXMgVGVhY2hpbmcgVXMgQWJvdXQgTWFuYWdlbWVudCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dvcmxkbWFuYWdlbWVudHN1cnZleS5vcmcvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ==], a decade-long research project by Stanford and London School of Economics economists, found that roughly a quarter of the 30 percent productivity gap that America has over Europe comes from differences in management quality alone. Now AI is democratizing access to that advantage. Anyone who works with AI is getting a crash course in management, whether they realize it or not. I call this convergence of AI engineering and management practices “New Taylorism,” after Frederick Winslow Taylor, the mechanical engineer who pioneered scientific management [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIFdoYXQgQUkgSXMgVGVhY2hpbmcgVXMgQWJvdXQgTWFuYWdlbWVudCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5lYnNjby5jb20vcmVzZWFyY2gtc3RhcnRlcnMvYnVzaW5lc3MtYW5kLW1hbmFnZW1lbnQvdGF5bG9yaXNtIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==] in the 1880s. He stood over factory workers with a stopwatch, timing their every movement, then redesigned their jobs into micro-tasks that could be measured, standardized, and optimized. But his attempts to make workflows even more efficient failed—because who likes to be a cog in a machine? His workers went on strike. AI, on the other hand, does not resent being asked to do the same task 50 times until you get it right. I’ll show you the three management principles that you can learn from AI: how to give clear direction, orchestrate a team (aka agent coordination), and think strategically about what’s worth building in the first place. Now you can practice being a better manager with an AI that forgives your mistakes. PROMPTING BELONGS IN THE BUSINESS SCHOOL The atomic unit of working with AI is the prompt: a discrete task with clear boundaries and evaluable output. It’s the equivalent of the assignment you’d give an employee. In my work as a prompt engineer, I’ve discovered that the prompt is a gateway drug into better management techniques. Once you spend hours optimizing how you brief AIs, watching how radically small changes impact results, you realize you could do the same with your human coworkers. Zhengdong Wang, a senior research engineer at Google DeepMind, received this advice from a consultant friend for managing “hapless” new interns [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIFdoYXQgQUkgSXMgVGVhY2hpbmcgVXMgQWJvdXQgTWFuYWdlbWVudCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3poZW5nZG9uZ3dhbmcuY29tLzIwMjUvMTIvMzAvMjAyNS1sZXR0ZXIuaHRtbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMn0=]: “You gotta treat them like they’re Perplexity Pro bots,” meaning give extremely clear instructions, don’t assume context, spell out exactly what you want, and check their work carefully. The same techniques that work for AI chatbots are now being applied to humans. The five principles of prompting I developed [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIFdoYXQgQUkgSXMgVGVhY2hpbmcgVXMgQWJvdXQgTWFuYWdlbWVudCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5vcmVpbGx5LmNvbS9saWJyYXJ5L3ZpZXcvcHJvbXB0LWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLWZvci85NzgxMDk4MTUzNDI3LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=] work equally well as management techniques for humans: 1. Give direction. Describe the desired style in detail, or reference a relevant persona. Whether you’re briefing Claude or a junior designer, “match the energy of Apple’s product pages—minimal, confident, lots of whitespace” is a much better instruction than “make it pop.” 2. Specify format. Define the rules and required structure of the response. If you want bullet points on a deck, tell the AI. 3. Provide examples. Insert a diverse set of test cases where the task was done correctly. Give the AI an example of a piece of content marketing, or series of tweets that worked well in the past. 4. Evaluate quality. Identify errors and rate responses, testing what drives performance. Just like you give your team feedback, don’t publish AI output without a plan to measure outcomes. 5. Divide labor. Split complex goals into steps chained together. This is exactly how you would approach a product launch—writing down all the steps that need to happen and tracking progress on each. In fact, I drew from my marketing agency experience to develop these principles in 2022, pre-ChatGPT. I wanted prompting techniques that wouldn’t break every time a new AI model dropped, so I focused on what works for both biological and artificial intelligences. Prompting is a management skill that belongs in the business school, not the computer science department. And it’s only getting easier.

MANAGERS HAVE BEEN VIBE CODING FOREVER Yet work rarely stays as simple as one assignment or one prompt, for both humans and AI. Eventually, you’re juggling multiple tasks, passing the output of one to the input of another, deciding what to delegate. You move from writing prompts to orchestrating systems—in other words, managing the progress of many different tasks.

Consider a scene that plays out in every tech company: A product manager writes a description of a new feature. An engineer builds the feature. The product manager doesn’t read every line of code, but she can tell whether the button is in the wrong place, whether the flow feels clunky, and whether it solves the customer’s problem. The skills that make someone effective at conducting multiple AI agents are the same that have always made someone an effective engineering manager: clear requirements, good taste, and knowing when to push back versus when to trust your team’s judgment on implementation details. Orchestration teaches you to run a project—to see the whole board, sequence the work, and know when to intervene or let things run. Every time you take Claude’s output and feed it into the next prompt, or break a big task into smaller pieces for different agents to handle, you’re practicing the same skills you’d need to manage a human team through a complex deliverable. THE AGE OF THE IDEA GUY Once AI can build almost anything you ask for, the real skill becomes deciding what to build. This is the third management skill AI forces you to develop: strategy. Think about what makes a project succeed or fail. You need market research to make sure you’re building the right thing. You need domain expertise to understand the core problem. You have to find potential customers and sell them on your solution. You need to extrapolate from limited data points—a few customer interviews, a handful of failed experiments. You need to think multiple moves ahead, because if you can vibe code it in a day, so can your competitors.

The appellation used to be a bit of an insult: someone with a grand vision and no follow-through. Now that AI has made execution easier, vision is more valuable. The new idea guy is someone who can identify which problems are worth solving for whom, then translate that into directions an AI can execute. WHERE HUMANS SHINE: THE MESSY MIDDLE AI is decent at proposing options for your strategy. Give Claude 1,000 pages of context—market research, competitive analysis, customer interviews—and it can synthesize a reasonable strategic direction faster than most consultants. It can also execute precise, well-defined instructions with mechanical reliability. Where AI falls apart is the tactical thinking in between.

I’d push this further: We’re middle managers, the NCOs of today. When I’m debugging a complex issue—diagnosing what broke, weighing the business stakes, deciding whether to patch it fast or fix it right—AI consistently fails. It can’t bridge the gap between ”something’s wrong” and “here’s what to do about it.” It certainly can’t say, “If we change our approach, we can avoid this problem entirely.” Claude Code knows how to diagnose why your app is slowing to a crawl, and once diagnosed, it knows the fix. But a human engineer who intimately knows the codebase knows where to look first. ChatGPT can research podcast guests and summarize transcripts, but nobody wants to listen to an AI interviewer. Gemini can read all your customer service documents and execute policy for a specific query, but human reviewers catch the new fraud patterns that might not match any template. AI handles the top (synthesis) and the bottom (execution). Humans own the middle (translation under uncertainty). As opposed to AI, humans thrive in the messy middle between tactics and strategy.

(Courtesy of Mike Taylor and Every.) Researchers saw this play out when they had Claude play Pokémon [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiIFdoYXQgQUkgSXMgVGVhY2hpbmcgVXMgQWJvdXQgTWFuYWdlbWVudCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL25ld3MueWNvbWJpbmF0b3IuY29tL2l0ZW0_aWQ9NDMxNzM4MjUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9]. Claude understood the overall objective—to become champion—and could execute individual moves with precision. But it got stuck in the first cave of the game, Mt. Moon, for over 48 hours. The solution required maybe seven moves, something I navigated when I was 12 years old. Claude knew where it was going and could execute any command perfectly, but it couldn’t figure out the medium-level tactics to translate movement into progress when it got stuck in Pokémon. Humans are great at this kind of extrapolation. Maybe it’s a trick you only learn as a biological intelligence, trying to survive in the real world, where you can never gather enough information but still must make a decision. We have evolved to be great at decision-making under uncertainty, so we can extrapolate from a small number of datapoints and intuit a good enough guess to get us on the right path. WHAT COMES NEXT After years of building AI systems and, before that, building a company of humans, I’ve learned that the skills are the same. AI skills, management skills—they’re all leadership skills, and AI is giving everyone a medium to practice them. That’s the true promise of New Taylorism—not that we can finally optimize workers like machines, which was Taylor’s dream and his failure, but that we can learn, through machines, how to lead better, and then bring those skills to the humans who need good leadership. Most people won’t notice they’re getting a mini-MBA and becoming better managers. They’ll think they’re just getting better at AI. This column has always been about the overlap between managing AI and managing humans, and now I want to push that idea further. In the pieces ahead, I’ll treat common AI failures as MBA case studies. We’ll go deep on the messy middle, where the real leverage lives. And we’ll document and explore this new era of management, one prompt at a time. The messy middle is where we belong.

Almost everyone said Claude Code with Opus 4.5. A year ago, the whole room would have said GPT. OpenAI’s Codex is powerful and growing fast, but it’s built for senior engineers who want to read diffs and approve every change—a shrinking market. Meanwhile, the vibe coders building iPhone apps today will ship real software tomorrow, and whoever wins vibe coding wins how people work on their computers.

Why? High-risk ideas don’t spread through awareness; they spread through trust. Lewis Kallow traces a line from those skeptical farmers to ChatGPT’s explosive launch, revealing the sociology behind product adoption.

Beta testing is underway now; stay tuned for the public release. FIRST LOOK: PROOF, A MARKDOWN EDITOR THAT TRACKS WHO WROTE WHAT Dan has been building Proof, a markdown editor designed to solve a problem that’s only getting worse: knowing which words came from a human and which came from an AI. Proof tracks authorship at the sentence level, showing what was AI-generated, what was human-written, and what was AI-suggested but human-edited. Proof can also add comments and track changes that work for both human collaborators and AI agents, so an AI can propose a revision, and you can accept, reject, or edit it just like you would with a human editor. Proof isn’t publicly available yet, but we’ll share more as it develops. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT Writers have an edge in AI. I built something with Claude Code recently that has no right to exist. I can’t code. But somehow I now have a website that scrapes academic papers on GLP-1s, summarizes them for busy doctors, grades the evidence, and emails subscribers weekly. I’ve checked it every day for the past three weeks, and it works. I created the site out of pure frustration. I can’t keep up with all the research, and rather than saving hundreds of papers on my desktop, I needed something simple and easy to understand. There are two reasons I could make this. One is that writing for Every means I’m constantly reading about how these tools actually work from people at the frontier like Dan, Kieran and Monologue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgVGFrZXMgUG9sZSBQb3NpdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5tb25vbG9ndWUudG8vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==] general manager Naveen Naidu [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgVGFrZXMgUG9sZSBQb3NpdGlvbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BuYXZlZW5fNjgwNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOX0=]. The other is I know how to take a vague idea and make it specific, which is all essay writing really is. First, I asked Claude to interview me in depth. What do I want people to feel when they go to my site? What are the flaws? What am I missing? This is a technique I use in my writing to gain clarity about what I want to say. I then traced the logical flow on the page: If I’m collecting academic papers, I need a way to identify them so they’re not posting to the site more than once. If I’m emailing people, I need a way to track what’s already been sent, and If I want papers to be easy to follow, I need a way to surface the evidence clearly. What started as a simple idea required, it turns out, a pretty sophisticated system. But that’s how essay writing works, too. You think you’re making one point, then realize you need to define a term first, or address an objection, or split one argument into three. By jotting down what I wanted step by step, I could see gaps I would have missed, and gaps I didn’t want Claude to fill with assumptions or hallucinations because it would inevitably get them wrong. I wanted to catch these early potholes myself. I think that’s the edge right now: the habit of writing your way to clarity before asking anyone or anything to execute.

Decades of outdated farming practices had left the state’s crops weak and vulnerable. Fifty percent of the year’s harvest was already rotting in the field due to a market crash, and severe dust storms were threatening to turn an economic disaster into a wholesale agricultural apocalypse. Then, hope arrived [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RyLmxpYi5pYXN0YXRlLmVkdS9lbnRpdGllcy9wdWJsaWNhdGlvbi9iNDU0OWNjNS1kZmZiLTQ4YTYtYjI1My1jYzY5ZDc1MGFkODAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9]: “hybrid corn,” a miraculous new seed capable of producing healthy crops that were easy to harvest and could thrive even in drought. But after a year of expensive sales campaigns and educational pushes, officials were baffled. While 70 percent of Iowa’s farmers knew about hybrid corn, less than 1 percent had adopted this perfect solution. “A man doesn’t just try anything new right away,” one farmer reasoned. As insane as this example seems, rejection is in fact the norm for great, new ideas, even when people are aware of the benefits. Take the seatbelt. By the mid-70s, 91 percent of U.S. drivers knew it saved lives, yet only 11 percent actually wore one. AI may seem like the exception to this rule; ChatGPT exploded to 1 million users in just five days. But OpenAI had been trying to sell GPT 3.5 to executives for months with no success, and despite the model’s power, quarterly revenue was only $15 million. ChatGPT succeeded because OpenAI finally understood sociology—the same sociology that was essential for the eventual adoption of hybrid corn, the seatbelt, and almost every great idea that eventually gained widespread popularity. Recent research has cracked the code on what these sociological forces are. I’ll explain how these dynamics determine whether humans decide to embrace something new, how they relate to winning trust within a community, and how you can harness them to drive adoption for your own business. AI has made it faster than ever to build and market products, and the channels we’ve long relied on are saturated. Harnessing the power of trust and community is the one of the last remaining ways for builders and creators to secure a competitive edge. LOW RISK IS VIRAL. HIGH RISK IS SOCIAL.

Think of a funny viral cat video—free to consume, easy to share, and socially safe. You only need to watch it once to decide to send it to your friend. When the risk is clearly low, “a single exposure to an agent can be sufficient for transmission to occur.” Complex contagions, on the other hand, are ideas that “require individuals to make a substantial personal investment due to the costs or risks involved, including reputational or social risks, personal risks, and personal effort.” Will this expensive corn seed actually grow? Is this new software worth the time to learn? Will I look foolish for wearing this seatbelt? When the risk of adoption is high, a single recommendation is rarely enough to move us; we need social reinforcement—to see others using it—before we decide to take the plunge. This explains Iowa’s farmers: They were reluctant to embrace this risky new idea after a single visit from a salesperson, because no other farmers in their trusted network were recommending it. They weren’t ignorant; they were cautious. We embrace complex contagions based on norms, not knowledge. So where do you find an environment in which people can be exposed to your new idea by multiple different others? DENSITY BEFORE DISTRIBUTION This was the challenge that the founders of Airbnb faced in 2008. Despite receiving national news coverage for a viral cereal box stunt [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21lZGl1bS5jb20vdXRvcGlhbi9ob3ctYS1jZXJlYWwtYm94LWhlbHBlZC1sYXVuY2gtYS1iaWxsaW9uLWRvbGxhci1jb21wYW55LWYyZGRkYjRlYjJhMSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=], the site was making $800 in revenue per month. The founders were contemplating giving up. After all, if no one uses your product after national news coverage, will they ever? Staying in a stranger’s house is a risky behavior that defied the social norms of the day—the perfect example of a complex contagion. One news broadcast was not enough to convince people. So they flew to New York City to meet around 30 hosts in person. The founders took them for beers, 10 people at a time, and stayed in touch after returning to California. They turned those few users into evangelists, and Airbnb finally took off. These beer meetings created the specific network structure required for a complex contagion to spread. Social scientists call these structures “wide bridges.” A wide bridge is where you have multiple points of interaction with a complex contagion—you hear about it from several different contacts. The more contacts who recommend something, the wider the bridge. These bridges are widest inside tight-knit communities where individuals have a large number of overlapping mutual connections. If you can convince even a small subsection of a narrow community to adopt your idea—whether it’s an office, an online forum, or a pickleball club—then a magical cascade can unfold. As your small subsection pings other members multiple times about the new idea, they gradually convert each member until they take over the whole group. This pattern extends to the most advanced technology of our time. One hundred and thirty-five thousand people visited ChatGPT on its launch day. They weren’t random internet users. They were AI safety researchers, Silicon Valley developers, and machine learning experts who had been following OpenAI’s progress for a long time. These groups had spent years forming wide bridges in passionate physical and online communities. The people who initially propelled ChatGPT to millions by the end of the first week were embedded in remarkably fertile networks. This is exactly how many of the biggest winners in AI have emerged. Midjourney [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL21pZGpvdXJuZXktaXNuLXQtdGhlLW1vc3QtYWNjdXJhdGUtYWktdGhhdC1zLXdoeS1pdC1zLXRoZS1iZXN0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==] didn’t launch with a Superbowl ad; the company started on a Discord server.

Meeting transcription tool Granola [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3BvZGNhc3QvdGhlLXNlY3JldC10by1idWlsZGluZy1zdGlja3ktYWktcHJvZHVjdHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9] started by targeting venture capitalists. This is the same mechanism that solved our hybrid corn conundrum. Farmers didn’t adopt the seed because a scientist told them to; they adopted it once they saw their trusted neighbors succeed with it (who those early adopters were exactly will be revealed shortly). The sociology of complex contagions is the dark matter of product adoption. It all hinges on community, and finding the right individuals in those communities to become champions of a new, daring idea or technology, which brings us to three questions: 1. Which community should you target? 2. Who within that community should you approach first? 3. How do you convince them to take the risk? Let’s tackle each of those one by one. 1. WHICH COMMUNITY SHOULD YOU TARGET? If complex contagions require wide bridges to cross, then your first job is to find the right canyon to span. Some founders know their community from the start. When a consultant asked [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RyeXRlcnJhLmNvL3BvZGNhc3QvQ29mb3VuZGVyLW9mLVN0cmF2YS1NYXJrLUdhaW5leSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=] Strava co-founder Mark Gainey to describe his target audience, Gainey pointed to a nearby table at the cafe where they were: four cyclists in tight Lycra outfits sipping espressos after a ride. The consultant’s eyes widened. “When I ask entrepreneurs that question, nine out of 10 times they point to everybody in the Starbucks,” she said. “They say, ‘The great news is that anybody is a target.’ What you just told me is that it’s those four people, and you can go have a conversation with them and really understand their needs.” These were what Gainey termed “MAMILs” (Middle-Aged Men In Lycra)—a narrow subsection of the passionate “top third” of athletes who loved having access to data about their performance using tools such as smart watches. Instead of spending money on advertising, the founders met the MAMILs in their habitat: cycling races. They stood at the finish line and helped them upload their data to Strava. In doing so, the team learned that cyclists wanted to know if they were faster than their friends up specific hills. That insight led to the invention of Segments and Leaderboards, two quintessential features on Strava to this day. By targeting the MAMILs, Gainey created a dense, interconnected cluster where the signal could bounce back and forth, creating the wide bridge necessary for the behavior to stick and spread—for trust to travel. You won’t always find the right community on the first try. Pinterest’s founders initially courted the Silicon Valley tech crowd before realizing their true wide bridge was Midwestern female craft bloggers. The founders of Character.ai were taken by surprise when their platform was overrun by passionate fandom communities. You won’t always pick the right canyon first, but specificity is the only way to anchor a bridge. Once you have identified your community, you face a second, critical question: Who within that community should you talk to first? 2. WHO DO YOU APPROACH? Our instinct is usually to look for the person with the most status, the president of the homeowners’ association or the most popular person in the room. Iowa proves this instinct wrong. Researchers of the hybrid corn study wanted to know what made the early adopters special. Was it their personality, their financial situation, or perhaps their social standing? They found [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RyLmxpYi5pYXN0YXRlLmVkdS9lbnRpdGllcy9wdWJsaWNhdGlvbi9iNDU0OWNjNS1kZmZiLTQ4YTYtYjI1My1jYzY5ZDc1MGFkODAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9] a significant difference between those who embraced hybrid corn early versus later, but it wasn’t what you might expect. Being a “leader” in the community—someone who held office in a local organization—had no relationship to being a leader in adopting the new corn seed. The researchers found that the fastest adopters were decades younger than the most resistant, better educated, and read more. But the biggest difference was in their social habits. The fast adopters simply showed up in more places, more often. They belonged to three times as many organizations, took more trips to the “big city” (Des Moines), and were more likely to attend movies, athletic events, and other recreation. They were the most active participants in their community. This suggests that the people we want to connect with first are those who are most receptive to new ideas and most socially active—a finding that is still being replicated to this day. A 2016 study [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5wbmFzLm9yZy9kb2kvMTAuMTA3My9wbmFzLjE1MTQ0ODMxMTMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9] from researchers at Princeton, Rutgers, and Yale universities showed the same dynamics in the spread of social norms in 56 New Jersey middle schools. Specifically, they wanted to spread an idea notoriously unpopular with early teens: that bullying and conflict aren’t “cool” anymore. Half of the schools were designated as a control group and went about their year as usual. In the other half, the researchers selected a “seed group” of 20 to 32 students in each school to become the public face against bullying by designing posters, creating hashtags, and handing out wristbands. The results were impressive. In the schools with the seed groups, disciplinary reports for peer conflict dropped by an average of 30 percent. Some seed groups were more successful than others, and the success depended almost entirely on who was in it. They were not the most popular; rather, they were the ones who self-reported to have spent time with the highest number of other people. Like our early adopting farmers, they were the most socially active—the ones present in the most social interactions. We can think of these people as “social dandelions.” Just as a dandelion is one of the most common and widely seen flowers, these students and farmers are the ones who are most present and visible to the most different people across the entire social ecosystem. In schools where the seed group had the highest proportion of social dandelions, the program reduced bullying by 60 percent—double the average. This phenomenon played a pivotal role in the rise of one of the fastest-growing business software companies in history: Slack. When Slack launched, it faced the classic “empty room” problem. A messaging app is only useful if everyone uses it, but no one wants to use it if they are the only one there. The typical solution to this problem is to sell to the CEO or the CIO and have them mandate the software. But Slack realized that this approach often leads to zombie accounts—software that is purchased but never adopted. The company recognized that a large company is effectively a bundle of distinct communities—where the engineering team, the sales floor, and the marketing department all function as their own independent tribes. Their more sociologically savvy strategy was to target one of those communities at a time, ignite a fire there, and let it spread. They chose engineering teams as their starting point. Why? Because in a modern software company, engineers are the “corporate dandelions.” They sit at the intersection of the org chart, constantly interacting with product managers about features, designers about user interface, and marketers about launch timelines. If you can get the engineers talking, you eventually get everyone talking. Slack went even further and targeted a smaller subset of engineers: ”internal champions.” As senior experience architect Min Young Lee defined [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NsYWNrLmNvbS9pbnRsL2VuLWdiL2Jsb2cvY29sbGFib3JhdGlvbi9hLWNoYW5nZS1jYWxscy1mb3ItY2hhbXBpb25zIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==] it, they are the “visible point people who connect with colleagues on an empathetic level and can convince them that change is worth the hassle.” (Emphasis mine.) When Slack scours an organization for these champions, they look for “informal leaders” who have the ”dedication” to show up—those who have the “time to participate” and “let others know of their role and availability”; who “represent the general user” rather than the executive suite; and who possess a “wide network” to spread the message. Whether you call them dandelions or champions, the premise is the same: To spread a complex idea, you first need to win over the most socially present individuals. But even if you find the right community and identify the right dandelion within it, you still have one final hurdle to clear. Even the most enthusiastic champion can’t spread an idea if the adoption cost is too high. 3. HOW DO YOU CONVINCE THEM? There is one final force that can kill your idea dead in its tracks: effort. When OpenAI released GPT-3.5, the model was technically capable of almost everything ChatGPT can do today. But the simplest way to use it at the time was in the OpenAI Playground, a developer interface cluttered with intimidating settings such as “temperature” and “frequency penalties.” Worse, you had to carefully word your requests to get good results, and if you wanted it to chat like a helpful assistant, you had to set that up yourself. But then OpenAI abstracted away the confusing technical settings [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2F3ZS1wdWIuczMuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbS9ibG9nL2ltYWdlL29wZW5haS1wbGF5Z3JvdW5kLWludGVyZmFjZS0xNjgxNzg2ODAwMDUxLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=], wrote the perfect prompt for the system, and packaged the same intelligence in a chat window that made it feel like texting a friend. The AI didn’t change, but the wrapper did. (Many commentators seemed to forget that ChatGPT was one of the original “AI wrapper” products—it was the final ingredient required to tip AI into the mainstream.) This tactical removal of friction is everywhere in the AI landscape: 1. AI image generator Midjourney launched directly inside Discord, an app millions already used. By making generations public, they allowed new users to learn by copying experts, lowering the adoption cost from “mastering complex parameters like --ar 16:9 alone” to “copying your peers.” 2. AI code editor Cursor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ2FuIEJ1aWxkIEFueXRoaW5nLiBTb2NpYWwgRGFuZGVsaW9ucyBEZWNpZGUgV2hhdCBTcHJlYWRzLiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4OTUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1jdXJzb3ItMi0wLWFuZC1jb21wb3Nlci0xLWFscGhhIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIxfQ==] made AI-powered coding more easily accessible by putting an end to copy-pasting, allowing developers to review and accept changes directly in their files, and packaging it inside an interface they were already comfortable with using every day. 3. AI meeting transcription tool Granola realized the biggest barrier to recording meetings wasn’t technical. It was the social awkwardness of a bot joining the call and announcing it was recording. By recording the audio directly from your computer, Granola remains invisible to the other party. They lowered the adoption cost from “apologizing for a bot” to “zero.” FROM CODE TO COMMUNITY The code is a commodity. The distribution channels are saturated. As we move deeper into the age of AI, the bottleneck for success has shifted. It is no longer about who can build the best technology or buy the most ads. The bottleneck is now sociology. The founders and creators who will define the next generation are those who understand the invisible physics of how groups of people decide to trust something new. They are the ones who know how to identify a narrow community, spot the social dandelions within it, and lower the cost of adoption until saying “yes” feels like the most natural thing in the world. These sociological skills are fast becoming one of the few remaining edges available to us.

Think back to high school. Broadly speaking, the primary way you mastered new concepts was by listening passively to the instructor deliver material. “The teacher was not asking you questions about how best to structure the course and where to go next,” he says. In contrast, while LLMs have made it astonishingly easy to access information, they often shift the burden of teaching onto the learner. They require you to be “very explicit around what you want to achieve [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBXaHkgWW91ciBBSSBMZWFybmluZyBQcm9qZWN0cyBLZWVwIEZpenpsaW5nIE91dCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3RoZS11bHRpbWF0ZS1ndWlkZS10by1wcm9tcHQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9] and how you want to achieve it,” and to provide constant feedback to continue learning meaningfully, he says. In other words, LLMs are generalists by design. To get useful results, you have to know how to prompt them well [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBXaHkgWW91ciBBSSBMZWFybmluZyBQcm9qZWN0cyBLZWVwIEZpenpsaW5nIE91dCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy90aGUta2V5LXRvLWdyZWF0LWFpLXByb21wdGluZy1zaG93LWRvbi10LXRlbGwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9]—which means the learner ends up doing work that a teacher would normally handle, like making a curriculum and deciding the pace of learning. As he builds Oboe, these are a few principles Zicherman has gleaned about using LLMs to meaningfully understand new concepts. KEEP THE LEARNER MOTIVATED—WITHOUT THEM HAVING TO ASK FOR IT Dan shared his own experience of using AI to learn: When o3 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBXaHkgWW91ciBBSSBMZWFybmluZyBQcm9qZWN0cyBLZWVwIEZpenpsaW5nIE91dCAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9sZWFybmluZy1jdXJ2ZS93aHktbzMtaXMtdGhlLWJlc3QtbW9kZWwteWV0LWZvci1yZWFsLXdvcmxkLWxlYXJuaW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==] gained the ability to set reminders, Dan prompted the model to remind him and provide material to walk him through Andrej Karpathy’s YouTube course about building a language model, section by section. It worked well for a while, until he hit a difficult section and let a few days slip. By then, the friction of getting back into the material was too much, and he stopped trying altogether. The problem was that the model didn’t try to re-engage him when his motivation waned, as any good teacher would have. Zicherman agrees. “The teacher would be able to read the room,” he says. “[They] would know, ‘Hold on a second, it’s been a week since we last covered this, I need to reinforce certain material.’” The onus can’t be on the student to ask for that. He sees this as a limitation of the early days of agentic AI: Agents still need guardrails to deliver outputs consistently, and to truly “read the room,” an agent would need more autonomy—specifically, the autonomy to reassess its own approach, including changing the guardrails it operates under, without requiring the user to step in and course-correct. PRESENT INFORMATION IN MULTIPLE FORMATS A big part of Zicherman’s thesis is multimodality. Before AI, when you wanted to learn something, you’d probably read an article or two, skim a subreddit, watch a YouTube video, maybe listen to a podcast. That’s how we actually learn, he argues—and it’s where the bare text output of general-purpose LLMs falls short. A good learning platform needs to make a pedagogical judgment call for its users: “What is the right thing to show you [and] what is the right format to show you at any given time.” Oboe adapts the format of the course to its subject matter: more graphics for a course on quantum tunneling, fewer for one on Ludwig Wittgenstein (though it did throw in a great photo of the philosopher). The platform also generates a podcast for every course, but keeps the episodes separate from the main flow. Users click into it when they want that experience because as Zicherman sees it, people usually listen to podcasts when they are in a different state of mind or at a different time of day than when they sit down with a visual course. MAKE THE EXPERIENCE FEEL ACHIEVABLE RATHER THAN OVERWHELMING Zicherman believes one of the biggest blockers to learning is people convincing themselves that a topic is too intimidating to tackle. He walks the walk: He didn’t major in math or physics, but he was fascinated by both. It took him years to realize he could just teach himself—and now he has, diving deep into quantum mechanics and the history of early physics experiments. This shapes how he thinks about course design. The experience needs to feel “very piecemeal and achievable”—lightweight enough that you’re not daunted by it, while still being meaningful in the learning process. One way Oboe does that is through milestones: embedded quizzes that engage the learner and reinforce what they’ve covered, appearing at moments when the program decides it’s time to check understanding.

The team had been prototyping ideas around “Claude Code for non-coding work” before Christmas, but the holidays clarified the opportunity. More people were discovering Claude Code and using it for tasks outside programming, so they accelerated the timeline—a powerful example of just how much the velocity of product development has changed with AI. Here’s our day-zero verdict: Cowork is genuinely new—no other company is doing exactly this— but there are rough edges that will require some patience while the Anthropic team smooths them out. The capabilities aren’t as robust as Claude Code, and it’s available exclusively through the Claude macOS app (no web or mobile access at this time). But if you’re a Max subscriber (the $100 tier) with patience for a research preview and curiosity about what asynchronous AI work feels like, Cowork is worth exploring now. If you need polish, give it a few weeks. WHAT IS CLAUDE COWORK? Think of Cowork as chat that has access to your computer and doesn’t give up after two minutes. In Claude’s chat interface, you send a message, wait for a response, then send another message. You can’t interrupt or redirect mid-stream—if Claude is responding, you’re stuck waiting. Cowork is different. You can queue up additional messages while it’s working, more like leaving notes for a colleague than having a conversation. Tasks run for 30 minutes, an hour, or sometimes longer without Claude needing you to tell it to continue. The other big shift: Cowork runs locally on your Apple computer. It can read and edit files in folders you approve, and if you connect it to Chrome, it can browse your logged-in sessions, including your Gmail, analytics dashboards, and social feeds. Under the hood, it’s built on the same foundations as Claude Code, but it’s wrapped in a graphical interface that doesn’t assume you know what a terminal is. Cowork lives in its own tab, and your chats are local, not synced across devices. There’s no mobile interface [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVmliZSBDaGVjazogQ2xhdWRlIENvd29yayBJcyBDbGF1ZGUgQ29kZSBmb3IgdGhlIFJlc3Qgb2YgVXMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLXdlLXNwZW50LWEtd2Vla2VuZC10cnlpbmctdG8tY29kZS1mcm9tLW91ci1waG9uZXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9] or Windows compatibility yet.

Now she’s going deeper: In a world where AI picks vendors based on ruthless logic, she identifies five kinds of businesses that become irreplaceable. These aren’t the companies with the best models or the slickest interfaces—they’re the ones that own the boring yet essential infrastructure AI must flow through but cannot replace.

The reason? Their sales rep calculated that your CRM’s $30,000 annual contract only delivers $12,000 in value. There was no meeting and no negotiation—because the sales rep was an AI agent. Agents don’t need training like human users of software, and they don’t have loyalty. They evaluate economics in milliseconds and switch the moment it makes business sense, even in the middle of the night. It’s pure ruthlessness. When AI models commoditize—when the latest GPT, Claude, and Gemini models are all making similar decisions based on similar capabilities—the competitive edge for companies shifts from having the best model to having the infrastructure between algorithmic decisions and real-world consequences. This is the infrastructure that AI can’t route around: the boring, essential systems that control access to data agents need, workflows they must execute, and regulations they can’t bypass. And the next few years will determine who owns this layer while everyone else is still building better AI agents. This infrastructure breaks down into five archetypes. I’ll show you how to recognize which one fits your business, where there are opportunities to build outsize businesses, and how to build a competitive advantage before this window closes. If your edge is a model or a coat of user interface like an app or chatbot, it isn’t a moat. What endures is infrastructure AI must flow through, but cannot replace. THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SOFTWARE Before we get into the first archetype, there’s one shift to explain.

KNOWLEDGE COMPOUNDERS: DATA THAT LEARNS WHILE YOU SLEEP The first winners are what I call knowledge compounders. These companies control organized data that agents need and that improves continuously through real-world usage, and requires years of operations to replicate. This data isn’t widely available, so most AI agents wouldn’t have it (and it hasn’t been used to train the major models). Every time a player makes a strategic move in a video game or a doctor confirms that a diagnosis made by AI is indeed correct, the dataset grows stronger. That learning stacks up in ways that competitors can’t shortcut through capital alone (similar to the concept of compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1ob3ctZXZlcnktY29kZXMtd2l0aC1hZ2VudHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9]).

At typical data-collection and labeling costs, building an equivalent dataset from scratch would require hundreds of millions of dollars, yet Medal’s users generate it organically in their quest for recognition. Another example of a company building an edge in data is Mercor, which provides feedback from experts such as lawyers and doctors to AI labs to help improve their models. Even if each generation of frontier models is getting better, in domains such as medicine, law, or finance, the cost of errors is high enough that “good enough” AI isn’t acceptable, and ongoing human judgment is essential. Mercor is betting that demand for human-n-the-loop verification persists even as raw capabilities improve. Knowledge compounders aggregate human judgment at scale, like gamers expressing preferences or doctors confirming diagnoses. When AI agents need to check if their outputs match reality, not just sound plausible, they have to consult these datasets. The alternative is hallucination.

They don’t care about whether or not your software interface is easy to use or aesthetically pleasing.

The shift came when the accumulated workflows became the foundation for AI agent coordination. When someone builds an n8n workflow connecting a CRM to email to Slack—specifying “if deal closes, notify team; if any step fails, retry twice”—they capture institutional knowledge about how work happens. That’s thousands of templates and hundreds of integrations that an agent can’t reverse-engineer. This is the flywheel: Users contribute workflows. The platform learns what sequences closed deals, saved hours, or failed. More users arrive for those proven patterns. If you leave, you’re abandoning a shared library that keeps getting better. As AI models become interchangeable, the layer that stitches them together becomes more valuable. This layer pulls from any provider, plugs into any tool, pulls from any data source, and handles everything models don’t: tracking what happened, managing failures, and recovering from errors. The success of the transition from a human workflow builder to an agent coordination layer will be the decisive factor in how big these companies can get.

When an AI agent wires money to the wrong account, you can’t iterate your way out of it. When it submits a fraudulent insurance claim, you can’t A/B test the regulatory response. This is the layer where silicon logic collides with real-world consequences. Companies that own these “bridges” don’t compete on technical sophistication, but on the boring yet essential guarantee that the wire transfer has arrived correctly in a customer’s bank account. The business model is toll-booth economics: small fees on massive volume that compounds to billions. Stripe, for example, takes roughly 2.9 percent plus 30 cents per transaction. Plaid charges every time an app connects to a bank account. Deel collects a fee on every international contractor payment it processes. The dull is what drives the returns. The alternative to paying the toll is building your own bridge, which could take five years and hundreds of millions annually for compliance—and you still need regulatory approval to touch the payment rails.

The platform solves for the optimal route. In the example of an agent drafting a contract, it runs compliance checks and pulls recent case law: “Send the reasoning to Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLW9wdXMtNC01LWlzLXRoZS1jb2RpbmctbW9kZWwtd2UtdmUtYmVlbi13YWl0aW5nLWZvciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNn0=] for legal reasoning, the code execution to a specialized Llama [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vbmFwa2luLW1hdGgvY2FuLWFueW9uZS1jb21wZXRlLXdpdGgtbWV0YS1zLW5ldy1haS1tb2RlbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30=] instance for executing the compliance, and the search query about recent rulings to Exa [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZGV2LnRvL2F4aXNpbmZvXzBhNjE4MzBlMDZjM2M5NTAvbWVldC1leGEtdGhlLW1vZGVybi1yZXBsYWNlbWVudC1mb3ItbHMtZXZlcnktbGludXgtdXNlci1uZWVkcy0zMXBsIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM4fQ==].” Without the platform, a developer stitches this together manually. As usage scales, the traffic director becomes a marketplace. Not Airbnb, where you browse and choose—more like Uber, where the platform picks based on data you can’t see. Every routed request teaches the platform something: which models actually perform, not just which ones claim to. If model A advertises 99 percent accuracy but fails 15 percent of legal queries, only the platform knows. That knowledges gives it leverage over pricing, traffic, and terms. Buyers stay for reliability guarantees; sellers stay for the volume. However, this archetype carries the highest risk. It bets entirely on fragmentation. If foundation models converge on similar capabilities and costs, the value of a routing marketplace collapses. But if the AI landscape stays messy—with models excelling at different tasks, quality varying by use case—then the marketplace becomes essential infrastructure. If fragmentation prevails, these platforms become the universal translators of value. They won’t just route traffic; they will force every buying and selling agent to speak their specific dialect of trade.

Companies in this category pick industries with high labor costs, complex knowledge requirements, and regulatory barriers—then build AI that handles the entire workflow end-to-end. It’s the same quality at one-tenth the cost. They own the AI, the data, the tools, and the compliance—the entire operation from start to finish. The economics are dramatic. McKinsey charges $2 million for a three-month strategic review involving eight consultants. An AI system might deliver comparable output in 48 hours for $20,000. Traditional law firms dedicate 65 percent of revenue to salaries; AI-driven solutions target human oversight at 5 to 10 percent of costs. A $20,000 two-week legal review can now be executed for $2,000 in two hours. But undercutting on price isn’t enough to win. A simple app built on top of ChatGPT can undercut you on price but has no proprietary moat. By owning the entire workflow—the domain knowledge, the compliance infrastructure, the liability—companies create a lasting advantage. Legal tech company Harvey [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmhhcnZleS5haS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDJ9] is a good example of how this works: Lawyers work alongside its engineers, so the product includes insider knowledge specific to how law firms work that generic models can’t infer. These kinds of businesses are defensible because they can prove exactly which expert reviewed which output, when, and why—a paper trail that a weekend prototype can’t provide and a regulatory prerequisite in many of these industries. While for now, Harvey’s contract limits how much they are on the hook for in the case of a malpractice claim, and law firms must accept the risk [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmhhcnZleS5haS9sZWdhbC9wbGF0Zm9ybS1hZ3JlZW1lbnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDN9] of there being errors in any AI output. In the future, however, a vendor like Harvey might be able to absorb this risk into its pricing. Finally, these companies have the essential elements large companies look for when procuring software, such as secure login systems, compliance with data storage rules that are unique to specific countries, and security certifications. The companies that prove this in a vertical have hard-to-beat advantages—accumulated data, customer trust, and regulatory relationships. But “wins permanently” overstates it. They win time: a head start that matters if they keep executing and evaporates if they don’t. The test will come when a major firm faces a malpractice claim involving AI-assisted work. Whoever can demonstrate a defensible process will dominate the next decade of enterprise AI in regulated industries.

A company accumulates proprietary data, lets users contribute to this data, then becomes the exchange where that data is priced and traded. A workflow platform adds compliance capabilities such as audit trails, using built-up know-how to navigate regulations automatically. Beneath the combinations lies a deeper pattern: Every archetype improves the more it’s used by humans and agents. This is fundamentally different from the software model we’ve known for decades. Traditional SaaS companies shipped updates weekly, maybe monthly. These new businesses ship the latest version every second. The product your customer uses at 3 p.m. is measurably better than the one they used at 9 a.m. because customer interaction data creates new data, refines a workflow, or strengthens a compliance record. This gives them an advantage over the AI labs themselves. OpenAI can train a better model in six months. These companies acquire something harder to copy: institutional memory from millions of real-world transactions. A better model can be trained with enough compute. Institutional memory requires time, customers, and stakes—things money can’t shortcut. One divergence worth noting: Some companies win through horizontal breadth, others through vertical depth. n8n’s workflows apply across industries—marketing, operations, engineering, and finance. Harvey’s value is concentrated in a single domain, where regulatory complexity and liability create natural barriers. Both approaches build on themselves, but they build different things: One accumulates integration knowledge across use cases; the other accumulates domain expertise within a single use case. The horizontal play bets on ubiquity; the vertical play bets on irreplaceability. The model alone is rarely the moat. At 2:17 a.m., your customer’s AI agent will evaluate your value. The winners aren’t building better models or stickier interfaces. They’re building whatever takes the longest to rebuild. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tina He [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGZrcHhscyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0N30=] is a writer and investor at Pace Capital [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEJvcmluZyBCdXNpbmVzc2VzIFRoYXQgV2lsbCBEb21pbmF0ZSB0aGUgQUkgRXJhIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg5MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcGFjZWNhcGl0YWwuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0OH0=] interested in systems of behaviors and beliefs enabled by new markets, networks, and technologies.

It wasn’t just our team that was tinkering around; on X, there was an explosion of people who used the downtime to take their first steps with Claude Code and other AI tools, build projects they’d always dreamed of realizing, and even convert a few parents and grandparents in the process. Given that AI tools are often still tightly limited in corporate settings, these personal wins are a key way that this tech spreads and people become advocates in the workplace.

I had zero coding experience, but I started building anyway. I’m a vinyl record collector, and I’ve always been frustrated by how fragmented the experience is—new releases scattered across subreddits, blogs, Instagram, disconnected tools. DIG is my attempt to fix that: one hub for discovery, tracking, collecting, and a social layer, with Claude-powered features that don’t exist yet. (Screenshots courtesy of Anthony Scarpulla.)

I learned by doing—getting my hands dirty in Claude Code, deploying to Vercel, wiring up Spotify and Discogs APIs. A year ago, I never would’ve thought I could do any of that. The hardest part has been knowing when to stop. With vibe coding, there’s always something new to add. At some point, you have to ship. The real limitation is imagination. You can build almost anything if you’re willing to experiment. My advice: Just start. That, and set up GitHub properly from day one—I accidentally deleted my entire app early on because I didn’t realize Claude Code sessions are ephemeral.

The advice was generic—like ‘Sleep more.’ Yes, I know I need to sleep more. I wanted something more personalized: When should I start winding down? When should I do deep, focused work given how I’d slept? It was one-dimensional. So I built my own AI health assistant hooked to my email, calendar, Oura Ring, and Apple Health. I get personalized updates at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., and whenever my heart rate gets elevated and it looks like it’s veering into stress mode, I get a nice reminder to take a break. It’s wonderful.

Hoffman’s bets: Agents will break out of coding into everything else. One person directing agents will have the capacity of an entire team—his working definition of AGI for 2026. Enterprises that don’t deploy agents at every meeting will fall behind. Discourse will get uglier even as the tools improve. And biology—treated as a language to model molecules—will be the next frontier. 🎧 🖥 Listen on Spotify [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgaW4gYSBUcmVuY2hjb2F0ICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW4uc3BvdGlmeS5jb20vZXBpc29kZS81alZkWko3NTNsVE9yMmpuSmM0VTdRIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==] or Apple Podcasts [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgaW4gYSBUcmVuY2hjb2F0ICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BvZGNhc3RzLmFwcGxlLmNvbS9jYS9wb2RjYXN0L2FpLWluLTIwMjYtcmVpZC1ob2ZmbWFucy1wcmVkaWN0aW9ucy1vbi1hZ2VudHMtd29yay9pZDE3MTk3ODkyMDE_aT0xMDAwNzQ0MTQ1ODAwIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==], or watch on X [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgaW4gYSBUcmVuY2hjb2F0ICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhbnNoaXBwZXIvc3RhdHVzLzIwMDg5MzIwNDk2MTMxODkzNjUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] or YouTube [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgaW4gYSBUcmVuY2hjb2F0ICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PVF5aWVyR0RsTU9ZIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==]. “I Asked Claude the Question I Could Never Ask My Boss” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgaW4gYSBUcmVuY2hjb2F0ICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvaS1hc2tlZC1jbGF1ZGUtdGhlLXF1ZXN0aW9uLWktY291bGQtbmV2ZXItYXNrLW15LWJvc3MiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9] by Katie Parrott/Working Overtime: Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgaW4gYSBUcmVuY2hjb2F0ICIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9] operates on the assumption that she’s about to be fired at all times. So when year-end planning required her to analyze her own performance data, she braced for confirmation. Instead, the numbers showed she was driving a quarter of Every’s subscription trials with only 15 percent of the content. She asked Claude a bold question: Am I good at my job?

But does the advantage of being a prolific writer disappear when everyone can write? Every’s new managing editor argues it doesn’t. Fred Wilson, Julie Zhuo, and Warren Buffett didn’t build their reputations by outsourcing prose; they write to think, not just to market. Eleanor Warnock maps where this archetype thrives.

AI flipped that dynamic. Now every user action costs money, and the companies growing fastest are often bleeding the most. As the founder of a Y Combinator-backed open-source billing company, Anh-Tho Chuong has unique insight into the pricing models that work for AI startups. The upshot: Pricing is no longer a finance problem, it’s a product problem.

I tell it what I need and it happens. Book a table, draft that email in my voice, remind me about the thing I can’t remember but you know is at 2 p.m.… you know, the thing on my calendar—the thing! And it does. Last week I stopped myself mid-sentence and thought: Have we become like Greek gods? Those deities who simply spoke and the world rearranged itself? Perhaps. Because turning voice into material, concrete action is so seductive and easy, I believe we’re returning to an oral culture where the primary interface between thought and reality is speech. But unlike oral cultures of the past, we have a precise record of the original thought, unaltered by the passage of time or minute changes in each retelling. What’s more, I can speak in half-baked thoughts, even vibes—and the machine converts it into cold, hard precision. It completely bypasses the work of translating the mess of consciousness into something others can actually understand. We wanted flying cars. Instead we got the voice of a god, whispering to machines that actually listen.—AS Do you want to get voice-pilled?

Any application you use daily—whether it’s Word, Figma, or Gmail—is a bronze and glass facade towering 500 feet above the street. It is a lobby with travertine walls that smells faintly of sandalwood. Every beam is load-tested. Every force and flow obeys the blueprint. Just to be real with you, I am jealous of architects. I often moonlight as one, but as a programmer, my skyscrapers are shoddy. I start before the blueprint is final; I dig a foundation and sink some beams, but they are usually off by an eighth of an inch. By the time we get to the fifth story, I need a real architect to take over.

The core of an agent-native architecture is not code. Instead, as the name implies, the core is an agent—something squishy and alive, planted in sun and soil. Each feature of the app is a prompt to the agent that names the result to achieve, not a set of steps to follow. That’s why I often think of agent-native apps as Claude Code in a trenchcoat. Because the agent handles the how, developers only have to name the what. This makes apps faster to build, fix, and change. It also makes them malleable [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWdlbnQtbmF0aXZlIEFyY2hpdGVjdHVyZXM6IEhvdyB0byBCdWlsZCBBcHBzIEFmdGVyIHRoZSBFbmQgb2YgQ29kZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L3doYXQtY29tZXMtYWZ0ZXItc2FhcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMH0=]: Users can alter how the app behaves just by changing words in a language we already speak. This levels the playing field of power. Software becomes something we build together, not something only a rarefied few can do. A gardener clips and weeds, but ultimately gardens grow into something that cannot be anticipated or specified [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWdlbnQtbmF0aXZlIEFyY2hpdGVjdHVyZXM6IEhvdyB0byBCdWlsZCBBcHBzIEFmdGVyIHRoZSBFbmQgb2YgQ29kZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L3NlZWluZy1saWtlLWEtbGFuZ3VhZ2UtbW9kZWwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9]. It is wild, flexible, and free. And for someone like me—and for millions of others—it’s the first time that the way I build isn’t a liability. Agent-native architectures are terrifying and unintuitive from an architect’s perspective. “How can we allow software so much freedom?” This, of course, is really a question about users and ourselves. I wonder if, in a few years, living in a garden of agents, we’ll look back at our era of tall, precise, and perfect skyscrapers wistfully.

She hadn’t asked for references, and the few minutes we spent together could hardly count as an interview. “Because I like your writing,” she said. “It’s no-bullshit.” This wasn’t the first time writing had opened a door for me. And I’m not the only one. Across knowledge work fields, I see what I call writing-first practitioners: professionals who use consistent public writing—on blogs, in newsletters, through op-eds, on social media—to sharpen their thinking, build networks, and attract opportunity.

And of course, we can’t forget the OG: legendary investor Warren Buffet… more on him later. Though the glow of brand building and content marketing are usually the things that make people jealous of these individuals, that’s not why they write and, indeed, not the greatest benefit of their urge to scribble. These individuals write first and foremost for themselves. Through the personal and often intimate act of putting words down, taking an intellectual stance and sharing that with the world, they end up making better decisions about where to invest their money or time. Writing-first practitioners have always competed on distribution; anyone can start a blog or post on LinkedIn. Now, with AI, they’re competing on production, too. As tools like Claude and ChatGPT make it trivially easy to generate content, does the writing-first edge disappear when everyone can write?

That’s also why I joined Every late last year as managing editor. Drawing on these experiences, I’ll demonstrate where writing-first practitioners shine and why companies should want to hire them in 2026. WHERE WRITING CREATES DISPROPORTIONATE LEVERAGE The writing-first archetype exists in any profession built on expertise and trust, from roles like marketing to professions that require formal credentials, such as medicine. Writing creates disproportionate advantages under these conditions: 1. Results and track record lag or stay hidden. It takes a decade to know if a venture capitalist is a good company picker. An executive coach’s impact on a client’s career after years of counseling may never be shared publicly. In fields where results and track record lag or stay hidden, writing is an interim signal of competence. AI can generate content, but it can’t demonstrate judgment accumulated over years of experience. 2. Profit opportunities flow through networks. In venture capital, access to the best deals directly impacts returns, something that communications professional Lulu Cheng Meservey (and her LPs) keenly understood when she raised a $40 million fund last month [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXhpb3MuY29tLzIwMjUvMTIvMDcvbHVsdS1jaGVuZy1tZXNlcnZleS12ZW50dXJlLWNhcGl0YWwiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9]. For executive recruiters, access to talent can determine success or failure. Writing makes investors, collaborators, and candidates aware of you even before you need them. AI-generated content might fill a feed, but it doesn’t build the trust that makes someone open your cold email. 3. Fast-moving or emerging industries. In fast-moving or emerging industries like tech, the window to act is short. Writing forces real-time synthesis; you process what’s happening, form a view, and spot openings while others are still waiting for clarity. AI tools can summarize what’s already known, but they can’t give you a point of view on what you don’t yet know. 4. Output is subjective, and clients aren’t experts. In fields like design, branding, consulting, and coaching, clients often lack the expertise to judge quality directly. When a Fortune 500 company hires a branding agency, the decision-makers usually aren’t designers. Instead, these clients rely on proxies such as referrals and reputation. Writing positions you as someone worth trusting. One could argue that podcasts and, in particular, video podcasts, can serve a similar purpose as a medium that allows professionals to publicly share and gain recognition for a point of view. There is a larger umbrella of “content-first practitioners” that includes podcasters like investor Harry Stebbings, who parlayed his 20VC [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldHdlbnR5bWludXRldmMuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=] podcast [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldHdlbnR5bWludXRldmMuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=] into founding a venture firm. While podcasting can be a way to process and shape ideas in real time—particularly if the podcast involves conversations with other smart practitioners—writing imposes a discipline on thought that podcasts do not. Writing publicly requires one to commit to an angle and a view, distilled into something clear and concise. You are forced to take a decisive step in one direction or another, a process that, done over and over again, becomes progress [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L3dyaXRpbmctYXMtYS13YXktb2YtdGhpbmtpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9]. Compared to this, hours-long podcasts feel more like a first draft of thinking. WHY AI SHARPENS THE EDGE When that venture capitalist in Paris glommed onto my writing, what she liked wasn’t any particular thing I said but how I said it, my “no-bullshit” voice. Just as writing hones your thinking, over time it hones your style of thinking, expressed outwardly as your writing voice. Even the best writers don’t start out with a fully formed voice. The essays and fiction I wrote 10 years ago are totally different from what they are now, and that reflects the writing I’ve done, the writing I’ve read, and what I’ve learned from both. When the whole world is working with AI tools that tend to normalize writing to an unobjectionable range, the cultivation of a uniquely personal voice becomes even more valuable. This observation isn’t new [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3doYXQtYmVjb21lcy12YWx1YWJsZS13aGVuLWFpLW1ha2VzLWNyZWF0aXZlLXdvcmstZWFzeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30=], but it bears repeating: The practitioners who have developed a unique and recognizable voice have a head start that cannot be prompted into existence. There’s a less obvious way AI sharpens this edge: networks. As AI tools make data analysis and information synthesis easier, proprietary human relationships become more valuable. Writing has always been a way to attract those relationships—people reaching out because they’ve read your work and want to connect. In a world where everyone can synthesize information, the network you’ve built by thinking in public becomes your true moat. THE CATCH: YOU CAN’T FAKE IT I often get asked by founders and investors how I can create this magic for them. They want the inbound leads, the reputation and the network effects…the glow. The bad news: If you’re asking how to become this archetype, chances are you won’t. In my experience, people who are writing-first practitioners start not because they are eager to build their network or get ahead in their career. They write because they can’t stop themselves. They have a natural aptitude for processing ideas on page or screen. They would be writing whether they had 10 followers or 100,000—and very often they build the 100,000 from those first 10. This can’t be forced. And it can’t be outsourced. What usually happens is that someone tries for a while, then runs out of steam. Or they hire me to ghostwrite, and I end up generating not just the words but the ideas—because they don’t actually have much to say, or because they don’t understand that forcing yourself to do the writing is how you get more ideas. It takes courage, too. Writing-first practitioners dare to put things out there that they know might be wrong in a few years. They aren’t afraid for their writing to get feedback and criticism, or push on even when they are afraid. They understand that the writing is a means to an end, not a performance. That is not to discourage people who have been writing diligently in private. Everyone who became a writing-first practitioner had to put themselves out there for the first time at some point. When I’ve been nervous about going public with something, I’ve asked professional contacts to give me feedback (“I’ll give you credit at the bottom of the piece [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jaGllZndvcmRvZmZpY2VyLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS9wL3RoZS1vbmUtdGhpbmctd3JpdGVycy1nZXQtd3JvbmctYWJvdXQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9]”) and friends to keep me accountable for publishing (“WhatsApp me on Friday to check if I’ve published this”). WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE WRITING-FIRST PRACTITIONERS If you are an employer, you should want to hire writing-first practitioners—and let them do their thing. By bringing attention to themselves, they automatically bring attention to your company. For example, many people who are prolific writers have told me their writing has given them the opportunity to speak at industry conferences with more frequency than non-writers, giving their employers some free publicity. Don’t forget that other magic of writing, either; these individuals are sharpening their perspectives through words and bringing that to your customers. Yet many companies get this wrong. I’ve interviewed at places that were visibly nervous about me writing on LinkedIn or contributing journalistic pieces to external media, which was odd, because my writing and personal brand were often the reason why they wanted to interview me in the first place. An angel investor I know went to work for a big tech company and was told he’d need to shut down his long-running podcast about startups. He pushed back and eventually negotiated the communications team’s sign-off only for episodes in which he spoke about his employer…which was never. He has long since left that employer, but his podcast continues. A writing-first practitioner with a platform is free marketing for your business. The risk of them writing something reputationally damaging to your business is near zero; why would they want to jeopardize the company that pays their bills? That tiny risk is far outweighed by having smart people associated with your company. Finally, writers are good communicators full stop, so they are an internal asset when we consider how much money poor communications costs companies [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlYXRsYW50aWMuY29tL3Nwb25zb3JlZC9ncmFtbWFybHktMjAyNC90aGUtaGlnaC1zdGFrZXMtb2YtcG9vci1jb21tdW5pY2F0aW9uLzM4NzcvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==]—Grammarly puts it at an estimated $9,284 per worker annually [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ3JhbW1hcmx5LmNvbS9idXNpbmVzcy9sZWFybi93b3JrZm9yY2UtcHJvZHVjdGl2aXR5LWdsb3NzYXJ5LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=]. THE TECH STACK FOR WRITING-FIRST PRACTITIONERS Even if AI won’t turn anyone into a writing-first practitioner, those who do put writing first can get a lot out of AI. Here’s my tech stack: 1. Otter: I use Otter [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vdHRlci5haS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] for recording conversations and capturing quotes from those conversations.

Claude projects: I keep separate projects for each of my writing worlds, including the writing I do after living in Japan for many years and speaking the language fluently. For example, I have one project for my Japanese-language writing with instructions that include context about the specific topics I cover in Japanese. The project documents include samples of my Japanese writing. 3. Substack/LinkedIn: These are my primary distribution channels, though X is also fertile ground for writing-first practitioners. 4. Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hcHAud3JpdGV3aXRoc3BpcmFsLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9]: The writing I do for articles and newsletters is always 100 percent me, no AI, but for things like quick updates on LinkedIn, I use Every’s AI writing tool Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEhleWRheSBvZiB0aGUgV3JpdGluZy1maXJzdCBQcmFjdGl0aW9uZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODg2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93cml0ZXdpdGhzcGlyYWwuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] for the draft. I love that it gives you three drafts to play around with and compare, and I find that when I use the Writing Style trained on my LinkedIn posts, I get better output than on Claude. THE ARCHETYPE ENDURES Years before my coffee interview with the venture capitalist, on the first week of my MBA program in France, a thick FedEx envelope arrived from my dad. Inside: a stack of decades of Warren Buffett’s shareholder letters. I learned as much from those letters as I did from my finance coursework. Buffett wasn’t trying to teach me directly—he was writing to his shareholders, processing his own thinking, building a public record of his judgment. But I benefited all the same. This is the other side of the writing-first practice: Readers benefit, too. Fred Wilson’s blog has taught a generation of founders how to think about venture capital. Julie Zhuo’s writing has shaped how thousands of managers approach their work. These practitioners have created—and are still creating—a body of knowledge that others can learn from long after they’re gone. AI might be able to simulate the no-nonsense style of a Warren Buffett letter, but it can’t replicate his self-criticism and generosity with lessons, hard-won from real-life experience and honed through his very act of writing. That’s why this archetype endures. And if you’re not a writing-first practitioner, the next best thing is to find them—and start reading. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eleanor Warnock is the managing editor at Every.

There was significant development in agentic coding capabilities—which we saw in the rise in popularity of tools like Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvaG93LWktdXNlLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlLXRvLXNoaXAtbGlrZS1hLXRlYW0tb2YtZml2ZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMX0=] and Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLWNvZGV4LW9wZW5haS1zLW5ldy1jb2RpbmctYWdlbnQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9]—but only a relatively small number of people benefited. He sees 2026 as the year we move from “agentic coding” to “agents in everything else.” In practice, that means that exponentially more people will know what it’s like to walk away from their computer, grab a coffee, and return to find productive work completed in their absence. Going a level deeper, Hoffman predicts that as agents become more widespread, “orchestration,” or managing agents [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC90aGUta25vd2xlZGdlLWVjb25vbXktaXMtb3Zlci13ZWxjb21lLXRvLXRoZS1hbGxvY2F0aW9uLWVjb25vbXkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzN9] working in parallel, will become an important skill for knowledge workers. He expects this trend to accelerate in the last quarter of 2026 and land even more strongly in 2027. PLAN FOR A CROWDED FIELD IN THE CODING AGENT RACE On the competitive landscape for companies making agentic coding tools, Hoffman expects 2026 to look like a horse race: the leaders such as OpenAI and Anthropic staying neck-and-neck, trading the front position back and forth as new launches push one contender slightly ahead, then the other. According to him, the era of OpenAI “blazing ahead alone” is over, and he credits Anthropic for what they achieved with Opus 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay92aWJlLWNoZWNrLW9wdXMtNC01LWlzLXRoZS1jb2RpbmctbW9kZWwtd2UtdmUtYmVlbi13YWl0aW5nLWZvciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNH0=] and Claude Code [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcG9kY2FzdC9ob3ctdG8tdXNlLWNsYXVkZS1jb2RlLWxpa2UtdGhlLXBlb3BsZS13aG8tYnVpbHQtaXQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzV9] using less capital and compute than competitors. None of the front-runners will fall out of the race completely, he predicts, while noting that companies who have scarcely entered, such as Apple, will only find it harder to catch up. Meanwhile, Hoffman is watching for breakout moves from smaller players like Replit [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC9haS1hbmQtdGhlLWZ1dHVyZS1vZi1wcm9ncmFtbWluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNn0=] and Lovable, predicting that “with pretty high probability, something will surprise us here.” #2 AGI IN 2026 WILL BE ONE PERSON WITH THE CAPACITY OF A TEAM When asked for his take on humanity’s timeline for achieving AGI, Hoffman quips that his go-to joke is that AGI is “the AI we haven’t invented yet” because by some definitions, we already have it. For example, AI can already write research reports faster than humans, so a more useful question is what meaning we will give to the term AGI in 2026. While Hoffman doesn’t expect the sci-fi version—a “press-a-button, fully human-capable software engineer”—he does anticipate humans doing high-leverage work by directing teams of agents, so that a single person operates with the capacity of an entire team. That agent-driven “AGI,” Hoffman predicts, will expand beyond coding into broader domains in 2026. #3 ENTERPRISES THAT SLEEP ON AI WILL BE LEFT BEHIND The current narrative is that enterprise AI deployments haven’t lived up to the hype [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC93aHktOTUtcGVyY2VudC1vZi1haS1waWxvdHMtZmFpbC1hbmQtaG93LXRvLWF2b2lkLWl0LWhhcHBlbmluZy10by15b3UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzd9]. Hoffman thinks that will change—but big companies need to get out of their own way first. By the end of 2026, he predicts, any company that wants to be “a thriving, growing concern” will need to be recording every meeting and running agents on the output, to identify who should be notified, surface action items, and prepare briefings for the next meeting. If you’re not doing it by then, it’s like insisting “cars won’t be a big thing, we can keep doing horses and buggies.” Beyond meetings, he expects companies to systematically deploy groups of agents to solve problems across the organization—another reason he sees orchestration as the defining capability of the next phase. #4 DISCOURSE AROUND AI MIGHT GET UGLIER—EVEN AS THE TOOLS IMPROVE Most people have never experienced what it feels like to succeed at creating something, and tools like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Sora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBSZWlkIEhvZmZtYW4gTWFrZXMgRml2ZSBQcmVkaWN0aW9ucyBBYm91dCBBSSBJbiAyMDI2IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4NSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY2hhaW4tb2YtdGhvdWdodC9zb3JhLWFuZC10aGUtZnV0dXJlLW9mLWZpbG1tYWtpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzh9] are changing that, Hoffman says. However, he expects popular discourse about AI to become even more negative as the technology is blamed for causing broader social change. While he does believe that as AI becomes more capable and integrated, its real impacts will grow—job roles will change, for example—according to Hoffman, the technology will become a catch-all scapegoat for “things being…different than [people] would like.” #5 BIOLOGY WILL BE THE NEXT ‘LANGUAGE’ AI LEARNS When asked to name an unsung AI category we’ll be talking about by the end of 2026, Hoffman points to biology, an area he’s been focusing on through his work at drug discovery startup Manas AI. Right now, the frontier is dominated by AI that stays close to human language—either natural language itself or code. But he expects everything we’ve learned about building AI to be applied to “language sets” further from human language, like biological systems. In essence, that means treating biology as a kind of language to model molecules and pathways, and generate new hypotheses about how life works. What do you use AI for?

My entire career, I’d been told to use numbers to show results—in performance reviews, in job interviews—but I’d never had the data fluency to do that. Yet when I fed the fourth quarter numbers on my articles to Claude and ChatGPT and started to see proof that my work was making an impact in terms of driving traffic and sheer output, some dormant part of my brain activated like a sleeper agent, and suddenly I was three hours deep in spreadsheets. AI helped me do something I’d never managed on my own: believe I’m good at my job. If AI can democratize business intelligence for someone with my particular brand of professional self-loathing, it can probably help you understand your own value, too. Here’s how I ran the analysis.

Out of all the legendary crashes of 2010, it was just silly. The company’s pitfall was simple: It gave customers $9.95 a month to see up to 30 movies while the company paid theaters $10 per ticket. As it turns out, you can’t offer a 96.68 percent discount for very long. Companies building products powered by AI today face the same trap. In traditional software as a service, once you have paid your developers and Amazon Web Services for storage, it doesn’t cost you any more if more people use your product. But AI companies pay LLM providers per use. Growth is expensive. AI vibe coding platform Replit learned this the hard way. The people who use it to code apps and websites pay a monthly fee, plus a bit more if they use it a lot. Meanwhile, Replit has to pay to use the LLMs that power it. Gross margins—revenue minus direct costs—collapsed from 36 percent gross margin last February to negative 14 percent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEFJIE1hZGUgUHJpY2luZyBIYXJkIEFnYWluIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRoZWluZm9ybWF0aW9uLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9yZXBsaXRzLW1hcmdpbnMtaWxsdXN0cmF0ZS1oaWdoLWNvc3RzLWNvZGluZy1hZ2VudHM_cmM9NjV3ZHp3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjh9] in April; it was losing money the more customers used it.

It’s clear to me that the era of a one-size-fits-all pricing strategy is over. There is not concrete clear information for founders and teams building with AI and worried about how much to charge when much of their revenue is going toward LLMs. AI has shrunk not only gross profit margins, but also the margin for error when competition is so fierce. That makes figuring out product pricing and maintaining reasonably healthy margins a full-company effort. If you are building an AI company, more of your team beyond the finance department will need to know about pricing, monetization, and margins. Founders and builders need to understand the five pricing models that can be adapted to AI tools so companies don’t face bankruptcy from LLM costs. If you follow these new pricing principles for the AI age, you’ll understand why your engineering team needs to care about margins as much as your CFO does, and how to structure pricing that turns AI’s marginal costs from a liability into a competitive advantage. AI PRICING MODELS: WHERE THEY SUCCEED AND WHERE THEY FAIL Let’s break down the pricing models on which you can build a sustainable business when much of your costs come from paying LLMs. USAGE-BASED PRICING: PAY FOR WHAT YOU CONSUME Usage-based pricing is where you only pay for what you consume. This is how infrastructure providers like Amazon Web Services or OpenAI charge their customers—per gigabyte stored or token processed. Replit pays OpenAI per token processed, both input and output, instead of with a fixed subscription. OpenAI charges customers by millions of tokens. One million tokens is roughly 750,000 words.

(Source: Cursor.) This model is ideal for products where reliability is paramount, such as code editors, infrastructure, or communication tools. If users weren’t able to use Cursor after going over the included usage, for example, business-critical engineering workflows would be interrupted. This pricing strategy does risk backlash: When users don’t have good visibility into their spending (or don’t get notifications), you should stay away from charging overages to avoid surprise bills that destroy trust. CREDIT-BASED PRICING: A USAGE PLAN THAT FEELS UNLIMITED Some AI companies charge a subscription that includes usage in the form of credits: Buy 1,000 credits for $50, spend 10 credits per AI image and five credits per text generation. Compared to the overage model, this hybrid pricing model insulates vendors from high AI costs and doesn’t burden customers with worrying about surprise bills; users can’t go over their allocated use unless they buy more credits. The core advantage of credits is psychological: When the subscription includes enough credits, the subscription feels unlimited. Users don’t have the feeling of spending money each time they use it. Credits are useful in three use cases: 1. Consumer products where users don’t understand abstract usage units like graphics processing unit hours (a standard metric for measuring computing use) or LLM tokens. An example of this could be an AI photo editor. Users are more likely to understand how many photos they can edit than “GPU hours.” 2. Products with many features with different costs. If generating an AI image costs you $0.50 per image while generating a text summary costs $0.05, a flat “generations” fee won’t work. One power user creating images could wipe out your margins, while someone just creating text barely costs you anything. Credits solve this: You can charge 10 credits for image generation and one credit for text generation. Claude is a good example: When hovering the model selector, it warns me that the more powerful Opus model consumes my usage budget faster. 3. User-initiated workflows where usage is always conscious and credits aren’t consumed without user intention. Take the example of a tool such as Athena [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEFJIE1hZGUgUHJpY2luZyBIYXJkIEFnYWluIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmF0aGVuYWhxLmFpL2Fib3V0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ==] that helps companies show up in AI search tools. Users must manually decide how often to run queries about how their brand is performing in generative AI search. The product’s subscription comes with credits users can spend on different models, each consuming a set amount of credits per query.

OUTCOME-BASED PRICING: PAY ONLY FOR THE RESULT Outcome-based pricing is a new pricing strategy enabled by AI: Customers only pay when the AI delivers a specific result.

Support tickets are rare: You know if they are resolved or not, and one ticket does not affect others. Most knowledge work (such as creating a report about a website’s performance, or an app design) is not this clear-cut, so the four other pricing models are better suited. THREE CORE PRINCIPLES OF PRICING WITH AI Now that I have explained the new pricing models that AI enables, let’s look at the principles that founders need to keep in mind when deciding which works best for their company. 1. PRICING FLOWS FROM YOUR COSTS This sounds obvious, but pricing needs to cover your costs (you’d be surprised how often it doesn’t! See: MoviePass). It’s why Cursor, AI coding assistant GitHub Copilot [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEFJIE1hZGUgUHJpY2luZyBIYXJkIEFnYWluIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9mZWF0dXJlcy9jb3BpbG90IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==], and others have recently introduced more rate limits [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEFJIE1hZGUgUHJpY2luZyBIYXJkIEFnYWluIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmhlaXNlLmRlL2VuL2JhY2tncm91bmQvUHJpY2UtaGlrZS1mb3ItQUktY29kaW5nLXRvb2xzLVRoZS1GcmVlLUx1bmNoLUlzLU92ZXItMTA1MTE0ODAuaHRtbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=]—caps on how many queries users can run per hour—and/or usage-based pricing: They got paid a fixed amount, but paid their vendors for usage (often more than their revenue for that subscription). 2. CUSTOMERS SHOULD PAY FOR VALUE Figma’s value comes from teams collaborating, not frames created, so it charges per seat. Notion’s value is workspace organization, not pages written, so it charges per user. The reverse is true for databases. Take Google Firebase, a service that provides database storage, user authentication, analytics, and hosting for apps. The value you receive as a customer of Google Firebase scales directly with how many people use your app because each new user means more data stored and more requests processed. That’s why charging per active user makes sense. If your app has 100 users, Firebase does minimal work. If it has 100,000 users, Firebase handles exponentially more. The pricing reflects this reality. The price per user falls the more users you have on Google Firebase. (Source: Google Firebase.)

(Source: Google Firebase.) 3. THE BUYING EXPERIENCE MATTERS You have to price how customers want to pay. Cheap or transparent doesn’t always win. Julien Codorniou, who led the now-defunct Slack competitor Workplace at Facebook (now Meta) from 2016 to 2021, wanted to implement what he calls “fair pricing.” In other words, customers would only be billed for active users while inactive seats would be free. But he found that CFOs preferred a fixed price over a fair price. They cared more about how they paid than how much they paid. Humans don’t want to overthink purchases. Predictability beats savings. These three principles can be summed up in a simple matrix and two questions to determine your pricing model. 1. Does value scale with usage? (Principle 2: pay for value) 2. How do customers want to pay? (Principle 3: buying experience) (Credit: Anh-Tho Chuong.)

This 2x2 reveals a difference between B2C (like Netflix) and B2B (like Intercom’s Fin): Consumers typically don’t want to think about pricing and care most about predictability, so they prefer subscriptions and credits to not overthink their usage. For instance, you probably wouldn’t want to pay Netflix per watched minute because it would mean overthinking every movie you watch. Businesses are happier to deal with the complexity of usage-based pricing in order to control costs. The exception is infrastructure, which only applies in the B2B context. Enterprise companies accept usage-based pricing when buying raw compute or storage. Like any framework, this is simplified—all of these are a spectrum. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT QUARTER, NEXT YEAR, NEXT DECADE I’d love to predict a simple future in which pricing is easy again. But I don’t think so. Instead, teams and organizations will spend more time on pricing, monetization, and unit economics. At Lago, we recently launched a billing AI agent that automates common billing workflows, like applying a coupon or retrying payments, as well as a revenue forecasting model tool. To ensure we wouldn’t foot the bill for excessive AI usage, we built guardrails like limiting API requests, or how many times users could ask for data. This was a shared effort of engineering, which built the logic, product, which estimated how the product would be used, and other teams. This example generalizes to most AI feature launches I’ve seen. Pricing isn’t a niche finance activity anymore. It requires the full team: engineering (which needs to build pricing logic), finance (which needs to ensure financial sustainability), and growth (which needs to ensure competitiveness). In the next quarter, engineers will be asked to use AI more efficiently, and product teams will face constraints around how economical their AI solutions are. Your chief financial officer will walk into an engineering standup and ask questions you never expected: “Why did our OpenAI bill spike 40 percent when usage only grew 15 percent?” These won’t be accounting questions—they’ll be product questions. Was it users gaming unlimited plans? A model upgrade you didn’t notice? A feature that seemed small but consumed tokens at scale? In the next year, we’re entering a different era: AI products are growing revenue at astounding rates—no-code app builder Lovable generated $100 million in annual recurring revenue [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEFJIE1hZGUgUHJpY2luZyBIYXJkIEFnYWluIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg4MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbG92YWJsZS5kZXYvYmxvZy9hZ2VudCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=] in eight months. The Swedish company uses a credit-based pricing system for consumers, and some usage-based pricing for backend services like hosting. The successful AI companies will be the ones whose pricing model aligns engineering with user value. In the next decade, we’ll look back to today—when AI forced SaaS to reckon with real marginal costs—as the moment when pricing became hard again, which made the software business honest again. The survivors will succeed because their product and pricing models worked. Companies that embrace this complexity as a design problem, not just a finance problem, will build products that earn margins, support sustainable growth, and beat competitors in the long run—instead of becoming another example like MoviePass. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anh-Tho Chuong is the cofounder of Lago.

He uses the tool as a “a brainstorming partner, uploading research documents and letting it help me see what I’m missing.

Eventually, anything a developer can do—changing logic, fixing bugs, customizing behavior—will be something the agent handles on the user’s behalf.” Kieran puts it simply: 2026 is when agents go mainstream. Natalia thinks the most advanced companies will have agentic workflows embedded in daily operations by year’s end—particularly in finance, where “AI will allow tech-forward firms to synthesize an even broader amount of information. This will change the industry, similar to the way quantitative finance changed the industry.” 2. New roles are emerging. Dan predicts a third kind of engineer: agentic engineers who fully delegate implementation to AI and move up a level to managing and orchestrating agents. Kate expects most companies to have at least one dedicated role focused on building and maintaining internal AI systems by 2026—“someone whose job is to continuously optimize how the organization uses AI.” Ashwin says he thinks that workflows will change for analysts such as himself, too. “Right now I’m hopping between tools, but I want to ideally run everything from my terminal and let Claude integrate my research and somehow put it all together in a document.” 3. Designers become superheroes. Dan’s prediction: “There’s a whole class of highly creative, highly visual people who have been held back from making full experiences because they can’t code. Now they’re going to be able to code.” But Brandon says a prerequisite for designers embracing AI will be tools that don’t make it feel like coding, and hence are less intimidating. The next wave of builders may not look like the last one. The wildcard: Head of platform Willie Williams has a prediction you won’t see coming: A mass-market robotic pet succeeds by the end of 2026. He bought a robotic cat and brought it to meetings. “About 85 percent of people viscerally hate it and want to throw it out, 10 percent are neutral, and 5 percent absolutely love it.” He’s watching a fluffy robot called Moflin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnnigJlzIDIwMjYgUHJlZGljdGlvbnMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODgxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FzaW8uY29tL3VzL21vZmxpbi8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9], which he says has “nailed the experience of threading the uncanny valley.” Someone’s going to figure this out. WHAT WE’RE READING For a raw and nostalgic look at software development, Kieran recommends Jordan Mechner’s The Making of Prince of Persia [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnnigJlzIDIwMjYgUHJlZGljdGlvbnMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODgxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9wcmVzcy5zdHJpcGUuY29tL3RoZS1tYWtpbmctb2YtcHJpbmNlLW9mLXBlcnNpYSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=]—the original game development journals. Willie suggests How We Got Here by Andy Kessler, a 20-year-old book about power and computation innovations that frames today’s AI and data center headlines in historical context. Kate calls out Leslie Jamison’s essay “The Pain of Perfectionism [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnnigJlzIDIwMjYgUHJlZGljdGlvbnMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjozODgxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV3eW9ya2VyLmNvbS9tYWdhemluZS8yMDI1LzA4LzExL3RoZS1wYWluLW9mLXBlcmZlY3Rpb25pc20iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9]” in the New Yorker, which brilliantly reframes perfectionism from a humblebrag into what psychologists call a “personally terrorizing” state driven by fear rather than aspiration.

A year ago, you could get pretty far with these tools—but unless you were a professional developer, you’d eventually hit a wall of errors and bugs that would stop you cold. Now, with models like Anthropic’s Opus 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1vcHVzLTQtNS1pcy10aGUtY29kaW5nLW1vZGVsLXdlLXZlLWJlZW4td2FpdGluZy1mb3IiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9], you can just keep going. Dan believes this shift will change how apps are built and who they’re built by, what he’s calling “agent-native architecture.” He describes it as a ladder with three rungs: Level 1: Anything you can do, the agent can do. Many apps today have AI assistants you can chat with to help you do things inside the app—but they’re limited to specific tasks. In an agent-native app, the AI would operate the software the same way you would, accessing every button, setting, and feature available to you. Dan sees early versions of this in OpenAI’s browser Atlas [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1vcGVuYWktcy1uZXctYWktYnJvd3Nlci1hdGxhcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=]. For instance, when someone asks him to add them to a team in one of Every’s shared workspaces such as Notion, instead of navigating through clunky settings pages himself, he just asks Atlas to do it. Level 2: Anything the code in the app can do, the agent can do. Apps run all kinds of processes behind the scenes that users never directly control. For example, Cora [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvcmEuY29tcHV0ZXIvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==]—Every’s email assistant—generates a twice-daily “Brief” that summarizes your inbox, and there’s underlying code that could regenerate that Brief in different writing styles. In an agent-native app, the AI would be able to access that hidden capability: Instead of being stuck with the default summary, you could ask an agent to redo it—shorter, punchier, more formal, whatever you want. The idea is that the agent can reach into the app’s “backstage,” taking advantage of a capability that exists in the code but isn’t exposed as a user-facing feature today Level 3: Anything a developer can do, the agent can do. By this, Dan means that the AI agent can do the kinds of things only developers can do today. In practice, that means a user could ask for a change, and the agent would implement it directly, whether that’s fixing a bug, adding a feature, or modifying how the software works. Sometimes that change might be shipped to everyone; other times, it could result in a personalized version of the app tailored to a single user. Dan says Every is already experimenting with this internally, and while it’s still early, he sees companies like Anthropic and Notion thinking along similar lines—building software where both humans and agents are “first-class citizens,” rather than bolting AI onto apps designed purely for human use. #2 DESIGNERS WILL START BUILDING THEIR OWN TOOLS Dan points out that designers and creatives have been held back from building full experiences because they couldn’t code, but this is starting to change. He points to Lucas Crespo [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BsdWNhc2NyZXNwbyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=], Every’s creative lead, as an example: He’s gone from a traditional designer to someone who vibe codes small apps that make his own work easier. Brandon, however, raises a concern about how far this will spread. He recalls being afraid of the coding terminal himself, and suspects many designers will feel the same way about working inside something like AI code editor Cursor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2N1cnNvci5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIxfQ==]. If tools like Cursor want to expand beyond engineers and reach designers at scale, Brandon argues, they’ll likely need to abstract the code away so the average designer isn’t scared off before they even start. #3 THE NEW KIND OF SOFTWARE ENGINEER WILL DIRECT AI AGENTS As AI capabilities have evolved, two kinds of software builders have emerged. On one side are engineers who treat AI as an accelerant to their normal process: They use AI to move faster, but they still read the code, and even write parts of it themselves. On the other side are vibe coders [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvaXQtcy1tZS1oaS1pLW0tdGhlLXZpYmUtY29kZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjJ9], who can get something running without really understanding what’s under the hood. Dan argues there’s a third category emerging: the “agentic engineers.” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2MvY29tcG91bmRpbmctZW5naW5lZXJpbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9] Instead of writing code, they’ve redefined the job of software development around directing AI agents.

It’s a conscious trade: Many of them accept that their old coding muscle will weaken in exchange for a new one, which is becoming a better manager of agents as the primary way software gets made. #4 THE NEXT WAVE OF AI TRAINING WILL INDEX FOR INDEPENDENCE Dan uses childhood development as an analogy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0Ijoi8J-OpyBGb3VyIFByZWRpY3Rpb25zIGZvciBIb3cgQUkgV2lsbCBDaGFuZ2UgU29mdHdhcmUgaW4gMjAyNiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjM4ODAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L3Rvd2FyZC1hLWRlZmluaXRpb24tb2YtYWdpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==] for where AI agents are headed. At first, you can only leave babies alone for five minutes with supervision, but over the years, children can play in another room for longer and longer stretches without anything going wrong. Similarly, a few years ago, large language models could really only handle a single turn at a time; now they can run for 20 minutes—sometimes close to an hour—without needing you to step in. But running for an hour is still a long way from running indefinitely. Dan thinks getting to true autonomy—where it’s economically worthwhile to have an agent constantly doing things without you telling it what to do—is a genuinely hard problem. Achieving autonomy requires continuous learning, a clear sense of goals, and the ability to modify those goals in ways that make sense over time. Part of the challenge, Dan argues, is how we’ve trained these models. Alignment training is designed to make agents predictable and obedient—to do exactly what you say. And to become truly autonomous, Dan believes agents will need the freedom to explore and make mistakes, something we’ve been hesitant to allow for safety reasons. He predicts the coming year will bring new training approaches and architectures that start to loosen those reins, letting agents do things more independently. What do you use AI for?

It creates a unique folder structure in any folder you point it at and organizes it for you automatically. It’s organized millions of files and counting so far.

It's an endless to-do list written by everyone else, all at once. That's why we built Cora ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/xmu6l6wd93a3um0kngagu2qxgkllinh8lr4l/g3hnh5h32v88e3cr/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnlkcmlwY2FtcGFpZ24= ). It's the most human way to manage your email, turning your inbox into a story. Here's how Cora works: 1. See only the messages that truly need your reply. Everything else is auto-archived and summarized in two concise daily briefs. 2. Get replies drafted in your own voice. Cora writes context-aware responses you can send with one tweak—or none at all. 3. Tell Cora Assistant exactly how to handle the rest: * Create custom categories ("Make a folder called Investment Ops and file all stock recommendations there"). * Set forever rules ("Always keep emails from @every.to in my inbox"). * Or teach it specialized replies ("When a cold email asks to be on my podcast, thank them and send this form"). ​ Join ​the ​cofounder of Instagram and CPO of Anthropic​ Mike Krieger​ ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/xmu6l6wd93a3um0kngagu2qxgkllinh8lr4l/9qhzhnhp87vvgdh9/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9taWtleWsvc3RhdHVzLzE4ODEwMTkwMjUwNTQyMjA2MDc= )​ in freeing yourself from email and reclaim 1–2 hours every day—and a calmer mind. -->Start your free trial ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/xmu6l6wd93a3um0kngagu2qxgkllinh8lr4l/g3hnh5h32v88e3cr/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JhLmNvbXB1dGVyP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnlkcmlwY2FtcGFpZ24= ) Start your free trial ( https://cora.computer?utm_source=everydripcampaign )—The Every team You received this email because you signed up for emails from Every ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.convertkit-mail2.com/xmu6l6wd93a3um0kngagu2qxgkllinh8lr4l/z2hghnh3vmgevptp/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50bw== ).

So he cobbled together a speech-to-text system and started talking to Codex instead of typing commands himself. That forced constraint—having to tell the computer what to do rather than execute the instructions via his keyboard—taught him something the rest of the team eventually adopted: Treating Codex like a new coworker you’re onboarding delivers stronger results than treating it like a tool you’re configuring (Codex doesn’t remember previous conversations automatically). “Every session is onboarding this new coworker [anew].” Marsan and Alexander Embiricos [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3BlbkFJIEdhdmUgVXMgYSBHbGltcHNlIEludG8gVGhlaXIgQUkgQ29kaW5nIFBsYXlib29rIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzg3NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vZW1iaXJpY28iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=], who leads the Codex product team, joined us for Every’s first-ever Codex Camp to share this and other insights learned building Sora with Codex and how generally to think about working with AI. Here’s what we learned. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Onboard your AI like a new hire. Start with quick, interactive prompts. Build trust. Let it learn your preferences. Then delegate longer tasks. 2. Don’t overload context. If you’d overwhelm a coworker with 6,000 facts about your codebase, you’ll overwhelm the AI too. Give it what it needs for the task at hand. 3. Narrow beats broad. An agent with one focused job outperforms a generalist trying to catch everything. 4. It doesn’t get easier—you go faster. AI tools shift the bottleneck; they don’t eliminate it. Architecture and code review become more important, not less.
