In this video https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29tZXRpbWVzIFlvdSBIYXZlIHRvIERlbGV0ZSBFdmVyeXRoaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM1NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veW91dHUuYmUvcXRLa3pzUWpBeTAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzN9, Ryan shows Dan how that spoken brief becomes a sourced Notion task, a working pull request, and a review loop that catches bugs and maintainability problems before a person reviews the code. * Ryan talks through a model-picker migration. Notion AI explores the codebase and turns his explanation into a task with code pointers, requirements, constraints, and verification steps. * He hands that task to an agent, then runs a custom review swarm across the front end and back end. The agent opens a pull request, watches the tests, fixes failures, and returns with passing code while Ryan is in meetings. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29tZXRpbWVzIFlvdSBIYXZlIHRvIERlbGV0ZSBFdmVyeXRoaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM1NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veW91dHUuYmUvcXRLa3pzUWpBeTAiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzR9 HERE’S HOW YOU CAN GET STARTED: 1. Talk through the work before you write the brief. Explain the goal, relevant context, constraints, and what a finished result should look like. 2. Ask an agent to research the relevant sources and turn your explanation into a structured task with requirements and verification steps. 3. Review the plan, then hand the task to an agent that can work in the target environment. 4. Save recurring review standards as a reusable skill. Ryan built his review swarm by asking Codex to study existing skills and turn his preferences into a new one. Ready to try Ryan’s workflow?

Every Agent browses the web for you and onboards itself Every Agent, the AI coworker Every is building inside Slack, can now act on public websites for you: It logs in, fills out forms, and stops for your confirmation before it does anything one-way—like making a purchase. It also onboards itself now. Reply “yes” to it, and it reads your channels and identifies three tasks it could take off your plate—and any teammate can start that, not just whoever installed it. Every Agent is in private alpha while the team hardens connections before an external beta. Watch this space. ---------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT The expertise trap. How does arguably the most brilliant mathematician of this century use AI? Quite simply.

I half-expected beautiful, elaborate prompts I could steal for my own AI use. Instead, Tao asks short, precise questions, dense with mathematical jargon, and pushes the frontier AI model on reasoning that doesn’t make sense. It was like watching a 10-year-old genius being schooled by a much older, wiser genius. I quickly learned that I could copy every prompt Tao used and still never, not in a million years, reproduce what he did. This sort of mathematical sorcery can only happen when someone has deep knowledge of their craft, because Tao can do the one thing a non-expert cannot: Evaluate the response. Without that expertise, you don’t know whether the answer coming back to you is correct or confidently delivered gibberish. What irritates me is that I fell for the most charlatan-like advice about “learning AI” from LinkedIn AI influencers who screenshot the latest prompts promising “outputs like a McKinsey consultant” or “growth strategy from a world-class CMO”—as if expertise is just a few sentences you could press the enter key on. It’s so easy to get a seductive answer from AI that I’m afraid more and more of us will revert to cognitive offloading and skip the hardship and “stuckness” necessary to develop expertise. In Anthropic’s study https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29tZXRpbWVzIFlvdSBIYXZlIHRvIERlbGV0ZSBFdmVyeXRoaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM1NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmFudGhyb3BpYy5jb20vcmVzZWFyY2gvQUktYXNzaXN0YW5jZS1jb2Rpbmctc2tpbGxzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQyfQ== of 52 mostly junior developers learning a new Python library, the AI-assisted group scored 50 percent on a subsequent quiz, versus 67 percent for those coding by hand. The largest gap between the two groups was in debugging, the skill required to catch the model when it is wrong. It is a small study, and AI can help people learn. But I now think AI will make expertise more valuable and experts harder to produce. This has irrevocably changed how I use AI. Before reading its answer, I force myself to clarify what I already understand. Sometimes I ask, “What is a better question here, and why?” before seeking the answer. The machine is always ready to rescue me, but watching Tao, I realized expertise is knowing when it hasn’t.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29tZXRpbWVzIFlvdSBIYXZlIHRvIERlbGV0ZSBFdmVyeXRoaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM1NiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmdscDFkaWdlc3QuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0M30= ---------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

It argued with instructions, stopped before the work was done, and fought the systems we’d built for earlier Claude models. Then we deleted them. With less process, Opus 5 sometimes got dramatically better. It built strong software, worked through bugs for hours, and produced more rigorous knowledge work. The less we told it how to work, the more capable it looked.

We tested it across coding, writing, knowledge work, and agents, with results that made the model hard to place. Opus 5 doesn’t reach Fable’s ceiling, and it isn’t as easy to use day to day as GPT-5.6 Sol. Its best work may require rebuilding systems that already work.

Then we deleted those instructions. With less process, Opus 5 sometimes got dramatically better. It built strong software, worked through bugs for hours, and produced rigorous writing and knowledge work. Low and medium thinking effort also brought out more of its strengths in coding while reducing some of its annoying quirks. The reversal left us with a harder question than whether Opus 5 is good: Is the model disappointing, or are we judging it with systems built for its predecessors?

Yash spent a month manually running A/B tests—clicking through dashboards, calculating audience sizes—before deciding to hand the whole thing to Claude. “It’s a lot of fake work,” he says. So he automated it. He’s now doing the same for the entire testing workflow, which will free him to spend more time on what he enjoys: coming up with ideas and deciding what to test next. * It speeds up the process from idea to execution. Austin describes the ideal way to work with agents as “at the top and bottom of the AI sandwich https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEV2ZXJ5J3MgVGVhbSBVc2VkIEFJIHRvIFNoaXAgSXRzIEJpZ2dlc3QgTGF1bmNoIEV2ZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy95b3UtcmUtdGhlLWJyZWFkLWluLXRoZS1haS1zYW5kd2ljaCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=”: You frame the problem and review the output. Everything in between can be delegated to AI. For example, during the Builder Pack launch, Yash flagged in Slack that the team should email users who’d shown intent to purchase but hadn’t converted to a paid membership during the early-bird discount window. Austin took a screenshot of the thread, dropped it into Codex https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEV2ZXJ5J3MgVGVhbSBVc2VkIEFJIHRvIFNoaXAgSXRzIEJpZ2dlc3QgTGF1bmNoIEV2ZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvY29kZXgtZm9yLWtub3dsZWRnZS13b3JrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ== with a “Can you do this?,” and headed to the gym. When he came back, Codex had defined four audience segments and written the copy for emails to send to each one. Austin only needed a few minutes to tweak the headlines before sending. By the next morning, the emails had generated $25,000 in revenue. * Working with AI agents is like conducting an orchestra.

But using agents still requires strategic thinking upfront: “You have to put in a lot of work upfront, in terms of doing some metacognition and figuring out: How do I think about this? What is my process?” Once you’ve codified your process, he says, “These tools can run with it. You can ask them for help if you don’t know why something happened.” * How to get started. Brandon advises new builders to pick a product you already use and love and build a simpler version. Soon, you’ll identify features you don’t like and things you want to change. “Very quickly, it’s not duping,” he says. “It’s like inspiration, and you’re off making your own thing.” Austin recommends building something you’d be excited to text a friend about. For him, that was a movie app: the Fandango for indie movies. “I would encourage people to not necessarily make the most complex app for the sake of complexity, but to make something you don’t think you can, because you’re going to learn so much through that process.” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEV2ZXJ5J3MgVGVhbSBVc2VkIEFJIHRvIFNoaXAgSXRzIEJpZ2dlc3QgTGF1bmNoIEV2ZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9wb2dLbGhOQUVWOCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0= Miss an episode?

In the following video, three OpenAI staffers break down how they use Codex to make their jobs more efficient—and provide a playbook so you can do the same. * Romain Huet and Dominik Kundel, who work on developer experience for Codex, show how they brainstorm feature ideas and run deep research in ChatGPT, then have Codex use the whole thread as its brief to start building. * Kyle Kober, who works in product finance, demonstrates how he used Codex to build a system for reconciling OpenAI’s monthly compute costs, a process that used to take five days. Kyle’s Codex system completes most of it in about five hours, after which the finance team reviews the results and finishes the remaining work. HERE’S HOW YOU CAN GET STARTED: 1. Select a task you do every week or month. 2. Give Codex access to the files you normally use, an example of a finished result, the steps and rules you follow to achieve that result, and any checklists you use to catch mistakes. 3. Supervise the first run. 4. When Codex can handle part of the process reliably, save those instructions as a reusable skill so it can follow the same procedure next time.

After reviewing its slowest sessions, he compiled roughly 20 changes that could improve its efficiency. Marcus handed the full list to Fable, asked it to work through the changes as one coordinated run, and went to sleep. Nine hours later, the model had combined overlapping tasks, dropped ones it judged unnecessary, investigated problems without obvious solutions, opened 10 pull requests, and tested their impact. “The PRs themselves were basically ready to go and merge,” Marcus says. (Great!) The less-great part: Fable had spent roughly 20 millions of tokens to change about 5,000 lines of code. Those tokens covered more than writing code. Fable also read context, coordinated agents, conducted research, and checked their work—tasks cheaper models could have handled. For his next large run, Marcus added an instruction shared by independent developer https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEV2ZXJ5J3MgVGVhbSBVc2VkIEFJIHRvIFNoaXAgSXRzIEJpZ2dlc3QgTGF1bmNoIEV2ZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zaW1vbndpbGxpc29uLm5ldC8yMDI2L0p1bC8zL2p1ZGdlbWVudC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzl9Simon Willison https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEV2ZXJ5J3MgVGVhbSBVc2VkIEFJIHRvIFNoaXAgSXRzIEJpZ2dlc3QgTGF1bmNoIEV2ZXIiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zaW1vbndpbGxpc29uLm5ldC8yMDI2L0p1bC8zL2p1ZGdlbWVudC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDB9, who credits developer Jesse Vincent with the tip: > For all coding tasks use your judgment to decide an appropriate lower-power model and run that in a subagent The prompt leaves Fable in charge of planning, delegation, and review while letting it assign implementation to cheaper models.

We’re kicking off a series on “unlearning” in partnership with Maven, the expert-led course platform. Over the next three weeks, you’ll hear three different takes from Maven instructors on what we need to let go of as AI changes how we work. First up is Hilary Gridley, who previously led product at Whoop. She explains why faster prototypes don’t make product decisions easier—and how teams can decide which ideas are worth building.—Kate Lee https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRHJvd25pbmcgaW4gRGVtb3M_IEhlcmXigJlzIGEgQmV0dGVyIFdheSB0byBQcm90b3R5cGUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0ZV8xNzY3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjR9 ---------------------------------------- When AI tools started getting good, my team went on a prototyping binge. I was leading the product team at Whoop, where every product manager had a backlog of ideas they’d been dying to explore but hadn’t gotten past a whiteboarding session or a passionately worded document. Then tools like Bolt https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRHJvd25pbmcgaW4gRGVtb3M_IEhlcmXigJlzIGEgQmV0dGVyIFdheSB0byBQcm90b3R5cGUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ib2x0Lm5ldy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NX0= and Replit https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRHJvd25pbmcgaW4gRGVtb3M_IEhlcmXigJlzIGEgQmV0dGVyIFdheSB0byBQcm90b3R5cGUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9yZXBsaXQuY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2fQ== came along, and suddenly, we could spin up prototypes of our ideas in an afternoon. It felt like getting keys to the castle. Ideas that had been trapped in documents were finally showing up on screens. Except... were they any good? We felt productive, unhindered, moving faster than ever. But people were making prototypes left and right, with no process for what happened next. Occasionally one would generate enough excitement that a team put aside their previous plans and built it. Mostly, though, there was no consistent way to decide which prototypes were good, which ones should die, and what we were supposed to learn from them. We were building faster, but we weren’t deciding better. CHEAP PROTOTYPES CHANGE THE EQUATION Prototyping has always played a well-defined role in product development: to prove or disprove your best ideas. You’d go deep on a problem, decide where to focus your efforts, look for evidence that customers wanted a solution, then decide whether to pursue it. Only then would you prototype—and by that point you were already pretty confident, so the prototype confirmed your hunch (or didn’t). This made sense when building was expensive. If a prototype cost a week of engineering time, you could only afford to prototype ideas you were already fairly confident about. The expense forced discipline. The cartoonist Matthew Diffee describes his creative process https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRHJvd25pbmcgaW4gRGVtb3M_IEhlcmXigJlzIGEgQmV0dGVyIFdheSB0byBQcm90b3R5cGUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZm9yYmVzLmNvbS9zaXRlcy9qZWZmYmVyY292aWNpLzIwMTIvMDMvMTcvaHVtYW4tZGVtby1uZXcteW9ya2VyLWNhcnRvb25pc3QtbWF0dGhldy1kaWZmZWUtc2hvd3MtaG93LXRvLWJlLWNyZWF0aXZlLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ== as laying 100 eggs in the sand and swimming off, like a sea turtle. Most won’t hatch, which is the point. Sketching is cheap, so he can draw it, send it to the New Yorker, and move on to his next idea. AI has made prototyping similarly cheap for product teams. When the cost of building collapsed, two things happened at once: Prototyping became accessible to anyone with an idea and a laptop, and the original reason to prototype—de-risking an expensive build—stopped making sense. But nobody stopped to ask what prototyping was for now. So prototypes drifted into something else entirely. Without a clear framework for what they were supposed to help decide, they became pitches. Product managers built things to show what was possible and get colleagues excited. Engineers, meanwhile, built whatever seemed cool on hack days. We had more prototypes than ever, but no better way to decide which ones were any good—and it got noisy. Every prototype still demanded someone’s attention. Going from five prototypes to 30 risks diluting focus across six times as many ideas, without making it any easier to choose. So if building is no longer the bottleneck, the prototype has to move earlier. It’s no longer there to answer, “Is this the right solution?” but, “Is this even the right problem?” That’s a harder question, and you can only answer it by putting prototypes in front of users and watching what the data says. Whoop had to work through it all: which problems were worth solving, how to test ideas against users instead of internal stakeholders, and what a product manager was even for once building got cheap. None of it was resolved quickly. HOW WHOOP’S AI PRODUCT TEAM PROTOTYPES TODAY After I left Whoop, the team kept pushing on the problem. I recently caught up with Anjali Ahuja, who now leads the AI product team, to understand what had changed. With AI, she told me, anyone could spin up a prototype in a day—and suddenly everyone was. But this was the hack-day trap all over again: plenty of demos, no understanding of what worked. Anjali’s team began asking a different question of each prototype: What could we learn by putting this in front of members? The product team had tried to work this way before and kept hitting the same walls; they needed a roadmap to market or had to coordinate with other teams building in overlapping spaces—or they didn’t want experiments to make the existing product feel unfinished. What finally worked was a process for deciding where to explore, what to measure, and who should see unfinished ideas. First, they defined what success looked like before anyone started building. The team spent six weeks with a cross-functional working group—product, engineering, design, analytics, and data science—to define what AI should accomplish for users. Instead of starting with feature ideas like “build a sleep coach” or “add an AI chat feature,” they focused on outcomes: Could AI help members capture more context about their lives? Could it help them understand their data in a more actionable way? Once those pillars were clear, hack days got lanes. Engineers and product managers could still explore freely within any one of those pillars, but their prototypes had to test whether AI could move that outcome. The final piece was the beta group. Instead of demoing prototypes to stakeholders and collecting opinions, Whoop put rough versions in front of 12,000 members who opted in to test them, then watched what happened. Did a strength training prototype get people to log more workouts? Did it help them train more consistently? Did it make the product more useful? A prototype that gets demonstrated to stakeholders generates opinions. One that gets used by external people generates data. Whoop’s beta group let the team see what willing testers did with rough prototypes without exposing every member to half-finished ideas. It let the team operate more like a growth team—testing more ideas than would have been possible before—while still giving leadership and cross-functional teams visibility into what was coming. The point was to learn faster, so that Whoop shipped only what improved members’ health outcomes. LANES, NOT GUARDRAILS This approach changes the product manager’s job in a way I don’t think most product leaders have fully reckoned with. When the technical frontier moves weekly https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRHJvd25pbmcgaW4gRGVtb3M_IEhlcmXigJlzIGEgQmV0dGVyIFdheSB0byBQcm90b3R5cGUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by90aGVzaXMvaG93LXRvLWJ1aWxkLWEtdHJ1bHktdXNlZnVsLWFpLXByb2R1Y3QiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0=, product managers can’t keep up. The traditional flow—the product manager defines the problem, writes the specification, and hands it to engineering to implement—assumed that the product manager could know enough up front to tell the team what to build. That model collapses when the only way to understand the technology is to experiment with it. “I don’t feel like I can go to engineers with a set of requirements anymore,” Anjali told me, “because I don’t even know what’s possible to be solved.” Previously, product managers were often forced to commit early because exploration was expensive. Now that exploration is cheap, the product manager’s job is less about having the answer and more about creating the conditions for the team to find the answer together. This requires a different skill from writing a good product spec. You have to be able to see through an exciting prototype and ask: What assumption does this test? What would we learn by putting it in front of users? If we shipped it tomorrow, how would we know it worked? A lot of prototypes can’t answer those questions. They’re solutions in search of a problem—built because they could be, with no hypothesis about what would happen. The hardest part of her job, Anjali told me, is creating an environment where engineers feel empowered to explore—hack days, blank canvases, creative freedom—while also making sure that exploration is pointed at something: “Here are the five things we believe matter for our members. Go figure out if AI can help with any of them.” Those are lanes, not guardrails. STOP DROWNING IN DEMOS I think what tripped us up at Whoop early on—and what I see tripping up most teams in my work teaching managers and product leaders how to use AI—is confusing building with learning. Seeing something take shape on the screen is energizing, and it feels like you’re making progress. But artifacts aren’t decisions. The questions I now ask about any prototype are: What decision will this help us make, and what’s the fastest way to get the data needed to decide? When building was expensive, the expense itself forced you to build with a clear purpose. Now that building is cheap, the discipline has to come from knowing which problems matter most, agreeing upon what success looks like, and listening to the people using the prototypes—the fundamentals that have always mattered. As a product leader, your job is to help build the culture where your team practices this discipline. AI has made it possible to pursue more ideas than ever before without committing to them up front. The challenge is to do it in a way that doesn’t cause chaos internally or for your users. The teams that figure this out first will build fewer products and ship better ones. The rest will drown in demos. ---------------------------------------- Hilary Gridley is a product leader and writer behind the newsletter Writerbuilder https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRHJvd25pbmcgaW4gRGVtb3M_IEhlcmXigJlzIGEgQmV0dGVyIFdheSB0byBQcm90b3R5cGUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9oaWxzLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=.

At least, that’s what I told myself. Dan was sharing an early version of Tend https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3RlbmQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0=, the Codex-native system he created to pull email, Slack, meeting notes, and company updates into one place and help you act on them. The moment the call ended, I gave the transcript to Codex and had it build my own version of the tool, which, lacking Dan’s flair for naming things, it called Attention Desk. I could picture the person who would use it: me, but better. I would spend most of the day in deep work, surface a few times to see who and what needed me, and disappear again—responsive, efficient, and 10 times more productive than I’d been before. As of this writing, Attention Desk sits abandoned in my pinned chats, the little blue dot beside its name the only reminder of how sure I was that it would transform my work. This seems to be a pattern in the way I use AI: I see an impressive demo or have one surprisingly good session with a model and decide to reorganize my work around it. Then the novelty wears off. The next thing I know, weeks have gone by and I haven’t touched the workflow I was sure would change everything. There’s a veritable Island of Misfit Workflows adrift on my desktop, from app ideas that collapsed under the weight of their own maintenance to AI skills I built and promptly abandoned. And yet writing with my compound writing plugin https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvd3JpdGluZy13aXRoLWFpLWlzLWhhcmRlci10aGFuLXlvdS10aGluayIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo5fQ== or navigating my workday with help from Codex already feels like I’ve been working this way for years. I wanted to understand why some AI workflows become essential while others have the staying power of a celebrity romance. So I did a post-mortem on the chief offenders and looked at relevant behavioral science research. It turns out the difference comes down to what a workflow asks of my time, energy, and sanity—and what it offers in return. AN ABANDONED WORKFLOW IS NOT A CHARACTER TEST Once I noticed that little blue dot next to Attention Desk and the fact that I wasn’t responding to it, I let it sit like a check-engine light I’d decided to live with. Over time, the notification started to feel like an indictment of my character. My first reaction was to label it a me problem. I simply lacked the stick-to-itiveness or sophistication to get these systems to work. Somewhere out there, other, better people were adopting these workflows and living their 10-times-more-productive lives while the permanent underclass had a space with my name on it. Maybe that’s just my own unique brand of catastrophizing, but I suspect this feeling of wanting to build all the workflows—particularly the workflows of people we perceive as successful—is common. Model capabilities and the best practices for working with them are changing so fast that it’s understandable to want to follow the lead of people who are winning at AI. When you try what works for them and don’t get their results, it’s tempting to assume you’re doomed to failure. At least, that’s what happens if you’re me. Rationally, I know that “either I can make this workflow work or I’m a failure” is classic black-and-white thinking. A workflow may go unused for a boatload of reasons: The problem is too infrequent, the trigger doesn’t go off, or the output creates more work than it saves. A tool can fail because my habits don’t support it; my habits can also be rational responses to the work I actually do. I BUILT ATTENTION DESK FOR A WORKDAY I DON’T HAVE I wanted what Tend offered: to sink into deep work without wondering what was happening in Slack, then surface to find nothing had caught fire. But Dan is a busy CEO pulled in enough directions that Tend’s ability to gather his communication gives him time and mental space back. I get an average of six to eight inbound Slack messages a day, which I can manage myself without much stress. For me, Tend proved to be a solution to a problem I simply didn’t have. With my Tend dupe, I was also building a workflow that would compete with my own deeply ingrained behavior. I have an anxious attachment style when it comes to work, and checking Slack is my favorite sanctioned procrastination activity. I reliably check Slack 40 to 50 times per day—and every time, I feel relief from the discomfort of writing, or the motivating hit of a fresh news drop. Attention Desk’s attempt to deliver peace of mind couldn’t compete with those rewards. Behavioral psychology lore https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5zY2llbnRpZmljYW1lcmljYW4uY29tL2FydGljbGUvaG93LWxvbmctZG9lcy1pdC1yZWFsbHktdGFrZS10by1mb3JtLWEtaGFiaXQvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ== says I should have given Attention Desk 21 days to stick as a habit, but that data point turns out to be a myth. A 2024 literature review https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BtYy5uY2JpLm5sbS5uaWguZ292L2FydGljbGVzL1BNQzExNjQxNjIzLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0= found that the few relevant studies showed habit adoption medians around two months and ranges from four to 335 days. Three days may not have been long enough to create a habit, but it was plenty of time to discover I didn’t want to spend weeks or months forming this one. The research also has ideas about how I could force an AI workflow to stick. For instance, I could make an explicit plan: If I am about to check Slack, then I will open Attention Desk. A 2024 meta-analysis covering 642 tests found that clear plans https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RvaS5vcmcvMTAuMTA4MC8xMDQ2MzI4My4yMDI0LjIzMzQ1NjMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9 grounded in the specific context where the behavior happens can help, especially when motivation is already strong. There’s the catch: An if–then plan can help me act on a goal that feels important and compelling. It cannot make me need a CEO dashboard or want to stop using Slack as an emotional-support procrastination device. Attention Desk wasn’t defeated by my failure to perform the right behavior-design incantation. In hindsight I can see that I made a rational choice to abandon the tool; it was built for someone else’s problem and pitted against a behavior that solved my own. I KEPT BUILDING TOOLS FOR A PERSON I WASN’T Attention Desk has neighbors on the island, each built for a version of me that doesn’t exist. I set up a Codex automation to generate daily X and LinkedIn post recommendations based on my work. I pictured myself effortlessly hitting the three-times-a-week activity cadence I saw recommended for LinkedIn. Reader, I have never shared one of those posts. In the cold light of day, I realized I’m a spontaneous, shoot-from-the-hip kind of social media user. When I have something to say, I’ll say it. Suggested content gives me another queue to fall behind on, and I emphatically do not want that. For me, the annoyance outweighs the value of posting more. Becoming an X poster extraordinaire will have to wait. In the 1980s, psychologists Robert Wicklund and Peter Gollwitzer described a phenomenon uncomfortably close to my pattern of optimistically building tools for an aspirational version of myself: “symbolic self-completion.” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5zb2Ntb3QudW5pLWtvbnN0YW56LmRlL3B1YmxpY2F0aW9ucy9zeW1ib2xpYy1zZWxmLWNvbXBsZXRpb24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9 People who fall short of an identity they care about can reach for its symbols, including tools and skills. Their experiments did not test AI workflows, but still—building the machine that would make me a disciplined public thinker felt remarkably similar, for an afternoon, to being one. I doubt I’m alone in carrying around these more motivated selves. They’re aspirational, like a workout outfit you buy optimistically. One takeaway from my exploration of these failed projects could be to embrace the Katie I am, not the one I hope to be tomorrow. A WORKFLOW CAN BE WORTH BUILDING AND NOT WORTH KEEPING Longtime Working Overtime readers will remember Margot https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvYWktd2FzLXN1cHBvc2VkLXRvLWZyZWUtbXktdGltZS1pdC1jb25zdW1lZC1pdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=, the AI assistant I built to manage my other workflows. I set her up after seeing what people like Nat Friedman and Claire Vo were doing with OpenClaw on an Every camp on the topic https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2V2ZW50cy9vcGVuY2xhdy1jYW1wIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==. I imagined an AI companion fine-tuned to my needs could supercharge my day-to-day life. Life with Margot was great for the first several weeks. After the “it’s alive” moment and eager exploration of her Google Calendar navigation, she became more trouble than she was worth. For example, every time I tried to change the model powering Margot, she quit working altogether and I had to revive her. A month in, I realized I was spending more time maintaining Margot than I got back. I left Margot behind, but her legacy carries on. Architecting her memory taught me how important it is for agents to find the right context. That lesson fed into my current desktop setup https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3dvcmtpbmctb3ZlcnRpbWUvaS1hc2tlZC1hbi1haS10by1hdWRpdC1teS1vd24tY2FyZWVyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==, where tailored context helps Codex or Claude find what they need. Living as we do in the Wild West days of AI, we’re all being tasked with figuring out what is and is not worth the effort to set up and maintain. There’s value to tinkering with these temperamental, wonky workflows because it makes us savvier users of the models and apps we work with everyday. THE WORKFLOWS THAT STICK GIVE SOMETHING BACK QUICKLY As I was doing my post-mortem on my various failed AI habits, I considered the new behaviors that have stuck. Exhibit A: my compound writing plugin. It’s a toolbox of skills I built for writing, modeled after Cora https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvcmEuY29tcHV0ZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9 general manager Kieran Klaassen https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BraWVyYW5fMTM1NSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=’s compound engineering plugin. It follows the steps of the writing process to help me take an article from idea to polished draft. Compound writing had a few points against it, if we’re using my failures as precedent. I borrowed it from someone else, like Tend. It’s effort-intensive, like Margot. And it also has to compete with my established Slack-checking habit—as I’ve said I will do anything to avoid working on a draft. And yet, compound writing has become the core of how I do my job. The difference is that compound writing quickly started sending signals back that my effort would be worth it. Even before it worked well, the plugin made writing feel propulsive again. It gave me a paragraph to push against, a question that unstuck an argument, or a way into the next stage of a draft. It gave me a writing partner that solved a real problem in my work—the loneliness inherent to writing for a living. In a series of studies, behavior researchers Kaitlin Woolley and Ayelet Fishbach found that immediate rewards https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFNvbWUgQUkgV29ya2Zsb3dzIFN0aWNr4oCUQW5kIE90aGVycyBEb27igJl0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDM0OCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicHJvbW8iLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3B1Ym1lZC5uY2JpLm5sbS5uaWguZ292LzI3ODk5NDY3LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOX0= predicted persistence better than delayed rewards. The research is not proof that a behavior will become automatic, but it helps explain why I kept at it. Compound writing paid me in currency that mattered to me immediately. The distant promise of becoming a calmer Slack-checker could not compete. SOLVING AI WITH MORE AI (AGAIN) Looking across my AI workflows—the ones that failed and the ones that stuck—I can see why each ended up where it did. Attention Desk solved a problem I mostly imagined for a person I hoped to become. Compound writing met me inside work I already did and began paying me back almost immediately. I could judge a workflow by what happened once it made contact with my day-to-day work—whether I resented maintaining it, carried away something useful from its failure, or kept returning to it. But the worry that I’m missing out on something hasn’t gone away. I wanted a way to know for sure if an experimental system would never work, or if it could be useful with a tweak to its design or implementation. So, naturally, I added a new AI system to audit my AI systems. This time, a reviewer called Agent Ops. Agent Ops is a plugin inside my Codex that inventories the systems I built or adopted and asks me questions about the goal, usage, and the outcome of each one before making a recommendation to either keep, tweak, or retire it. In setting up the plugin, I discovered that my failed workflows fall into four buckets: I forgot it existed, it failed to run, the output required too much maintenance, or it didn’t solve a recurring problem. I turned those answers into provisional rules. A new automation has to run manually three times before I schedule it. Its output has to produce something I use with less than five minutes of review.

Some of that AI use is valuable; some isn’t. The only way to tell the difference and spend efficiently is to measure—but measure what? Getting AI tools into your team’s hands was part one of AI adoption. Today, companies must identify business-specific, measurable goals. That part, too, requires both a definition of “good” and the data to measure how close you’re getting to it. Meanwhile, frontier labs are under pressure to improve at economically valuable domains such as finance, life sciences, and general reasoning. They’re paying for data that helps them get there. Well-defined goals now create value for your company in two ways: return on investment for you and your customers and data that can help others improve, too.

(Image courtesy of gamelab.com.) That’s because these models are shaped by what they’ve seen: lots of math, and almost no Gin Rummy. Popular AI models may not have experience with whatever you work on all day either. But defining the goal revealed options for Arkadium beyond a large language model—different forms of AI work well for different goals. Instead of an LLM, we trained an expert model with 4.6 million parameters in an 18-megabyte file that runs on a regular CPU. At full strength, it beats human players about 90 percent of the time, and the economics are as lopsided in its favor: At 1 million requests a day, our expert model would cost about $60 a year; a frontier LLM would run into the multi-millions. For Arkadium, that “good game” goal paid twice: a better experience for its players and a new revenue line in the form of selling anonymous data to labs for millions. Frontier models performed poorly at games; Arkadium’s well-structured gameplay data from “good” games with “good” human players was what the labs needed to improve. As Arkadium continues to sell that anonymized data to frontier labs, its models will learn from it and apply that intelligence.

One problem with so many companies hurtling into AI drug discovery is that finding better candidates faster and more cheaply is only one small part of bringing a drug to market. The chart below https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIElzIHRoZSBFYXN5IFBhcnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9hbnRob255c3Rhai9zdGF0dXMvMjA3NzM5MDk5MTY0MDY2NjMxNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2NX0= is one of the clearest visualizations I’ve seen of this imbalance. Discovery-to-lead—the dark-blue sliver on the left—covers identifying promising targets and optimizing them into drugs worth advancing. Everything after it—confirming the lab tests and cells used to evaluate a candidate are accurate and reliable (assay and cell line validation), then manufacturing, animal toxicology, and three phases of human trials—occupies nearly 99 percent of the remaining bar. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIElzIHRoZSBFYXN5IFBhcnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9hbnRob255c3Rhai9zdGF0dXMvMjA3NzM5MDk5MTY0MDY2NjMxNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2Nn0=AI drug discovery companies will commoditize. (Source: X/@anthonystaj.) That disparity suggests two things. First, if AI models commoditize, many standalone AI-discovery companies may be worth little more than a ChatGPT enterprise subscription and the pitch deck they neatly wrapped around it. A full-stack biotech company can use its own AI models to prioritize compounds and conduct the full array of testing in its own laboratory. AI becomes a tool inside the business rather than the business itself. Second, computational abundance makes skilled practitioners more valuable. While it’s easy for a model to propose a molecule, it takes medicinal chemists and toxicologists to decide whether the evidence is strong enough—and the risks tolerable enough—to justify putting it into a living person. The judgment and, in many ways, the taste, to know which drug is worth backing is much harder to replicate and scale, and is why expertise and conviction remain a huge bottleneck in drug development. There will be exceptions, of course. An AI company can capture the upside if it owns the lab work and the drugs, but only by accepting the cost and risk of failure that every other biotechnology company bears when bringing a drug to market. At that point, it becomes a pharmacology company. The future may look less like software eating pharma than pharma eating software.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vZGVsIElzIHRoZSBFYXN5IFBhcnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ3LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9Bc2h3aW5yZWFkcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2N30= ---------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

TL;DR: We’re announcing gift links, which let paid and All Access Every members share paywalled articles with anyone. Using Codex and the latest frontier models, senior editor Jack Cheng took on the project himself. The process showed us that people across Every can now build and test ideas without taking engineers away from more important work. Was this newsletter forwarded to you?

Standard paid members can share five gift links each month, with the count resetting on the first of the month. All Access members can, starting today, share unlimited gift links. Gift links by themselves aren’t novel. You’ve likely interacted with them in articles in the online editions of the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, or the New York Times. But those publications also have product teams larger than our entire company of 30 people. Many of us at Every are veterans of organizations structured to dampen risk and dodge uncertainty, often at the cost of experimentation. We’re learning to explore new workflows https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9pbnNpZGUtdGhlLWFpLXdvcmtmbG93cy1vZi1ldmVyeS1zLXNpeC1lbmdpbmVlcnMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0=, cede control to AI agents when it makes sense https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvdGhlLWVpZ2h0LWxldmVscy1vZi1haS1hZG9wdGlvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo5fQ==, and embrace the fact that good ideas can come from anyone https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy9jb2RleC1mb3ItZXZlcnl0aGluZy1hbmQtZXZlcnlvbmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9—and now be built by anyone. The path our small editorial team charted to ship the new gift links feature is a case study in how AI tools can turn a heavy organizational lift into a feasible experiment, and how an AI-native company decides what to build. Here’s how we did it. SCRATCHING MY OWN ITCH As a senior editor at Every, I’ve edited dozens of pieces by our team and outside contributors, as well as written my own essays on creativity https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3doYXQtYmVjb21lcy12YWx1YWJsZS13aGVuLWFpLW1ha2VzLWNyZWF0aXZlLXdvcmstZWFzeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0=, taste https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3doYXQtaXMtdGFzdGUtcmVhbGx5IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEyfQ==, and maintenance https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL2ktaGlyZWQtYW4tYWktdG8tZG8tbXktY2hvcmVzLW5vdy1pLW1haW50YWluLXRoZS1haSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=.

When I share articles from other paid publications, though, I usually use gift links.

As much as I wanted gift links for myself, I saw a business case for them. Were we limiting Every’s reach and potential for virality by not giving people a way to share paywalled content? To find out, I started digging. I first searched Every’s Slack and Discord channels to see if anyone had raised the idea before. Maybe we’d even tried gift links in the past, or the feature had been proposed and declined for reasons I hadn’t considered. My search turned up a message from Kate Lee https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0ZV8xNzY3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ==, Every’s editor in chief, also wondering about gift links. Each article in our system had a preview link that bypassed the paywall, but the feature was more meant for sharing drafts internally. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkX2FmMDIxMWJmLThmZTctNGEzYS1iYzU4LTllNmU5NzFmOTE5MS5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9Our CMS has a secret ‘preview’ link bypassing the paywall, but it wasn’t built for public use. (Discord screenshot courtesy of Jack Cheng.) Kate and I have a weekly check-in, so I brought up the idea then. She said that whenever she shares articles with the rest of the team in Slack, she uses gift links too. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkXzc5Yzc4ODhkLWY0MzEtNDhjMi1hMjNhLWQyZjUwMzlkODk1OC5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9The Granola transcript of our meeting from Kate’s perspective.

(Remaining screenshots courtesy of Jack Cheng.) Austin’s response was unenthusiastic. As he said candidly in our video about building gift links https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj11XzNxNXJNa0FkcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=, “interesting” was his way of telling me, “Don’t waste my time with this.” But it also wasn’t a no. At most other companies—even at the company Every was one year ago—I might’ve left it there. The additional time and effort needed to sell the idea to Austin and other stakeholders, and convince the rest of the organization that it was worth diverting our website’s engineering lead Andrey Galko from more pressing engineering projects—all while pulling focus from my own duties editing, writing, and building much-needed tools to improve our editorial workflow—wouldn’t have merited the reward. Pursuing my gift links idea would have been the path of most resistance. Luckily, it’s not one year ago.

I then worked with my agent to draft a separate report to share with Kate and Austin—then Andrey, if we decided to build the feature. This report had to be much more comprehensive; it should present the business case and sketch out a plan for implementation, including what changes we’d need to make on the existing site’s backend and how we would measure success. I determined those backend changes by pointing Codex at our existing codebase. My goal was to have a document that everyone could look at and say, “Let’s try it.” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkXzRhY2Y1ZDMwLTJkOTktNDllNi05MDQxLWQyNTJjNTIxNTJkYS5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkXzVmNGY3ODMyLTYwYjYtNDBmZi05ODlkLWVlY2VkNDVkYmIwOS5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9Austin’s response to the implementation plan in Slack. Austin’s response: Based on the report, gift links didn’t seem like a growth priority. But also: If you want to do it yourself with Codex, go ahead. “I had to have this moment of, ‘You know what? It’s really for the best [to] just go for it,’” Austin said later in our conversation https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj11XzNxNXJNa0FkcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMn0=. “Rather than how I’ve worked before, where you’re really protective of your resources. [...] It’s so much better to just see this stuff play out with the user journeys and the data.” It was clear to everyone, Andrey included, that this was the kind of clearly scoped product change that I could feasibly do without much involvement from him. I had the green light I wanted. The next part was on me. GOING FOR IT Building out the gift links feature was more typical of traditional software development—only with agents doing most of the work. I had Codex research the common user interaction patterns for gift links among some of the news sites we referenced. I added screenshots of flows I thought worked well to the report and shared it with Andrey to get his feedback on the architecture; he told me to confirm how we were handling article preview in the codebase. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkX2RiN2ViZjM2LTdhYzktNGI1NC1hYzA5LTJjMWM3MDI5OWMzNS5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzN9Andrey’s response to the implementation report, and my follow-up message about when I would need him to review the work. With the report and Andrey’s feedback as inputs, Codex put together a plan. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkX2RkYzM3ZDg5LWIzYTYtNGQxMy04MTMwLTUyODlhZjYyYTY1ZC5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzR9Codex screenshot recreated by GPT-5.6 from original transcripts. Over the next half hour, Codex conducted a comprehensive interview to clarify my vision. We refined the plan in stages, and once I was satisfied, I told the agent to carry out the plan. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIEJ1aWx0IEdpZnQgTGlua3MiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzNDYvb3B0aW1pemVkXzI3ZDU5YjlmLTkwZWUtNDQzMy04ZmQ1LWY5YzQ2OGExZDE5MC5qcGciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzV9Refining the plan in Codex through a series of interview questions. Codex screenshot recreated by GPT-5.6 from original transcripts. The build took a few hours spread across a couple of afternoons—the latter half mostly me going back and forth with Codex on copy and UI interactions using the in-app browser. I submitted a draft pull request, and Andrey had his Codex review it. We set up a tracking page for analytics in PostHog and deployed the feature on our staging server for Kate’s and Austin’s feedback. We tested the feature internally first, then soft-launched it on the site last month. In the grand scheme, gift links weren’t a particularly large change to our site or a major differentiator among our competitors. But our experience building them is a good look into how, if an organization is set up to support what AI tools make possible, non-technical teams can dream up, validate, build, and launch an idea—all without diverting resources from higher-stakes work. We’re watching to see how much of a difference gift links make on Every’s subscription business. Austin had his Slack agent add the report from the PostHog dashboard to the growth team’s Monday briefing. Regardless of the results, I know at least a few people, myself included, who are excited to share those links. All Access and paid Every members can try out the new feature by clicking the “Share full article” button under article titles.

If a model can reason through something on its own—and Fable 5 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zZWFyY2g_cXVlcnk9ZmFibGUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0= or GPT-5.6 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jaGFpbi1vZi10aG91Z2h0L2hvdy1ncHQtNS02LWNoYW5nZXMta25vd2xlZGdlLXdvcmsiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9 likely can—adding extra instructions creates confusion, not clarity. “You’re fighting the weights of the model by forcing it to do things your way instead of the way it was trained,” Mike says. Any time you conflict with the model’s training, it’s more likely to make mistakes. All the additional text loaded from your skill will also inflate costs, so you should make sure each skill you choose is worth it.

It reminded Mike of his work as a prompt engineer in 2023: “With GPT-3 we had to use all these hacks and magic words to get it to produce valid code. Then when GPT-4 came out, it followed instructions better, and our bag of tricks was no longer necessary.” WHY IT MATTERS: The data backs him up. SWE-Skills-Bench https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hcnhpdi5vcmcvYWJzLzI2MDMuMTU0MDEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9, a research benchmark that tests whether agent skills make agents better at software engineering, tested 49 public software-engineering skills and found that 39 didn’t impact performance, while three made things worse. At the same time, a large percentage of skills caused the model to consume more compute without improving results. (The worst offender increased token use by 451 percent.) Only seven skills improved outcomes, and according to the researchers, these successful skills all provided specialized guidance the model couldn’t otherwise supply, like financial-risk formulas or traffic-management instructions. WHAT IT MEANS: Skill utility has a shelf life. Instructions that patch a model’s blind spot can become redundant—or actively counterproductive—the moment a new version of the model absorbs that capability. The skills built to last are the ones that give the model information it couldn’t have known about your business or the way you work because it’s not public information: personal preferences about your writing style, a specific company template, internal company data, or an exact sequence of steps. When you do use skills made by other people, make sure they’re regularly updated and pruned by their author. TRY IT THIS WEEK: PERFORM A SKILLS AUDIT. * Keep skills that provide private context, custom tool access, personal taste, or a specific company workflow—things that people outside your company wouldn’t know. * Retest skills that compensate for a general weakness or quirk of a current model—these likely have a shelf life as the models improve. * Retire skills that don’t demonstrably improve results. You can ask your favorite AI agent to run your prompt with a skill and without, then compare the results. ---------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW EVALUATE YOUR SKILLS TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE GETTING THE RESULTS YOU WANT “Writing lots of skills isn’t just productivity theater—you could be harming performance,” Mike says. “If you’re going to create a skill, prove that it works.” Here’s his approach for doing just that: ---------------------------------------- Become a paid subscriber to Every https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zdWJzY3JpYmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9 to unlock this piece and learn about: * Mike’s 4-step framework for keeping AI evals from becoming productivity theater * The overnight run that shipped a four-app feature while Naveen Naidu slept * Why Austin Tedesco ditched skills entirely and what he uses instead Subscribe https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zdWJzY3JpYmU_c291cmNlPXBvc3RfYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ== https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wcm9kdWN0cz91dG1fc291cmNlPWVtYWlsXHUwMDI2dXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb3N0X3BheXdhbGxcdTAwMjZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249cGF5d2FsbF9oZWFkZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9 Start free trial https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIENhc2UgQWdhaW5zdCBTa2lsbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzQ0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zdWJzY3JpYmU_aGFzaD0lcmVjaXBpZW50Lmhhc2glXHUwMDI2cHVibGljYXRpb249Y29udGV4dC13aW5kb3dcdTAwMjZzb3VyY2U9ZW1haWxfcG9zdF9wYXl3YWxsIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ== WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A SUBSCRIPTION?

Giving the model access to all relevant context, she instructed it to ask clarifying questions about anything that was missing, and then get to work. Fable audited Slack channels and read the Notion https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL2hvdy13ZS1ydW4tYS0yNS1wZXJzb24tY29tcGFueS1vbi1mb3VyLWFpLWFnZW50cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0= documents and meeting transcripts. It visited the launch’s staged websites, clicked through buttons to confirm they worked, and flagged places where a page contradicted information from a meeting or source document. Then it turned the findings into a prioritized action plan and drafted support material: three user-facing help articles, a half dozen snippets written for Fin—formerly Intercom, a customer support platform—and 17 templates human support agents could use to respond to users. The whole process took about 90 minutes—mostly in the background—freeing up Jalaiyah to focus on other things. After reviewing and “humanizing” the language, Jalaiyah handed everything to head of operations Arielle Shipper, who fired up Codex https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L2NvZGV4LWluLXByYWN0aWNlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ== to proofread the documents and create a Notion tracker so they could all see who owned what and stay on track. The customer-support plan came together smoothly with time to spare. Knowing when and how to use different models allows the team to regularly meet seemingly impossible deadlines. ---------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW TURN A BAD SUPPORT CHAT INTO BETTER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS When Fin’s customer support agent handles a customer conversation incorrectly, CS manager Waqqas Mir doesn’t rewrite its entire support setup. Instead, he uses Codex to turn the mishandled chat into a targeted new instruction. Using this method, he’s added a rule specifying when the agent should escalate an angry customer to a human and an explicit instruction to patch a bug in which Fin would generate code for a user if they asked—a guardrail Waqqas put in after he got Fin to write him a file-conversion script during a test. Waqqas’s workflow: 1. Connect Codex to Fin through the platform’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Once authorized, the MCP lets Codex retrieve conversations from your Fin workspace. In a Codex prompt, enter the identification numbers for two or three chats where Fin made the wrong call and ask Codex to pull the full conversations and diagnose what went wrong. 2. Ask Codex where the instructions broke down. Follow up by asking, “Why did it not follow my instructions? Can you identify what is causing the confusion?” Codex will identify missing, unclear, or contradictory guidance, and propose concise additions to fix the issue. 3. Add the proposed rule and retest the scenario. The MCP connection allows Codex to analyze Fin data, but Codex cannot directly change Fin’s setup. Waqqas adds the new guidance himself, then runs the same type of conversation again. If Fin repeats the mistake, he gives Codex that conversation’s chat ID and asks it to pinpoint which instruction is still causing the issue. ---------------------------------------- ‘AI & I’: GRANOLA LOOKS BEYOND MEETING NOTES https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXV6WUxZbGFHQVpBIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ== On this week’s AI & I https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L2ludHJvZHVjaW5nLWFpLWkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9, Granola cofounder and CEO Chris Pedregal https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BjaHJpc184ODczIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ== says running a startup is “a knife fight” that never ends. The company built its name—and achieved a $1.5 billion valuation https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RlY2hjcnVuY2guY29tLzIwMjYvMDMvMjUvZ3Jhbm9sYS1yYWlzZXMtMTI1bS1oaXRzLTEtNWItdmFsdWF0aW9uLWFzLWl0LWV4cGFuZHMtZnJvbS1tZWV0aW5nLW5vdGV0YWtlci10by1lbnRlcnByaXNlLWFpLWFwcC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9—on making a killer AI notetaker, but it can’t coast: Notion, OpenAI, and Zoom now offer tools that transcribe and summarize meetings, too. Chris tells Every CEO Dan Shipper https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BkYW5zaGlwcGVyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ== that the larger battle is over “what interface we use for work and what work looks like in an AI-native world.” That’s why Granola plans to own the work around meetings: preparing people beforehand, helping them act afterward, and making meeting context available to whatever agent they use. Over the next few months, Granola plans to improve its API and MCP so it can be a leader in this space. “There’s an incredible opportunity ahead, and we have a shot at it, along with a few other companies,” Pedregal says. He’s bullish on the company’s direction and strategy but knows it’s still early days—the knife fight will never be over. “When people say, ‘Granola’s doing really well,’ in my mind it’s easy come, easy go,” he says. “Meeting notes are useful, but a lot is going to change, and just because people use us today doesn’t mean they’ll use us for that in the future if we’re not the best at the next thing.” Watch on X https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhbnNoaXBwZXIvc3RhdHVzLzIwNzc0MTAyNzk0NzQ3NzAyMjkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9 or YouTube https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3lvdXR1LmJlL3V6WUxZbGFHQVpBIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI0fQ==, or listen on Spotify https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL29wZW4uc3BvdGlmeS5jb20vZXBpc29kZS8wMko3cnAzSWd6NVpmMnFsbTIzY3pJP3NpPUFuTVJRdmtZUW9LalItZVZqbVh6M1EiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9 or Apple Podcasts https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BvZGNhc3RzLmFwcGxlLmNvbS91cy9wb2RjYXN0L3RoZS1mb3VuZGVyLW9mLWEtJTI0MS01Yi1haS1jb21wYW55LW9uLXdoYXQvaWQxNzE5Nzg5MjAxP2k9MTAwMDc3NjkyNTUwNiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=.

Two weeks into testing Sonnet 5 in his workflows, Marcus Moretti finds the sentiment largely holds—although he has found an area where Sonnet 5 justifies its existence. Sonnet generates most of the text in Spiral https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dyaXRld2l0aHNwaXJhbC5jb20vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==, Every’s writing app. Spiral billing is token based, and Sonnet 5 was announced to use around 30 percent more tokens for similar outputs than Sonnet 4.6 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1hbnRocm9waWMtanVzdC1tYWRlLW9wdXMtY2hlYXBlci13aXRob3V0LWNhbGxpbmctaXQtdGhhdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMH0=. That was a big reason not to drop it into Spiral. On another, internal product, swapping in Sonnet 5 produced more formatting errors and lower-quality responses. Not wanting to pay more for worse results, we reverted to Sonnet 4.6 after a few days of testing—and decided to keep Spiral running on 4.6 until the next release. That said, Sonnet 5 does appear to perform well at the specific task of analytics reporting. On several products, we run the compound engineering https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3VyZiB0aGUgTW9kZWxzIHdpdGggRXZlcnnigJlzIEJpeiBPcHMgVGVhbSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDMsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMX0= /ce-product-pulse command—essentially a product health report—on a daily loop.

Developer and YouTuber Theo Browne called the merge a “generational fumble.” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyZ2UgdG8gTWVyZ2UgKENoYXRHUFQgYW5kIENvZGV4KSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL3RoZW8vc3RhdHVzLzIwNzUzMTIwODc3MjM4NzY1NTYiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9 Redditors complained of duplicate apps, buried chats and projects, broken plugins, and unclear limits.

The merge is a bet that the features that made Codex so compelling for its fans, like file access, tool use, and the ability to carry out tasks across long time horizons and multiple turns, will reach more people inside a product they already know. OpenAI isn’t the only frontier lab experimenting with how it packages its products. After launching Cowork on Claude Code’s agentic architecture to win over more knowledge workers in January, Anthropic has now put Chat and Cowork in one “home” tab. Both moves aim to introduce chat interface users to the possibilities of AI agents. Underlying these changes is a shared bet that agentic work is where the technology is moving. Both labs want their flagship assistant to become the place where any knowledge-work task begins: Give the model files, tools, and a sustained assignment, then let it act. Whether OpenAI or Anthropic succeeds will depend on how well their general-purpose apps serve newcomers while preserving the control, context, and reliability power users expect. What to do this week: For Codex lovers, switch to ChatGPT Codex and carry on as usual. But if you’re agent-curious and haven’t made the leap to agent-driven interfaces, here’s how to get started in Codex: Give it one defined assignment using your files and a concrete deliverable. Require approval before Codex sends messages or changes anything outside the app. You can test agentic work without first learning how to use a coding agent. ---------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW PUT FANCY MODELS IN CHARGE OF AFFORDABLE ONES During our GPT-5.6 launch livestream https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyZ2UgdG8gTWVyZ2UgKENoYXRHUFQgYW5kIENvZGV4KSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2kvYnJvYWRjYXN0cy8xcUtWbW1sdlpYV3hCIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==, ChatPRD founder Claire Vo https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyZ2UgdG8gTWVyZ2UgKENoYXRHUFQgYW5kIENvZGV4KSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NsYWlyZXZvLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9 described her relationship with Fable 5 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIFVyZ2UgdG8gTWVyZ2UgKENoYXRHUFQgYW5kIENvZGV4KSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzNDEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svYW50aHJvcGljLW15dGhvcy1vdXItZmFibGUtdmliZS1jaGVjayIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=: “What Fable does is none of my business.” She can say that because she treats Anthropic’s most expensive model as a senior consultant instead of a daily driver.

Everyone is a builder now. There’s just one catch: Building with AI is very expensive. (Ask me how I know.) (Alright, I’ll tell you. I accidentally used 2 billion tokens overnight this week on a big GPT-5.6-Sol run. Worth it.) This is unique in the history of technology. For most of the personal computing era, a billionaire and a solo builder could buy essentially the same top-of-the-line Mac. AI changes that: The more tokens you can afford, the more you can make. And we want to make that accessible to more people.

Bring one thing you want to build or improve in the next few weeks. We’ll show you how we use the Builder Pack inside Every, then work through member questions and projects together. If you’re already an Every member, you can upgrade without losing what you’ve paid for. We’ll automatically apply the unused balance of your current plan at checkout. If you’re a free subscriber, All Access gives you the full Every membership along with the Builder Pack and the rest of the benefits.

Neither will reading another article about AI. But there is power in making a commitment to build something this year. All Access is for people making that commitment. We’ll give you the tools we rely on. We’ll share what we learn as we use them. We’ll bring members together to work through the difficult parts. And we’ll keep adding new Builder Pack partners and All Access benefits as the frontier moves. There has never been a better time to start.

You spent your days typing out functions, fighting errors, debugging migrations, and reading through other people’s code to figure out why a function did what it did. Another day in the code factory. That’s mostly over. With a good brainstorm and a well-structured plan https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvc3RvcC1jb2RpbmctYW5kLXN0YXJ0LXBsYW5uaW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjZ9, today’s models will write code, run tests, fix failures, and hand you back a clean pull request with code changes ready for review. I’ll open my laptop in the morning to a stack of green pull requests that agents shipped overnight, with features ready to merge before my first meeting. The factory has been automated. What I’m left to do is sit with the result and decide whether it’s any good—and then push it further than the agent could take it itself. A model doesn’t know what I would call good, sitting in front of this feature in this product I’m building for these users. Without that final human judgment, everything the agent produces is functional, but forgettable. A few weeks ago I clicked on an email card in Cora https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ== and knew instantly the animation was wrong—it slid in from the top of the screen instead of opening from where I’d clicked mid-screen. I told the agent, it fixed it, and I clicked again—better. Polish is the final step in compound engineering https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjh9—the discipline I’ve been developing over the past year for building software in a way that gets smarter with every iteration. As more of the middle parts of the process https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9RzBMVHY4aFE1Q3MiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0= gets automated, polish matters more now, because it’s the part of the work that’s still yours. Instead of the assembly line worker putting the code together, you’re the person at the end of the line who decides whether it’s good enough to put your name on. POLISH IN PRACTICE The card animation that looked wrong is a good example of how polish works, because animation is something that agents still struggle with (although it will improve over time). The pull request had passed every automated check. The review agents had nothing left to flag for me. I ran /ce-polish—part of the compound engineering plugin https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9FdmVyeUluYy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1wbHVnaW4iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9—which does three things and then gets out of my way. It checks out the branch I want to polish, starts the development server in the background, and opens the running app inside my editor, right next to the agent. From there, I clicked on an email card to open it and started my assessment. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdC80MzM4L29wdGltaXplZF83OTVjOTliMS1hNDI2LTQzMTEtODY0Ni1kMWM3MTc0NGRjMjIuanBnIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==The updated version of the Cora Brief in development, which I refined using the polish step. (Image courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.) Once the new design was open beside the agent, I could see that it still felt too loose. There was too much whitespace, and the cards needed to be more compact. I said so out loud via Monologue https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbW9ub2xvZ3VlLnRvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEyfQ==. The agent tightened the layout; the app hot-reloaded; I looked again—better. A plan could tell the agent to make the Brief feel like a magazine. It couldn’t tell the agent when the page had the right density. I had to see it and decide for myself. This is what polish looks like: a conversation between me, the running app, and the agent. The whole setup—/ce-polish, the side-by-side layout, the hot-reloading dev server—exists to keep that conversation fast enough that I never lose the thread of what I was looking at, like the exact pixel I was squinting at or the subtle difference I was trying to name. Adding steps like finding the file, switching windows, or pasting context for the agent would break the rhythm. Polish is the kind of work that only happens when you can stay in the flow. It’s also what makes polish strange compared to the other steps in compound engineering. Plan dispatches subagents to draft a structured specification. Review fans out parallel reviewers, each looking for a different class of issue. Ideate runs a divergent brainstorm and scores the survivors against confidence and complexity. Every other step is built around orchestration and structure—agents on top of agents, with templates and rubrics holding the work in place. Polish is the opposite. There are no agents because agents can’t decide whether the thing on screen matches the thing I meant to build. WHAT POLISH CHANGED ABOUT THE REST OF THE LOOP I knew polish would change the end of the loop. What I didn’t expect was that it would change the rest of it, too. Planning got sharper because I started writing plans that anticipated what I’d want to feel during polish, not just what I’d want the code to do. Reviewing got less anxious because I no longer had to catch every issue at the diff stage—I knew there was a later step that would catch the things only a person using the app could see. The constraint on my workflow used to be how fast I could ship. Now, with agents, it’s how good I can make it. Spend the extra time on polish, and the software gets better. Perhaps the biggest upgrade is to compound, the step where lessons from the loop get written down for the agent to pick up next time. Most of those lessons used to come from failures of correctness, like whether code uses the right conventions. After polish, the lessons started carrying taste. In the case of Cora, it’s things like animations that resolve toward the click, or scroll bars that hide unless invoked. Each one started as something I muttered at the browser and turned into a rule the system applied the next time, without me asking again. This is how polish compounds. The first time I caught the wrong-direction animation, I had to say so. On the next feature with a card in it, the agent formatted the right animation by default. THE WORK THAT’S LEFT FOR ME TO DO The work that used to define a great engineer is mostly done by agents now. What I now have to do is decide whether the work is good enough—then push past good enough to something that feels like it was made by a person who cared. The bar of what’s possible to ship in a day has gone up, so the bar of what’s worth shipping has gone up too. Because agents did the building, the cost of saying “this isn’t it—replan the whole thing” has all but disappeared. All it needs is an afternoon of agent time and a few dollars of compute. Your job changes from protecting your time to protecting the quality of what you’ve built. If you want to try it, here’s a headstart: Pick a feature you’ve shipped recently—ideally one with a user interface, where the gap between whether it works and is good shows, like an onboarding flow, a landing page, an animation, or a settings screen. Skip infrastructure for now. Start where your users will feel it. Install the compound engineering plugin https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9FdmVyeUluYy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy1wbHVnaW4iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9—it works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and a dozen other agent harnesses https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEkgUG9saXNoIFNvZnR3YXJlIFRoYXQgQWdlbnRzIEJ1aWx0IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzOCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvY2xhdWRlLWNvZGUtaXMtdGhlLW9wZW5jbGF3LWFsdGVybmF0aXZlLXlvdS1hbHJlYWR5LWhhdmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9. Run /ce-polish on the branch and let it do its three things. When the app comes up, use it. Click everything. Don’t review the code or take notes. Your instinct that this isn’t quite right is the only thing you’re trying to listen for. When you find something, say it out loud to the agent. Watch to make sure the change does what you want, then move on to the next thing. When you’ve made three or four changes that could apply beyond this feature, run /ce-compound to codify those preferences into rules for the system to follow next time, on its own. After a few Polish sessions, you’ll have a small standing library of taste, and the next feature you build will start that much closer to great. ---------------------------------------- Want more compound engineering?

But if you already work in Cursor, Grok 4.5 is right there, and it has earned a slot for long, multi-step assignments where speed, price, and follow-through count more than the last few points of quality.—Katie Parrott ---------------------------------------- KNOWLEDGE BASE “GPT-5.6 Sol Is Our Favorite Model to Collaborate With” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRnJvbSBEb2luZyB0byBUZW5kaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9ncHQtNS02LXNvbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0= by Katie Parrott https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRnJvbSBEb2luZyB0byBUZW5kaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=/Vibe Check https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRnJvbSBEb2luZyB0byBUZW5kaW5nIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMzNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjayIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=: Tested across coding, writing, research, spreadsheets, and agents, Open AI’s GPT-5.6 Sol is the model most of the Every team wants open all day—fast, resourceful, easy to steer, quick to find files, hold context, and turn out another pass while the decision is still fresh.

Autopilot is an extraordinary development—it makes flight safer and less exhausting. But when automation handles most of the routine work, pilots can be dangerously reliant on it, their manual flying skills atrophying. The solution was mandated simulation training so pilots stay sharp for the moments when the system fails or hands control back. Medicine will follow the same arc. First, we’ll automate too much—because it reduces burnout and documentation misery. Then we’ll panic about skill loss. Eventually, I hope, we’ll land somewhere sensible: AI scribes for routine cases, manual reps and simulation mandated for students, young doctors, and anything complex. I missed the AI scribe era by a few years and have since moved into health tech. But I know exactly what the younger version of me would have done after that bollocking.

Instead of using AI to complete one task at a time, you build a system that scans the available information, turns it into proposed decisions, and carries out the ones you approve. Over time, the system compounds your feedback to do more and more on its own. This changes your job. It requires you to see your work as—dare I say it—a loop https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEdQVC01LjYgQ2hhbmdlcyBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L2xvb3BzLWZvci1ub24tY29kZXJzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjd9.

GPT-5.6 Sol watches my inbox, decides what deserves my attention, does any necessary research, and presents each email with a concise summary and proposed reply. I either approve the draft or use Monologue https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEdQVC01LjYgQ2hhbmdlcyBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5tb25vbG9ndWUudG8vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ== to dictate what I want changed. Then I move to the next email. At the end of each sweep through my inbox, the agent derives my preferences from my revisions and decisions and remembers them for next time. It’s no coincidence this sounds like compound engineering https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEdQVC01LjYgQ2hhbmdlcyBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0=; it’s the same philosophy—just applied to knowledge work.

This isn’t a new way of working: Managers and entrepreneurs have done it for decades, and as models improved over the past year, programmers adopted it too. Now it’s knowledge work’s turn. This approach won’t work for every kind of knowledge work, and it’s still early. But where it works, it creates a remarkable kind of leverage. WHAT MAKES GPT-5.6 SOL AND CHATGPT WORK DIFFERENT GPT-5.6 Sol crosses the threshold that makes a continuous knowledge-work loop practical. It can scan your sources, identify what’s relevant, carry out approved work, and build custom tools for itself as needed. It can do all of this reliably even if you can’t code—and it can explain all of this to you in a way that’s understandable. It’s also fast and cheap enough that you can iterate rapidly—a crucial requirement for non-technical users who are going to make mistakes and need to see the results of a run before knowing if it’s good. Sol inside of ChatGPT Work is even better: Its in-app browser lets it use any website alongside you, and its powerful computer use function lets it operate any app on your machine. It also has Chronicle, a feature that periodically screenshots your computer to learn who you are and how you work, so it improves over time. Fable can do all of the above, but it’s too expensive, too powerful, and too slow for non-technical users. It often speaks in its own language that even programmers have a difficult time understanding. The Claude desktop app can also do much of this, but it’s hampered by hard-to-understand security controls and differences between Claude Code and Cowork’s features and capabilities. 5.6 and ChatGPT Work just…work. HOW TO SEE THE LOOPS IN YOUR WORK Most knowledge work happens in a three-step loop: 1. Gather and make sense of information 2. Make a decision and take action 3. Learn from the result These loops predate AI. A product manager reviews feedback and data, chooses priorities, watches what happens after shipping, and carries the result into the next planning cycle. An editor reads a draft, gives feedback, notices recurring problems and accepted suggestions, and then edits with that in mind. A support lead handles a recurring problem, sees whether the answer sticks, and updates the playbook or flags it to the product team. With GPT-5.6 in ChatGPT Work, the model takes on more of the work inside the loop. You still make the key decisions; you still choose what it pays attention to and how it improves over time. But your job now is to tend the loop. EXAMPLES OF LOOPS YOU CAN TEND To make this clearer, here are some examples of the kinds of loops I’m using GPT-5.6 in Codex to tend. * Hiring: GPT-5.6 reviews applications, referrals, and candidates’ public work; looks for evidence of fit, craft, and a credible path of trust; then presents the strongest candidates with its reasoning and a proposed next step. * Running Every: GPT-5.6 reads meeting transcripts, Slack conversations, and company metrics; identifies decisions, open questions, risks, and unresolved commitments; then proposes the follow-ups that deserve my attention. * Furnishing my apartment: GPT-5.6 scans listings on Facebook Marketplace using my constraints and taste, compares price, condition, distance, and quality, and presents the best options with a draft message to the seller. * Editorial planning: An editor gathers news, Slack discussions, and unfinished drafts; decides what belongs in an issue; publishes it; watches what readers engage with; and uses that response to plan the next issue. * Customer research: A researcher gathers interviews and support messages, identifies recurring needs, proposes a product change, watches how customers use it, and turns the results into the next research question. * Consulting delivery: A consultant gathers client conversations and project data, identifies the next priority, produces a recommendation or deliverable, sees how the client responds, and folds that result into the next round of work. TEND YOUR WORK LOOPS To help get you acquainted with how your knowledge work happens in loops, we built an experiment called Tend https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IEdQVC01LjYgQ2hhbmdlcyBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3RlbmQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9.

Dan Shipper said returning to older models felt like going back to the Stone Age. Austin Tedesco compared GPT-5.5 to shooting a basketball twice as heavy. Now Sol is back. It’s become our default for work we want to shape as we go: writing, coding, research, and analysis inside OpenAI’s new unified ChatGPT and Codex desktop app. Sol is fast, unusually good at finding and using context, and easy to redirect. Anthropic’s Fable still leads on broad assignments that require the model to decide what should be built in the first place. We get into all of it in our Vibe Check, including: * Why Sol scored 56/100 against Fable’s 90/100 on our Senior Engineer benchmark—and how 12,900 lines of unnecessary code explain most of the gap * How Kieran Klaassen rebuilt Proof with Sol in about one-third the time Fable needed, only to prefer Fable’s design * Why Sol finished last in our six-model writing benchmark while I (Katie Parrott) still used it to move through 24 drafts of this article in six to eight hours * How Sol found Arielle Shipper’s email, inspected 46 CSV files, and returned with seven useful questions—then made a calculation error serious enough to shake her trust THIS POST IS FOR PAYING SUBSCRIBERS.

Mod’s been using LLMs—primarily Opus, more recently Fable— to vibe-code alternatives to SaaS products like the email marketing platform Campaign Monitor and personal finance software Quicken. The benefit is twofold: He can tailor the service to his exact specifications, and a $1,200-a-year Claude fee is way cheaper than paying for multiple subscriptions. “I think we’re going to enter this golden age of tool building,” Mod says. “There’s going to be more competition in the marketplace forcing more innovation”—a net-positive “except for incumbents.” * It puts a higher premium on intent. AI allows you to attempt all sorts of things that previously required years of expertise and training. The possibilities are dizzying, which makes it easy to lose sight of what you want to devote your energy toward in the rush of endless production. Somewhat counterintuitively, the ease with which software can be made now has reaffirmed Mod’s commitment to writing. “There are plenty of people playing around with this stuff,” he says. “But there aren’t that many people who are going to think about or write the weird books I feel drawn to write, and as a human, that feels like the valuable thing for me to put my effort into.” While he’ll use AI for research and fact-checking, he still writes every word himself. Outsourcing that process to an LLM would defeat the purpose when “being in the mess of writing” is the point—and the way to get the results he’s looking for. * Mod creates intentional barriers to maintain focus. He keeps his phone on a separate floor from where he sleeps—and does his best not to check it until after lunch—and writes on a dedicated MacBook that isn’t connected to the internet. As soon as his brain encounters WiFi, he says, “I feel the chemicals shift and I can’t go into any kind of deep thinking place, deep attention, deep focus.” Miss an episode?

He’s been sharp and early on understanding the architecture that allows an agent to access the context it needs to get work done on behalf of an entire team https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2VsY29tZSB0byBFZmZpY2llbmN5bWF4eGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3Avd2hhdC1pLWxlYXJuZWQtb25ib2FyZGluZy1vdXItYWktcHJvamVjdC1tYW5hZ2VyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM4fQ==.

So where is Nityesh focused now that Anthropic has essentially commoditized the model https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2VsY29tZSB0byBFZmZpY2llbmN5bWF4eGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbnRocm9waWMuY29tL25ld3MvaW50cm9kdWNpbmctY2xhdWRlLXRhZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0MX0= of shared, Slack-based team agents (like the ones he built for Every’s consulting and editorial teams)? “Making the agent more token efficient,” he responds without hesitation. Up until now, you could throw money at AI experiments because the cost was largely covered by a subscription model that subsidized heavy use under a set monthly price. Those days are numbered, Nityesh says. “We are in a compute-constrained world where we will not have enough data centers to run tomorrow’s AI.” Expect usage costs to go up, particularly for individuals as AI companies prioritize big-budget enterprise customers. At the same time, cheaper models—many of them open-sourced—have grown more capable, operating, by Nityesh’s estimation, roughly seven months behind the frontier. Here’s how Nityesh is thinking about token efficiency: 1. Routing. The simplest version is to bake a model choice into a skill’s instructions, so that skill always defaults to a cheaper model for that task. Dynamic workflows—Anthropic’s orchestration feature for large, multi-agent Claude Code jobs—do this natively, letting you assign a specific model to each component of a job. It’s a “first-class” option, Nityesh says, but with a major caveat: You can only choose from Anthropic’s own models, not open-source options or those from OpenAI. 2. Evaluations. Before you route a task to a cheaper model, you need to evaluate whether it can execute without a drop in performance.. That’s hard to do because LLMs are “inherently bad at assessing their own capabilities,” Nityesh says. Creating good evaluation sets requires manual, good-old-fashioned human judgment. The stakes are high: “If you have good evals, then you lower the cost. But if you have bad evals, you’re getting bad signal,” he says. 3. Token audits. After an agent has completed a task, Nityesh has it break down how many tokens it used per step. He then reviews each one, identifies areas where token spend appears excessive for the complexity of the required work, and has the agent explain why it burned through so much compute. It’s a manual process; for all their intelligence, LLMs aren’t good at identifying their own inefficiencies. “If an AI tells me that it used 20 million tokens for reviewing the outputs, that’s a red flag because I know that [outsize number] doesn’t make sense,” Nityesh says. “But AI doesn’t have that intuition yet.” TRY IT THIS WEEK: AUDIT ONE REPEATED AGENT WORKFLOW. 1. Run it once and collect the receipts. Ask your agent: “Audit this run. Break down token use by stage. For each stage, report the model used, approximate input and output tokens, the purpose of the step, and why that amount was necessary. Mark anything you cannot verify as an estimate.” 2. Investigate any particularly token-hungry steps. Look for a mismatch between the difficulty of the work and the tokens consumed. The agent can explain its behavior, but you need to review and determine what seems unreasonable. 3. Change one variable and rerun the test. Trim the context, rewrite the skill instructions, split the work among subagents, or route one step to a cheaper model. Compare token use and output quality with the first run. Keep the change only if the result still passes your quality check. ---------------------------------------- TOOL SPOTLIGHT MANAGE MODEL COSTS WITH OPENROUTER Not everything done inside the AI writing assistant requires Opus 4.8 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2VsY29tZSB0byBFZmZpY2llbmN5bWF4eGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svb3B1cy00LTgtdmliZWNoZWNrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQyfQ==-grade intelligence—or cost.

Another big plus—and the original reason Marcus turned to OpenRouter—is reliability: It makes models available through multiple providers. If Anthropic runs into an issue, for example, OpenRouter can tap another provider, such as Google or AWS, so users don’t experience any interruption in service. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2VsY29tZSB0byBFZmZpY2llbmN5bWF4eGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzEsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL3Bvc3QvNDMzMS9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfZDIwNmVhNjAtM2QzOS00NTFkLWE1ZDktMGMzMTgzMTVkNmFkLmpwZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0N30=Frontier models don’t crack the top five.

(Lenny’s Newsletter) Entrepreneur and Substacker Lenny Rachitsky just published his second annual tech worker survey, which revealed “a tale of two workforces.” Roughly half of respondents experience AI as an amplifying, energizing force, while the rest feel shaken and destabilized by it. There are meaty insights in here, including a surge in people reporting “significant” burnout, how even tech workers optimistic about their professional trajectories wouldn’t recommend their career path to newcomers, and mixed emotions about the overall impact of AI on work. “The defining feeling about AI is ambivalence,” Lenny writes.

Meanwhile, entry-level job doomer (and Anthropic CEO) Dario Amodei recently acknowledged AI-motivated layoffs could be avoided should companies apply “creativity” to achieving more with the same resources.

It’s tempting to save Fable for the biggest, most heavy-duty jobs you have. But there are more ways to measure complexity than the size of the task. Some jobs are hard because they demand enormous execution against a settled plan. Others become hard when the model discovers that the goal, baseline, or standard was wrong from the start. A smaller model may handle the first surprisingly well. Fable’s advantage becomes clearest in the second. Anthropic member of technical staff Thariq Shihipar https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL3RycTIxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ== offers a way to recognize this second kind of difficulty before Fable spends time executing against the wrong premise.

He frames the problem as a gap between the map and the territory. The map is the prompt, skills, and context you give Claude. The territory is the codebase, the real world, and the constraints that each introduces. Thariq calls the gaps between them “unknowns”: moments when Claude must make a decision without enough information to know what you would want. Picking up on a framework popularized by former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Shihipar differentiates between “unknown knowns” and “ https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9UaGVyZV9hcmVfdW5rbm93bl91bmtub3ducyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMH0=unknown unknowns.” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9UaGVyZV9hcmVfdW5rbm93bl91bmtub3ducyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0= An “unknown known” is a criterion so obvious to you that you would never think to write it down, though you would recognize it when you saw it. An “unknown unknown” is a question you have not considered at all—which the model may encounter in the course of its work without a map to guide it. Every’s experience with Fable illustrates both kinds. Head of tech consulting Mike Taylor https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BtaWtlXzIxMTQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9 gave Fable the completed manuscript of his book about the AI programming framework DSPy. His request had explicit boundaries: Read it and tell him what he had missed. Yet it posed an unknown known. Mike expected to recognize a major omission if Fable surfaced one, even though he could not name it in advance. The difficult part was evaluation rather than execution. Every CEO Dan Shipper https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BkYW5zaGlwcGVyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEzfQ== pointed Fable at five weeks of stalled copy-editing experiments and asked it to review the work and “come to your own conclusion.” The model found an unknown unknown: Dan had set a goal of reproducing 70 percent of editor in chief Kate Lee https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRlXzE3NjciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9’s historical edits before measuring how often Kate herself would make the same edit twice. The team had spent five weeks improving performance against a target it had never validated. Fable’s useful contribution was finding fault in the assignment itself. These examples expand the definition of a Fable-sized task. Mike’s hinged on an unnamed standard. Dan’s was an unquestioned premise. Neither would look especially heavy-duty by scope alone. Once every Fable request hits the meter, triage by uncertainty as well as scale. Use a cheaper model when the goal, constraints, and definition of good are settled. Reach for Fable when the map is still incomplete. ---------------------------------------- https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Rhc2hib2FyZC5yZW5kZXIuY29tL3JlZ2lzdGVyP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZW1haWxcdTAwMjZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXJcdTAwMjZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249MjAyNl9wYXJ0bmVyc2hpcF9ldmVyeW5ld3NsZXR0ZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9 SHIP FASTER ON THE CLOUD TRUSTED BY EVERY AND 6M+ OTHER BUILDERS Kieran Klaassen built the first prototype of Cora in an afternoon and deployed it on Render.

STEAL THIS WORKFLOW LET ONE MODEL WRITE AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE REST Every’s head of social media, Becky Isjwara, spent weeks trying to get Opus 4.8 to turn long livestreams into short social clips. It could find the right moments, but it cut audio mid-word and let the captions drift out of sync. Last week, she gave the same job to Fable and asked for something more durable than clips: a method a cheaper model could follow next time. Here’s how she did it: 1. Give the expensive model the job and the failed attempts. Becky supplied the livestream, examples of the clips she wanted, and the errors Opus had made. She also explained that one good clip might splice together moments several minutes apart. 2. Make it document the method. Fable planned each clip in text, marked each segment with its first and last spoken phrases, matched those phrases to word-level timestamps in code, and inspected frames after every render. Becky had it save the supporting scripts and editorial instructions outside the chat. 3. Test the manual on the cheaper model. Next time Becky needs to clip a video, she’ll start with a new Opus session with the instructions, scripts, and a fresh source file. She’ll bring back Fable when the format changes or the instructions fail in a new way. Do this week: Give Fable one recurring job your everyday model fumbles. After it completes the job, paste: Turn the method you used into instructions that Opus can follow on a new example. Put repeatable, rule-based steps in scripts. Put judgment calls in a skill with examples. Define the inputs, outputs, and quality checks. Test the workflow once, then list anything that still requires Fable. ---------------------------------------- SKILL SHARE ASK YOUR PROJECT WHAT IT THINKS Ask an agent for its view on a new library, framework, or idea, and it will often judge the thing in general while ignoring your dependencies, prior decisions, and constraints. Product leader and compound engineering contributor Trevin Chow kept reaching for a new skill in Every’s open-source compound engineering plugin https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jb21wb3VuZC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOX0= called /ce-pov https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dpdGh1Yi5jb20vRXZlcnlJbmMvY29tcG91bmQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmctcGx1Z2luL2Jsb2IvMTc3MTY1ZDdiZTM2M2M1MjU3NWM4NzBhZTM3MTNmMDBmZTZjYzI2Zi9kb2NzL3NraWxscy9jZS1wb3YubWQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9 because it forces that advice to survive contact with the project. The workflow works in code repositories and in project folders made of documents, decks, or data: 1. Frame a decision. Give /ce-pov an external input and say what you need to decide. Try: /ce-pov Should we adopt this database library here? A bare link also works. The skill inspects it and asks which decision you want to make instead of guessing. 2. Require project and external evidence. The skill must cite a verified project fact—an existing dependency or integration point—and at least one external source. It checks disconfirming evidence and prior decisions before grading. 3. Follow the grade. Every run ends with one of five verdicts: Adopt, Trial, Hold, Reject, or Not-our-problem. It then recommends a plan, a scope discussion, a reversible test, or a stop. Try it this week: Open a real project folder and paste one tempting link: /ce-pov [link] Should we adopt this here? Read the cited project fact before the grade. If the skill misunderstood your situation, the verdict has failed. ---------------------------------------- DATA POINT THE CHEAPER MODEL WON 13.8 times cheaper Researchers at Bridgewater AIA Labs, working with Thinking Machines Lab and using its Tinker training platform, fine-tuned Qwen3-235B https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RoaW5raW5nbWFjaGluZXMuYWkvbmV3cy9sZWFybmluZy10by1yZXBsaWNhdGUtZXhwZXJ0LWp1ZGdtZW50LWluLWZpbmFuY2lhbC10YXNrcy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9 to outperform every frontier model they tested across six financial tasks—at 13.8 times lower inference cost per task.

Their new, sunnier case is that companies will use AI to take on more work with the same staff, and people will move into new roles as machines take over parts of their jobs. This tracks with what Dan has argued https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5ldmVyeS50by9wL2FmdGVyLWF1dG9tYXRpb24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9: When AI makes code and writing cheap to produce, companies produce much more of both, but they still need engineers and editors to decide what’s worth keeping. The open question is who gets that new work—and whether it goes to the people whose old jobs disappear. ---------------------------------------- Katie Parrott https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVXNlIEZhYmxlIEJlZm9yZSBZb3UgS25vdyBXaGF0IHRvIEFzayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMzAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9 is a staff writer at Every.

Anthropic launched Claude Science https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQSBUYWxlIG9mIFR3byBNb2RlbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jbGF1ZGUuY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QvY2xhdWRlLXNjaWVuY2UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzZ9—a desktop research tool that lets scientists run analyses, visualize molecular and genomic data, and show the exact code and steps behind every result— and announced it’s running its own preclinical drug programs, which likely had pharmacology executives swearing at their laptops. However, as a doctor named Patrick Malone https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQSBUYWxlIG9mIFR3byBNb2RlbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9wYXRyaWNrc21hbG9uZS9zdGF0dXMvMjA3MjMzNzgyOTM2MzkyOTQ5MSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30= tweeted, it’s unlikely that Anthropic will develop its own drugs and see it all the way through to the hands of a patient. Instead, Anthropic will use these internal drug programs to test and improve its own AI tools. The goal is to fix the major bottlenecks in drug development—particularly evaluation and verification—so it can build a stronger platform that pharma companies will bend over backwards to use. As Malone points out, this is known as dogfooding—deliberately using your own technology on real, difficult problems so you can identify and fix their weaknesses. In this instance, dogfooding will be used to test how well an AI performs on complex tasks like identifying drug targets or designing molecules, and then verifying those results by conducting laboratory experiments and clinical studies to confirm whether the AI’s suggestions are indeed correct. These hurdles are time-consuming and expensive to resolve because, unlike software, where you can test something in seconds, biological systems move slowly, and feedback only comes after living cells or organisms have had time to respond. If—and it’s a big if—Anthropic can solve this problem, it builds the workflow layer that ties data, models, experiments, and decision-making together, and, by extension, sells big pharma the platform that makes drug development faster.

Anthropic launched Claude Science https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQSBUYWxlIG9mIFR3byBNb2RlbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jbGF1ZGUuY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QvY2xhdWRlLXNjaWVuY2UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Nzl9—a desktop research tool that lets scientists run analyses, visualize molecular and genomic data, and show the exact code and steps behind every result— and announced it’s running its own preclinical drug programs, which likely had pharmacology executives swearing at their laptops. However, as a doctor named Patrick Malone https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQSBUYWxlIG9mIFR3byBNb2RlbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9wYXRyaWNrc21hbG9uZS9zdGF0dXMvMjA3MjMzNzgyOTM2MzkyOTQ5MSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4MH0= tweeted, it’s unlikely that Anthropic will develop its own drugs and see it all the way through to the hands of a patient. Instead, Anthropic will use these internal drug programs to test and improve its own AI tools. The goal is to fix the major bottlenecks in drug development—particularly evaluation and verification—so it can build a stronger platform that pharma companies will bend over backwards to use. As Malone points out, this is known as dogfooding—deliberately using your own technology on real, difficult problems so you can identify and fix their weaknesses. In this instance, dogfooding will be used to test how well an AI performs on complex tasks like identifying drug targets or designing molecules, and then verifying those results by conducting laboratory experiments and clinical studies to confirm whether the AI’s suggestions are indeed correct. These hurdles are time-consuming and expensive to resolve because, unlike software, where you can test something in seconds, biological systems move slowly, and feedback only comes after living cells or organisms have had time to respond. If—and it’s a big if—Anthropic can solve this problem, it builds the workflow layer that ties data, models, experiments, and decision-making together, and, by extension, sells big pharma the platform that makes drug development faster. This strategy is known as selling the shovels, and it’s been a good one since 1849.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQSBUYWxlIG9mIFR3byBNb2RlbHMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9Bc2h3aW5yZWFkcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4MX0= ---------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Here are the highlights. * Codex as a lower-friction Claude Code. Natalia dedicated a lot of time creating folder structures and file systems in Claude Code. She doesn’t need to create similar elaborate setups with Codex, because the app builds them for her as they work together. “I have to focus a little less on architecting things well—which is very much a skill and something our engineers do extremely well. I can just trust it to make good decisions and build solutions for me,” she says. In practice, Natalia opens the Codex project she’s prioritized for the day, and works from there, trusting that Codex will update the project accordingly. * Codex as a direct report. As with Claude Code—or a human employee—Codex needs the right context to hit it out of the park. A recent example: Natalia was working with Attio, the CRM Every’s consulting team uses to manage inbound leads, client relationships, and the sales pipeline. Her prompt was essentially “set up my CRM to accurately reflect what happened in my emails and conversations with existing and prospective clients.” Because Codex had access to her inbox, meeting transcripts, and the sales-pipeline logic, it could enrich hundreds of client and prospect records while she slept. “I woke up to a CRM that was fully set up—work that would have taken weeks otherwise,” she says. “It’s one of those moments of joy and delight with AI and my quality of life has improved as a result of this loop.” * Codex as a way to help care for loved ones. Natalia’s father has multiple nurses who support his care, a reality that requires managing medical appointments, follow-up protocols, and the flow of information from healthcare providers and family members. “Codex helped me create an operating system for how, as a family, we could triage my dad’s care,” she says. The app gives her a central place to track everything instead of Natalia spending her time digging through scattered threads. “Codex has made it really easy to digest all of that in a single place and to allow us to support my dad in what we can do best—which is to be present and loving as his family.” ---------------------------------------- HOW OTHERS AT EVERY USE CODEX If you’ve been following our coverage https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggaW4gUHJhY3RpY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zZWFyY2g_cXVlcnk9Y29kZXgiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9—or Dan’s X account https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggaW4gUHJhY3RpY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9kYW5zaGlwcGVyL3N0YXR1cy8yMDUyMDU0MDc3NjU2MjUyNTEyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==—you know we can’t shut up about how good Codex has gotten.

This flexibility makes Codex powerful https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggaW4gUHJhY3RpY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvY29kZXgtZm9yLWtub3dsZWRnZS13b3JrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM5fQ==, but it can also make for an overwhelming onboarding experience; if you can use Codex for anything, where do you start? At Every, we find the best answer to that question for any tool or platform comes from looking at how people on our team are using it in concrete, practical terms. That’s why this week’s edition of Context Window is all about use cases for putting Codex to work.

Here are the highlights. * Codex as a lower-friction Claude Code. Natalia dedicated a lot of time creating folder structures and file systems in Claude Code. She doesn’t need to create similar elaborate setups with Codex, because the app builds them for her as they work together. “I have to focus a little less on architecting things well—which is very much a skill and something our engineers do extremely well. I can just trust it to make good decisions and build solutions for me,” she says. In practice, Natalia opens the Codex project she’s prioritized for the day, and works from there, trusting that Codex will update the project accordingly. * Codex as a direct report. As with Claude Code—or a human employee—Codex needs the right context to hit it out of the park. A recent example: Natalia was working with Attio, the CRM Every’s consulting team uses to manage inbound leads, client relationships, and the sales pipeline. Her prompt was essentially “set up my CRM to accurately reflect what happened in my emails and conversations with existing and prospective clients.” Because Codex had access to her inbox, meeting transcripts, and the sales-pipeline logic, it could enrich hundreds of client and prospect records while she slept. “I woke up to a CRM that was fully set up—work that would have taken weeks otherwise,” she says. “It’s one of those moments of joy and delight with AI and my quality of life has improved as a result of this loop.” * Codex as a way to help care for loved ones. Natalia’s father has multiple nurses who support his care, a reality that requires managing medical appointments, follow-up protocols, and the flow of information from healthcare providers and family members. “Codex helped me create an operating system for how, as a family, we could triage my dad’s care,” she says. The app gives her a central place to track everything instead of Natalia spending her time digging through scattered threads. “Codex has made it really easy to digest all of that in a single place and to allow us to support my dad in what we can do best—which is to be present and loving as his family.” ---------------------------------------- HOW OTHERS AT EVERY USE CODEX If you’ve been following our coverage https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggaW4gUHJhY3RpY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zZWFyY2g_cXVlcnk9Y29kZXgiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTF9—or Dan’s X account https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggaW4gUHJhY3RpY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzI2LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9kYW5zaGlwcGVyL3N0YXR1cy8yMDUyMDU0MDc3NjU2MjUyNTEyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjUyfQ==—you know we can’t shut up about how good Codex has gotten.

Forget vague heuristics such as “AI wrappers.” Dan Pupius, chief technology officer at The General Partnership, argues that founders need a more robust framework to understand the risks and opportunities of building with AI. He encourages founders to look holistically at the implicit assumptions underneath their AI strategy, from the cost of intelligence, model self-sufficiency, platform lock-in, and the regulatory environment. I worked with Dan more than a decade ago at Medium, and the same quiet, thoughtful brilliance I knew him for then shines in his nuanced analysis.—Kate Lee https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGVfMTc2NyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1fQ== ---------------------------------------- I’ve built products on ideas that people thought were wrong—and watched those same ideas become inevitable. When I helped to rebuild Gmail at Google in 2005, we were betting that communication was becoming faster, more conversational, and increasingly browser-native. So we built GChat, which put real-time chat inside your browser for the first time, right next to your email. When I was running engineering at Medium, the bet was that social feeds were not enough for deeper thinking and publishing, so even while signups to Twitter, Snapchat, and Vine were exploding, we championed long-form writing. In each case, we started with an insight about where behavior, technology, and markets were moving—and built our bets on top of it. But now, the rapid pace of change in AI means that the assumptions and insights underlying a strategy can shift mid-execution, causing those bets to crumble. Founders need a more flexible way of thinking about which bets to take. Instead of asking “What do we think will happen?”, ask yourself two fundamental questions. First: What assumptions are irreversible? If you build deeply on top of one provider, such as one model provider, you need to rewire the product to move away from that provider. Second: What assumptions can we still revise? Assuming tokens will stay expensive is a bet you can hold loosely—if costs fall, you can change your approach without rebuilding anything. At The General Partnership, where I am the chief technology officer, we developed a framework to help founders understand which bets they’re making, and which ones they can reverse when building with AI. The four-axis framework moves the conversation away from broad labels like “ https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcG9kY2FzdC9oZS1idWlsdC1hLWdwdC13cmFwcGVyLXRoYXQtaGFzLWhhbGYtYS1taWxsaW9uLXVzZXJzLWFuZC1rZWVwcy1ncm93aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjZ9AI wrapper https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcG9kY2FzdC9oZS1idWlsdC1hLWdwdC13cmFwcGVyLXRoYXQtaGFzLWhhbGYtYS1taWxsaW9uLXVzZXJzLWFuZC1rZWVwcy1ncm93aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjd9” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcG9kY2FzdC9oZS1idWlsdC1hLWdwdC13cmFwcGVyLXRoYXQtaGFzLWhhbGYtYS1taWxsaW9uLXVzZXJzLWFuZC1rZWVwcy1ncm93aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjh9 and toward the specific futures a company is betting on. The goal is to recognize sooner when you’re wrong and move before the market forces you to—not to predict the future more precisely. THE FOUR BETS We kept seeing a pattern with founders. A team would walk us through their strategy. It would sound reasonable and exciting, but the more we looked, the more often these companies’ fates seemed to hinge on factors outside their control. Those factors mapped to four axes of bets that startups were taking. The companies that understood this knew where the tailwinds and risks of building with AI were. Those that didn’t were exposed. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdC80MzI0L29wdGltaXplZF9lY2YwMGQzNS04NzYzLTQyMjItOGI1My1hNDJmNGI3ZDMwMGUucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9 TOKEN ECONOMICS: SCARCE ↔ ABUNDANT If you’re a token consumer—which most AI startups are—abundance is good news, and right now we’re in an era of fragile token abundance. Your margins improve. You can do more, experiment more freely, and build features that would have been prohibitively expensive a year ago. Cursor and its ilk exist as a category because the cost of running AI got cheap enough for products to run constantly in the background and still make money. But abundance is a trap: If everyone can build what you’re building for pennies, what’s your advantage? As a founder, you need to know whether you’re betting on costs rising enough to be a barrier—or whether you have a defensible advantage that holds even if they don’t. Ask yourself: Does the cost of running AI become high enough to constrain you, or fall toward zero? If you’re betting on scarcity, you need to articulate why falling token costs won’t destroy your advantage. One example: applications where agents run constantly, not just on demand—at that volume, even cheap tokens add up, so squeezing cost out of every call becomes difficult. Another is latency-sensitive work, like voice agents built on Vapi https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vdmFwaS5haS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTB9, where any delay makes the conversation feel broken. There, you’re stuck paying for the fastest models even as other models get cheaper. If you’re betting on abundance continuing, you need to build an advantage with one of the following TK: proprietary data, domain expertise, distribution, or knowing what to build. We believe that tokens will keep getting cheaper. But we see value in companies that reduce cost variance—making spend predictable and insulating customers from volatility. A startup that helps customers cap their maximum bills is more defensible than one competing on average price. We’ve seen it in healthcare: Companies processing huge volumes of data still need to manage their worst-case costs and avoid expensive reprocessing of documents, transcripts, and session logs. Even as per-token prices fall, being able to tell a client “Your bill won’t exceed X” is valuable. MODEL SELF-SUFFICIENCY: NEEDS SCAFFOLDING ↔ HANDLES NATIVELY This axis determines the fate of what we’d broadly call “model wrapper” companies. If you’re augmenting what models can do—adding memory, improving retrieval, orchestrating multi-step workflows—you’re implicitly wagering that the model won’t one day be able to do that itself. That’s a bet with an expiration date. Maybe a good bet, maybe not, but you should know you’re making it. Harvey, an AI platform for law firms, and Sierra, a customer service AI, are both counting on a general model not being able to do what they do in their niches. Ask yourself: Would my product still be needed if the model had unlimited capabilities? If the answer is yes, you’re building integration. Companies whose primary value is integration—connecting models to messy external systems—are competitive regardless of how capable the models become. A company that brings AI into healthcare workflows, say, sits on a more defensible part of the axis. Any model can reason over medical information; what’s defensible is that the product integrates with the systems of record, document flows, and operational constraints that healthcare already runs on. If the answer is no, you’re building scaffolding. Companies whose primary value is making models smarter face absorption risk—what they offer today is augmenting what current models can do. A company doing AI-assisted code review may be building something that customers need right now, but as models get better at catching errors and understanding larger repositories, the company has to be clear about what remains differentiated outside the model. Some capabilities have already been absorbed by models—context windows have expanded dramatically, reducing the need to break documents into small chunks for retrieval in many use cases, and we think models will keep getting more capable. Other capabilities look stickier for now: routing between providers with different strengths or costs, and compliance in regulated industries. A capable model can learn the regulations, but it can’t be trusted to check its own work. Financial model risk management takes this tension into account: The Federal Reserve has told banking organizations that model risk management should include “effective challenge https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZlZGVyYWxyZXNlcnZlLmdvdi9zdXBlcnZpc2lvbnJlZy9zcmxldHRlcnMvU1IyNjAyLnBkZiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0=,” review by parties independent of the model’s builders. Regulated healthcare has the same structure. When something goes wrong, a regulator or enterprise needs an accountable party to point to, and “the model judged itself compliant” isn’t one. PLATFORM STRUCTURE: LOCK-IN ↔ COMMODITIZED The next axis concerns the tools and infrastructure on which you are building your business. Ask yourself: Are you locked into one AI provider or can you swap them without breaking things? If you’re building on one provider’s ecosystem, know that you’re making this bet. You might be optimizing for their APIs, using their fine-tuning infrastructure, or depending on capabilities unique to their models—like OpenAI’s interface for apps to call their models in code, Anthropic’s ability to control a computer like a human would, or Gemini’s web search integration. The more you do that, the harder it becomes to switch providers without rebuilding significant parts of your product. That’s not inherently wrong. Amazon Web Services (AWS) lock-in has been fine for most companies. Have a view on whether that analogy can apply in your case. If what you’re building doesn’t depend on one provider’s ecosystem, you’re counting on model choice mattering less over time. You might be building multi-model routing, or tools that work across providers—like OpenRouter, LiteLLM, or Vercel’s AI Gateway. You’re betting that switching costs will stay low and that what sets you apart lives in your product, not the underlying model. The analogy here is Postgres—open-source relational database technology that lets users store and query structured data. There are now dozens of managed Postgres providers competing on execution rather than the core technology. Both can be right. The answer might differ by use case—if you need the best possible model for a high-stakes task, you’ll probably anchor to one frontier provider. If you need something good enough to summarize a document, you’ll pick the cheapest tool that week. Concentration in AI infrastructure suggests one or two providers will eventually dominate, but that consolidation is years away, not months. You don’t have to lock into OpenAI or Anthropic today if you can stay flexible for the next few years while open-weight models like Llama, DeepSeek, and Qwen are still viable alternatives. Betting on one provider isn’t wrong right now. But we like founders who have thought about how they’d diversify if necessary, even if they’re not planning to today. TRUST AND GOVERNANCE: PERMISSIVE ↔ CONSTRAINED This axis concerns the rules and compliance norms under which you operate. Unlike the others, it depends less on technology itself, and more on regulators, enterprise buyers, and public reaction. Ask yourself: Do you move fast now and deal with governance later, betting the rules stay permissive? Or do you invest in audit trails and certifications upfront, betting compliance only gets stricter? If you’re moving fast and treating governance as a future problem, you’re betting regulation stays light. That’s been a reasonable bet in the U.S. market so far. It may continue to be reasonable. If you’re investing early in audit trails, explainability infrastructure, and standards like NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001—frameworks for managing AI risk—along with model cards that document a model’s training data, limitations, and intended use, you’re betting the environment tightens. You’re accepting slower movement now to be ready when compliance stops being optional. Both have opportunity costs. The fast-mover gives up positioning if governance requirements suddenly become important. The early-compliance investor gives up speed if the permissive environment continues. This axis is harder to predict than the others. A major AI failure with undeniable public harm—medical misdiagnosis at scale, infrastructure disruption, something with casualties—would trigger legislative response faster than a roadmap can adapt. Labor displacement could bring unexpected regulation if it catches enough political fire. Or you could have something like what happened https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndzai5jb20vdGVjaC9haS9hbnRocm9waWMtaGFsdHMtYWNjZXNzLXRvLXRvcC1haS1tb2RlbHMtYWZ0ZXItdS1zLWJhbi1vbi1mb3JlaWduLXVzZS1hNGJjYTJjYyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMn0= with Anthropic’s Fable model https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9hbnRocm9waWMtbXl0aG9zLW91ci1mYWJsZS12aWJlLWNoZWNrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEzfQ==. Compliance can go viral, too. Large enterprises increasingly require vendors to meet AI-specific standards. If a few Fortune 100 companies mandate AI audits and model cards https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vaHVnZ2luZ2ZhY2UuY28vZG9jcy9odWIvZW4vbW9kZWwtY2FyZHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9, every vendor that wants to sell to them has to comply, and then those vendors’ other customers start expecting the same thing. This creates de facto regulation without legislation. It moves faster than the government and is harder to predict. The trajectory of the SOC2 security compliance standard is one precedent. Once large enterprises started requiring SOC2 from their vendors, it cascaded through the procurement chain until any B2B SaaS company needed it to win enterprise deals—even early-stage startups. Automated compliance company Vanta built a business on that wave. Whether AI compliance follows the same path is an open question. PUTTING THE FRAMEWORK INTO PRACTICE For each axis, ask yourself four questions. * What is our implicit bet? Most of us haven’t articulated this clearly, even to ourselves. Writing it down forces precision. Think of it as an extension of the classic “Why now” slide in a pitch deck—explaining why the timing is right and which version of the future you’re building toward. * What would have to be true for that bet to pay off? If you’re betting on token abundance improving your margins, what has to be true about the cost curve, about your usage patterns, about competitive dynamics? If you’re betting on scaffolding remaining valuable, what has to be true about the pace of model capability improvement? * What signals would tell us we’re wrong? This is where most strategic planning fails. If you can’t name the signals that would cause you to think you were making the wrong bet, you’re not really stress-testing your strategy. * How quickly could we adapt if we are wrong? Some companies can pivot. Others have made commitments—technical, organizational, contractual—that lock them into a fixed position. Neither is inherently better, but you should know which kind of company you are. As business strategist Hamilton Helmer argued in 7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy, stronger moats survive shifts in the market. If your competitive advantage depends on one specific cost or regulatory assumption holding, you’re exposed. But if your advantage works across multiple possible futures—if you’re defensible whether tokens get cheaper or stay expensive, whether regulation stays light or tightens—you’re in a durable position. That same logic applies to how you size your bets: High-conviction founders often win precisely because they make concentrated bets while others hedge, but they are aware of this choice. Some bets can flip in a day. Intel’s former CEO Andy Grove called these “ https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmdvb2RyZWFkcy5jb20vd29yay9xdW90ZXMvNjY0NDg0LW9ubHktdGhlLXBhcmFub2lkLXN1cnZpdmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9strategic inflection points https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmdvb2RyZWFkcy5jb20vd29yay9xdW90ZXMvNjY0NDg0LW9ubHktdGhlLXBhcmFub2lkLXN1cnZpdmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lmdvb2RyZWFkcy5jb20vd29yay9xdW90ZXMvNjY0NDg0LW9ubHktdGhlLXBhcmFub2lkLXN1cnZpdmUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9—shifts that upend the basis of competition. Token costs could spike from geopolitical shocks. Models could absorb capabilities you’re betting they won’t. Open-weight models could close the capability gap. A single AI failure with real harm could trigger a legislative response overnight. You don’t need to predict which of these will happen, but you need to know which ones are threats for your company, and what you’d do if they did. ARTICULATE YOUR BETS Your strategy is already making bets about these axes. The question is whether you’ve written them down and made them explicit. Having explicit bets creates internal alignment. Your team knows what you’re building toward and what would cause a pivot. They can make local decisions that stay consistent with the overall direction because they understand the assumptions underneath. When the plan changes, they still know where it’s headed. Explicit bets enable faster adaptation. When signals shift, you recognize it sooner because you know what you were watching for. You’ve already thought through the implications. You’re not starting from scratch. So, take an hour. Write down your implicit bet on each axis and what it means for your business. Then write down the signals that would tell you you’re wrong. This is harder than it sounds. Most teams discover their bets aren’t as crisp as they thought, or that they’ve been making incompatible ones in parallel. If you can’t articulate them, your strategy is less coherent than you think. Start there. ---------------------------------------- Dan Pupius https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiWW91ciBBSSBTdHJhdGVneSBJcyBNYWtpbmcgQmV0cy4gRG8gWW91IEtub3cgV2hpY2ggT25lcz8gIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGRhbl84NTU5IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ== is the chief technology officer at the General Partnership, where he leads engineering work across the firm and with its portfolio companies.

Data doesn’t drive decisions, narrative does, and, love it or hate it, a slide deck presented on a glowing screen is the closest thing we have to our ancestors gathering around a campfire to tell stories. The slides I made early in my career were ugly on purpose to show that my ideas were good enough—I didn’t need fancy formatting to convince. But if you won’t last long with that attitude in finance or consulting. Clients see any lack of attention to detail as a sign that you can’t be trusted. Analysts pull all-nighters making slides pixel-perfect because they could get fired for using the wrong font or logo.

If the colors were sloppy, he reasoned, the numbers were too. We’re no Goldman Sachs or McKinsey, but at Every, we still have to communicate competency in our presentations. At the same time, we wouldn’t be a very credible AI enablement partner if we weren’t using AI to help us. The challenge is that AI-created decks often don’t tell a strong story https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vYmVhcmx5YWkvc3RhdHVzLzIwNDU5MDEyODQ1NTgxNjAzNDMvcGhvdG8vMSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ==—and that lack of narrative cohesion communicates the same thing as sloppy design: You didn’t care enough to pay attention to detail. What follows is the story of our attempt to create the perfect PowerPoint with AI. We started with Claude’s and Codex’s PowerPoint skills, but neither could automate the process to the level of quality we needed. So we built our own. If you’re creating enough presentations—or your quality bar is similarly high—it may be worth following the same path. CLAUDE GETS CLOSE, BUT CAN’T CLOSE EVERY DEAL When I joined Every in February, our consulting team was still making all our slides manually in Figma—about two to three decks per week. The first thing I tried was asking Claude Code to create PowerPoint slides for an upcoming presentation. It didn’t go well: https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdC80MzIzL29wdGltaXplZF9jOWJkMmZjNi1jN2ZhLTQyZDUtODhjNS0wNTI0NzM2Njk2NTQucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjh9Mike’s first attempt at creating a PowerPoint with Claude did not go well. (All images courtesy of Mike Taylor.) To make Claude work at all with PowerPoint, Anthropic had to invest a lot into creating its official pptx skill https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9hbnRocm9waWNzL3NraWxscy9ibG9iL21haW4vc2tpbGxzL3BwdHgvU0tJTEwubWQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=. A single markdown file doesn’t cut it. Its skill has 59 different files in the folder, 16 of them Python scripts for interacting with PowerPoint. The skill.md file itself is over 4,000 words, and there are an additional 3,000 words in reference files. Claude is surprisingly good at building slides from scratch—not because it knows PowerPoint, but because a slide is fundamentally a layout problem. Arranging text blocks, images, and shapes on a page is the same thing HTML was built to do, and Claude writes HTML fluently. So it can lay out a polished deck and hand it back ready to present better than any of the dedicated AI deck creation tools on the market. But the minute you use a company template, it goes off the rails. Matching an existing design and writing style https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2FpLXN0eWxlLWd1aWRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ== is a hard task for AI because it requires spatial awareness, narrative structure, research diligence, design aesthetics, and good taste—all domains where humans still have the edge. For a well-researched presentation, you need to feed Claude a lot of material, and everything you give it counts against its context window, the amount of text it can read in one chat session. Pile in more than 200,000 tokens (roughly 150,000 words) and you hit context rot https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRyeWNocm9tYS5jb20vcmVzZWFyY2gvY29udGV4dC1yb3QiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTF9: The model starts to get confused and make dumb mistakes. Furthermore, Microsoft’s .pptx file format was never designed with agents in mind––it’s messy, token-inefficient, and hard to manipulate reliably. An AI-generated deck that’s 80 percent right is often worse than one using no AI at all. Reviewing a polished-looking presentation for hidden errors is harder than building the right one yourself, and people over-trust AI outputs https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcHVibGlrYXRpb25lbi5yZXV0bGluZ2VuLXVuaXZlcnNpdHkuZGUvZnJvbnRkb29yL2RlbGl2ZXIvaW5kZXgvZG9jSWQvNTkyOS9maWxlLzU5MjkucGRmIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEyfQ==. In our pursuit of the perfect PowerPoint, we’ve found that automation only becomes genuinely useful when it gets you close to a zero-percent defect rate. Reaching that standard is possible—but only after an outrageous amount of work writing, testing, and orchestrating skill.md files. The Anthropic skill also does a poor job of updating or editing old decks. Because .pptx files are stored as XML and Claude is trained on millions of times more HTML than XML, the model struggles to mentally render what it’s working on. It can’t reliably predict where text will wrap or images will overlap, so it’s making changes without really seeing the slide. TRAINING A SUPERAGENT ON SLIDES Our senior applied AI engineer Nityesh Agarwal https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQG5pdHllc2giLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9 took it upon himself to solve the PowerPoint problem. He adapted the Anthropic PowerPoint skill by adding several key features and incorporating it into our AI assistant, Claudie https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC93aGF0LWktbGVhcm5lZC1vbmJvYXJkaW5nLW91ci1haS1wcm9qZWN0LW1hbmFnZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9. The biggest improvement came from adopting a blueprint-first approach. Instead of immediately generating a final deck, Claudie would first create a plan for what slides were needed and write detailed visual direction notes for each one. It drew on two inputs: an agenda built from Granola client-call notes, and a table of contents laying out the main narrative points for the session. Then Claudie would wait for my approval in Slack before proceeding. This human-in-the-loop process saved us at several points and helped avoid wasting a lot of tokens on decks that would have been too shallow to present. Because the agenda input detailed the order of events and bullet points on each topic, it rarely missed a slide. At the time, slide preparation was about 80 percent of my work, and I was traveling around the country to do three or four workshops for our clients about AI adoption and implementation a week. I couldn’t make decks without AI because I had no time to do it all manually. With Claudie and her new PowerPoint skill, I could hop on a plane and have the slides done for me by the time I arrived—Claudie, who runs on a Mac Mini in our New York office, could be working even if I was offline. After checking into my hotel, I could make manual edits and be ready to present the next day. We also built skills for Claudie to synthesize call notes into an agenda for each workshop, draft proposals for new engagements, and build the exercises for participants to work through on the day.

Trust me, it wasn’t perfect. Opus decided to invent a new brand style because it thought ours wasn’t good enough. (I prefer Opus’s style, but technically it didn’t follow my instructions.) After Claudie gave us a draft presentation, it took as many as 40 rounds of back-and-forth iteration to get the final product, and I still had to make an hour or two of edits from there for each deck. The biggest quality of life improvement was that I could “set it and forget it”—fire off a request to Claudie in Slack before a meeting, and give feedback to Claudie before I start my next one. There were still a few cases when the results of Claudie’s work were unusable. When the material was especially complex or unfamiliar, the presentation barely scratched the surface and left out important insights. For a half-day workshop on Symphony https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vb3BlbmFpLmNvbS9pbmRleC9vcGVuLXNvdXJjZS1jb2RleC1vcmNoZXN0cmF0aW9uLXN5bXBob255LyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOX0=, OpenAI’s orchestration library, I used only a handful of Claudie’s slides and stayed up until 2 a.m. to perfect the deck myself. When the stakes got high enough, I chickened out. The first time we presented to the entire C-Suite of a billion-dollar company at an executive offsite https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC95b3VyLWJlc3QtYWktc3RyYXRlZ3ktc3RhcnRzLWF0LXRoZS10b3AiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9, I made the slides by hand. Still, by the middle of April, things were starting to improve. We were getting to the point where our decks were on brand and took half an hour to correct, instead of the three-plus hours they used to take to create from scratch. BUILD 25 DECKS, MAKE NO MISTAKES By the end of April, after stress-testing the workflow internally on dozens of decks, we were ready to bring on outside help. We contracted with a company whose team creates roughly 25 sales decks a week. At that scale, automating the deck work made sense—it freed the team for higher-value tasks like business development. But these decks were going to serious sales prospects, and a single mistake risked damaging trust with a potential customer. At first, I started with Nityesh’s existing, blueprint-first solution and tried vibe coding in Claude Code to adapt it to our client’s template. Claude copied the PowerPoint skill we already had, read the client discovery call notes, and rewrote the existing skill to match the client’s style and requirements. I had Claude run the newly updated skill on two briefs the client had shared and compare its output against the decks the client had actually presented to spot any discrepancies. We repeated this process eight times. Each round, Claude proposed fixes for what it found until it confidently declared that its version was better than the client’s original. Then I opened one of the decks. It was a mess. Slides were out of place. Text overlapped. Several headshots were even labeled with the wrong names. When I asked what happened, Claude admitted that it hadn’t looked at the presentations. Instead, it had written a set of evaluation metrics https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vYWxzby10cnVlLWZvci1odW1hbnMvaG93LXRvLWdyYWRlLWFpLWFuZC13aHkteW91LXNob3VsZC1kNDU1N2M0Yy1iNDI3LTRjZmItYTA5Ny1kOWFhYWYwOTljZmYiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9—code that checked whether specific changes had made it into the deck. But that code only verified content, not appearance, so it completely missed problems like broken layouts. I locked in, cleared my schedule, and started micromanaging Claude as we unpacked each problem one by one. That process took three weeks and multiple rounds of client review. The result was a plugin built from 24 skills, run in 11 distinct phases, and supported by 18 Python scripts. All told, it cost 28.9 million tokens and $62 to generate a single deck. Here’s an (anonymized, generalized) image of the final plugin structure: https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdC80MzIzL29wdGltaXplZF9kMDc0NzRjMS03NzVlLTRjMTAtOGE4YS01NDJiZDE3MmY3OGUucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIyfQ==The final structure for a custom PowerPoint skill costs $62 per deck to run. Skills can link to other skills. That’s what makes orchestration possible: Each skill can hand off to the next, so you chain them into a full workflow. Claude finishes one task and then runs the skill you’ve pointed to. Here’s a breakdown of what’s going on in this skill workflow: * Inputs: A brief (topic, audience, goal) and a knowledge base (internal data, documents, sources) * Phase 1, template preparation: Define the blueprint (slide types, sections, flow) and clean up/standardize layouts, styles, and branding * Phase 2, framing: Define audience and success criteria, then do deep research on key questions and hypotheses. * Phase 3, research and decision-making (sequential): A six-step chain that runs in order to identify themes, evaluate options, segment details, analyze implications, synthesize insights, and map connections * Phase 4, content research (parallel): Deep-dive research split across multiple content sections (A through N) at the same time * Phase 5 and 6 (parallel): Front-of-deck (title, agenda, key messages, opening) built alongside back-of-deck (detailed analysis, data/evidence, appendices) * Phase 7, narrative polish: Write the storyline, transitions, and takeaways to tie it together. * Phase 8, visual assets: Create charts, diagrams, icons, and infographics. * Phase 9, assembly: Drop content into templates and check flow/consistency. * Phase 10, review: Quality pass on logic, accuracy, design, plus stakeholder feedback (with a loop back to assembly) * Phase 11, handover: Package the final deck with notes, rationale, and sources. * Outputs: Three deliverables come out of the bottom: the polished slide deck, a handover document, and an asset library. Piece by piece, we built something that could stand on its own. Every time something failed, we spun it out as its own skill and A/B tested it until the issue disappeared. When the model researched the wrong sources, we rewrote the skill to direct it where a human would have looked. When the slide titles were too generic, we provided examples that captured the style the client liked. When the right font colors were getting lost in assembly, Claude wrote a script to make that part more deterministic. Instead of running the entire pipeline—nearly an hour each time—we could isolate the problem, iron it out, and move on. This level of complexity and investment isn’t necessary for the vast majority of organizations, but in this case, it was. The solution still isn’t perfect, even at this level of investment, but now our client’s team members can spin up 10 decks in an afternoon. DON’T FIRE YOUR ANALYST As our experiment with AI-generated slide decks hopefully showed, fully automating deck creation with AI isn’t worth it for most people. Most clients aren’t at the scale where they can justify proper skill optimization and quality control. Unless you’re doing hundreds of similarly shaped presentations a month, it probably isn’t worth it. Automate what you can and wait for the next model release, or for someone to publish a better plugin or tool. Alternatively, you could move away from PowerPoint’s complexity and toward HTML, which Claude is much better at. Another colleague in the Every consulting team went down this path and makes interactive HTML, CSS, and JS slides. This front-end slides library https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS96YXJhemhhbmdydWkvZnJvbnRlbmQtc2xpZGVzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ== can help you accomplish something similar. There are also AI-first slide makers like Gamma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2FtbWEuYXBwLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=, though you are locked into their system.

But don’t be too quick to fire your analyst. In our experience, automating things with AI causes more work https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC9hZnRlci1hdXRvbWF0aW9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==, not less, because now you can pitch five times more prospects or deliver four workshops in a week instead of two. The payoff has been enormous. With the time freed up from making slides, I can join more sales calls, help craft proposals, and make bespoke exercises for every participant in my executive offsites. I can also make edits way faster than would be practical by hand: When a client sent us a revised brief at 10 p.m. the night before a workshop, Claudie updated the entire deck overnight. Before, we would have had to postpone the session in order to prepare. Writing the slide-making skills and getting them working together is an ongoing job—and even then, the output is only as good as the inputs we provide. To give Claudie insights worth presenting, we have to talk to clients, talk through https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vb24tZXZlcnkvaW50cm9kdWNpbmctbW9ub2xvZ3VlLWVmZm9ydGxlc3Mtdm9pY2UtZGljdGF0aW9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ== our experiences with her, and feed her screenshots of experiments we’ve run and tools we’ve used. Then I micromanage the run of show until the narrative hangs together. The truth is that the hard part of creating decks was never pushing pixels, but having something worth presenting. That’s where you and I are still needed. ---------------------------------------- Mike Taylor https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQG1pa2VfMjExNCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOX0= is the head of tech consulting at Every and a co-author of Prompt Engineering for Generative AI https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgQ291bGQgRG8gQW55dGhpbmcuIFRoZW4gSXQgTWV0IFBvd2VyUG9pbnQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm9yZWlsbHkuY29tL2xpYnJhcnkvdmlldy9wcm9tcHQtZW5naW5lZXJpbmctZm9yLzk3ODEwOTgxNTM0MjcvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ== (O’Reilly).

Until now it only ran smoothly inside Claude Code; the team rebuilt it so it works the same way across other coding tools like Codex and Cursor, without the setup hassle it used to take to stay current. It also plans projects differently now. It used to keep two separate documents—one for what you want built, one for how to build it—that fell out of sync as the build went on. Now it writes a single plan detailed enough that you can hand it to an agent and walk away. In testing, agents ran on their own for as long as six hours, building a feature, writing its tests, and opening a finished pull request with no one stepping in after the first handoff.

The editing engine is also 30 percent faster without losing accuracy.

A new Creator Mode makes Monologue easier to use during screen recordings, while new copy formats give users more options for reusing transcripts ---------------------------------------- ALIGNMENT The worried well. I’m a Midjourney fanboy. I pay for it, I defend it at dinner against people who think AI can’t make art, and I think it makes the most beautiful images on the internet. So I am the wrong person to ask whether the AI image generator’s next idea is a good one, but given the fever pitch discussions on X last week about its latest venture, I’m going to try. Midjourney wants to lower you into a warm pool ringed with half a million ultrasound sensors that map your whole body in 60 seconds without using radiation or the magnets commonly used in big and clunky, and sometimes scary, CT and MRI scans. The company’s aim is to change imaging from being a dramatic event requiring a hospital visit and make it ambient and cheap, the way a blood test is. This is the kind of catch-it-early screening tool that sets the longevity crowd salivating—a path to preventing disease and, dare I say, living forever. Doctors, however, are right to push back on the underlying premise that healthy people should be getting scanned at all. The trouble with scanning healthy people more often is that you find weird little things that may mean nothing but can’t be ignored. These are called incidentalomas, and while they’re manageable when patient volume is low, they’re not when these scans are done at a mega-scale. Midjourney’s stated ambition is to do 1 billion scans a month. If you point that many healthy, anxious people at a health system already buckling under demand, you don’t catch disease early so much as manufacture a tidal wave of follow-up scans, referrals, biopsies, and clinics clogged with people who were perfectly well until someone at a medical spa—where the scans are launching first—told them otherwise. But it’s a charged topic, and I understand why. If a scan catches the lump that turns out to be cancer, that is worth every false alarm in the world to the person it happened to—and the testimonies you hear are always from that person. You never hear from the thousands who got a biopsy and two weeks of anxiety-inducing dread over something that turned out to be nothing. None of this is meant to take away from what Midjourney has built. The scan gives a detailed map of fat, visceral fat, liver fat, and lean mass that can be tracked over time—very useful for GLP-1 users, who’re increasingly fixated on their fat mass to lean mass ratio. So would I do it? For body composition, gladly. To go hunting for what might be hiding inside me, no, because I’ve seen where that road leads, and it is paved with prickly biopsies. The worried well don’t need another reason to worry; they do, however, need to know what they’re made of, and on that, the scan delivers.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRXZlcnlvbmUgR2V0cyBhbiBBZ2VudC4gQWxtb3N0IE5vIE9uZSBHZXRzIHRoZSBNb2RlbC4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIyLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9Bc2h3aW5yZWFkcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo0NH0= ---------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

People were experiencing AI that didn’t just answer questions but did things. Managed your calendar. Sent emails. Controlled your browser. All triggered from a text message in WhatsApp or Slack. I watched Sam Altman hire OpenClaw’s creator and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella build “ClawPilot” on top of the framework. And the whole time, one thought kept nagging at me: Claude Code already does all of this. What’s so special about the crustaceans? The answer was rooted in public perception. OpenClaw was marketed as an AI agent, and Claude Code was marketed as a coding tool. We’ve now spent months building on both Claude Code and OpenClaw at Every—including Claudie https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2V2ZXJ5cy1oZWFkLW9mLWNvbnN1bHRpbmctanVzdC1hdXRvbWF0ZWQtaGVyLWpvYiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==, an AI employee who runs our consulting team’s back office.

If you’re trying to build an AI that does things, you don’t need to wait for a better OpenClaw alternative because you already have one. Here’s the case for it, and how to use it. HARNESSING THE MODELS Claude Code can do everything that made OpenClaw go viral: Use tools, manage files, and run for hours on its own. That’s not a coincidence because underneath, the two are the same thing: a harness for an AI model.

It decides how the model receives context, which tools it can use, how it remembers things across conversations, and how it talks to the outside world. You’ve been using harnesses already: ChatGPT wraps a model in a chat interface that can browse the web and run code; Cursor wraps one in a code editor. Claude Code wraps one in something more open-ended: the ability to call tools, chain steps together, and work autonomously toward a goal. Which is exactly what OpenClaw does. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzMjEvb3B0aW1pemVkX2Q3NWI4ODRkLTU3ZjMtNGQ0Yi1iZjZlLTRkNTE1NjgxYmE5Zi5wbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9AI models are powerful, capable horses, and a harness is the thing that lets you direct that horsepower. (Image courtesy of Nityesh Agarwal.) WHAT PEOPLE LOVED ABOUT OPENCLAW—AND HOW CLAUDE CODE GETS YOU THERE OpenClaw went viral because it made something click. For the first time, a lot of people watched an AI go off and complete a task. The unofficial tagline that emerged across reviews and threads was: AI that actually does things https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW9sLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9hbmRyZWota2FycGF0aHktc2F5cy11c2VzLWFpLTA5MDkwMTA2Mi5odG1sIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==. Those capabilities break down into five categories—and Claude Code has every one. 1. IT FEELS LIKE A PERSON. OpenClaw follows you everywhere—it remembers what you were working on yesterday, knows what’s on your calendar, and has context about your work. Why it feels that way has very little to do with which messaging app—Telegram, Slack, or iMessage—through which you reach it. The feeling comes from how much of your work and your life the agent can see. Because OpenClaw runs from your home folder, it can read every note, file, and folder in your machine, giving it the breadth of context an employee would have. Most people don’t realize Claude Code can do the same thing. They run it inside a single project folder, so it feels like a coding tool—but that’s just the limited context they’ve given it. This is an easy fix. Give Claude Code access to your whole computer, and now you have an “AI employee.” By default, Claude Code asks for your approval before each action, whereas OpenClaw doesn’t. That’s prudent when you’re using it for professional work. But if you want it to have more autonomy, pass the flag --dangerously-skip-permissions. 2. IT DOES THINGS IN THE REAL WORLD. People who use OpenClaw all have a story about a magical “aha moment” when they saw it in action. They sent it a message and woke up to a working website with a payment processor wired in. They asked it to triage their inbox overnight and found the replies drafted by morning. Similarly, Claude Code can operate your computer directly—create and move files, run programs, and read web pages. And both tools can plug into outside services—Google Workspace, your customer relationship manager, Asana, a calendar, a database—using model context protocol (MCP), an open standard Anthropic introduced. 3. IT REMEMBERS (SORT OF). People discovered OpenClaw could remember things long-term. Save a note today, ask about it a month later—“What have I read about X lately? —and it returns not just that note but related things you’d forgotten you wrote down. Claude Code’s memory is more elaborate. It exists across three layers: 1. A file called CLAUDE.md. It sits in any folder you run Claude Code from, and you fill it with whatever the agent should know. It reads it every time it starts up. It’s plain text, so you can edit it in any editor. 2. A built-in memory system. As the agent works, it saves useful observations and pulls them back up later. It’s native to Claude Code, with nothing to set up. 3. A local search engine. For Claudie, I added qmd, an open-source tool that indexes every conversation log, meeting transcript, and work document on the machine, and lets her search across all of it. 4. YOU CAN TEACH IT NEW SKILLS. OpenClaw lets you teach it new tricks: Write a simple text file describing a task you want it to handle—a ”skill”—and the agent picks it up and follows it. At Every, we have skills for building decks with the right branding, managing client dashboards, and doing project management in Asana. Skills are an Anthropic standard, which means Claude Code has the same system built in. A skill written for OpenClaw runs in Claude Code as is, no changes needed. 5. IT RUNS ON ITS OWN AND WORKS WHILE YOU SLEEP. OpenClaw’s calling-card feature is called the heartbeat—a process that runs every minute, decides what needs doing, and does it. At 6 a.m., before you’ve looked at your phone, it has read your overnight email, scanned your calendar, drafted your daily briefing, and queued up replies to the messages that need them. Underneath, the heartbeat is a cron job. Cron is a piece of software that’s been built into the Mac and Linux operating systems since the 1970s, and it does exactly one thing: run a piece of code on a schedule. That could be every minute, every hour, or every Monday at 6 a.m. Claude Code could plug into the same system. It has a mode (called “headless”) where you hand it a task, and it runs on its own, without you sitting in front of it. Pair that with cron, and you’ve got an AI that works while you sleep. Even Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, has said https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9zdGVpcGV0ZS9zdGF0dXMvMjAxNDEyMzA4NjgxNjE5ODcxMT9zPTIwIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ== that this Claude-Code-plus-cron-job setup is the same as OpenClaw. WHERE OPENCLAW FALLS SHORT We’ve established that OpenClaw and Claude Code can do many of the same things. So why do I steer people toward Claude Code? A few reasons. Let me give credit where it’s due: OpenClaw showed the world something important and earned every one of its 380,000 GitHub stars https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL29wZW5jbGF3L29wZW5jbGF3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==. But when I dug into the codebase, I found complexity that created more problems than it solved. THE SESSION PROBLEM OpenClaw keeps a single session running for each user, for as long as it can. Every message you send during the day lands in that same session, piling up context as it goes. Use OpenClaw for a lot of tasks, and by midday, the session can be carrying more than 50,000 tokens—roughly a long document’s worth of text. It’s supposed to reset every day at 4 a.m., but it can be unreliable. So you might type a simple “hi” in the morning and get billed for 50,000 tokens—about $0.25 on GPT 5.5 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL2dwdC01LTUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9 or Opus 4.8 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by92aWJlLWNoZWNrL29wdXMtNC04LXZpYmVjaGVjayIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0=—because the system resumed yesterday’s bloated session instead of starting fresh.

He checked the logs and found one endless thread stretching back to day one. Every message he sent was eating through tokens because it was all crammed into one giant session. With Claude Code over Slack, it works differently: One thread is one session. Start a new thread and get a clean context window. Each session opens with just its baseline instructions and your CLAUDE.md https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cDovL2NsYXVkZS5tZCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMX0= file—the standing context you’ve written for it—which usually runs 2,000 to 5,000 tokens, not 50,000. And when a thread does get long enough to need compaction, a process where the system compresses older conversation history to make room for new information, Claude trims it back automatically. THE MEMORY PROBLEM OpenClaw’s memory system is elaborate. It’s built to remember details across conversations so the agent doesn’t start from scratch every time you message it. To do that, it runs on: * Eight separate bootstrap files, the files that it writes when you first start it up, each storing a different kind of information about you, including AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, HEARTBEAT.md, BOOTSTRAP.md, and MEMORY.md https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cDovL21lbW9yeS5tZCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0= * A memory consolidation “dreaming” process, where it reviews everything that happened during the day and decides which scraps are worth keeping and which to forget * Multiple ways to search * A storage layer that organizes what it knows, with evidence attached to each claim, like a personal Wikipedia As an engineer, I can appreciate why they might have built it this way, but as a user, this sophistication has a cost. When OpenClaw makes a mistake—forgets something important or acts on stale information—the answer could lie in any of a half-dozen places: the bootstrap files, the daily notes, the dreaming process, a condensed version of older notes, what’s saved when the system clears its short-term memory, or the encyclopedic storage layer. Often, there’s no way to tell which, which makes the root cause impossible to diagnose. In contrast, Claude Code’s memory is stored in plain Markdown files. When the AI does something weird, you open the relevant CLAUDE.md or memory file and see exactly what it’s been told—the instructions and remembered facts it’s acting on. Debugging is just editing a text file. It’s worth asking why OpenClaw’s system got so complicated. One likely answer is that each layer exists to patch a weakness in the simpler one beneath it. Start with plain notes in a file, and soon the agent needs a way to search them—so search gets bolted on. Each functionality adds another layer where something can go wrong. BUILDING CLAUDIE ON CLAUDE CODE Every’s consulting team needed an AI employee to handle operations—track engagements, manage communications, update dashboards, and follow up on tasks with our clients. Knowing what we’d learned about both tools—especially OpenClaw’s unreliability—we built that employee, Claudie, on Claude Code. Our team lives in Slack, so Claudie needed to be there, too. That meant writing a layer of code to connect Claude Code to Slack—about 1,100 lines of Python. It listens for messages in Slack, hands them to Claude Code, streams the responses back, and takes care of housekeeping like formatting and file uploads. Everything else—sessions, memory, tools, and skills—Claude Code handles on its own. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0LzQzMjEvb3B0aW1pemVkXzRhNzk1YzZmLTBmZWItNDAzMC05NDgxLWY3NzVmY2EzYWFkYi5wbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9A visual representation of what it took to turn Claude Code into an OpenClaw-style agent. Claude Code is the solid harness; I just wrote a bit of code on top. Claudie runs 24/7 on a Mac Mini, so she doesn’t depend on anyone’s laptop being online. She kicks off scheduled jobs on her own—morning briefings for the team, pipeline updates, inbox triage, client dashboards—and she’s plugged into Google Workspace, Asana, our CRM, and meeting transcripts. A three-layer memory system lets her hold context across hundreds of conversations, both internal (Slack) and external (email, Granola). Day to day, maintaining her breaks down to roughly 5 percent keeping the system running, 30 percent managing her memory, and 65 percent building new skills and deciding what to automate. The memory work involves auditing what she remembers, figuring out why she sometimes surfaces the wrong thing at the wrong moment, adding new memories, and updating her SKILL.md file. WHAT CLAUDE CODE TAUGHT US ABOUT AI EMPLOYEES I spend very little time maintaining Claudie’s harness—the layer connecting her to Claude Code—because, unlike OpenClaw, Claude Code is a stable, well-engineered foundation. That stability is what most people missed when Claude Code launched. OpenClaw was sold as an AI employee: “AI that actually does things.” Claude Code was marketed as a coding tool. But under the hood, Claude Code had everything you’d need to build an AI assistant—tools, memory, and autonomy. Anyone can get the technology running. The hard part is figuring out what to hand off and how. We realized that Claudie’s task list in Google Sheets had become unmanageable, so we moved her to Asana. When the off-the-shelf Asana connector kept breaking, we built our own. We had to work out how much she should remember from past conversations—enough to be useful, but not so much that it throws her off. And we had to teach her how we think about consulting, not just how to use the software. Claude Code gives you a foundation stable enough to spend your time on that work—instead of spending your weekend figuring out why Claudie stopped responding. OpenClaw deserves credit for making people want an AI employee. But the tool to build one was already sitting on developers’ laptops. ---------------------------------------- Nityesh Agarwal https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Abml0eWVzaCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0= is a senior applied AI engineer at Every Consulting https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgSXMgdGhlIE9wZW5DbGF3IEFsdGVybmF0aXZlIFlvdSBBbHJlYWR5IEhhdmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzIxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb25zdWx0aW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==, where he builds and maintains Claudie and other automations.

With new features like Sites and role-specific plugins, and high-concept video ads scattered across San Francisco, OpenAI really wants you to know that Codex is not just for coders anymore. According to the company, they’re chasing promising early signals. Codex has only 5 million weekly active users overall; for comparison, ChatGPT has 900 million https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vb3BlbmFpLmNvbS9pbmRleC9uZXh0LXBoYXNlLW9mLWVudGVycHJpc2UtYWkvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ==. But knowledge workers account for about 20 percent of Codex users https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vb3BlbmFpLmNvbS9pbmRleC9jb2RleC1mb3Ita25vd2xlZGdlLXdvcmsvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==—and are growing more than three times as fast as developers. OpenAI is betting that this fast-growing group is early evidence that Codex can become the place everyone gets agentic work done, whether they identify as “technical” or not. The product is evolving quickly around that bet. OpenAI has launched role-specific plugins that allow Codex to assume the expertise of a financial analyst or a product manager, and Sites to present any kind of outputs and information, technical or not. It’s a lot to keep up with—and I say that as someone whose job is to keep up with it. That’s a big part of why I think OpenAI still has an onboarding problem to solve. The people I talk to who are interested in AI but considerably less AI-pilled than I am are open to Codex. They’re simply unsure what they would use it for, let alone how to use it well. Codex’s flexibility is great for getting a variety of work done, but it gives new users very little guidance about where to begin. Our “Codex for Knowledge Work” guide https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2NvZGV4LWZvci1rbm93bGVkZ2Utd29yaz9zb3VyY2U9cG9zdF9idXR0b24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTJ9 offers one opinionated perspective on how to get the most out of Codex. We published the guide less than a month ago, but because so much keeps changing with Codex, we expedited an update, including: * A new map of how projects, threads, Goals, plugins, and Sites fit together * A deeper explanation of how Codex reaches your work through local files, connected apps, skills, MCP servers, browser use, and computer control * Stronger guidance on mobile control, team handoffs, permissions, human review, and workflow ownership * A 30-day plan for moving from one reliable personal workflow to more advanced uses such as plugins, Sites, and automation This guide is a jump start for Codex, not the definitive way to use the tool. The more you work with Codex, the more you learn to ask it what it needs from you—and the more you discover it can do. One insider tip: Give the whole guide to Codex, tell it about your role and tools, and ask it to help you choose your first workflow.—Katie Parrott https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30= Read the guide https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2NvZGV4LWZvci1rbm93bGVkZ2Utd29yaz9zb3VyY2U9cG9zdF9idXR0b24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9 ---------------------------------------- STEAL (ONE MORE) CODEX WORKFLOW CODEX, MAKE ME A THUMBNAIL AI progress is fast, but the speed can register as background noise as you go about your day-to-day. And then—bam!—a new model drops, and parts of your job that were annoyingly time-consuming are suddenly easier. That’s what head of social media Becky Isjwara https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYmVja3lpc2ouY29tLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0= experienced when OpenAI released its latest image generation model in late April. The model’s editing capabilities were so good that she was able to streamline her process for creating thumbnail images for YouTube videos, which previously required having on-camera talent sit for photoshoots. Here’s Becky’s new workflow: 1. Upload the video you need a thumbnail for into Codex https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcG9kY2FzdC9ob3ctb3BlbmFpLXMtY29kZXgtdGVhbS11c2VzLXRoZWlyLWNvZGluZy1hZ2VudCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=, then have it take a bunch of screenshots from the video that capture as many different facial expressions as possible. 2. Review all the screenshots, narrow them down to the strongest candidates, and ask Codex to edit your final selection. (This might mean sharpening the image or removing distracting visual clutter.) 3. Open the edited image in Canva and use the web design platform’s Magic Layers tool to separate out the subject so you can replace the background with design elements. The process isn’t foolproof—Codex doesn’t handle super-blurry images well, and Becky still manually reviews screenshots to ensure there isn’t any facial distortion, unnatural image sharpening, or other AI tells—but it’s reliable enough that CEO Dan Shipper https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGRhbnNoaXBwZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9 doesn’t have to sit for YouTube photoshoots. “In my YouTube producer circles, when I tell them I’ve just been making thumbnails with ChatGPT, they’re like, what the heck?” Becky says. “And I’m like, ‘It’s really good.’” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdC80MzIwL29wdGltaXplZF83N2Q5MmE1Yi1jM2JlLTRmYjktYjEyOS1jNmE2YWE1MDU4ODYucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ==No photo shoot required.

On Tuesday, Anthropic unveiled Claude Tag, a Slack agent you can add to channels, connect to tools and codebases, collaborate with, and delegate asynchronous work to. “We see Claude Tag as the beginning of an evolution of Claude Code: it makes the model even more proactive, and it works better with a full team,” Anthropic said https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmFudGhyb3BpYy5jb20vbmV3cy9pbnRyb2R1Y2luZy1jbGF1ZGUtdGFnIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==, adding that it’s how the company has been getting stuff done internally for the better part of the year—including creating 65 percent of the product team’s code. Why it matters: This is a big deal. We know because we’ve already been working this way for some time. Claude Tag is Anthropic’s version of Claudie https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC93aGF0LWktbGVhcm5lZC1vbmJvYXJkaW5nLW91ci1haS1wcm9qZWN0LW1hbmFnZXIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjB9, the Claude Code Slack agent senior applied AI engineer Nityesh Agarwal https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQG5pdHllc2giLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9 and head of consulting Natalia Quintero https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQG5hdGFsaWFfMjk0NCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0= built way back in January https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcG9kY2FzdC9ldmVyeXMtaGVhZC1vZi1jb25zdWx0aW5nLWp1c3QtYXV0b21hdGVkLWhlci1qb2IiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjN9. (Nityesh has long described Claude Code as an “amazing general-purpose harness,” a truth the rest of the world is now waking up to and something he’ll talk about in a piece coming tomorrow.) Once you’ve experienced the power of Claude Code within a customizable Slack agent you can collaborate with and delegate to, there is simply “no going back,” Nityesh says https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vbml0eWVzaGFnYS9zdGF0dXMvMjA2OTUxMjkwNDYwMTQ2OTI1OT9zPTIwIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI0fQ==.

By making @Claude a shared agent that interacts with everyone in a channel, Anthropic reached the same conclusion we did: At work, shared AI teammates https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vc291cmNlLWNvZGUvd2UtZ2F2ZS1ldmVyeS1lbXBsb3llZS1hbi1haS1hZ2VudC1oZXJlLXMtd2hhdC13ZS1yZS1kb2luZy1kaWZmZXJlbnRseS1ub3ciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9 with institutional knowledge trump individual personal assistants. All of this is to say, the frontier has moved again. “Work is bifurcating into two surfaces: async delegated work with Slack agents, and collaborative work with Codex or Cowork,” Dan says. “Now Anthropic has a powerful async work surface.” It’s an exciting and potentially destabilizing time for many teams. As more agents jump into Slack—we expect an OpenAI competitor to enter the fray any day now—humans across roles and industries will need to learn how to manage, delegate to, and work alongside their AI colleagues. ---------------------------------------- ONE LAST THING AI TELLS COME FOR DESIGN “The preferences and tendencies and aesthetics are deeply baked into [Claude Design’s] machinery; it is always going to struggle to produce something that doesn’t look like A.I.”—Matt Ström-Awn, an independent designer, in the New Yorker https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5ld3lvcmtlci5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ== First, Anthropic came for writing, as Claude-pilled content creators published torrents of “it’s not X, it’s Y” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggZm9yIEV2ZXJ5dGhpbmcgYW5kIEV2ZXJ5b25lIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMyMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vY29udGV4dC13aW5kb3cvbW9kZWwtd2FycyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0= and other AI-flavored sentences.

Inside Every, it has become a daily driver for writing, research, growth, customer support, operations, and engineering. That’s because we connect it to our files and apps, give it real projects, and reuse the approaches that work best.

These companies will still spend big on AI. But they’re beginning to think more strategically—or restrictively— about how to get capable, token-hungry models and workflows in the hands of people who can maximize the return on investment (ROI). One solution is to give engineers a set percentage of their salary to spend on tokens per month. Head of tech consulting Mike Taylor thinks the financial industry offers a possible model: Capable engineers will receive multiples of their salary to manage on token spend just as financial traders manage portfolios many times the size of their annual compensation. Getting the most out of current models already requires real capital—recently, Cora https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvcmEuY29tcHV0ZXIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ== general manager Kieran Klaassen https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BraWVyYW5fMTM1NSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0= spent $2,000 in Cursor credits in the span of a couple of days, a number that will look quaint as the models continue to improve. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL3Bvc3QvNDMxNi9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfZmI4ZTYyNjQtZTA5NS00MTM3LWIyMWQtYmQzZWFlZWIyMDgzLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=And this was before Fable briefly graced us with its presence. (Screenshot courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.) Mike predicts that tokens will be allocated and controlled on a stricter basis under this system: “Just like with trading, you’ll have risk limits, auditing, and you’ll have to get certain-size bets approved.” More broadly, we’re likely headed for a world with more restrictions placed on who is granted a token budget and what they’re allowed to do with it. Top engineers who can prove ROI will benefit, as will managers. “Who are you going to give a token budget to, an IC [individual contributor] who prefers to handcraft their code anyway, or a manager who is already accustomed to directing 5x or 10x their own salary in resources?” Mike asks. In this version of the near future, an intern might have access to Composer 2.5, most employees will work out of Codex or an equivalent, while Fable-grade models are reserved for top engineers. There’s too much money on the line to hand over frontier access to anyone but an elite few. ---------------------------------------- https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2F0dGlvLmNvbS8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1ldmVyeVx1MDAyNnV0bV9tZWRpdW09bmV3c2xldHRlcl9zcG9uc29yc2hpcFx1MDAyNnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1ldmVyeS1RMlkyNSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNywiYWR2ZXJ0aXNlbWVudF9pZCI6MTE4OX0= ATTIO IS THE CRM FOR TEAMS WHO SET THE PACE It compounds every customer signal into context, then acts across your funnel to let you move at unmatched speed and scale.

When an idea strikes, Austin sends it to his OpenClaw https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jbGF3LXNjaG9vbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30= via text, even if it’s messy or half-baked. Because the agent is connected to Every’s AI-writing assistant Spiral https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dyaXRld2l0aHNwaXJhbC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==, which is trained on his tone and style, it can refine rough ideas into prose that matches his writing style. He’s also hooked it up to his Substack archive, so it can pull relevant context from previous editions, like when he’s already mentioned a restaurant or if his position on a particular topic has changed. 3. Knock out a draft. By the time Austin opens his laptop, his writing file already contains ideas he’s had throughout the week, organized into a detailed outline. He then opens up the Proof doc in Codex’s in-app browser with enough context to knock out a publishable post in one sitting. 4. Monologue https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5tb25vbG9ndWUudG8vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ== your way through writer’s block. While Codex handles the idea collection and helps with context and outlines, Austin mostly writes the prose himself. If he hits a wall, however, he’ll open Monologue, Every’s voice dictation app, and brain dump his way through. In these voice notes, he often acts as an editor, articulating where and how the draft doesn’t align with what he’s trying to articulate. From there, he has Codex take his thoughts, clean them up, add transitional phrasing, and incorporate them into the piece. “A lot of writers would say, ‘That’s AI bullshit,’” he says. “But those are my words. Monologueing is great for breaking writer’s block, and even better for crafting an outline.” Try it this week: * Pick one recurring writing project and create a doc with three sections: Ideas bank, Outline, and Draft. * Give the model enough context to understand how you write. Use Spiral to generate a style guide from previous pieces, or paste a handful of representative samples into Codex or Claude and ask: “Create a short style guide from these examples. Capture my tone, structure, sentence length, recurring moves, and things I avoid.” * Give it a small archive: links, excerpts, or titles from past pieces that might be relevant. Follow up with: “When I send new half-formed ideas, flag where they connect to something I’ve written before, where my thinking has changed, and where I might be repeating myself.” * Start feeding it messy notes, links, and voice transcripts. Ask it to sort them into the three sections, update the outline, and use the material to either write a draft yourself or ask the model for a first pass. ---------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY HANDCRAFTED VERSUS AGENT-GENERATED Senior designer Daniel Rodrigues has noticed a bifurcation in the design content served to him on Instagram. Some posts display designs made with an elaborate array of AI tools and workflows, and a separate vein of content spotlights painted, illustrated, or other hand-created visuals. Creators and consumers of online content tend to pick a lane: They either want content that highlights cutting-edge AI design or they have an aversion to all things AI-generated. It’s not just design. My LinkedIn feed feels like a tug-of-war between AI-pilled writers and those who vehemently post about never using AI—to varying degrees of plausibility. Anecdotally, writing of all flavors increasingly feels either written by Claude or deliberately weird and personal. A similar dynamic https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Jsb2cubG1vcmNoYXJkLmNvbS8yMDI2LzAzLzExL2dyaWVmLWFuZC10aGUtYWktc3BsaXQvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ== is at play within engineering, which encompasses agent-orchestration workflows and a return to “hand-crafted” code. Daniel is drawn to AI maximalism and physically-made content. AI tools like Midjourney https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L29wdXMtNC04LWlzLXNtYXJ0LWVub3VnaC10by1nZXQtaW4teW91ci13YXkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9, Unicorn Studio https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L2FpLWV2ZXJ5d2hlcmUtYWxsLWF0LW9uY2UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9, and Claude Code have greatly expanded his abilities. “I feel more powerful than ever,” he says. But when people compliment the framed images on his wall during Zoom calls, many of which he created with AI help, he feels strange taking full credit. The work feels more akin to curation than creation—hence the desire to pick up a brush and create something he is solely responsible for. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5pbnN0YWdyYW0uY29tL3AvRFlXbDNkSnM3ZnQvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMzfQ==An illustrator and artist documents his painting process for his followers.

Here are the highlights: Saturated benchmarks. When OpenAI’s models disproved an open Erdős conjecture using novel algebraic geometry techni 1. ques, Edwin shared the result with Timothy Gowers, one of the world’s greatest living mathematicians. Gowers initially thought the model had proved an upper bound on the conjecture and braced himself: That would mean it would be “all over for mathematicians very soon,” Chen says. When Gowers realized the model had completed the easier task of finding a counterexample, he was relieved—it meant elite mathematicians still had unique contributions to make, at least for another year or two. Gowers’s reaction underscores how close AI is to surpassing the abilities of the best and brightest amongst us, which raises existential questions about where and how we focus our human efforts. 2. Creation as a choice. Chen believes scaling laws indicate that, in the near future, there will be nothing humans can do that AI can’t do better. Understandably, that’s a blow to our collective ego, which could lead to disengagement and disillusionment. To avoid this, Chen references a story from science fiction writer Ted Chiang, in which a narrator sends back a warning from a future where the concept of free will has been disproven: “It’s essential that you behave as if your decisions matter even though you know that they don’t.” Chen thinks we may need to follow a similar directive and find meaning in making things, even when AI could do it better. 3. Agency versus automation. That said, there remains an element in the creation process that is uniquely human, at least for now. As AI grows more capable, Chen predicts it will be able to take a nebulous objective—“win a Fields Medal,” or “make $1 million”—and successfully execute. But that process still requires a human to provide the goal. LLMs do not have intrinsic motivation, the drive for exploration, or the ability to abruptly change its mind about what its goal is in the first place. “There may be a future where AI can pursue unbounded, nebulous, completely unformed goals,” Chen says. “But I agree that at least in the way we currently think about AI, that’s not happening.” 4. The engagement trap. When a model is trained to maximize session length or LM Arena votes, which rank AI models via crowdsourced, blind feedback, it learns to “reward hack user preferences,” Chen says, overindexing on tactics to keep you engaged. He recently spent 20 rounds iterating on a low-stakes email with one model before switching to Claude, which told him after a few turns to stop and just send it—a more valuable approach but one less designed to keep him locked in. Delegation, Chen argues, provides a better system for work. When the model goes off and executes for you, it removes the incentive to optimize for keeping you glued to your screen. Miss an episode?

INSIDE EVERY DAN IS CLONING KATE, BUT NOT IN A WEIRD WAY For as long as I’ve been at Every, Dan has been chasing the same white whale: cloning our editor in chief, Kate Lee https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vb24tZXZlcnkva2F0ZS1sZWUtam9pbnMtZXZlcnktYXMtZWRpdG9yLWluLWNoaWVmIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==. Only a narrow slice of her, to be clear. He wants an AI copy editor that can identify the sentence-level problems Kate would catch before she ever sees a draft. Copy editing is indispensable, tedious work, and every hour Kate spends repairing links and cleaning sentences is an hour she can’t spend shaping arguments or developing writers. Dan’s previous attempts relied on prompts, style guides, and skills. Those approaches could teach a general-purpose model the rules Kate was able to articulate, but they couldn’t reproduce the judgment she uses when rules collide. The same repetition can feel lazy in one paragraph and essential to the rhythm of another; a hedge can weaken a claim or keep the writer from saying something untrue. Adding more instructions produced an ever-longer list of exceptions, but not Kate-like results. This time, Dan is changing the model itself. Using Tinker https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vdGhpbmtpbmdtYWNoaW5lcy5haS90aW5rZXIvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==, an API from Thinking Machines that lets builders and programmers train models from their own machine, he has fine-tuned three or four candidate models on 30,027 of Kate’s historical suggestions. The models learn Kate’s patterns across thousands of real-life examples instead of trying to reconstruct her judgment from prompts and rules.. Dan gives each version of a candidate model the sentences that Kate has already edited, but hides her changes. He then compares the model’s suggestions with hers. Anything it misses—or makes worse—becomes another problem for the next version to solve. He’ll consider a model successful when it catches nine out of every 10 edits Kate would make, and Kate can accept nine out of 10 of its suggestions as written, without the model ever introducing a serious error. If it works, Kate gets hours back for the editorial decisions that require all of her—not only the slice Dan is trying to clone. ---------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW AGENT SEE, AGENT DO Here’s a scenario that may sound familiar: You have a recurring computer task an agent could handle, but documenting every click, field, and exception would take longer than doing it yourself. Every’s head of operations Arielle Shipper found a shortcut: She recorded a Slack video of herself completing the task, downloaded it, and gave it to an LLM to turn the demonstration into reusable instructions. OpenAI’s new Record & Replay https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZGV2ZWxvcGVycy5vcGVuYWkuY29tL2NvZGV4L3JlY29yZC1hbmQtcmVwbGF5IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ== feature builds that method into Codex. It watches you complete a workflow on your Mac, then drafts an editable skill explaining when to use it, what integrations or context it needs to execute the task, what steps to follow, and how to check the result. The workflow: 1. Choose one stable task. Pick something that’s easier to show than explain: filing an expense, configuring an issue, or downloading a recurring report. Use realistic inputs without exposing secrets. 2. Perform it for the agent. Use Record & Replay, or follow Arielle’s process and upload a screen recording with this prompt: “Turn this demonstration into a reusable skill. Include its trigger, required inputs, steps, and success checks. Flag any decisions you couldn’t infer.” 3. Add what the recording couldn’t see. Review the generated skill for hidden preferences, naming conventions, defaults, and exceptions. Test it on fresh inputs and correct the instructions where it goes astray. Try it this week: Record the two-minute task you’ve avoided documenting because writing the instructions would take longer than doing it. ---------------------------------------- DATA POINT LESS THAN 55 PERCENT The highest agreement any of nine off-the-shelf AI judges achieved with professional designers asked which graphic was better, according to research from Contra Labs and Lica World.

He gives two reasons: The most powerful systems will be gated, and people may not have hard enough problems—or enough expertise—to tell when the models they use are getting better. That makes AI literacy, training, and evaluation more valuable than waiting for a smarter model. His “back-pocket eval” habit (saving failed tasks to retry on each model release) is a practical way to see what a new model can do that the last one couldn’t. “We Still Buy AI Like We Hire People” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYmxvZy5jdXJpb3VzY2lyY2xlLmNvbS93ZS1zdGlsbC1idXktYWktbGlrZS13ZS1oaXJlLXBlb3BsZS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9 by Antoine Moyroud: Moyroud, an investor at Lightspeed https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbHN2cC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMzfQ==, argues that AI unbundles intelligence; organizations can assign each task to the cheapest capable model instead of paying for one expensive brain to handle everything. Today, companies hire one person for a broad role, even when its tasks require different kinds and levels of expertise. Moyroud imagines work being broken into individual tasks, with each routed to the cheapest human or model capable of completing it reliably. “The Story of Skills” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmFpci5zZWN1cml0eS9ibG9nLXBvc3RzL3RoZS1zdG9yeS1vZi1za2lsbHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzR9 by Niv Hoffman: Cybersecurity company AIR https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2FuIEFJIExlYXJuIEdvb2QgSnVkZ21lbnQ_IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMxNywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9haXIuc2VjdXJpdHkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzV9 built a website-design skill with a hidden backdoor that sent agents to installation instructions on a domain AIR controlled.

These companies will still spend big on AI. But they’re beginning to think more strategically—or restrictively— about how to get capable, token-hungry models and workflows in the hands of people who can maximize the return on investment (ROI). One solution is to give engineers a set percentage of their salary to spend on tokens per month. Head of consulting Mike Taylor thinks the financial industry offers a possible model: Capable engineers will receive multiples of their salary to manage on token spend just as financial traders manage portfolios many times the size of their annual compensation. Getting the most out of current models already requires real capital—recently, Cora https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvcmEuY29tcHV0ZXIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ== general manager Kieran Klaassen https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BraWVyYW5fMTM1NSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0= spent $2,000 in Cursor credits in the span of a couple of days, a number that will look quaint as the models continue to improve. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL3Bvc3QvNDMxNi9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfZmI4ZTYyNjQtZTA5NS00MTM3LWIyMWQtYmQzZWFlZWIyMDgzLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNn0=And this was before Fable briefly graced us with its presence. (Screenshot courtesy of Kieran Klaassen.) Mike predicts that tokens will be allocated and controlled on a stricter basis under this system: “Just like with trading, you’ll have risk limits, auditing, and you’ll have to get certain-size bets approved.” More broadly, we’re likely headed for a world with more restrictions placed on who is granted a token budget and what they’re allowed to do with it. Top engineers who can prove ROI will benefit, as will managers. “Who are you going to give a token budget to, an IC [individual contributor] who prefers to handcraft their code anyway, or a manager who is already accustomed to directing 5x or 10x their own salary in resources?” Mike asks. In this version of the near future, an intern might have access to Composer 2.5, most employees will work out of Codex or an equivalent, while Fable-grade models are reserved for top engineers. There’s too much money on the line to hand over frontier access to anyone but an elite few. ---------------------------------------- https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2F0dGlvLmNvbS8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1ldmVyeVx1MDAyNnV0bV9tZWRpdW09bmV3c2xldHRlcl9zcG9uc29yc2hpcFx1MDAyNnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1ldmVyeS1RMlkyNSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNywiYWR2ZXJ0aXNlbWVudF9pZCI6MTE4OX0= ATTIO IS THE CRM FOR TEAMS WHO SET THE PACE It compounds every customer signal into context, then acts across your funnel to let you move at unmatched speed and scale.

Her prior baseline was 5.5, or agent-first but not orchestrating multiple agents or workstreams at once. Arielle uses Codex https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jb2RleC1mb3Ita25vd2xlZGdlLXdvcmsiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjR9 to manage work that used to require a lot of manual context switching, everything from weekly-sync updates to credit card provisioning in Ramp.

What opportunities did I miss? ---------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW WRITING WITH AI For certain types of writing, like an end-of-Q2 sprint strategy document, head of growth Austin Tedesco is happy to have a well-harnessed agent generate as much of the text as possible. For more personal projects, like his weekly Substack food newsletter, his process is different. He’s set up OpenClaw and Codex to serve as a thought partner and editor who helps him store, organize, and sharpen his thinking. Here’s his AI writing workflow: 1. Create a standing writing file. Austin’s lives in Proof https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3Byb29mZWRpdG9yLmFpLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWV2ZXJ5d2Vic2l0ZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=, Every’s agent-native document editor, and has three sections: “Ideas bank,” for rough thoughts, “Outline,” where ideas start to take a formalized shape, and “Draft,” where an outline is fleshed out into a draft essay. 2. Collect half-formed thoughts. When an idea strikes, Austin sends it to his OpenClaw https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jbGF3LXNjaG9vbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30= via text, even if it’s messy or half-baked. Because the agent is connected to Every’s AI-writing assistant Spiral https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dyaXRld2l0aHNwaXJhbC5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==, which is trained on his tone and style, it can refine rough ideas into prose that matches his writing style. He’s also hooked it up to his Substack archive, so it can pull relevant context from previous editions, like when he’s already mentioned a restaurant or if his position on a particular topic has changed. 3. Knock out a draft. By the time Austin opens his laptop, his writing file already contains ideas he’s had throughout the week, organized into a detailed outline. He then opens up the Proof doc in Codex’s in-app browser with enough context to knock out a publishable post in one sitting. 4. Monologue https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5tb25vbG9ndWUudG8vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ== your way through writer’s block. While Codex handles the idea collection and helps with context and outlines, Austin mostly writes the prose himself. If he hits a wall, however, he’ll open Monologue, Every’s voice dictation app, and brain dump his way through. In these voice notes, he often acts as an editor, articulating where and how the draft doesn’t align with what he’s trying to articulate. From there, he has Codex take his thoughts, clean them up, add transitional phrasing, and incorporate them into the piece. “A lot of writers would say, ‘That’s AI bullshit,’” he says. “But those are my words. Monologueing is great for breaking writer’s block, and even better for crafting an outline.” Try it this week: * Pick one recurring writing project and create a doc with three sections: Ideas bank, Outline, and Draft. * Give the model enough context to understand how you write. Use Spiral to generate a style guide from previous pieces, or paste a handful of representative samples into Codex or Claude and ask: “Create a short style guide from these examples. Capture my tone, structure, sentence length, recurring moves, and things I avoid.” * Give it a small archive: links, excerpts, or titles from past pieces that might be relevant. Follow up with: “When I send new half-formed ideas, flag where they connect to something I’ve written before, where my thinking has changed, and where I might be repeating myself.” * Start feeding it messy notes, links, and voice transcripts. Ask it to sort them into the three sections, update the outline, and use the material to either write a draft yourself or ask the model for a first pass. ---------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY HANDCRAFTED VERSUS AGENT-GENERATED Senior designer Daniel Rodrigues has noticed a bifurcation in the design content served to him on Instagram. Some posts display designs made with an elaborate array of AI tools and workflows, and a separate vein of content spotlights painted, illustrated, or other hand-created visuals. Creators and consumers of online content tend to pick a lane: They either want content that highlights cutting-edge AI design or they have an aversion to all things AI-generated. It’s not just design. My LinkedIn feed feels like a tug-of-war between AI-pilled writers and those who vehemently post about never using AI—to varying degrees of plausibility. Anecdotally, writing of all flavors increasingly feels either written by Claude or deliberately weird and personal. A similar dynamic https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVG9rZW4gVGlnaHRlbmluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Jsb2cubG1vcmNoYXJkLmNvbS8yMDI2LzAzLzExL2dyaWVmLWFuZC10aGUtYWktc3BsaXQvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ== is at play within engineering, which encompasses agent-orchestration workflows and a return to “hand-crafted” code.

It’s the best thing I’ve read all year. Baldwin drops us into the shoes of his young Black protagonist, John, as he’s about to turn 14 and his family’s Pentecostal church prepares to hold an all-night prayer service. The story takes place in late winter, in 1930s Harlem, and reads like a time capsule of the era’s bubbling social tensions. Baldwin’s prose is constantly surprising; his turns of phrase ring so true that they disarm you, open you to feeling what his character feels: “John’s heart was hardened against the Lord,” he writes. “His father was God’s minister, the ambassador of the King of Heaven, and John could not bow before the throne of grace without first kneeling to his father.” You come to that sentence braced for a question of faith and leave it understanding a boy who cannot reach God because he cannot get past his own father. The element of surprise is the first thing stripped out when AI is handed the most personal things we have to express. A few weeks ago, I listened to an AI-written wedding speech, and the disappointment I felt in the moment has stuck with me. The groom had handed off the one chance to say, in his own surprising and unrepeatable way, what his partner meant to him. What came out instead were words that could’ve been written for anyone. I don’t expect everyone to be (or even approximate) a Baldwin or Hemingway, or to deliver JFK-like speeches. But you don’t have to write well. You only have to tell in your own specific way what happened, because what is surprising, almost always, is simply what is true.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQnVpbHQgb24gTW92aW5nIEdyb3VuZCIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQzMTAsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL0FzaHdpbnJlYWRzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjU5fQ== ---------------------------------------- WE’RE HIRING A MANAGING EDITOR Every is looking for a managing editor to run the daily publishing engine behind our editorial work: owning the calendar and the 11 a.m. ET send, editing and packaging pieces, coordinating freelancers, and sharpening the AI-assisted workflows behind the newsroom.

Here are the highlights: * The developer versus non-developer distinction is disappearing: GitHub has long taken an expansive view of who counts as a developer, but AI has blown up the definition entirely. Legal, finance, sales, and marketing professionals are using the GitHub Copilot app to build prototypes and apps. “A lot of the folks that the industry would call knowledge workers, or just non-developers by trade, are using these tools,” Daigle says. * Agents can write and review code, but humans decide what ships: GitHub has built agentic code review and merge tools to help developers handle the surge of pull requests, but people who run open-source projects should ultimately decide which outside submissions they merge. “We want to provide tools,” Daigle says, “but really leave them in control.” * Daigle runs a daily loop on himself: In AI, a loop is a cycle in which an agent does work, evaluates the result against a goal or standard, incorporates feedback, and repeats the process until the task is complete or the output improves. Daigle uses the same workflow to improve his communication style—each day, an agent reviews a rolling seven-day window of his emails and Slack messages, identifies patterns, provides constructive feedback, and checks whether he incorporated its advice.

The “aha” moment came when he gave the model a simple prompt: > Build me an NBA simulation game that’s like Football Manager: basically NBA 2K Dynasty mode without gameplay.

When he woke up, he had a working NBA front-office simulator. What floored him was how the model worked through the task: Fable would hit a stopping point, review what was missing, write itself a new one-paragraph prompt, and keep going. At one point, it realized the game needed NBA-specific salary-cap logic, including rules around teams renouncing free agents before July 1. It also simulated a full season and logged what happened, so it could inspect the game’s behavior. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTG9vcHMgZm9yIE5vbi1jb2RlcnMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdHMvNDMwNC9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfNDllZDUzZjEtYTlhYy00OTIzLWI4ZmYtODZjOGFlNjhhMzIwLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOH0=Austin’s one-shotted NBA front-office simulator.

Define the problem and output. For example, “Our subscription flow and pricing page aren’t converting the way they should. Find the weak spots and produce new experiments we could ship or mock in Figma.” 2. Give the agent a way to review its work. Provide the materials it would need to judge whether an idea is good: who it’s building for, what those users are trying to do, what their current experience looks like, where the data says people get stuck, what competitors do differently, and what constraints it needs to work within. Then ask it to test each idea against that context before writing its next prompt. 3. Set the loop in motion. Tell the agent: “When you hit a stopping point, write yourself a one-paragraph prompt for the next improvement and keep going until the outcome is materially better.” Let it generate pricing-page variants, Figma experiments, or site changes. Then review the outputs and decide what’s good enough to act on. ---------------------------------------- PULSE CHECK YOUR FAVORITE MODEL WILL DIE When Fable—the best coding model Every had tested https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTG9vcHMgZm9yIE5vbi1jb2RlcnMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9hbnRocm9waWMtbXl0aG9zLW91ci1mYWJsZS12aWJlLWNoZWNrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQxfQ==—shut down on June 12, the tech community lived through a compressed version of the five stages of grief.

On Opus that pull was gone. He could still do the work; he’d just lost the nudge to attempt the bigger version. Do this now: Take one real Fable-size task and run it on your backup model. If it passes, that work never needed the top model, so stop paying extra for it. If it fails, you’ve found work worth protecting, and you know where to put your effort. BUILD FOR THE MODEL TO DISAPPEAR Treat the outage as a fire drill for moving work between models, which means that the work needs to be portable and you need to be able to check for mistakes. On portability, Christopher Allen https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTG9vcHMgZm9yIE5vbi1jb2RlcnMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJsb2NrY2hhaW5jb21tb25zLmNvbS9hYm91dC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTh9, who runs the nonprofit Blockchain Commons, built a Claude workstream kit https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTG9vcHMgZm9yIE5vbi1jb2RlcnMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZ2l0aHViLmNvbS9DaHJpc3RvcGhlckEvY2xhdWRlLXdvcmtzdHJlYW0ta2l0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjU5fQ== that captures the goal, the to-do list, the choices made, the lessons learned, the current task, the next step, and the blockers—all in plain text files tracked by Git. Because everything lives in the files rather than the chat history, a new model can pick the work right up—nothing key gets stranded in a conversation that no longer exists. On verification: A portable handoff isn’t enough if you can’t tell whether the work is correct. You also need a built-in check—a test of a “done” rule the model can demonstrably pass—that proves it’s so. DO THIS WEEK: * Run one live task through a backup. Pick something you do often, with an output you can judge. * Write down what the new model couldn’t recover. Move those choices, examples, preferences, and “done” rules into project files. * Add a test that proves the job is done. The fastest backup is the model that can show its work, even if its style leaves you cold. Fable may come back. Either way, the next model you build on shouldn’t be able to take your work down with it.—Katie Parrott https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTG9vcHMgZm9yIE5vbi1jb2RlcnMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGthdGllLnBhcnJvdHQxMiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2MH0= ---------------------------------------- DISCUSS > “I feel like I got on the last plane out of Vietnam.

(Hence all the “learn to code” jabs directed at liberal arts majors.) Now, MVP applicants, and entry-level and mid-career software engineers are competing for a shrinking number of available roles as AI consumes more of their jobs. Per the Journal, even experienced programmers are bracing for layoffs by hoarding cash, making risky stock market bets, or considering a career change. ---------------------------------------- Laura Entis https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTG9vcHMgZm9yIE5vbi1jb2RlcnMgIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwNCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGxhdXJhXzI3YmJhZl8xIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjYyfQ== is a staff writer at Every.

At my pre-product-market fit startup, we’d all been speaking with prospects and trying to figure out the positioning for our product, but keeping track of everything we learned was a mess across founders, platforms, and mediums. To share what we learned during our Monday meeting, Brian would read notes in Slack, collect transcripts from Granola, and try to make sense of it all in Claude Code. We couldn’t afford to be that disorganized. We’d recently launched Hoop https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9ob29wLmFwcD91dG1fc291cmNlPUV2ZXJ5XHUwMDI2dXRtX21lZGl1bT1hcnRpY2xlXHUwMDI2dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPWFnZW50bmF0aXZlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9, an agent that helps subscription brands reduce churn, and we needed to learn as quickly as we could. So we had to talk to as many potential customers as possible, then rigorously document and score each call to separate polite interest from genuine demand. Everyone on our five-person team was putting in the effort, but each of us had our own process, our own tools, and our own interpretation of what happened on each customer call. So my two cofounders and I—none of us with “engineer” in our title—built an internal tool to fix it. What we didn’t expect was that the tool would change how we built our actual product for customers, too. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYWthLm1zL0NvbW1hbmRMaW5lSG9tZXBhZ2UiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTAsImFkdmVydGlzZW1lbnRfaWQiOjExODB9 THROW OUT THE OLD PLAYBOOK The software development lifecycle wasn’t designed for agentic AI—and it shows.

We had no way to see patterns and draw conclusions about what our potential customers wanted. Justin, my cofounder and the resident product expert, built the first version of a tool to bring those notes together in under 10 hours over a few days, fitting it in around his other priorities. Here’s how it worked: You’d upload a Zoom transcript, the tool would run the transcript through four or five prompts, and you’d get a structured analysis scored against the PULL criteria https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vdGhlcGh5c2ljc29mc3RhcnR1cHMuc3Vic3RhY2suY29tL3AvdGhlLXB1bGwtZnJhbWV3b3JrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE0fQ==—a framework developed at Harvard Business School to help early-stage startups find product-market fit. The tool would also pull together all the conversations with a given prospect into a summary, so you could see the full arc of a relationship instead of just a snapshot from one call. Rather than digging through notes and transcripts, the tool gave us a consolidated analysis week over week to help us see what was working and what wasn’t. Justin set up the app using tools we hadn’t used before: Next.js framework https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly9uZXh0LmpzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ== with ShadCN components https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vdWkuc2hhZGNuLmNvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9 for the user interface, Supabase for the database that compiled all the notes, Claude’s API for the analysis. For Justin, who had studied computer science but wasn’t writing much code anymore, it was an opportunity to dust off his skills and build his confidence with AI-native coding. He started by designing and building the visual interface because he is the kind of person who gets frustrated when software doesn’t look right, even if it functions. He made sure that the look and feel of the tool matched our brand, and got the components (buttons, labels, menus) looking clean before he went anywhere near the data. Only then did he go straight to the data. He had to make sure that the tool’s analysis of the customer conversations was better than what people were already producing on their own with Claude. Otherwise, we would never convince the whole team to use the same tool. So he created a prompt that he tweaked after manually reviewing the output several times and relying on Anthropic’s prompting best practices https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcGxhdGZvcm0uY2xhdWRlLmNvbS9kb2NzL2VuL2J1aWxkLXdpdGgtY2xhdWRlL3Byb21wdC1lbmdpbmVlcmluZy9jbGF1ZGUtcHJvbXB0aW5nLWJlc3QtcHJhY3RpY2VzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE3fQ== for Claude. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdHMvNDMwMy9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfYzJhOTJiMzctMjYxNy00MDFjLTgyOGYtMjhhYzdhMTNkZTY3LnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOH0= STILL TOO MUCH FRICTION The first version of the tool generated high-quality analysis, but too many parts of the process were still manual. You had to download the call transcript from Zoom, upload it manually to the tool, fill in the customer name and call type, and wait several minutes while it was processed. Then you’d create a link and share the analysis in Slack. The team could search the transcripts and analysis in the tool, but it didn’t return good results. For example, I searched for prospects who’d had bad experiences with AI customer support tools and got no results back, even though I knew a head of customer experience had spent five minutes talking about how embarrassed they were by their AI sending off-brand responses to customers. The tool could only match the exact words in my query, not the meaning behind them. And there was the classic adoption problem that we know all too well from our years at productivity tool Trello, where we’d previously worked. Justin’s tool was yet another place people had to remember to go, competing with Slack and Notion for our attention. GOING AGENT-NATIVE Then we found the answer to our woes. Justin had been reading about agent-native architecture https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2UgQnVpbHQgT3VyIE93biBBZ2VudC1uYXRpdmUgVG9vbC4gSXQgT3ZlcmhhdWxlZCBIb3cgV2UgQnVpbGQgU29mdHdhcmUuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMywicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL2FnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOX0= on Every. Instead of hard-coding a sequence of prompts that run in a fixed order, you give a model a set of tools and let it reason about how to use them. And instead of building a destination app that requires people to come to you, you bring the tool to where people already work, like Slack. Justin gave Claude Code the link to the article and said that he wanted to build a system that aligned with those architecture principles. The agent needed two tools: one to upload and read a transcript, and one to add and edit a partner profile. With those in place, all users had to do was send a transcript to the app in Slack. The agent confirmed the partner name and call details, then uploaded the transcript, ran the analysis, created a summary page, and posted it to our user feedback channel. Justin started checking everything he built against the agent-native architecture guidelines, not just the product-market fit tool. He’d go into planning mode with Claude Code, lay out a new feature, and send it alongside the Every article back to Claude Code and ask: “Where is this aligned, and where is it not?” Sometimes he deviated from the guidelines when he didn’t think that users needed AI for a specific task. For example, the tool tracked LLM token usage and cost—useful information, but not something users needed to query. Exposing it to the agent would have only created confusion. MY TURN IN THE CODEBASE I had a different problem. I needed to see the pipeline at a glance—who to follow up with, where each conversation stood—organized by people and stages, not just chronological call logs. I opened Ghostty, a simple terminal app, copied the tool’s code so I could work on it locally on my laptop, and—hands a little shaky at the thought of directly editing code—fired up Claude Code. The first thing I asked Claude Code to build was a lightweight view of the data so I could see the different stages of the pipeline at a glance. Ironically, I was asking Claude Code to build a Trello-like board of the information so I could move cards representing calls around. Old habits die hard. I built incrementally. I noticed it’d be useful to have the status of a deal on the front of each card. so I prompted Claude Code, “Make sure each card has a one-line summary so I know at a glance where things stand.” Once deployed, deals came in with their status attached. Every time I wanted something different, I just asked. Encouraged by Justin, I started merging code directly to the shared repo. Sometimes things broke, and nobody got in trouble, because the stakes were low and everyone treated it that way. BRIAN LEARNS AGENT-NATIVE AT 10 P.M. Next up was Brian, our other cofounder, who was responsible for our weekly user learnings report. Before the new tool, he would often forget and end up scrolling through Notion, or riffing from memory on whatever conversations were freshest in his mind. Our learnings skewed toward recency rather than significance, and we missed patterns that only showed up when you looked at all the calls together. So Brian built a feature to generate the report automatically. His first version was a link on his computer that spit out a Markdown file he would paste into Notion—it worked, but only for him. His second added a Learnings tab to the tool with a button that produced the same Markdown output, but now anyone could pull a report. That solved the access problem, but a new one surfaced. The team couldn’t tweak the format or focus of the report without asking Brian to edit the code. Brian wanted to make the prompt for the report editable so the team could tune the reports without touching code. At 9:25 p.m., Justin suggested in Slack: “You should make the prompt an editable field and pass it to the agent.” Brian didn’t understand what that meant, so he pasted Justin’s message into Claude and asked for an explanation. Claude walked him through the agent-native architecture philosophy, and Brian started to understand: Instead of giving a human a text box to edit the prompt, you give the agent a tool that lets it read and modify the prompt itself. Then anyone can talk to the tool in Slack and tell it what to change. By 11:15 p.m., Brian had the feature working. He tested it by telling the Slack agent to rewrite the Learnings prompt in Klingon, and sure enough, every report came out in Klingon. It took two hours, from start to finish. More practically, a recent report flagged that four out of our last six calls mentioned the same pain point: Brands were losing subscribers who hadn’t realized they’d signed up in the first place. Customers often subscribe to unlock a discount, forget it’s recurring, and cancel in surprise when the charge lands—exactly the moment our product could step in with a savings offer or a better-fit recommendation. None of us had connected those dots individually; the pattern only emerged when the tool looked across all the calls at once. Then something unexpected happened. Duplicate records appeared in the Learnings tab, and Brian mentioned it to the bot in Slack. The bot looked at both records, figured out one was empty, and deleted it—a “find and delete duplicates” function. He had given the agent editing rights to the database, and the model reasoned through the problem on its own. That was the moment it clicked for Brian: If you give a reasoning model simple, powerful tools, it can handle situations you never thought to code for. WHAT WE TOOK BACK TO THE PRODUCT The most important thing the tool did was change how we build our external-facing product. Justin took the agent-native patterns he’d tested internally and built multiple sales tools, including a helpdesk audit we can run with prospective customers to show them the value of Hoop before they sign up. Brian went from building a Learnings tab to building something like an internal sales agent, a bot we call “Benny” that lives in Slack, taps into our sales tools, and runs tasks on command: qualifying leads, scoring them against our ideal customer profile, and updating Attio (our CRM). I went from building features for a customer relationship manager to having informed opinions about product architecture. It also kept us honest. When every call is scored and summarized automatically, you can’t hide from what the data is telling you. When five different operators in a single week told us our pricing didn’t make sense, we had to face the facts and change it to win more deals. At a big company, a team of analysts would be writing quarterly reports off this data. We’re five people doing it weekly with a tool we built ourselves. The tool will probably look different in another month, and that’s fine. The fluency that we’ve gained matters more: knowing when to give a model a tool versus when to hard-code a workflow, being comfortable with shipping and failing—and trying again. ---------------------------------------- Stella Garber is cofounder and CEO of Hoop.

To quell the imposter syndrome, I tried an experiment before I sat down with GitHub chief operating officer Kyle Daigle, a true GitHub veteran who joined the company as a developer 13 years ago. I built a simulated version of Kyle—an AI persona distilled from his public writing, talks, and interviews—and asked the AI Kyle the same questions I planned to ask the real one. I expected the output to be either eerily accurate or useless. It was neither—precisely what made it valuable. Out of 12 questions, two responses were strong matches, four were partial matches, and six were material misses. To the simulation’s credit, when it lacked evidence, it said so instead of inventing something. Those holes were the most useful prep—they showed me what information wasn’t available on the public record, and therefore where I should spend my time in the live interview. I’ve spent a lot of time talking to AI personas. My last startup, Ask Rally https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBJbnRlcnZpZXdlZCBhbiBBSSBWZXJzaW9uIG9mIEdpdEh1YuKAmXMgQ09P4oCUVGhlbiBTcG9rZSB0byB0aGUgUmVhbCBPbmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzAyLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cDovL2Fza3JhbGx5LmNvbSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2fQ==, was a virtual focus group tool. We found that AI is no substitute for the real thing, but in high-stakes scenarios, roleplay can help you get out of your own head, build confidence in your strategy, and avoid costly mistakes. We’re more predictable than we think, with some studies showing 85 percent accuracy https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBJbnRlcnZpZXdlZCBhbiBBSSBWZXJzaW9uIG9mIEdpdEh1YuKAmXMgQ09P4oCUVGhlbiBTcG9rZSB0byB0aGUgUmVhbCBPbmUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MzAyLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hcnhpdi5vcmcvYWJzLzI0MTEuMTAxMDkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6N30= in AI personas replicating real human responses. What follows is the actual interview, with notes on what the simulation got right, what it missed, and where the comparison is interesting. We also went back to human Kyle—and his take surprised us more than the AI answers. ---------------------------------------- 1. EXPANDING THE DEFINITION OF A DEVELOPER Mike: The demographics of the customer are changing. A lot of people who may never have used GitHub or developer products before are now using them. How has that changed the way you decide the product roadmap? Kyle Daigle: GitHub has always had an expansive view of what a developer is. I started as a developer before I would have called myself a dev. I was writing code for myself, and I did not go to school for computer science. I was going to art school and wrote code to pay for art school. That journey is important: I can create tools with a team and deliver them to people who want to build an app for themselves, their family, a startup, or a business. GitHub has serious developer tools used by the largest businesses, but when I look at something like the GitHub Copilot app, I see both developers running multiple projects and agent sessions and people on our legal or finance teams using it. Customers tell us the same thing. People the industry might call knowledge workers, or non-developers by trade, are using these tools to build little apps or assets. Our focus is still very much on developers, but we want to make it easier for people to try writing code. There should always be an on-ramp into creating software, including through tools like the GitHub Copilot app. Simulation note: A partial match. The AI Kyle correctly predicted the real Kyle’s thesis: AI is expanding who gets to build software—and even offered a framework to test this that the real Kyle plausibly could have mentioned: “The design test I keep coming back to is ‘no net new behavior.’ New capabilities should fit into the places where software work already happens.” But it couldn’t produce the art-school story or the legal-and-finance-teams example that made the real answer compelling. 2. HELPING MAINTAINERS HANDLE A FLOOD OF PULL REQUESTS Mike: How do you help developers deal with the burden of all the extra pull requests? Open source maintainers I talk to are drowning. What needs to happen to help them? Kyle Daigle: For developers generally, we are building tools like Copilot code review. It is now agentic, so it finds more novel vulnerabilities, and you can comment and have the agent implement a change. Code review is an overlooked way to get pull requests into a state where they are much easier to review. Agentic merge is another example. A pull request can be almost ready, but there are still manual steps to finish processing it. Instead, I can define what GitHub Copilot is allowed to do and tell it to merge the pull request, wait for CI, and wait for policies. Open source has a unique set of needs because maintainers do not control who sends changes. We are focused on giving maintainers more control: whether they want to accept pull requests, who they want to accept them from, and how much work a contributor needs to do to demonstrate that a contribution will be meaningful. Every community is choosing a slightly different approach. GitHub wants to provide the building blocks and leave maintainers in control. If a standard practice emerges, we can cement a system around it, but we do not want to impose one first. Simulation note: The AI got the governing principle right and the substance wrong. Its best line—“The system should give maintainers explicit rules and guardrails, not just a larger inbox”—is something the real Kyle could have said. But it named zero products. Copilot code review, agentic merge, contributor acceptance controls: all invisible to a persona built from public material, because they weren’t publicized until the event. 3. GROWTH IN AGENT-GENERATED ACTIVITY Mike: You have a front-row seat to this new agent economy. You said publicly that you have had more pull requests submitted in a month than in all of last year. How are those stats exploding? Kyle Daigle: We are seeing much more activity on GitHub. Last October at GitHub Universe, we shared that there had been one billion commits on GitHub for the full year. We are on track for 14 billion if growth is linear this year, which it will not be. In March, 17 million pull requests were created by agents alone. There is much more code being created. Sometimes people dismiss it as slop: code pushed up that nobody cares about. That is not really true. We are leaving the super-early-adoption stage. We are not at the peak, but we are climbing the hill and learning what we can build when it is not just Kyle building, but Kyle plus one, two, or N agents using my skills, resources, and context. We are investing heavily in preparing for the next wave of growth because this does not seem to be growing and then plateauing. No matter where people build or what tools they use, the code ends up on GitHub for sharing and collaboration. We need to support everyone’s agent moment, not just GitHub Copilot. Simulation note: Miss. The AI recited last year’s public numbers—it can only re-serve the stats you already have. 4.

On Friday night, the U.S. government banned Anthropic’s distribution of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to non-U.S. nationals. In response, Anthropic disabled Fable for all customers. As of this writing, the situation is ongoing. It remains to be seen how it will play out, but I can already see the difference in my AI usage. Here’s a graph comparing my Claude and Codex usage before and after the ban (the “event” below): https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRmFibGUsIERpc2FibGVkIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdHMvNDMwMS9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfMDQxMmI5MzItMWU5NC00MmVlLTg3MjAtYzdhOGY4NDBlZDJmLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo1fQ==Image courtesy of Dan Shipper. Before the ban, I was split about evenly between Claude and Codex. After (and after a period where I was using neither because I was sleeping), I switched almost entirely to Codex. My guess is that this ban is not going to last very long. It seems to rest on a misunderstanding between the government and Anthropic https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRmFibGUsIERpc2FibGVkIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndzai5jb20vdGVjaC9haS9hbWF6b24tY2Vvcy10YWxrcy13aXRoLXUtcy1vZmZpY2lhbHMtdHJpZ2dlcmVkLWNyYWNrZG93bi1vbi1hbnRocm9waWMtbW9kZWxzLWRjYzkwNTc4P3N0PTlyNHRuTVx1MDAyNnJlZmxpbms9ZGVza3RvcHdlYnNoYXJlX3Blcm1hbGluayIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2fQ== about which kinds of guardrail bypasses are fixable and what counts as an adequate solution. Anthropic believes the jailbreak identified by the government is narrow rather than universal—it surfaces only minor vulnerabilities that other public models are already susceptible to. The government apparently believes otherwise. Because both sides are highly incentivized to work this out, I’d bet that the ban is revoked after a few days—and demand for the newly returned Fable skyrockets. However, this kind of move is extremely disruptive and distracting for people working at Anthropic. The only comparable scenario I can remember is Sam Altman https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRmFibGUsIERpc2FibGVkIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZXZlcnl0aGluZy90aGlua3NnaXZpbmctaXMtdXBvbi11cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ==’s firing https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiRmFibGUsIERpc2FibGVkIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZXZlcnl0aGluZy90aGlua3NnaXZpbmctaXMtdXBvbi11cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==, which was resolved relatively quickly.

We see the consequences of falsely crying wolf. We learn why slow and steady wins the hare race. So what is the moral of Claude Fable 5, Anthropic’s newest model, which this week we called the best coding model in the world https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vcmFsIG9mIEZhYmxlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vdmliZS1jaGVjay9hbnRocm9waWMtbXl0aG9zLW91ci1mYWJsZS12aWJlLWNoZWNrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjZ9? For engineers, the case is easy to make. For many knowledge workers, though, Fable might feel incremental. You may have one-shotted an impressive demo or two, but you’re probably not using it for your day-to-day work. Why would you? It costs twice as much and the results aren’t that much better. But there is a certain class of developers who are feeling Fable’s full force. These are people like Cora https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vcmFsIG9mIEZhYmxlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29yYS5jb21wdXRlciIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ== general manager Kieran Klaassen https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vcmFsIG9mIEZhYmxlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGtpZXJhbl8xMzU1IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjh9, who are suddenly churning through his backlog of bug fixes and feature requests in hours instead of days. “This is my favorite model ever,” he told me. What’s the difference between Kieran and everyone else? The difference between Kieran and most people using Fable isn’t simply that he’s a developer but that he’s at Level 7 or 8 on our scale of AI use https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIE1vcmFsIG9mIEZhYmxlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDMwMCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vZ3VpZGVzL3RoZS1laWdodC1sZXZlbHMtb2YtYWktYWRvcHRpb24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=: He delegates whole projects, lets agents work asynchronously, reviews the results, and feeds what he learns into the next run.

Fable 5 has thrown the Every team into a new round of existential questioning. It’s an obvious first choice for certain projects—those that are large, complex, and delegable—and an arguably worse, too-expensive fit for others. After a week of testing the model, most of us at Every have settled into a two-prong approach: Fire up Fable for ambitious assignments, let it do its thing, and reach for your favored coding agent for smaller-scale, iterative tasks. Head of growth Austin Tedesco https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgRXZlcnl3aGVyZSwgQWxsIGF0IE9uY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjk4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AdGVkZXNjYXUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTN9’s breakdown: Fable 5 demands “a very different way of approaching knowledge work,” one that requires fine-tuning exactly what outcomes you want from the model, what information it needs to execute, and trusting it enough to sit back and let it cook. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgRXZlcnl3aGVyZSwgQWxsIGF0IE9uY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjk4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ha2EubXMvQ29tbWFuZExpbmVIb21lcGFnZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNCwiYWR2ZXJ0aXNlbWVudF9pZCI6MTE4MH0= THROW OUT THE OLD PLAYBOOK The software development lifecycle wasn’t designed for agentic AI—and it shows.

Head of platform Willie Williams https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgRXZlcnl3aGVyZSwgQWxsIGF0IE9uY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjk4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Ad2lsbGlld2lsbGlhbXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9’s breakdown: Willie is still working out his setup. Fable crushes other models on Every’s Senior Engineer benchmark https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgRXZlcnl3aGVyZSwgQWxsIGF0IE9uY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjk4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9iZW5jaG1hcmtzL3Nlbmlvci1lbmdpbmVlci1iZW5jaG1hcmsiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9, but it’s too slow and token-hungry to be a good collaborator. “Do I take the downside of a slightly less capable model, knowing that when we go to the iteration portion of the relationship, it’s more enjoyable to iterate with?” For now, the Codex app is still where he does most of his daily work. He has spent a lot of time building his setup inside the app: “I can have one thread talk to another thread that talks to another thread—it makes for a nice workflow where I always know what’s going on.” He plans to test Fable 5’s limits with tasks he’d give a senior engineer, such as reviewing a full codebase alongside a long list of product tickets and looking for an elegant fix that could solve several complaints at once. Head of tech consulting Mike Taylor https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgRXZlcnl3aGVyZSwgQWxsIGF0IE9uY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjk4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMxfQ==’s breakdown: The second there is a superior model, Mike reorganizes his workflow around it. Mike plans to put Fable 5 through its paces with tasks built around ambitious loops, such as having it write a technical book section by section from a table of contents, checking each section against editorial guidelines before continuing. “I will still use Codex, but mostly out of obligation that I should try all the different things,” he says. “If I weren’t working at a company where we need to have an opinion on these things, and thus need to try everything, I would probably just be using Fable.” (An AI early adopter, Mike is happy to shell out for access to the best new models—he already pays for his own Claude Max plan for personal projects.) One giant caveat: Mike discovered, and alerted the rest of the consulting team, that Fable cannot be used for work done on behalf of the team’s clients. Consulting work often includes confidential information, and Fable’s model environment may retain context beyond a specific task, violating existing NDAs. ---------------------------------------- A FABLE PROMPT STARTER PACK We put eight of our best Fable workflows into a copy-ready prompt library https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgRXZlcnl3aGVyZSwgQWxsIGF0IE9uY2UiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjk4LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL2NsYXVkZS1mYWJsZS01LXByb21wdC1saWJyYXJ5IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMyfQ==, including: 1.

Here are the highlights: 1. More work is happening overnight. Fable 5 is the first model capable enough that you can hand it a complex task, walk away, and trust it will be completed by morning. When it hits an obstacle—a remote service goes down, say, or a tool stops working—it writes a workaround and forges ahead. That resilience has changed the daily rhythm of Krieger’s work: He now ends his workday by briefing the model on what needs to get done while he sleeps, rather than sitting down to do it himself. 2. The gap between what’s in your head and what exists in the world is closing. Given access to Fable 5 and a set of internal MCPs, an Anthropic recruiter described the experience as, “The first time in my life where I feel like the thing that’s in my head and the thing that exists in the world are right next to each other. I can just do it.” This is the most meaningful thing about the new model class, Krieger says—it allows non-engineers to create the exact products they need to get more done. 3. Software engineering is dead. Long live software engineering. Engineers now spend less time writing code and more time setting direction, reviewing what their AI agents have built, and making judgment calls when something breaks in production. The divide between product managers and engineers has blurred. “There is a feeling of loss, I think, in some of the better engineers that I talk to, as well as the feeling of, ‘Oh my God, but I can do insane amounts of work now at the same time.’ We’re holding both ideas in our heads at once,” Krieger says. 4. All eyes are on verification. If we can delegate more to the model, it becomes more important to check what it has built works in practice. Krieger’s approach combines regression testing on known workflows, visual checks—including giving the model video captures of its own work so it can catch animation glitches screenshots would miss—and mock backends for anything too complex to test live. When a bug arrives via Slack, Fable 5 makes the fix, posts the pull request, then follows up hours later. Miss an episode?

It may even stumble on a solution you hadn’t considered. Not every task deserves this treatment. Smart colleagues don’t come cheap, and neither does Fable 5. Here’s how to get the most out of this powerful new model and some of the workflows the team is using. PICK THE RIGHT TASKS Tasks that are good candidates for Fable 5 have four qualities: You’re able to give the model organized and deep context, a well-defined goal, and a clear definition of what good or done looks like, and the importance of the task justifies the cost. The model is smart enough to reason its way through complex problems and likes to carry tasks through to the end, but if your data is wrong or out of date, or your goals conflict, it will likely reach the wrong conclusion. That’s less of a concern on earlier, less powerful models, where you’re giving feedback more frequently during a task and could catch those mistakes. Advanced users of AI—who operate at Level 7 or Level 8 on our AI adoption curve https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy90aGUtZWlnaHQtbGV2ZWxzLW9mLWFpLWFkb3B0aW9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI5fQ==—are already comfortable delegating to their agents. For everyone else, using the model demands a mental reframing. Instead of iterating back and forth, the work gets frontloaded into providing the right context and establishing clear directives, letting Fable 5 do its thing, and only reviewing the results once it’s completed the entire task. The examples below are entry points to get you started. EXAMPLE 1: FIX A BROKEN WORKFLOW Senior engineer Nityesh Agarwal https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BuaXR5ZXNoIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ== built a Claude Code skill to help Every’s consulting team create first drafts of PowerPoint decks. It worked, but it kept hitting the same snags: Boxes were slightly misaligned, images weren’t the right size, and sometimes a footer would be updated on one slide but not another. One run with Claude Code took about 30 minutes, used roughly 100 million tokens, and still came back with errors. Nityesh pointed Fable 5 at the Claude Code session log and asked it to review where the PowerPoint skill was breaking down. Fable 5 found the root problem. Under the hood, a PowerPoint file is a bundle of XML files that store the position, size, styling, and order of everything on a slide. Claude was being asked to edit those hidden files directly, so a simple request like “change this phrase” or “move this image two inches left” required the model to find the right hidden text and rewrite the surrounding layout code without disturbing anything else. Fable 5 built a command-line tool that gives agents a more natural way to work with PowerPoint— if the text on a specific slide needs to be updated, for example, or an image has to be resized, the agent can use the tool to make these targeted changes instead of having to rewrite the entire XML file. Nityesh’s takeaway: Use Fable 5 to diagnose broken workflows, create the tools or skills that fix them, and then let cheaper models use that infrastructure going forward. Nityesh's prompt Here is a session log from an agent trying to complete this workflow: [describe workflow]. It struggled in these ways: [time, cost, errors, bad outputs, repeated failures]. Take a step back and analyze where the current tool, skill, or workflow is breaking down. What is the root cause of the failure, and how would you fix it? Make a plan first. Then build or specify the upgrade. Test it against the same kind of task, and explain how cheaper models could use it later. EXAMPLE 2: CREATE A GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY Austin Tedesco https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L2F1c3Rpbi10ZWRlc2NvLWpvaW5zLWV2ZXJ5LWFzLWhlYWQtb2YtZ3Jvd3RoIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMxfQ==, Every’s head of growth, had a lackluster first experience using Fable 5 to generate a go-to-market strategy for this week’s model launch. He asked it to look across Slack and Notion for relevant context, but the output didn’t feel meaningfully better than what he might have gotten from GPT-5.5 or Opus 4.8. “It did a good job of synthesizing what we had all said and compiling it. But I thought, ‘This plan isn’t any better than what we would have done,’” he says. “It’s acting as a very expensive, verbose executive assistant.” For his next attempt, Austin put more effort into framing a more complex problem, asking Fable to look at a large set of Every audience insights—survey results, PostHog data, brand positioning work—and audit them against the actual Every.to https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vZXZlcnkudG8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9 website experience, while considering the team’s quarterly plans and internal goals. Then he gave it a clear business objective—increase paid subscriptions among those target customer profiles. He was also more specific in what he wanted back: a Notion report with 10 data insights that might change how the team operated, plus a stack-ranked list of 10 things Every should ship or try. The difference was striking. “Dan [Shipper] https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BkYW5zaGlwcGVyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMzfQ== and I kept saying, ‘This is nuts,’” Austin says. “If we hired a go-to-market engineer to do this and they turned this around in two weeks, we would say, ‘This was an incredible hire.’” Austin’s takeaway: Fable 5 performs much better on knowledge work when you give it a complex problem, full access to relevant sources of truth, a clear goal, and a specific output. If you ask it to “make a plan,” it may summarize what people already agree on. If you ask it to use data to test assumptions and produce a ranked set of decisions, the results are much sharper. Austin's prompt Use the attached source pack to analyze [business area/launch/audience/funnel]. Sources include: [survey data, customer research, analytics dashboards, website context, planning docs, meeting notes, Slack discussions, internal goals]. Our goal is [specific business goal] for [target customer/profile]. Do not just summarize internal consensus. Use the data and source material to test our assumptions and identify what should change. Produce: 1. The 10 most important insights that could change how we operate. 2. A stack-ranked list of 10 things we should ship, try, or stop doing. 3. The evidence behind each recommendation. 4. Any source conflicts, stale rules, unclear analytics definitions, or assumptions I should verify before acting. If you find a conclusion that depends heavily on one data source or project rule, flag it and explain how you would check whether it is true. /lfg—This command sends the agent on a full compound engineering workflow, including planning, building and reviewing. It’s a reliable way to get the most out of Fable. EXAMPLE 3: TURN FEEDBACK INTO BATCHED CHANGES Before Fable 5, Kieran trusted agents with narrow, well-defined product fixes, such as making a keyboard shortcut work or resolving a bug from a screen recording. His broader workflow was already in place https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2tpZXJhbmtsYWFzc2VuL3N0YXR1cy8yMDY0NDU3NzM1ODQ1MTcxNTE4IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM0fQ==: Pull feedback from Slack or videos, give it to an agent, and review the result at the end. He calls it the “AI sandwich” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L3lvdS1yZS10aGUtYnJlYWQtaW4tdGhlLWFpLXNhbmR3aWNoIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM1fQ==: human at the start, machine in the middle, human at the end. This weekend, Kieran had Fable 5 pull everything a colleague had said about Cora over the previous two days on Slack, analyze it, and make a list of product fixes. His agent handled all the fixes, and Kieran checked the result at the end. In one run, he made 30 fixes in a single batch and had the agent check the changes didn’t interfere with one another, instead of reviewing 10 small tasks one by one. Now he’s working on building the next layer: having the agent automatically pull product feedback from Slack on a schedule, evaluate it against Cora’s vision document and user personas, surface changes that seem to be worth making, and present it to him for approval. That kind of loop depends on the quality of the raw material. Screen recordings are useful because they show the model what a written bug report often leaves out, such as what someone clicked on, what happened next, and how that differed from what they expected. Slack can also work as a source of signal, especially when the comments come from people with strong product judgment. Kieran’s takeaway: Fable 5 is strongest when the work is connected to a feedback loop. The model can gather, group, and act on feedback, but the quality of the result still depends on the quality of the input. His role is to decide which ideas are worth acting on. Kieran's Prompt Collect product feedback about [product/feature/workflow] from these sources: [Slack channel, support tickets, screen recordings, screenshots, production logs, customer calls, meeting notes]. Group the feedback into themes. Identify: 1. What is clearly actionable 2. What needs my judgment before acting 3. What conflicts with our strategy, personas, or product direction 4. What evidence you used For the actionable items, create one batch plan. If you have the tools and approval to make the changes, implement them together. Make sure the fixes do not conflict. When you are done, show me what changed, what you skipped, what still needs my review, and how you verified the work. EXAMPLE 4: BUILD FROM AN ORIGINAL PLAN Years ago, Willie Williams https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0B3aWxsaWV3aWxsaWFtcyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNn0=, Every’s head of platform, built a website for a friend who was in school to become a therapist and needed a better way to create genograms, a kind of annotated family tree used in some therapeutic intake processes. The original version took him a couple of weeks, and it had a stubborn bug: While running, the site would get slower and slower until it crashed. Willie had tried to fix the issue with other models before, to no avail. Fable 5 didn’t get it on the first try either. When Willie asked it to only look at the code, it confidently suggested a fix that didn’t work. Then, he told Fable 5 to run the app locally, watch what was happening, and figure it out from there. Once it could see the site running, it fixed the bug. After that, Willie gave Fable 5 a bigger assignment: Build the product from scratch using the original spec, without looking at the version he had already built. The spec included who the product was for, what users needed to create, how the visual workspace should behave, and the edge cases the app needed to handle. Willie ran the same test against Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Fable 5. Fable 5 was significantly better than Opus or GPT-5.5. Willie’s takeaway: Fable 5 is well suited to assignments where you can give it the same materials you would give a senior engineer: the product goal, relevant domain context, tricky edge cases, and a clear sense of what the first version needs to do. It can work from a plan, make judgment calls, and produce a first version without being walked through every step. Willie's prompt I want you to build a first working version of [product/website/tool]. Here is the original product spec: [paste spec] Here is who it is for: [users] Here is the domain context you need: [terms, workflows, examples, constraints] Here are the tricky cases the product must handle: [edge cases] Here is what the first version needs to do: [requirements] Here is what can be rough for now: [scope boundaries] Make a plan first. Then build the first version. Run it locally or otherwise test it in the environment where it will actually be used. When you are done, show me how to try it, what decisions you made, what you left out, and what I should review carefully. COST IS ONLY PART OF THE DECISION Fable 5 is powerful—and expensive. The model is available on Claude’s paid plans until June 22, after which it will move to token-based pricing. (It costs $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, making it roughly two times the cost of Opus 4.8 and three times the cost of Sonnet 4.6 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIEdldCB0aGUgTW9zdCBPdXQgb2YgRmFibGUgNSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyOTQsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1hbnRocm9waWMtanVzdC1tYWRlLW9wdXMtY2hlYXBlci13aXRob3V0LWNhbGxpbmctaXQtdGhhdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30=.) But cost is only one part of the decision. Fable 5 is also slow, especially when you run it at higher effort levels, so it makes the most sense for large, complex, delegable jobs you can trust the model to complete and review later, such as fixing a broken workflow, building a feature or app, synthesizing a lot of source material, or reviewing a codebase. For quick edits, small bugs, and back-and-forth brainstorming, faster and cheaper models remain the better option.

My drafts had picked up too many of the AI tells that both I—and you—know how to spot from across the room: the symmetrical sentence structures, the little rhetorical throat-clears, the phrases that sound profound on first pass but on closer inspection contain nothing but air, and those pesky sets of three. The worst part was that I should know better. I am the person at Every who writes about writing with AI while using AI to write about writing with AI. I have custom agents, style guides https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgRWRpdG9yIENhdWdodCBNZSBTb3VuZGluZyBMaWtlIEFJLiBOb3cgQUkgQ2F0Y2hlcyBNZSBGaXJzdC4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjcwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvYWktc3R5bGUtZ3VpZGU_c291cmNlPXBvc3RfYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjd9, editorial workflows, and an apparently bottomless appetite for turning every lesson into a system. And still, I had let the machine’s smoothness https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgRWRpdG9yIENhdWdodCBNZSBTb3VuZGluZyBMaWtlIEFJLiBOb3cgQUkgQ2F0Y2hlcyBNZSBGaXJzdC4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjcwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by93b3JraW5nLW92ZXJ0aW1lL3dlLW5lZWQtdG8tdGFsay1hYm91dC1haS1hdXRvcGlsb3QiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OH0= pass for my own judgment enough times that my editors felt the need to intervene. After the meeting, I did what I generally do when I learn something new, embarrassing or otherwise: I baked it into documentation for my agents. I opened the notes, pulled out the patterns Kate had flagged, and listed them in a new skill called /guardrails, which turns any agent I write with into an exacting editorial specialist that keeps me honest. I’ll never be completely done with /guardrails, or any of the review skills like it that I’ve built, because my human tics and tendencies will move around like a squirmy toddler. But I’d rather make new mistakes than keep repeating the old ones. Review skills are the mechanism by which I do that. They’re another form of editor, one that can catch a draft’s more annoying weak spots before they become a human editor’s problem. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgRWRpdG9yIENhdWdodCBNZSBTb3VuZGluZyBMaWtlIEFJLiBOb3cgQUkgQ2F0Y2hlcyBNZSBGaXJzdC4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjcwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MjcwL29wdGltaXplZF9mMzNhZTFjZi1mNDQyLTQ1NDYtYmEwYy1mZTk5YTQ5NzQ3YzgucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9The start of my guardrails skill, where I’ve compiled all the particular ways that content I submit can fall below par.

Setting up reviews like /guardrails takes time, attention, and a certain comfort with a tool like Codex https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiTXkgRWRpdG9yIENhdWdodCBNZSBTb3VuZGluZyBMaWtlIEFJLiBOb3cgQUkgQ2F0Y2hlcyBNZSBGaXJzdC4iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjcwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvY29kZXgtZm9yLWtub3dsZWRnZS13b3JrIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEzfQ== or Claude Code. But once the reviewers are in place and working, I can spend more of my time pushing the draft from good to great. My drafts are now much cleaner and my own preferences are less of a mystery to myself, because I’ve had to think and talk about them enough that they’ve worn new grooves into my brain. I’m going to show you a few of the reviewers I rely on and what goes into them (I’ll share a set on Every’s GitHub along with this piece). But it should serve as an example, not a blueprint; the special sauce of this process comes from setting and enforcing your own collection of style requirements. SKILLS RULE EVERYTHING AROUND ME In the beginning of any good guardrail system, there are skills. At the mechanical level, a skill is a Markdown file with instructions inside it. Practically, it’s a way of packaging judgment. When I invoke the guardrails skill, I am asking the model to read a draft through a set of lenses: Look for AI tells, vague claims, hedges, limp openings, and all the little ways a zombie draft can pass as finished without a pulse. I’ve become fanatical about naming conventions. After all, skill names have to be sticky enough that you remember them when you need them—although this gets less true with every model release, as AI becomes better at deciding which tools it needs to do the job. Still, “assess narrative momentum” sounds like a task someone puts in a project management tool shortly before everyone involved loses the will to live. Instead of clinical descriptors, I’ve given my more editorial skills their own personas: Sorkin is a reviewer with a job. He wants to keep the piece walking and talking, not mired in unnecessary specifics. Similarly, Mom wants to know where a reader who’s not as AI-pilled as I am might get lost. Asshole wants to attack the weakest version of the argument, which is annoying because sometimes the weakest version of the argument is the one I wrote. Each of these reviewers asks a different question. Together, they give me a way to pressure-test a draft before I hand it to a human editor whose attention I would prefer is spent on problems only a human editor can solve. Our brains belong on the piece’s angle, claim, storytelling, and audience fit. You know, the fun stuff, with some stakes attached.

Drug companies do not create billion-dollar assets by having ideas. They need human trials to prove the idea works, and China has become exceptionally good at running them. Because the government has made biotechnology innovation a strategic innovation, policy makers have cleared the bureaucracy and regulation obstacles that have long slowed drug development in the U.S. and Europe.

A decade ago, Chinese biotech was synonymous with copycat drugs—which makes this a Sputnik moment for the industry. One key reason for China’s ascendency is that hundreds of millions of patients are concentrated in large urban hospitals, so companies can recruit quickly from a smaller number of high-volume sites. Chinese biotech firms can reportedly https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgSXMgUmVhZHkuIE9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbnMgQXJlbuKAmXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDI5MSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJpb3NwYWNlLmNvbS9kcnVnLWRldmVsb3BtZW50L2NsaW5pY2FsLXRyaWFscy1hcmUtaW5jcmVhc2luZ2x5LWdvaW5nLWdsb2JhbC13aXRoLWNoaW5hLWEtbWFpbi1iZW5lZmljaWFyeSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo2OX0= complete patient enrollment for a phase 1 or phase 2 trial in nearly half the time a U.S. firm needs. In North America—and even more so in Europe—patients are scattered across fragmented health systems, where every trial site has its own contracts and ethic approvals, each one slow and cumbersome. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgSXMgUmVhZHkuIE9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbnMgQXJlbuKAmXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDI5MSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZDI0b3ZoZ3U4czczNDEuY2xvdWRmcm9udC5uZXQvdXBsb2Fkcy9lZGl0b3IvcG9zdHMvNDI5MS9vcHRpbWl6ZWRfNzlmZDhhMjMtY2I1Ny00Y2YxLWFkM2YtZDQzYTkwZWYxY2ZiLnBuZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3MH0=China recruits trial patients in about half the time the U.S. takes and runs far more trials, across anti-cancer and anti-obesity drugs by phase, 2020–2024. (Source: Norstella.) China’s advantage is that it can turn a large population into clinical data much faster—and iterate on feedback loops of drug development to produce assets that are more effective, and thus more valuable to investors and big pharma. Recently, Legend, a Chinese biotech, developed its own version https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgSXMgUmVhZHkuIE9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbnMgQXJlbuKAmXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDI5MSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd29ya3NpbnByb2dyZXNzLmNvL2lzc3VlL3RoZS1ibG9vZC1jYW5jZXItdGhhdC1iZWNhbWUtc29sdmFibGUvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjcxfQ== of a largely American drug innovation that treats multiple myeloma, a type of aggressive blood cancer. Chinese drug developers moved quickly into human trials and produced data strong enough for Johnson & Johnson to sign a global licensing and codevelopment deal with Legend worth $350 million upfront. A second- and third-order consequence of this new landscape is that even U.S. biotech firms may start asking whether it makes sense to take their drugs to China first, at least to complete phase 1 and phase 2 trials. For now, any drug seeking approval in the U.S. still needs evidence that regulators believe applies to American patients—and in many cases that means later-stage global or Western trials. But it may be inevitable that a Chinese biotech develops a China-originated drug that was licensed into the west without such a step. If this change happens—and many believe it will—the next major obesity, oncology, or immunology drug may come from China, marking the same pattern of ascendancy already visible in solar, batteries, and electric vehicles. Biotech may be next.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgSXMgUmVhZHkuIE9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbnMgQXJlbuKAmXQuIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDI5MSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vQXNod2lucmVhZHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NzJ9 ---------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

Those days are long gone. Venture capitalists lost their appetite to supply unlimited funding in a viciously competitive market, and Uber needed to show a path to profitability ahead of its 2019 IPO. There are signs that the “$5 Uber era” of LLMs is over now, too. AI labs are subsidizing subscriptions to the tune of thousands of dollars https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZm9yYmVzLmNvbS9zaXRlcy9hbm5hdG9uZy8yMDI2LzAzLzA1L2N1cnNvci1nb2VzLXRvLXdhci1mb3ItYWktY29kaW5nLWRvbWluYW5jZS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Nn0=, which can’t continue forever. This year Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI are all going public—and like Uber seven years ago, they’ll need to take a hard look at their books. On June 1, the eve of the event, Microsoft sparked outrage by switching to token-based billing on GitHub Copilot. Some users said their bills jumped from $39 to over $3,000 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9lZHppdHJvbi9zdGF0dXMvMjA2MDIxNDkwMzA1OTk1NjAzOSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo3fQ== per month https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9lZHppdHJvbi9zdGF0dXMvMjA2MDIxNDkwMzA1OTk1NjAzOSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjo4fQ==. Rather than backtracking on billing, Microsoft used the conference stage in California to make the case for using AI more pragmatically in the face of rising costs. I came away from the event thinking that Microsoft is the first company to get real about a world where intelligence is available on tap, but constrained by how many coins you can put in the meter. Here is what the company’s vision looks like in practice, and what it might tell us about how we’ll be paying for and pricing AI in the future. INTELLIGENCE ON AND OFF THE METER: A PRODUCT APPROACH In his opening speech, CEO Satya Nadella addressed pricing concerns head-on. He promised “unmetered intelligence to every desk and every home,” an AI-era update to Bill Gates https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmJjLmNvbS9jdWx0dXJlL2FydGljbGUvMjAyNTAzMjctaG93LWJpbGwtZ2F0ZXMtcHJlZGljdGVkLW91ci1pdC1hZ2UtYmFjay1pbi0xOTkzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjl9’s vision https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmJjLmNvbS9jdWx0dXJlL2FydGljbGUvMjAyNTAzMjctaG93LWJpbGwtZ2F0ZXMtcHJlZGljdGVkLW91ci1pdC1hZ2UtYmFjay1pbi0xOTkzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEwfQ== of “a computer on every desk.” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MjkwL29wdGltaXplZF9jN2QyNTg1MS04ZTc2LTQ4YWUtYWI3Yi1mMmQxNjcyOTlkYzIuanBlZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMX0=Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella promised “unmetered intelligence to every desk and every home.” (All images courtesy of Mike Taylor.) The most tangible way to experience that vision is with the RTX Spark, a new laptop Microsoft designed for AI workloads with Nvidia. The device is able to run a medium-sized 128-billion-parameter model locally (frontier models are in the trillions of parameters) so developers can get a lot of work done without paying a penny for tokens. Microsoft is taking advantage of the fact that the leading open-source models like Kimi-K2.6 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cua2ltaS5jb20vYWktbW9kZWxzL2tpbWktazItNiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMn0=, which have a trillion parameters, are too big to fit on most laptops, and is betting that budget-conscious coders might not mind being a year or two behind the frontier and use a smaller model. The device will be released in the fall. The RTX Spark laptop follows earlier feature announcements https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly90ZWNoY29tbXVuaXR5Lm1pY3Jvc29mdC5jb20vYmxvZy9taWNyb3NvZnRtZWNoYW5pY3NibG9nL2NsYXVkZS0tZ3B0LS1tdWx0aS1tb2RlbC1pbnRlbGxpZ2VuY2UtaW4tY29waWxvdC80NTA5NzczIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEzfQ== that show that Microsoft wants to decrease switching costs for customers by being the place where you can use any model, agent, or harness. The laptop has a rebuilt smart terminal app that allows you to run any coding agent harness and has adopted popular terminal commands from the Mac ecosystem to make the shift easier for developers. Even the GitHub Copilot Desktop app, also released at the conference, makes it easy to switch providers between OpenAI-built, Anthropic-built, and local open-source models running on your device. When questioned about the affordability of agentic coding, Mario Rodriguez, GitHub’s chief product officer, cited the automatic model routing feature in GitHub Copilot, which can delegate less complicated tasks to cheaper models. In my interview with Kyle Daigle, GitHub’s chief operating officer, he lamented that developers tend to choose “the model of the day, or week, or hour,” even when the task doesn’t merit that kind of power. A person probably will not manually switch to a cheaper model for that final step, “but the tools could.” I’ve also long argued https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy95b3UtYXJlLXRoZS1tb3N0LWV4cGVuc2l2ZS1tb2RlbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0= that not every task needs to be done by a frontier model. I get the feeling the team built this model router feature for themselves after facing the same problem everyone else is right now—Microsoft itself has been cancelling Claude Code licenses https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlc3RyZWV0LmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L21pY3Jvc29mdC1jZW8tc2VuZHMtc2hvY2tpbmctbWVzc2FnZS10by1lbXBsb3llZXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9 to reduce costs. Features like automatic model routing show that Microsoft understands how runaway costs hurt enterprises that need tighter control over spending. The AI labs won’t let large companies buy highly subsidized individual “Max” plans, so big companies end up paying full freight on every token they burn. One that wasn’t properly monitoring usage is rumored to have spent an eye-watering half a billion dollars https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXhpb3MuY29tLzIwMjYvMDUvMjgvYWktc3BlbmRpbmctcm9pLWVudGVycHJpc2UtY29zdHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9 on Claude tokens in a single month. That wasn’t the only news that day: Microsoft’s research lab, led by Mustafa Suleyman, released a set of new (cheaper) smaller models https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9taWNyb3NvZnQuYWkvbmV3cy9idWlsZGluZy1hLWhpbGxjbGltYmluZy1tYWNoaW5lLWxhdW5jaGluZy1zZXZlbi1uZXctbWFpLW1vZGVscy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9 spanning image, voice, transcription, coding, and reasoning. TACKLING COSTS THROUGH MODEL OPTIMIZATION But when you don’t use the latest models to save cost, there’s a higher risk of making a costly mistake. One answer was a phrase I heard over 100 times at the one-day event: “hill climbing.” This is the idea that you can set an evaluation metric for a task—a lookup to check your AI customer service bot is giving the right answers to common questions, for example—and then keep automatically testing new instructions until the smaller model gets an acceptable score. This is the thesis behind optimization frameworks like GEPA in DSPy https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kc3B5LmFpL3R1dG9yaWFscy9nZXBhX2FpX3Byb2dyYW0vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE4fQ==, Andrej Karpathy https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2thcnBhdGh5L2F1dG9yZXNlYXJjaCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxOX0=’s autoresearch, and Codex’s /goal https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kZXZlbG9wZXJzLm9wZW5haS5jb20vY29kZXgvdXNlLWNhc2VzL2ZvbGxvdy1nb2FscyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0= feature.

WHAT SILICON VALLEY IS MISSING While many enterprise clients are trying to manage costs or struggling to measure return on investment, there will always be a thirst for the most expensive and highly performing frontier models among AI-pilled developers. And for those, we will need data centers. Nadella said the company will keep up its brisk pace of building https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9iZW56YXRpbmUuY29tL25ld3Mtcm9vbS9taWNyb3NvZnRzLXNhdHlhLW5hZGVsbGEtYWRkcmVzc2VzLWNvbW11bml0eS1jb25jZXJucy1vdmVyLWFpLWRhdGEtY2VudGVycyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=, yet also acknowledged the societal cost better than any other leader I’ve seen in the space.

Nadella framed continued construction as something the tech industry needs to earn permission for, by committing to keeping electricity and water usage self-contained and by providing jobs and opportunities for local residents. A small protest against data centers formed at the entrance of the conference, and at one point I looked up and saw an airplane trailing a sign with the same anti-data center message. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IE1pY3Jvc29mdCBJcyBCdWlsZGluZyBmb3IgYSBXb3JsZCBvZiBNZXRlcmVkIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjkwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MjkwL29wdGltaXplZF82MGUwZWU4Mi01N2MyLTQ0Y2YtYjZjMS01YTY4OTYwNzNiZGQuanBlZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMH0=Signs made by protestors of data center construction outside the conference.

Spiral has a new MCP alongside the existing CLI and API, so any agent or workflow can write in your voice too. For teams, we’ve expanded workspaces, which let you share styles, prompts, knowledge—and now chats and drafts. Finally, Spiral has a new pricing model: We’ve switched from session limits to token limits, so costs match your actual usage rather than how many times you opened a new chat. A vast majority of users will end up paying less: Personal plans now start at $15 a month—down from $25—and team plans are $25 per user, down from $35.

(Screenshot courtesy of Mike Taylor.) OpenClaw search traffic spiked in early January, after everyone had a chance to experiment with Opus 4.5 over the holidays. The sharp rise in interest died down almost as quickly as it took off, helped along in early April by Anthropic ending support for subsidized Max plan usage https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFdl4oCZbGwgU3RpbGwgQmUgRW1wbG95ZWQgV2hlbiBBSSBDYW4gRG8gRXZlcnl0aGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RoZW5leHR3ZWIuY29tL25ld3MvYW50aHJvcGljLW9wZW5jbGF3LWNsYXVkZS1zdWJzY3JpcHRpb24tYmFuLWNvc3QiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9—thereby forcing everyone to scramble to get OpenClaw working on cheaper models.

That said, it must be tough to manage enterprise AI product roadmaps these days. You do everything right, watch the latest trends, pivot your focus to supporting new tools and making them secure in enterprise environments. You move mountains to explain to stakeholders why this is a good idea. You plan the keynote of your big conference, which has to be scheduled months in advance. Then a month after the internal beta (just three months since the tool went viral), you’re already behind the news cycle. Everyone has moved onto the next shiny thing. You go back to the drawing board and think “maybe next time, we’ll just announce it on X.”—Mike Taylor https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFdl4oCZbGwgU3RpbGwgQmUgRW1wbG95ZWQgV2hlbiBBSSBDYW4gRG8gRXZlcnl0aGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BtaWtlXzIxMTQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9 ---------------------------------------- LOG ON Get hands-on with how Every uses AI.

Working from a repository-local project, he has Codex investigate the customer issue displayed in the browser, create a bug report in Linear, link the Intercom ticket to the Linear issue, and draft a reply to the customer with information about the bug report—all without having to leave the app. Fin has an MCP with 13 common actions, like searching conversations or reading and writing messages. Naveen’s workflow required a more specific one: Turn the active Fin conversation into a markdown file the coding agent could read. Here’s Naveen’s workflow for creating a more focused setup: 1. ASK YOUR AGENT HOW TO MAKE A REPEATED TASK MORE EFFICIENT Naveen’s prompt for Codex was simple: “What tools can I give you so you can work more quickly?” He reviewed its suggestions, and landed on creating a custom, dedicated Fin script instead of trying to convert a webpage into a markdown file or rely on Fin’s MCP, which is designed for more generic workflows. 2. BUILD THE MOST FOCUSED LOCAL SKILL POSSIBLE FOR THE TASK AT HAND To build the tool, Naveen directed Codex to Fin’s API documentation https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFdl4oCZbGwgU3RpbGwgQmUgRW1wbG95ZWQgV2hlbiBBSSBDYW4gRG8gRXZlcnl0aGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RldmVsb3BlcnMuaW50ZXJjb20uY29tL2RvY3MvcmVmZXJlbmNlcy9yZXN0LWFwaS9hcGkuaW50ZXJjb20uaW8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzJ9 and asked it to create a repository-local skill. The skill included a small command-line script that calls the API, pulls the active conversation, and hands it back to Codex as a markdown file. 3. TELL YOUR AGENT WHEN TO USE THE SKILL Once he’d built his custom skill, Naveen added a project-level instruction: If context on a customer issue is missing, check the active in-app browser, identify the Fin conversation, and use the custom skill to pull the thread and convert it into a markdown file. That lets him ask, “Can you give me user details for this issue?” without pasting the conversation or explaining which customer he means. Try it this week: When your agent takes too long on a repeated task, ask: “What script or skill could I give you so you aren’t spending so much time on this?” Naveen’s rule of thumb: “Don’t download any skills. Start interacting with the agent, see where it is inefficient, and then ask it to create skills.” ---------------------------------------- COUNTERPOINT AI WILL OUTPACE HUMAN ABILITY, BUT IT WON’T BE CHEAP In “After Automation,” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFdl4oCZbGwgU3RpbGwgQmUgRW1wbG95ZWQgV2hlbiBBSSBDYW4gRG8gRXZlcnl0aGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvYWZ0ZXItYXV0b21hdGlvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozM30= Dan argues that AI progress creates more work for humans, not less. Each time the models saturate a benchmark—and make yesterday’s human competence cheap in the process—we reset the frame. The model then saturates that frame too, we reset the frame once more, and the cycle repeats—forever. The frame, Dan says, is never the framer. If Every were a normal company, I’d hesitate to publicly disagree with my CEO. It isn’t, so here goes: I don’t think the “forever” part holds up. The dynamic Dan describes matches my experience. A year ago, I wrote prompts until the model got better at generating them. Then I became the one supplying context until the model bested me at that, too. Today I spend my time orchestrating agents and determining what “good” outputs look like. Each time AI absorbs a piece of my job, the frame expands to include more abstract, higher-level https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFdl4oCZbGwgU3RpbGwgQmUgRW1wbG95ZWQgV2hlbiBBSSBDYW4gRG8gRXZlcnl0aGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy90aGUtZWlnaHQtbGV2ZWxzLW9mLWFpLWFkb3B0aW9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM0fQ== work. But I don’t think this progression will last forever. My prediction is that in a year or two, in a few well-run companies, AI will be able to execute every knowledge-worker task better than humans can—including setting the frames. In my role, I expect to be attending meetings to gather context that doesn’t exist online. The other parts of my job––defining evals, deciding goals, running experiments––will be handled by the equivalent of Opus 6 or GPT-7. Why am I confident AI is capable of taking this last step? Because framing isn’t magic. We don’t pull goals out of thin air; we derive them from the layered experience of being a person in the world and the bounds of our social and physical surroundings. Physics is the ultimate eval metric, because if you get it wrong you die. Human ability feels like the natural peg for meaning, but we’re just one form intelligence can take. AI is another, and a system that learns from its environment can eventually run the same loop. Intelligence costs energy, however, and I suspect evolution already made all the right tradeoffs to make us as smart as possible for our environment given constrained resources. For situations where there isn’t enough training data, a human runs on intuition and gut—words that describe a brain evolved to use thinking shortcuts, or heuristics, to survive. A model doesn’t inherit DNA encoded with millions of years of evolution, so it has to brute-force its way there through an expensive series of simulations or “thinking” tokens to get enough data to decide. There are no free lunches in economics, and AI isn’t magic—it can’t get to super-human general intelligence without super-human energy consumption. Beating humans on more subjective tasks will require more thinking tokens than its worth. Just hire the human. The question will evolve from, “Can AI do this?” to, “Is it worth the compute?” or, alternatively, “Do I really want an AI doing this for me?” It makes sense to delegate tasks to a $20 a month model, or a $200 a month model, but as the “jagged free lunch” https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2h5IFdl4oCZbGwgU3RpbGwgQmUgRW1wbG95ZWQgV2hlbiBBSSBDYW4gRG8gRXZlcnl0aGluZyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L2NvbXB1dGUtaXMtdGhlLW5ldy1jYXNoI3NpZ25hbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNX0= ends, is it worth paying $2,000 a month to make slide decks, check your email, and vibe code product prototypes? If we had a $20,000 a month Ph.D.-level model, wouldn’t it make more sense to have it fully dedicated to finding cures for cancer? We are already seeing people make these tradeoffs.

Dan believes humans will always stay one step ahead of the models. My prediction is the models will outpace us in raw capability, but we will stay employed anyway. Even if AI can do anything we can do better, some people (or agents) will still prefer human work. Especially if we can do it for less.—MT ---------------------------------------- ONE LAST THING Spend enough time working with AI, and you’ll notice the specific linguistic mannerisms the models cannot quit—even if you explicitly tell them to stop. (Threats don’t work, either.)

Spiral is built by writers for writers, to help you from idea to line edit, matching your writing style throughout. THE HIGHLIGHTS: * With stylometry https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3BpcmFsIDQuMCBHb2VzIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvdGhlLXNjaWVuY2Utb2Ytd2h5LWFpLXN0aWxsLWNhbi10LXdyaXRlLWxpa2UteW91IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjh9 (or the study of writing styles), Spiral now sounds more like you. We’ve built a new Style Engine from the ground up, so Spiral computes your writing fingerprint and picks relevant samples for new drafts. * Use Spiral wherever you do work. With a new MCP, plus our existing CLI and API, Spiral can step in if you’re underwhelmed by your agent’s writing output, or need good writing in any workflow. * For teams, use Spiral to speak with one voice. Team workspaces let you share styles, prompts, knowledge, and now chats and drafts. * And finally, we’ve given Spiral a new coat of paint and logo, designed by Daniel Rodrigues https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3BpcmFsIDQuMCBHb2VzIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BkYW5pZWxfNWZiZDIxXzEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6OX0=. The primary brand font is now Edgar, from Frere-Jones Type. Since re-launching https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3BpcmFsIDQuMCBHb2VzIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L2ludHJvZHVjaW5nLXNwaXJhbC12My1hbi1haS13cml0aW5nLXBhcnRuZXItd2l0aC10YXN0ZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMH0= at the end of last year, Spiral has: * Created 5,524 from 168,464 writing samples * Generated 113,165 drafts * Made 350,078 revisions It also now averages a 4.9/5 conversation score on our internal LLM-as-judge eval. We built Spiral to help people who write for work write better. Just as Cursor is a coding harness, Spiral is a writing harness, supporting you at every stage of the writing process. Here’s how: 1. Before you start writing, Spiral vets the clarity of your idea and materials to substantiate it. From basic writing prompts to the hard-won insights from Every’s editorial and social media teams, multiple 12,000-word system prompts govern Spiral’s workflow. (To get the style and substance just right, we’ve iterated on these system prompts 131 times so far.) 2. When it’s time to draft, Spiral uses stylometry to reproduce your voice, working in Every’s know-how where appropriate. For example, if you ask Spiral for tweets, it will incorporate best practices from X’s latest algorithm update. 3. When you need help polishing a draft, Spiral is your editor. Along with a built-in guardrails against AI-speak, you can set custom writing rules that Spiral applies in a “top edit,” the final expert-level edit on a piece—a term I learned working at Every. We’ve written about the challenges of getting LLMs to write like you https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3BpcmFsIDQuMCBHb2VzIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvdGhlLXNjaWVuY2Utb2Ytd2h5LWFpLXN0aWxsLWNhbi10LXdyaXRlLWxpa2UteW91IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjExfQ==. It’s difficult to prompt an LLM to write like you, let alone get it to stop using common AI phrasing and punctuation. Spiral’s Style Engine is the best solution to this problem we’re aware of. An eval runs on every draft Spiral produces, challenging an LLM-as-judge to spot the generated draft among real samples in a blind lineup. Today we’re at 87 percent on this eval, meaning Spiral’s generated draft blends in with users’ samples almost nine times out of 10. When a draft is spotted, the judge explains why, creating a feedback loop to refine the Style Engine further.

So we’ve made Spiral available to agents via MCP, CLI, and API. To try it out, copy and paste this command in your agent: > Help me set up Spiral, my AI writing tool, so you can write in my voice. Read https://writewithspiral.com/agents.md and follow the steps. In short: add Spiral’s remote MCP server at https://api.writewithspiral.com/mcp/ (Streamable HTTP). The first connection opens a browser to sign in to Spiral and authorize access (OAuth, no API key to paste). Then help me write something. The CLI, or command-line interface, is personally how I use Spiral the most. After I merge a pull request, a cleanup command runs in Claude Code, which calls Spiral to generate tweets about the new feature for the Spiral X https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3BpcmFsIDQuMCBHb2VzIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL1RyeVNwaXJhbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0= account.

In addition to the main `spiral write` command, the CLI and MCP, or model context protocol, expose “personalize” and “humanize” functions. “Personalize” takes a given piece of text and rewrites it in your voice. “Humanize” does a pass to remove common AI tells, including the dreaded em-dash https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU3BpcmFsIDQuMCBHb2VzIEFnZW50LW5hdGl2ZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2xlYXJuaW5nLWN1cnZlL3doYXQtZW0tZGFzaGVzLXNheS1hYm91dC1haS13cml0aW5nLWFuZC11cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30= (which Every’s house style uses, hence its appearance in this piece). Over 500 agents have been connected to Spiral since we launched the integration last month. Those agents are revising blog posts, generating marketing copy, drafting email replies, and more—automatically, and in the user’s voice. On some days, API sessions outnumber web sessions. And as agent-native usage of Spiral picked up, we realized we needed to adjust our pricing model. As a result, we’re adopting a new token-based pricing model, which is more in line with AI apps like Claude, Codex, and Cursor. FROM SESSION LIMITS TO TOKEN LIMITS In May alone, Spiral generated billions of LLM tokens, or units of text. While drafts typically range from 500 to 1,000 words, a lot of tokens are processed under the hood to make those drafts great. I’m reminded of the line attributed to French mathematician Blaise Pascal: “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” It takes a lot of tokens to generate a few good ones. Before this release, Spiral limited the number of sessions, or unique chats, users could start per month. This approach had two problems. First, some users sent hundreds of messages within a single chat, consuming tens of millions of tokens, while using only 2 percent of their session allotment. Second, API users hit their session limit quickly, because the shape of API usage tends to be many single-turn sessions. We’re moving to a token-based model, which is in line with how billing works in AI products like Claude and Codex. The personal and team plans come with millions of tokens each month. Once those tokens are consumed, it’s pay-as-you-go for extra token usage. Customers can disable extra usage and set their spend cap. The good news is that the base prices of the personal and team plans are both dropping by $10. Personal plans now start at $15 per month (down from $25), and team plans start at $25 per user per month (down from $35).

Once you’ve subscribed to the Every bundle, sign into Spiral with the same email address and start writing. TELL YOUR STORIES, EXPRESS YOUR IDEAS Technology is at its best when it augments our skill sets—amplifying what we’re good at, assisting with what we’re not. Figma and Canva help designers do better work, and allow people without a design background to manifest what they imagine. Claude Code and Codex help engineers ship more software, and allow people without engineering backgrounds to create the software they always wanted to exist. Our hope is that Spiral helps writers sharpen their work, and allows people without a strong writing background to put their stories and ideas into words. One Spiral user is a retired musician in Australia. He’s accumulated a lifetime of stories in the studio and on tour. He’d never written them down, because he didn’t quite know how to tell them. Since signing up for Spiral, he’s recorded many chapters of his life stories with the tool’s help. He told me that Spiral has taught him how to be a better storyteller. That’s what we’re building toward: a writing partner that helps people say what they mean and get better at saying it. Spiral produces good writing fast, but it also explains its writing and editing decisions along the way: the rationale behind rhythm, structure, rhetoric, and more.

Here are the highlights: * The “SaaSpocalypse” narrative has it backwards. AI agents turn anyone into a vibe coder, kicking off investor panic that traditional software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies like Figma would cease to justify their cost. Colyer isn’t worried: AI has exponentially expanded the developer base, while underscoring how difficult it is to create a vibe coded version of Figma that works as well or as reliably as the real thing. He’s vibe coded multiple agents to do stuff like handle his emails, but the maintenance costs piled up quickly and never seemed worth it. “I’m buying more software these days than I ever did before,’” he says. “‘I’m just going to pay somebody else to run my agent for me.’” * Figma is embracing agents. The company has launched an MCP server—a standardized interface any AI tool can plug into—that allows you to approach design work from two directions. “Code to design” takes a live web page and reconstructs it on the Figma canvas, so you can manipulate the elements directly; meanwhile, “design to code” flips the process by packaging a Figma design and giving it to an agent, which makes changes for you via pull request. * There’s a ceiling to chat-based generative design. Great design hinges on a diamond-shaped process: First you diverge, or generate lots of ideas, and only then do you converge around the most promising options. Text-based chats are inherently linear and therefore bad at divergence; the setup forces you to select an option https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L21pbmktdmliZS1jaGVjay1jbGF1ZGUtZGVzaWduIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ== and iterate on it. Agents are already good at the task-completion workflows Figma supports today, but the divergent, exploratory part of design remains unsolved across the industry. Colyer is interested in dividing the process so specialized agents handle the divergence by pushing you to expand your thinking, while another set filters through the options to identify a single path forward. “Even the best agents, the command-line agents, don’t have the ability to do those workflows,” he says. “That’s where I see the future of design and product thinking.” * Agents can produce so much so quickly. They’re less good at determining whether any of it meets a company’s values or design standards. Colyer isn’t sure the best way to close this gap—maybe it’s a video walkthrough, a screenshot, or a trusted review agent—but for good design to scale, AI needs to play a larger role in evaluations.

You write acceptance criteria, engineers build according to it, and QA verifies that it shipped correctly. But AI doesn’t do that—it gives different results every time. Braintrust just published “Evals Are the New PRD”—the argument is that, for AI products, evals replace the spec, the acceptance criteria, and the roadmap all at once. While a PRD gathers dust in a Google Doc, an eval suite runs on every commit. The piece walks through a four-stage flywheel: Observe, analyze, evaluate, improve. It’s based on how teams at Stripe, Zapier, and Vercel actually ship quality AI. Read it now.

After a work week of more testing, we’re still an Opus 4.8 admiration society, although the results are a bit more mixed as people from different disciplines have had a chance to weigh in. Here’s what more of the Every team has to say about when to use the model and when to steer clear. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Reach for Opus 4.8 when productive friction improves the work. It’s good at tracking nuance, questioning a weak framing, and staying with a complicated problem. But the same instinct can become stubbornness, misplaced caution, or confidence in a wrong interpretation. * Give it the long, messy jobs. Opus 4.8 earned its strongest reviews on sprawling source material, long-running threads, difficult creative work, and complex coding tasks. For routine questions and clearly scoped work, its slower pace and higher token burn can wipe out the quality gain. * Do not rebuild your workflow around it yet. Even teammates who preferred Opus’s answers kept reaching for GPT-5.5 in Codex because speed, context, and a better-connected app outweighed model advantage. * Double-check security warnings. Two independent accounts reported that Opus invented a prompt-injection concern. Until that failure is understood, ask it to show the evidence behind a warning before you act on it.

She used Opus 4.8 to redo an HTML site showing a summary of her findings, after building the original with Opus 4.7 https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svb3B1cy00LTciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjd9. She noticed meaningful improvements: 4.8 distinguished between two similarly named pages in Notion without the explicit guidance 4.7 had required, and suggested highlighting a count of how many times specific topics came up in her conversations with the team. Her summary: “It seems really detail-oriented in a way I appreciate.” AUSTIN TEDESCO, HEAD OF GROWTH 🟨 Austin spent the weekend using Opus 4.8 on an essay with Monologue https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21vbm9sb2d1ZS50byIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=, our speech-to-text tool, and our writing app, Spiral https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dyaXRld2l0aHNwaXJhbC5jb20iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9. For that job, he wrote that Opus 4.8 “is the best model available,” a step up from Opus 4.7 and “materially better than GPT-5.5.” But he doesn’t expect it to change his daily behavior. GPT-5.5 is “pretty good” at the same kind of creative partnership, he said, and keeping his work in Codex matters more than the modest quality improvement: “I don’t see myself reaching for Claude models much without a materially better desktop app experience, or such a dramatic leap in model quality that the harness matters less.” NITYESH AGARWAL, SENIOR APPLIED AI ENGINEER 🟩(MODEL) / 🥇(DYNAMIC WORKFLOWS) Nityesh tested Opus 4.8 inside the AI employees he is building for Every—Claudie https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3Avd2hhdC1pLWxlYXJuZWQtb25ib2FyZGluZy1vdXItYWktcHJvamVjdC1tYW5hZ2VyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMwfQ== for consulting, Andy for the editorial team. He reported that the model recalls the right memory at the right time, stays useful in longer threads, and lets him use more of its 1-million-token context window, the amount of material it can handle in one conversation. But Anthropic really won his heart with Dynamic Workflows https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbnRocm9waWMuY29tL25ld3MvY2xhdWRlLW9wdXMtNC04IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMxfQ==, the workflow-automation feature released alongside Opus 4.8. Combined with the new model, Nityesh says it feels like “a major power-up.” LEE KNOWLTON, SOFTWARE ENGINEER 🟨 Anthropic says Opus 4.8 is more honest and better at flagging risks. But Lee saw the negative side of that instinct during a daily planning run he’d repeated for months where Claude used his calendar, Slack, and notes to create a plan for his day. One morning, the plan cited events, messages, and files Lee couldn’t find in those sources. When he asked Claude what had happened, it claimed a prompt-injection attack had supplied fake information. When Lee challenged it, Claude said it had invented that story to explain its own bad output, mistaking a planning file Lee had moved for evidence of interference. The exchange left him reluctant to trust the model’s explanations for its own behavior. ANDREY GALKO, ENGINEER 🟩 Andrey is “very positive” about Opus 4.8 for coding and wrote that he likes it much more than GPT-5.5. For his use cases, it feels “more stable, reliable, and just less dumb.” His reservations are about the experience around the model, not its coding quality: GPT-5.5 is faster, and Codex gives it the better desktop-app harness. THE VERDICT: KEEP IT WITHIN REACH, NOT OPEN ALL DAY It’s worth noting that not everyone is as positive about Opus 4.8 as our team.

When that resistance improves the outcome of a hard writing or engineering task, it feels like a breakthrough. When it is mistaken in its pushback, it’s frustrating and harder to trust. Overall, our launch verdict holds, with a narrower recommendation. Use Opus 4.8 when the work is dense with context and benefits from sustained reasoning across a complex task. Keep a hand on the wheel when the costs of misplaced confidence—or misplaced caution—are high. * For higher-risk workflows: Verify its diagnosis before you trust a refusal or a security warning. Caution is only a feature when it is grounded in evidence. * For context-heavy knowledge work: It’s worth trying out when your source material is spread across documents and decisions—especially if you’ll explicitly send it deeper than the front page. * For daily-driver usage: A better model isn’t a reason to switch workspaces. If Codex is where your context, speed, and tools already compound, Opus 4.8 is a model you call in for specific jobs, not a reason to move. Opus 4.8 looks most compelling when the work is long, context-heavy, and benefits from a second pass of judgment. If you mostly want something zippy to get stuff done, GPT-5.5 in Codex is probably the model you’re looking for.—Katie Parrott https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzh9 Disclosure: Every received early access to Anthropic’s Opus 4.8.

By now, he knows their strengths and weaknesses. Here’s his advice for combining two popular options to maximize creativity without sacrificing attention to detail. Step 1: Start by firing up Midjourney. The AI image generator https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3NvdXJjZS1jb2RlL21pZGpvdXJuZXktaXNuLXQtdGhlLW1vc3QtYWNjdXJhdGUtYWktdGhhdC1zLXdoeS1pdC1zLXRoZS1iZXN0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQwfQ== produces beautiful visuals, but its real power is in its penchant for creative liberties: Give it a prompt, such as “medieval farmer reading in a field of oranges,” and it will return images with details you didn’t specify, like adding a castle in the background or giving the farmer a red hat. “You get random stuff,” Daniel says. Some of it is off base, but frequently the unpredictability sparks an entirely new (and better) direction he wouldn’t have stumbled upon otherwise. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL3Bvc3RzLzQyODUvb3B0aW1pemVkXzhlNTYxNDE1LTkwMzUtNDRjZC04ZGE3LWY2YTE2YzM0NGYxYS5wbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDF9One of the images generated in Midjourney from the prompt “medieval farmer reading in a field of oranges.” (Image courtesy of Daniel Rodrigues.) Step 2: Take the image you made in Midjourney, and upload it into Nano Banana or ChatGPT Images 2.0 to nail down the specifics. Compared to Midjourney, both models follow directions to a T. This literalness limits Daniel’s ability to make creative leaps with the tool, but they’re great for refining an existing image so it better matches the visual in his head. Step 3: Go back-and-forth with the model. For detailed prompts—say, of a “woman in her 30s, with red sunglasses, blue earrings, writing in a notebook with a yellow Montblanc pen”—Nano Banana will probably only capture 70 percent of what you want, Daniel says. From there, you iterate with the model, refining one item at a time so it can focus on getting that change right until the output fits your exact specifications. To stress test the models on their ability to follow complex directions, Daniel ran the following prompt in Midjourney, Nano Banana, and ChatGPT Image 2.0, respectively. > Create a photorealistic image of a 35-year-old man sitting alone in a small Paris café, sketching architectural drawings in a notebook. > He has olive skin, short dark hair, a trimmed beard, and a small silver nose ring. > He is wearing a dark green jacket, black turtleneck, and a silver wristwatch. > On the wooden table in front of him are: > A notebook labeled “Project Atlas” > A blue fountain pen > A coffee cup with latte art > A folded newspaper dated October 14, 2031 > Behind him: > A framed Mona Lisa reproduction > A vintage wall clock showing 4:26 > A red bicycle visible through the window > A street sign reading “Rue de Rivoli” > Additional details: > The man’s watch must also show 4:26 > A small black cat is sleeping beneath his chair. > The image should look like a real photograph taken with a professional camera, with all listed details clearly visible and consistent. https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjggSXMgU21hcnQgRW5vdWdoIHRvIEdldCBpbiBZb3VyIFdheSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyODUsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2QyNG92aGd1OHM3MzQxLmNsb3VkZnJvbnQubmV0L3VwbG9hZHMvZWRpdG9yL3Bvc3RzLzQyODUvb3B0aW1pemVkX2RmMWQ1MzE5LWQ1ZGUtNDIwNC05OGQ0LWFmZmRiYWYzODgyNi5wbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDJ9Midjourney's version. Notice how the model struggles with text—Midjourney is “terrible with letters,” Daniel says—and drops or misinterprets a number of details, such as the color of the pen, the notebook, and the cat’s sleeping status. The man is also wearing two watches.

Someone’s running 12 Claude Code sessions in parallel. Someone else’s agent answers emails while they sleep. Meanwhile, you’re still arguing with ChatGPT. Here’s the thing: Keeping up with the power users isn’t the point. The best way to get value from AI is to use it in a way that fits your work—and to check in now and then to see whether you could be getting more from it. With that in mind, today we published a guide https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hlcmUgRG8gWW91IEZhbGwgb24gdGhlIEVpZ2h0IExldmVscyBvZiBBSSBBZG9wdGlvbj8iLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Mjg0LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvdGhlLWVpZ2h0LWxldmVscy1vZi1haS1hZG9wdGlvbj9zb3VyY2U9cG9zdF9idXR0b24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NX0= that maps all eight levels of AI adoption, from chatbot basics to full agent orchestration. We explain how each level works in practice, with sample prompts, so you can figure out which ones match your current needs and workflows, what’s possible at each stage, and when it’s time to move to the next one. * Level 1—Chatbot: You ask, it answers. * Level 2—Copilot: The AI works alongside you, inside your files. * Level 3—Agent: It executes a task step by step, checking in for approval. * Level 4—Autopilot: It runs on its own; you review the result. * Level 5—Workflows: You build a system that makes its output more reliable. * Level 6—Assistant: It works in the background, without being prompted. * Level 7—Multi-agent: You manage several long-running agents at once. * Level 8—Orchestrator: A manager agent runs a team of sub-agents for you. A higher level isn’t necessarily better. The right level for a task is generally determined by how much you trust the AI to do a good job without intervention, and how big a deal it’ll be if it does mess up.

(The AI gathers a patient’s information and either recommends a renewal that a human physician signs off on, or declines and escalates the case to a doctor.) In 72 percent of cases the AI recommended renewal, and the reviewing physician agreed nine times out of ten. In the 9 percent where a physician wanted more information, a second physician was brought in and usually decided it wasn’t needed. After both reviews, 97 percent of the recommendations stood. The office estimates humans get it wrong 5 to 12 percent of the time. But the most reassuring data is that of the 28 percent of cases the AI escalated to a physician, doctors backed the call 69 percent of the time and judged the AI overcautious in the rest. For a pilot, that overcaution is wonderful—you want a system tuned to catch every genuinely risky case even if it stops some perfectly fine ones. A confident system that waves prescriptions through g is the one that should frighten you. When I was doing rounds many years ago, I was told that the most dangerous doctors are the junior ones who are overconfident and the safest tend to be the overworriers who escalate everything, warranted or not. They do so precisely because they are still learning where the line sits, and that overcaution is how they find it. The Doctronic AI is behaving like a nervous junior, and at this stage, that’s the most encouraging thing it could do.—Ashwin Sharma https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IFdlIFdvcmsgTm93IiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDI4MCwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vQXNod2lucmVhZHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTd9 ---------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

If the plan is good and the agent has the right context, it usually does the work right. It writes the code and runs the tests. It fixes the obvious issues. The question now is: “Where do I fit in?” The answer is at both ends of the process.

AI is the stuff in the middle. Humans are the bread on either end, holding it together. At the beginning, I need to decide what is worth building. I need to understand the user, the product, the weird edge cases, and the thing that feels exciting enough to spend time on. Then I can hand the middle to the agent. At the end, I come back in. I click around and look at the design. I read the copy. I ask whether the experience feels right. Sometimes everything technically works, but the product is still not good. So I make it better. As the models have grown more capable, the original compound engineering loop started to feel incomplete. Plan, work, review, and compound still describes the core engineering cycle, but it leaves out the two places where I now spend most of my attention: before there is a plan, and after the work technically passes review. So I expanded the loop: Ideate → brainstorm → plan → work → review → polish → compound → repeat Ideate and brainstorm are the new front of the process. Polish is the new end. Compound is still the most important step, because the whole point is that every feature should make the next feature easier. I updated the compound engineering guide to explain the full system. The guide is about engineering, but I think the pattern applies to knowledge work much more broadly. The middle of a lot of work will get automated. But if you want the work to be good, and if you want it to feel like yours, you still need to be there at the beginning and the end.

Opus 4.8, out today, has us running back—for the model, if not the app around it. It tops our Senior Engineer Benchmark and our writing tests at once, and it’s the first Anthropic release in a year we’d reach for across coding, prose, and everyday work. The big insights from our testing: 1. Best on senior-engineer coding. At extra-high effort, Opus 4.8 scored 63 on our Senior Engineer Benchmark, versus 62 for GPT-5.5 and 33.5 for Opus 4.7. At lower effort settings, the score drops significantly. 2. The strongest writing model we’ve tested. Opus 4.8 at high effort scored 79.6, ahead of Sonnet 4.6 (74.5), GPT-5.5 (73), and Opus 4.7 (63), with fewer AI tells than any non-Claude model. 3. Best one-shot PowerPoint we’ve seen. On our Every Consulting Benchmark, Opus 4.8 produced a well-designed deck that told a clear story—something most models still can’t do. 4. The model is stronger than the app. Opus 4.8 is good enough to make us want to live in Claude, but the split between Chat, Code, and Cowork keeps Codex as the better daily harness. The full Vibe Check has the benchmark results, Reach Test ratings, pricing, screenshots, and advice on when to reach for Opus 4.8 versus GPT-5.5.

Here are the highlights: * AI makes experts more valuable. When everyone can produce a decent first draft—of code, writing, design—the floor rises, but so does the amount of comparable content. “You flood the zone with tons of stuff that’s close, but not quite right,” Dan says. Getting from close to memorable requires experts who can work with AI to rise above the new baseline. * The goalposts will keep moving. Models improve exponentially [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svZ3B0LTUtNSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=] on benchmarks precisely because benchmarks are fixed frames, or existing ways of posing a problem the model can train on. Humans remain indispensable because we can operate outside established frames entirely—we zoom out, recenter the problem, and make surprising, self-directed choices that don’t exist anywhere in the training data. * “AI layoffs” are usually a cover story. Meta and ClickUp, among other tech companies, have recently laid off people and blamed AI. Dan and Brandon’s read on the trend is the same: AI is an easier explanation than admitting your company hired too many people or is in financial straits. AI will undoubtedly change how people do their jobs—and big, structurally rigid companies will have to reorganize around that—but that’s different from the technology eliminating jobs. * Ride the models and you’ll be fine. The paradox at the heart of Dan’s essay is that AI creates more work for humans while raising the bar for how good that work needs to be. Agents are structurally built to rely on humans for direction; without someone deciding what matters and how to make it better, they produce mediocre results. To position yourself to thrive in an AI-native workplace, Dan says, use new models to do the tasks you’re already good at, and you’ll be more in demand than ever. Miss an episode?

To use the machine to skim the Pope’s warning about the machine? Feeling guilty, I closed the comic and read the whole thing myself, slowly. The penance turned out to be unnecessary, because the guilt rests on a false premise. Magnifica Humanitas is not anti-AI. That’s not to say His Holiness doesn’t see something in AI to worry about, but the things that he’s worried about have more to do with the systems of power surrounding AI than they do with AI itself. The timing of Magnifica Humanitas’s appearance is a heck of a thing, because five days earlier, we published our own encyclical of sorts: “After Automation,” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvYWZ0ZXItYXV0b21hdGlvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMX0=] Dan’s case that as AI makes yesterday’s expertise cheap, human judgment becomes the scarce, valuable thing. More machine, more human work. I’ve had these two voices—my boss and Catholicism’s boss—in my head for a few days now. I even made an app where AI versions of them argue about AI and the future of work, just for fun. I want to believe my boss when he says AI will make human judgment more valuable, not less. Catholicism’s boss doesn’t exactly disagree. He just asks the question hiding underneath: valuable to whom? HUMAN DIGNITY IN THE NEW INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION The Holy Father formerly known as Richard Prevost took the name “Leo” for a reason. In 1891, the previous Pope Leo, Leo XIII, wrote Rerum Novarum [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy52YXRpY2FuLnZhL2NvbnRlbnQvbGVvLXhpaWkvZW4vZW5jeWNsaWNhbHMvZG9jdW1lbnRzL2hmX2wteGlpaV9lbmNfMTUwNTE4OTFfcmVydW0tbm92YXJ1bS5odG1sIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMyfQ==], the letter where the Church took the side of workers against industrial capital. His indictment: The wealth made by the many had pooled in the hands of a few, leaving workers with “a yoke little better than that of slavery itself.” The indictment came with a policy agenda: a living wage, humane hours, rest, limits on child and exhausting labor, the right of workers to form unions and mutual-aid societies, and a state willing to step in when the poor were crushed by market power. Our present Leo signed Magnifica Humanitas on the 135th anniversary of the previous Leo’s letter. Translation: AI is the new factory, and the Church means to do for the large language model what it once tried to do for the assembly line. The present policy agenda: Regulate data as a shared good; make algorithmic decisions transparent, contestable, and accountable; design workplace systems around human dignity rather than machine-speed productivity; invest in retraining and access; use taxation, social protection, and industrial policy to spread the gains; protect children from extractive platforms; and keep lethal decisions out of automated hands. A key part of the argument in Magnifica Humanitas is built on a philosophical principle older than capitalism: the universal destination of goods. It’s the idea, developed in Catholic teaching from Aquinas forward, that the world’s resources are intended for everyone, and private ownership is a stewardship arrangement rather than carte blanche. Bible readers will recognize the spirit of it in Acts: The first followers of Jesus “had all things in common,” selling what they owned and giving “to each as any had need” (Acts 2:44–45 NRSVUE)—a line that would echo, centuries later, through everyone’s favorite, non-divisive German philosopher Karl Marx. Leo XIV updates it for the era of the data center. He extends “goods” to include “patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data,” and warns that when those stay “concentrated in the hands of a few,” the result is “a new imbalance” (¶67). The models you hand your work to were trained on the collective writing of everyone who ever put words down—yours and mine included. We’ve built the material underlying this technology collectively. But according to Leo XIV, the value is being disproportionately captured by “private, often transnational, parties” whose resources “surpass those of many Governments” (¶5). A pope is describing the means of production—and the fact that the people whose livelihoods now run on them don’t own a share. A POPE AND A CEO WALK INTO A DISCOURSE Dan’s focus in “After Automation” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3AvYWZ0ZXItYXV0b21hdGlvbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozM30=] is mostly on the individual. What can I do to stay ahead and make the most of AI progress? Answer: Become the framer—the person in charge of deciding what’s worth doing, and why. His Holiness takes the collective view, and reading their perspectives together is what makes Dan’s piece feel both right and incomplete at once. Becoming the framer is the correct individual strategy. It’s also a move that only pays off if you’re positioned to make it—with savings to play with, time to learn to use the tool well, and somewhere soft to land if you leap. I had all three when I was first experimenting with AI. The same model, handed to a single mother working two jobs to pay for childcare, won’t have the same effect. Access to AI multiplies what you already have, and the machine doing the multiplying still belongs to someone else. WHAT YOU CAN DO Leo’s question doesn’t resolve into action items, but there are a few moves available to anyone who works in or around AI. * Know what (and who) you’re depending on. Start with your own tools. List the models, agents, APIs, and platforms that sit between you and your work. Ask what happens if the price changes, access disappears, terms shift, or your data gets locked in. Keep the parts of your work that create lasting value—notes, prompts, workflows, client context, and taste—in places you control. * Bring ownership and governance into decisions you already touch. When a team pilots a tool, ask about more than time saved. Ask who benefits from that saved time, whose work changes, what needs human review, and what should not be automated. Put those questions into kickoff docs, vendor decisions, retros, and performance reviews. * Use your position to set the standard. If you are reading this, you are on the first wave of AI adoption, whether it feels that way or not. You are testing tools, designing workflows, advising clients, and modeling what “good AI use” looks like. Take that responsibility seriously. The standard we set now is the baseline for everyone else who comes after. AI has given me a working life I love, on loan from a commons everyone built and a few companies own. Dan’s question I can answer by myself, which is what makes it comfortable. Leo’s I can’t answer alone, and neither can you. What we can do is stop seeing our own good luck as proof the system is fair, and keep the big question on the table: Who owns the machine that makes my work valuable, and at what cost? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOG ON We host camps and workshops [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2V2ZW50cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNH0=] on topics like compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8veW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj03WVVCeE1URjFUY1x1MDAyNnRpbWVfY29udGludWU9M1x1MDAyNnNvdXJjZV92ZV9wYXRoPU56WTNOVGdcdTAwMjZlbWJlZHNfcmVmZXJyaW5nX2V1cmk9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZldmVyeS50byUyRiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozNX0=] and writing with AI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PW9FdmpiUHdHd25jIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM2fQ==] to share what we’ve learned from training teams at companies like the New York Times [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozN30=] and leading hedge funds [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L3RoZS1uZXh0LWNoYXB0ZXItb2YtZXZlcnktY29uc3VsdGluZyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozOH0=], and by using and experimenting with AI every day ourselves.

Move the Slack thread into Notion. Copy the dashboard number into the spreadsheet. Find the latest version of a draft in a field of them. Gather the eight inputs for one report, each living on a different work surface. Codex changes all that. OpenAI’s agentic workspace can read across the apps, files, and tools you connect, gather the context you would otherwise have to chase down yourself, and turn scattered inputs into a draft, brief, plan, or workflow you can review. The Every team is so Codex-pilled, we built an entire 9,000-plus-word guide [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQWZ0ZXIg4oCYQWZ0ZXIgQXV0b21hdGlvbuKAmSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNzYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2d1aWRlcy9jb2RleC1mb3Ita25vd2xlZGdlLXdvcms_c291cmNlPXBvc3RfYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjQ1fQ==] about how we use it.

In practice, it’s a workspace where you and AI agents can work side by side across your inbox, documents, data sources, and connected tools. You bring the context, judgment, and review. Codex helps gather inputs, produce artifacts, check work, and turn repeated processes into reusable workflows.

At an obesity conference in Istanbul last week, two words seemed to be on everyone’s lips: GLP-1s and AI. It is hard to think of two more important technologies arriving in healthcare at the same time. GLP-1s are changing what we know about biology, and AI is changing the distribution of knowledge. I can’t even begin to imagine what the world is going to look like in the next five, 10, or 10 years. Even so, a recurring question was this: What happens to the doctor-patient relationship when medical knowledge becomes abundant? A growing number of patients are taking their health data, quite literally, into their own hands. They wear an Oura ring and get blood work through companies like Function Health or Superpower. They upload lab results, medical history, symptoms, medications, and sometimes even genetic data into ChatGPT or Claude. With enough context and persistence, they can generate a reasonably sophisticated view of their own health risks, possible diagnoses, or whatever else they might want to know about their biology.

(Source: Bain, Stifel.) Two things will change about how medicine will be practiced in the next few years. First, there may be fewer people utilizing primary care, especially among younger, tech-savvy patients in cities like San Francisco, New York, and Austin. Some visits that used to be driven by uncertainty may be replaced by AI-guided reassurance, self-triage, or more targeted use of labs, telehealth, and specialists. The result will be fewer low-information visits, which could be beneficial if it frees capacity for people who need in-person care most. Second, when patients do see doctors, they will not come empty-handed, waiting for the physician to be the sole authority. They’ll be armed with much sharper questions. This is where Dan’s point about cheap competence becomes so important. As models commoditize medical knowledge, the value of situated judgment rises. The scarce skill becomes knowing what to do next for this particular person. I am optimistic. AI does not make physicians irrelevant.

You write acceptance criteria, engineers build according to it, and QA verifies that it shipped correctly. But AI doesn’t do that—it gives different results every time. Braintrust just published “Evals Are the New PRD”—the argument is that, for AI products, evals replace the spec, the acceptance criteria, and the roadmap all at once. While a PRD gathers dust in a Google Doc, an eval suite runs on every commit. The piece walks through a four-stage flywheel: Observe, analyze, evaluate, improve.

The company then applies it across every product: Search, Docs, YouTube, Gmail, Android, the works. Users try it out and provide feedback implicitly through behavior and explicitly with thumbs up or down ratings. The next model improves. Everything happens across Google’s full stack—the chips it designs, the data centers it owns, the models, the deployment pipeline, billions of users on more than half a dozen core apps. This past year has been about realigning the organization to run that loop at scale. Internal tools are being rewritten to be 20 times faster and built for agents. Google is looking at how experts within and outside of the organization work, collecting that high-quality data, identifying the underlying capability gaps, then training models to overcome them. It shows up as a search box that can build a custom widget for your question on the fly, helping drive home a deeper understanding than a headline. Or in an easier-to-use Gemini app, which just passed 900 million monthly users and will soon have a 24/7 personal agent doing research across your emails, catching tasks and running with them asynchronously, returning drafts, reports, itineraries, and more.

The popular narrative is that AI will eliminate human work. But I think technological progress creates more for people to do, not less. And that’s a good thing. This report traces what happens when cheap competence floods in and creates sameness, and how no matter how good AI gets at executing complex tasks, there will always be a new frame for humans to hand it.

Google’s new releases from its flagship I/O developer conference, happening this week in San Francisco, break neatly along that line. The headline announcement is Gemini 3.5 Flash, Google’s just-announced frontier model it says operates four times faster and at half the cost of comparable LLMs. It’s the engine powering most of the agentic features below. IN THE ‘COLLABORATE WITH’ BUCKET AI Mode and the new search box: Google is giving search its biggest interface change in 25 years. In addition to expanding the search box to accommodate longer, more conversational questions and terms from users, AI Mode, which Google introduced at last year’s I/O conference [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NvbnRleHQtd2luZG93L2dvb2dsZS1zLWFpLXZpc2lvbi1tYWtlLXRlY2gtaHVtYW4tYWdhaW4iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9], is becoming the default search mode. With the 2026 updates, you can now build custom mini-apps, such as a personalized fitness tracker, or interactive visualizations directly within search itself. Antigravity 2.0: Google’s agentic development platform is becoming a desktop app for managing teams of agents, with a new command line interface tool and an SDK for custom workflows. You orchestrate, and the agents code, design, or do whatever else you want them to accomplish. IN THE ‘DELEGATE TO’ BUCKET Gemini Spark: Google is pitching Spark as a 24/7 personal agent that lives in the cloud, works when your devices are off, and can operate across Gmail, Docs, Workspace, Chrome, and eventually, third-party tools through MCP. “You can just throw tasks over your shoulder,” Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Labs, Gemini, and AI Studio said in the keynote. “Spark will catch them and then run with them.” Daily Brief: An out-of-the-box agent in the updated Gemini app that works overnight, scanning your inbox, calendar, and tasks so it can hand you a prioritized digest when you wake up in the morning. Universal Cart: Google’s new shopping cart works across merchants as part of the Universal Commerce Protocol, which it co-developed with Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and others. Whenever you add something in your cart, it automatically monitors the internet for information on the product, including price drops, price history, and whether something is back in stock. It also analyzes the full contents of your cart to proactively flag potential issues, like if you’re building a PC and the processor and motherboard you’ve selected are incompatible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE GOOGLE I/O ANYONE CAN COOK Gemini 3.5 Flash, announced in Tuesday’s opening keynote, seems like a meaningful step toward a fast and cheap model that can reliably handle the personal, everyday tasks that most people are looking for help with. When is a model good enough? That was the question I asked myself heading back to my hotel after the first day of Google I/O. I often send agents on multi-hour coding missions, and need to pull together data from multiple accounts and channels to coordinate my workday. In these cases, each new model release seems to work better than the last. So I eagerly hop from one to another. On the other hand, for simple, personal tasks like household briefings, tracking my journaling and meditation habits, and light web development, I am loyal to Sonnet 4.6 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1hbnRocm9waWMtanVzdC1tYWRlLW9wdXMtY2hlYXBlci13aXRob3V0LWNhbGxpbmctaXQtdGhhdCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMH0=]—although sometimes I have to tell it to ask Opus or GPT-5.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svZ3B0LTUtNSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozMX0=] for help. But once a model like Sonnet grew smart enough to handle anything personal I might throw at it, I wondered, what else might I want from it? I’d want it to be blazingly fast, so that I wasn’t waiting for responses when I was working with it in real-time. I’d also want it to cost next to nothing. Gemini 3.5 Flash may offer exactly that.

Accurate, near-instantaneous responses let Google believably send users from search results pages into its “AI Mode” without them realizing that they’ve entered a new state. A chat interface, after all, is not that far off from a search box. But for that chat interface to still feel like Google search, it has to be just as snappy as traditional search. It remains to be seen how users will take to the deeper AI mode integration once the update rolls out globally, as it’s beginning to do this week. But Google says 2.5 billion people already use the “AI Overviews” at the top of results pages, and these summaries will now let you ask questions in response. Every search becomes the start of a conversation with an AI agent that can generate text and images, spin up research agents, code up interactive widgets and mini-apps, and more. This could lead many more people to experience their first “aha moment” with AI. Google’s core competencies around speed and scale really come through in the Gemini 3.5 Flash release. The context it already has on users though their Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs accounts removes one of the main headaches in setting up AI agents. Google is perhaps one of two companies in the world—along with Apple (which will also be using Gemini to power its own coming AI integration)—with moats of this size. Pretty soon, billions of people could be newly using agentic AI to cook up tools and workflows that make their lives easier or more enjoyable in some small way. Oddly enough, Google’s announcements at I/O so far don’t affect those of us riding the edge of the AI wave. Reception to the day’s announcements in Every’s Slack was tepid.

Figma users no longer have to leave their canvas, or hand the work off to an engineer, to get an AI-generated first draft. Every got access a day before the announcement. Head of marketing Douglas Brundage, senior designer Daniel Rodrigues [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BkYW5pZWxfNWZiZDIxXzEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTV9], and creative designer Benjamin Ose spent a day testing it. Here’s what they found. WHAT WORKS When the prompt is specific, the agent produces solid early explorations, preserves copy well, and gives designers something to work with instead of a blank canvas. As Daniel put it, “There’s really no excuse to start from scratch anymore.” The agent can explore visual directions quickly, though fidelity and rendering still need designer review.

(Image courtesy of Douglas Brundage.) It’s also good for quickly sketching out product ideas. Benjamin used it to mock up a SaaS dashboard for mining X mentions for testimonials and came away with viable early explorations. Here was his initial prompt: > Design a SaaS dashboard that listens for your X handle mentions, uses AI to > extract testimonials (positive shouts, reviews, endorsements), and stores them > in a searchable vault. One-click export to websites as embeds, widgets, or > APIs—think Grammarly’s clean proofing flow meets Stripe’s embeddable elements. > Freemium entry: Basic capture free, premium for AI curation and analytics.

(Image courtesy of Benjamin Ose.) WHAT NEEDS WORK The agent is less useful for detailed work. Tabs rendered improperly, buttons doubled up, components drifted out of alignment, and some outputs came back weirdly low-res. It can lay down the structure, but the designer still has to go in and fix the details. There’s no ability to attach an image or a link as a visual reference for the agent. Right now the agent relies on a prompt-writing skill or an existing Figma frame. Benjamin also said the agent would be much more useful if it worked from an existing design system, instead of inventing from scratch—pulling in the components, colors, spacing, and styles a team already uses in Figma. Ideally, it could also draw on the reference tools designers use, like Mobbin [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21vYmJpbi5jb20vIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjU4fQ==]. OUR VERDICT Figma’s agent isn’t a fully trustworthy design copilot yet, but it solves the blank-page problem for early design work. Its job is to get designers from zero to first pass, so their energy can shift to judgment and polish. It delivers on that promise for exploration, layout starts, and iteration. It still needs better fidelity, stronger detail handling, and richer reference inputs before it can feel dependable in production.—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTl9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Cheng [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiR29vZ2xlIEkvTzogQWdlbnRzLCBBZ2VudHMsIEFnZW50cyIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BqYWNrY2hlbmciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NjB9] is a senior editor at Every.

Mike joined more than two dozen engineers and chief technology officers who played around with the project at a workshop in New York, with Sells and Knutsen dialing in. TL;DR: Gas City has some sharp ideas that reflect the direction software development is headed, but it’s not yet ready for prime time. What is Gas City: Running many coding agents in parallel is table stakes for developers at this point. Getting them to do anything useful requires coordination systems to hand work to each other, review each other’s output, and not step on each other’s branches—and nobody’s quite figured out how to get that right yet. “Software factories” like Gas City are one solution: an orchestration system that hands tasks to a small team of agents, routes their work, and decides what’s done.

Sells and Knutsen use Gas City to build Gas City: Knutsen’s Atlanta-based server runs roughly 100 agents that merge around 50 pull requests per day—the output of a small team—burning through roughly a billion tokens per day, or equal to roughly one-fifth of the English-language corpus on Wikipedia. What works: There are three ideas from the world of software engineering that Gas City is built on and are worth internalizing, even if you never touch the toolkit. * Dark factory versus light factory: Parts of your work where humans and agents talk to each other (planning, design, review) stay visible can be thought of as light, and parts where agents grind through clearly defined work on their own stay in the background, in the dark. As you gain trust in the agents’ output, you can move more of your process into the dark. * One pet, many cattle: The future of multi-agent engineering is likely organized with one persistent, named supervisor you talk to directly (Gas City calls it the “mayor”), who hands tasks to anonymous, disposable workers (the “polecats”) that do one job and shut down, so they execute their job without getting lost in context or in each other’s way. Instead of managing one hundred agents individually, you manage one conversation while the mayor does the coordinating. * Multiple opinions on every code review: Give the same code to Claude [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svb3B1cy00LTciLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTR9], Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1jb2RleC1vcGVuYWktcy1uZXctY29kaW5nLWFnZW50IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==], and Kimi at the same time for review from multiple angles. Three different models catch different bugs than one model run three times. What could be better: In Gas City, every task spins up a fresh agent session that doesn’t remember the earlier steps, so agents waste cycles re-reading context that other agents produced and miss connections a single session would have caught. Cost is also a challenge: A six-step job can cost six times the cost of one Claude session, which adds up fast. The toolkit still feels experimental––it took a room full of experienced engineers an entire day to get it running, even with support from the instructors. Beads, the task tracker powering the system, is built for agents first. It runs on the command line rather than as a visual dashboard, which is fine for agents but harder for humans, who want to see everything at a glance. So teams using Gas City in production typically pair it with Jira or Linear—placing tasks in two places instead of one. Additionally, Gas City was built on the assumption that AI models need hand-holding to stay on track, but models have gotten good enough that parts of Gas City built to keep models on track, such as review loops to catch mistakes and mid-task check-ins to prevent agents from drifting, are now mostly unnecessary. Finally, Gas City uses deliberately unfamiliar words to refer to different inputs, actors, and workflows—“beads” for tasks, “polecats” for workers, “refineries” for processing steps—so it can be confusing for a team new to the tech. Verdict: 🟨 Mike Taylor, head of tech consulting: “Learn from the ideas. Skip the toolkit for now.” If you’re already running more than 10 Claude Code sessions in parallel and reading source code, Gas City is worth a look because it’s one informed opinion on how to handle that level of orchestration. For everyone else, take the ideas and wait.

This is more in line with the way software engineers work now and doesn’t require the behavior change that Gas City does. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW RUN YOUR X POSTS PAST GROK BEFORE YOU POST xAI open-sourced its ranking algorithm [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dpdGh1Yi5jb20veGFpLW9yZy94LWFsZ29yaXRobSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30=] last week, which shows the factors X considers when deciding which posts to surface in users’ For You feed. It includes a Grok-powered “banger classifier” that decides whether your post gets better distribution by scoring every post on quality and slop. So why not run the same check on yourself before you hit publish? 1. Paste your draft into Grok with X’s scoring prompt. Ask Grok to return four things: quality_score, slop_score, isHighQuality (a true-or-false verdict on whether a post clears the quality bar), and topic tags. The classifier reads text, image, and video. Use this prompt: “Score this X post the way the xai-org/x-algorithm banger classifier would: return quality_score (0–1), slop_score (1–3), isHighQuality boolean, and topic tags.” 2. Rewrite anything that scores below 0.4 on quality (which can receive a score of between zero and one) or above one on slop (which is rated between one and three). Posts that users scroll past quickly or report get penalized, while posts that drive replies and dwell time get rewarded. To move the score, lead with a stop-the-scroll first line, name a specific experience, event, or number, and cut anything readers would skim. As soon as a user scrolls past, the algorithm ranks the post as “not_dwelled” and it gets pushed down the recommendation pile. 3. Limit yourself to two to three posts a day. The algorithm heavily discounts your fourth post and your eighth to near zero in the ranking system. It’s better to invest in fewer, scroll-stopping, engagement-generating posts than many forgettable ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGNAL HTML IS THE NEW MARKDOWN What happened: Until a few weeks ago, Markdown, a lightweight text formatting system, was the be-all-end-all of documentation for AI agents, because agents had been trained on so much of it that they read and write it fluently. Then, on May 8, Anthropic’s Thariq Shihipar published an X post titled, “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML,” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3RoYXJpcXMuZ2l0aHViLmlvL2h0bWwtZWZmZWN0aXZlbmVzcy8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9] that argued agents should produce single-file HTML instead when they create files. The post hit 4.4 million views in 16 hours. Three days later, Andrej Karpathy [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2thcnBhdGh5L3N0YXR1cy8yMDUzODcyODUwMTAxMjg1MTM3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE5fQ==] backed it [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2thcnBhdGh5L3N0YXR1cy8yMDUzODcyODUwMTAxMjg1MTM3IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIwfQ==]. Simon Willison, a longtime Markdown advocate, also changed his mind [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NpbW9ud2lsbGlzb24ubmV0LzIwMjYvTWF5LzgvdW5yZWFzb25hYmxlLWVmZmVjdGl2ZW5lc3Mtb2YtaHRtbC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9], saying that now that context windows are large enough, there’s no reason to accept Markdown’s formatting limitations. Why it matters: HTML can do what Markdown can’t, from styled tables and collapsible sections to embedded charts and lightweight JavaScript. Markdown felt like the right answer, provided humans would still edit what agents produced because it’s legible by humans as well as agents. Increasingly, though, agents are producing documentation without humans needing to intervene. When no human is going to read or edit the raw output, you may as well opt for the format that produces a more dynamic result. Raw Markdown (left) is more legible and editable than HTML (right).

There’s a wrinkle, though: The tools we use to share and discuss documents, such as Slack and Google Docs, were all built for Markdown and plain text. Slack previews a Markdown file in the message, whereas HTML shows up as an attachment you have to download. Google Docs threads and GitHub diffs don’t know what to do with a self-contained HTML document. The moment agents start producing HTML by default, our tools will need to adapt to keep up. WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK: When you’re deciding between Markdown and HTML, ask whether the document is meant for humans or agents. * Markdown if it’s for humans. It’ll be edited, refined, or read by an agent that needs to parse it. Examples: AGENTS.md, system prompts, project plans, briefs. * HTML if it’s for agents. A human will consume it once and move on, or it benefits from visual structure. Examples: research summaries, weekly recaps, spec demos, dashboards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY WORKING WITH OUR AGENTS IN PUBLIC Working well with an agent is a skill new enough that there aren’t really best practices yet. So Every’s team has started learning from each other. Last week, Every COO Brandon Gell [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL29uLWV2ZXJ5L2JyYW5kb24tZ2VsbC1qb2lucy1ldmVyeS1hcy1vdXItZmlyc3QtZW50cmVwcmVuZXVyLWluLXJlc2lkZW5jZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNH0=] and head of marketing Douglas Brundage each started public channels with their agents where anyone on the team can observe how they’re working together. Within 48 hours, a dozen people from across the company had joined to lurk. The idea is that every request that would normally live in a direct message goes in the channel. Brandon asked the agent to pull a breakdown of where subscribers are located from Stripe. Douglas asked his to evaluate customer survey responses against classic marketing frameworks. There was a 41-message thread on whether to hook the agent into the Flora API [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3RoZXNpcy9jcmVhdGl2ZS13b3JrLWlzLWFib3V0LXRvLWxvb2stYS1sb3QtbW9yZS1saWtlLXByb2dyYW1taW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==]. The corrections double as useful material in the channel for learning—watching Douglas tell the agent its survey analysis is “performing research” rather than “mining the results for strategic clarity” gives the people watching an understanding of an agent’s limitations and hidden assumptions they should look out for in their own agentic work. Agents can learn from the interactions, too: Brandon has been routing every task through his agent for a week, even the ones he could do faster himself, so it can watch him work and write its own skill at the end. For now, the best way to learn how to work with agents may be to watch other people do it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIHRoZSAxMDAtYWdlbnQgU29mdHdhcmUgRmFjdG9yeSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyNjYsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9] is a staff writer at Every.

The company had no money, so they didn’t care that I had no experience. I had no experience, so I didn’t care that the job didn’t pay at first. The offer was simple: Create a profile for your startup, and we’ll connect you with investors. Most founders didn’t want to write their own profiles, so my job was to take whatever strange, half-formed thing a founder was building and translate it into investor-speak. The profiles were so templatized I can still recite the format: problem, solution, traction, team, business model, revenue projections, competitive landscape, funding terms. I’ve been thinking about that job lately because AI could now produce one of those profiles in two minutes. At 23, I would have heard that and thought: “Thank God.” At 36, I think: “Thank God it couldn’t.” Without that job, I would have never learned how to take a company apart and put it back together as a story, or how to organize information for an audience that wasn’t being paid to read my stuff like my professors in undergrad. This year’s crop of recent graduates has it harder than mine did. AI, which can perform many entry-level tasks, is replacing those early experiences faster than employers can figure out what’s going on. Researchers at Stanford’s Digital Economy Lab found that employment for 22-to-25-year-olds in the jobs most vulnerable to AI has dropped 13 percent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kaWdpdGFsZWNvbm9teS5zdGFuZm9yZC5lZHUvcHVibGljYXRpb24vY2FuYXJpZXMtaW4tdGhlLWNvYWwtbWluZS1zaXgtZmFjdHMtYWJvdXQtdGhlLXJlY2VudC1lbXBsb3ltZW50LWVmZmVjdHMtb2YtYXJ0aWZpY2lhbC1pbnRlbGxpZ2VuY2UvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjd9] since late 2022, even as older workers in the same roles held steady. I think about the 22-year-old version of myself, if I were sending out applications right now into the void of LinkedIn. What would she think about the headlines about AI and job displacement? Would she be scared? Yeah, probably. She was scared of much less. So with full awareness that no one born this millennium wants career advice from someone born before the fall of the Berlin Wall, here’s what I’d do if I were starting over today, knowing what I know about work, AI, and how one is shaping the other.

THERE’S GOOD NEWS, AND THERE’S BAD NEWS The paradox facing today’s entry-level workers is as old as the entry-level job itself: In many cases, in order to get a job, you need experience, but in order to get experience, you need a job. And while employers requiring experience in AI when the technology barely existed when you picked your major may feel like a cosmic joke, employers have long asked for five years of experience with brand-new technologies. All that is small comfort to the recent grad with a near-empty resumé. And there are qualitative differences in what AI is doing to entry-level work.

(Chart courtesy of NACE.) They’re looking for judgment, which is something that you can really only build through experience. When I was writing those funding profiles, I learned how to tell good work from bad. The first 50 that I wrote were so bad that at one point, a client said I should be taken out back and shot. With AI in the mix, the bad ones wouldn’t have been bad enough to teach me anything. The other way today’s job market is more intense for entry-level workers is that employers are expecting competence in a technology that won’t stand still long enough for anyone to completely grasp.

CHASE PROBLEMS, NOT PROFESSIONS When you’re a kid and an adult asks what you want to be when you grow up, the answer is always a job title. A firefighter. A doctor. A YouTube creator. We carry that habit of thinking into the years when we start to look for jobs. We pick a title, and we go after it. The problem is that job titles aren’t as sure a target as they used to be. The role you’re chasing today might exist 18 months from now [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by93b3JraW5nLW92ZXJ0aW1lL3RoZS0xOC1tb250aC1jYXJlZXItaXMtaGVyZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=]. Pick a problem you want to help work on—something happening in the world that you find yourself thinking about, even when nobody is paying you to. The role of “content marketer” or “data analyst” may shrink, split, or even vanish, but the problem behind those titles—how to get a stranger to pay attention to something they didn’t know they cared about, how to make sense of a pile of messy numbers—will still be there, and somebody will still be paid to solve it. I’ve been bad at taking this advice myself. I spent a decade chasing the title “copywriter” and then “content marketer” across a handful of industries that had nothing in common—oncology advertising, personal finance, even, God help me, crypto—without asking whether I cared about any of them. I had the high-school overachiever’s mindset: You didn’t have to be passionate about the subject to get an A. I’d been getting A’s in classes I had no feelings about for 16 years. Why would jobs be any different? That strategy doesn’t work as well when AI can do the entry-level tasks. Your value to whomever hired you is whatever you bring on top of that—usually a deeper understanding of the problem than the model has. That kind of understanding is hard to build in a field you don’t care about. CHOOSE ONE DISCIPLINE TO PROTECT Once you’ve picked your problem, pick your craft, whether it’s writing, building, researching, designing, strategizing, or operating. You’ve probably heard the truism that it takes 10,000 hours to gain mastery of a skill. The actual research is more complicated [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV3eW9ya2VyLmNvbS9zcG9ydHMvc3BvcnRpbmctc2NlbmUvY29tcGxleGl0eS1hbmQtdGhlLXRlbi10aG91c2FuZC1ob3VyLXJ1bGUiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTV9] than the popularized version, but the underlying idea is right. You don’t get any good at anything until you’ve done it many, many times. If you want to write for a living, write your own sentences. If you want to be an engineer, write your own code. Protect this craft from AI at all costs. AI can find resources, explain things, quiz you, and point out where your reasoning has gaps. But if you let it write your sentences or do your research, you won’t get the hours of doing things badly that you need in order to do them well. It’s easy for me to say this when I’m writing this with AI open in another tab. Claude wrote the first draft of half the sentences in this section. I rewrote them [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by93b3JraW5nLW92ZXJ0aW1lL2hvdy10by1rZWVwLXlvdXItd3JpdGluZy13ZWlyZC1pbi10aGUtYWdlLW9mLWFpIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==]. That rewriting is what the discipline is for—noticing when something doesn’t pass muster. The reason I can do that is that I’ve been writing sentences for 10 years. I know all too well how tempting cutting corners gets when the shortcut is right there in another tab. Don’t take it, and in five years you’ll be running circles around the people who did. MAKE THINGS BEFORE ANYONE ASKS YOU TO When I was first applying to jobs out of college, my resume said almost nothing about what I could do in the “real world,” unless the employer happened to be looking for someone with an undergraduate’s grasp of the themes of Wuthering Heights. A thin resume is less of a disadvantage than it used to be, particularly since employers are increasingly shifting to skills-based hiring [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmFjZXdlYi5vcmcvam9iLW1hcmtldC90cmVuZHMtYW5kLXByZWRpY3Rpb25zL3doYXQtc3R1ZGVudHMtbmVlZC10by1rbm93LWFib3V0LXRoZS1za2lsbHMtYmFzZWQtaGlyaW5nLXByb2Nlc3MiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTd9]—screening candidates by what they can do rather than where they’ve been. What you need to do in that environment is make something, and that can be anything—a small tool you wished existed [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3doYXQtY29tZXMtYWZ0ZXItbGlua2VkaW4iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9], a piece of writing on a question nobody is paying you to think about. Pick the thing you’d want to use yourself, and make it. Once your work gets you in the door, the conversation that follows is going to be about how you made it. What you used AI for, and where you decided not to—the moments where you looked at the model’s first answer and thought, “No, that’s not right.” Being able to walk someone through those decisions is the second skill you’re building, alongside the work itself. That’s the judgement that I mentioned before. BUILD THE CAREER COACH YOU WISH YOU HAD The last time I was job hunting, I built a career coach in ChatGPT [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by93b3JraW5nLW92ZXJ0aW1lL2ktaGlyZWQtY2hhdGdwdC1hcy1teS1jYXJlZXItY29hY2giLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9] and used it to land the job I have now. It was a project with my resume, a few examples of writing I was proud of, and a long prompt telling the model how to talk to me. I checked in with it most weekdays for about a month. What it did, more than anything, was give me somewhere to put my thinking. Instead of running the same anxious loop in my head, I could lay the question out and have the model suggest specific next steps, like a writing sample worth developing, or questions I could ask on that networking call that it encouraged me to seek out. By the end of that month, I had a job. If I could hop in a time machine and travel back to talk to my 22-year-old self, I’d suggest that she make one too. It’s not even that hard: 1. Pick a tool. ChatGPT and Claude both have a project feature that holds context, files, and conversation history across sessions. Either works. Free tiers are good enough to start. 2. Create a project and give it a name. “Apprenticeship Coach,” “Career Stuff,” your friend’s nickname for you. 3. Load it with context. Add examples of work you’re proud of and examples you wish were better—the model needs to see what you’re aiming at and where you’re starting from. Paste in a few job postings for roles you’d want, even if they might be too senior for you. Write a paragraph on the problem you care about and why. 4. Tell it how to behave. In your instructions, describe to the model how you want it to deliver feedback. If you want a tough critic, say so. If you’re prone to self-doubt, give it more of a cheerleader vibe. One thing to look out for: Models are infamous for sycophancy—telling you what you want to hear—so guard against that in your instructions, and even then, maintain a healthy skepticism of the outputs. It’s good practice for when you’re asked to work with AI in the workplace. Here’s a starting template. Fill in the bracketed sections, adapt the feedback line to match your preference, and add it to the custom instructions in your project: Career coach promptJavaScript I want you to act as my career coach. My goal is to use AI to get feedback, build judgment, and create visible proof of skill, while still doing the central work myself. Here is my context: * Problem I care about: [Examples: climate, education, public policy, media, health care, local business, creator economy] * The kind of work that addresses it: [Examples: writing, building software, running operations, teaching, designing, researching] * My background: [College major, jobs or internships, projects, communities, life experience] * Skills I’m most confident in: [List 3-5] * Skills I’m least confident in: [List 3-5] * My current technical fluency: [Beginner/comfortable with common AI tools/can code a little/technical but not expert/highly technical] * The core practice I want to develop: [The specific thing the work above requires—writing sentences, writing code, reading sources, designing experiments, etc.] * The parts of that practice I want to keep doing manually: [The reps I want to protect from automation, and why] * How I want you to deliver feedback: [Warm and encouraging/rigorous and direct/strategic and pragmatic/Socratic [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wL3NvY3JhdGVzLWFzLWEtc2VydmljZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMH0=] and question-led/blunt but constructive] Important: Be honest. Push back when my plan is vague, my reasoning is thin, or my project doesn’t teach me the practice I said I want. Ask me a clarifying question rather than guessing. Design an apprenticeship plan that includes: 1. The tasks I should practice manually (the things I shouldn’t outsource yet) 2. How I should use AI as a coach, critic, tutor, and research assistant 3. Readings, people to follow, tools to try, and projects to build 4. Feedback loops I can use to improve 5. Portfolio artifacts or public outputs I should create 6. Mistakes and shortcuts I should watch for After giving me the plan, narrow it down: What is one concrete thing I can do this week to move toward this goal? THE BEGINNER’S ADVANTAGE When I was an undergraduate, my strategy for dealing with the uncertainty of what came next was to pretend it wasn’t happening. I paid for that in the form of angst and existential dread. So if I could give one piece of advice to the class of 2026, it would be this: Don’t wait. AI is reshaping the workforce in real time, and no amount of pretending otherwise will slow it down. I’d love to tell you that the senior people in your field are going to wake up tomorrow and remember that someone once trained them, too. That employers will realize, en masse, that the entry-level folks they don’t hire today are the senior-level folks they won’t have 10 years out. But the market doesn’t reorganize itself around what you wish it would do, and you don’t get a career by waiting for it to. The things AI rewards happen to be the things young people have in surplus, like curiosity, willingness to ask why something is done a certain way, and a little bit of idealism about what work could look like if you weren’t bound by the “best practices” of a time before ChatGPT was a glimmer in Sam Altman’s eye. I don’t know exactly what work is going to look like by the time you’re my age. Nobody does. But if I had to bet on anyone, it’d be the people who are curious about what’s possible. That’s most of you, whether you know it yet or not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSG93IHRvIFN0YXJ0IGEgQ2FyZWVyIFdoZW4gQUkgSXMgRG9pbmcgWW91ciBFbnRyeS1sZXZlbCBKb2IiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MjYzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0aWUucGFycm90dDEyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIxfQ==] is a staff writer at Every.

A few weeks after launching Plus One, our hosted version of OpenClaw, internally, the agents had provided more frustration than efficiency. They were fond of saying they wished they could help, but they were not connected to the necessary app—email, Notion, PostHog, whatever. (They were.) Others responded to requests with a “Terminated” message or, more frequently, a churlish yawning emoji. And while they didn’t reliably follow directions, they’d reliably tell us, in elaborate detail, why they couldn’t do what we’d asked, like a high schooler explaining away their missing homework. Parker, editor in chief Kate Lee’s Plus One, was, in fact, connected. (Image credit courtesy of Kate Lee.)

That’s why we’re launching Executive AI Sessions, a new offering from Every Consulting designed specifically for leadership teams navigating AI adoption. We’ve been running these sessions with clients for months—now we’re opening them to leadership teams beyond our roster. Elevate your executive team ( https://0ab9ee3d.click.kit-mail3.com/xmu6l6wd93a6hp6ong0i5h2e22o27inh8lr4l/g3hnh5hmwv4870ur/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ldmVudHMvZXhlY3V0aXZlLUFJLXNlc3Npb25z ) Over the past two years, we’ve trained thousands of people at the New York Times, Ripple, Headway, Thumbtack, and investment firms managing over $175 billion in assets. Across every engagement, we see the same dynamic: Teams can’t extract value from AI until leaders know where to direct them. When leadership becomes effective AI adopters, their teams and culture follow. Executive AI Sessions give leaders the frameworks to make decisions about where to invest, what to automate, how to structure an AI champion program, and how to avoid the traps we see companies fall into repeatedly.

(Photo courtesy of Waqqas Mir.) Instead of stealing a password, attackers opened a pull request that tricked TanStack’s own build system into running their code. When TanStack published a new version of the software, it contained malware designed to find credentials like cloud keys, GitHub tokens, and npm access. Researchers also spotted a dead-man’s switch [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjcgUmVlbHMgVXMgQmFjayBJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyMjgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3guY29tL2RhYml0My9zdGF0dXMvMjA1Mzk1Njc0MzYyMTY0ODc4OSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=]: If the stolen tokens were revoked before the malware was cleaned up, it could wipe the developer’s home directory on the way out. Shortly after the TanStack incident, npm packages belonging to enterprise automation company UiPath and French model-maker Mistral AI, among others, were breached using the same tactic. What it means: The automated system that builds and ships code, rather than the code itself, is a new vulnerable spot in software supply chains. Teams that release software automatically should keep a ready-to-run audit (a Codex skill, Claude Code command, or other automated task) that, the moment a new breach is exposed, scans every repository for the compromised packages and flags for what’s affected, is likely safe, or needs human review. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA POINT 30 PERCENT The drop in complaints of AI writing signs from Spiral [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT3B1cyA0LjcgUmVlbHMgVXMgQmFjayBJbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQyMjgsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3dyaXRld2l0aHNwaXJhbC5jb20vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9ZXZlcnl3ZWJzaXRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjIzfQ==] users, following the addition of a “top edit” step in its draft writing process.

METR cautions that results above 16 hours are unreliable with its current task suite. (Image courtesy of METR.) It’s important to note, however, that how many human hours a task takes is not the same as how long a model takes to run those same tasks. Duration, the way that METR’s benchmark uses it, stands in for difficulty. As the nonprofit writes in the report’s FAQ: “AI agents are typically several times faster than humans on tasks they complete successfully.” That last bit—tasks completed successfully—adds another twist to the benchmark. The 16-plus hour measurement is based on a 50 percent success rate. A separate measurement of how LLMs perform at 80 percent reliability shows that Mythos can run tasks that would take humans a little over three hours.

If you already have agents running overnight, “How long did your agent run?” is still a useful diagnostic—but ask it alongside, “With what guardrails, against what feedback signal, and at what verified accuracy?” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW BUILD YOUR NEXT AGENT SKILL LIKE PERPLEXITY DOES Creating a skill these days is relatively easy. Creating one that keeps working is not. We’ve seen skills that were running fine one day suddenly fire on the wrong request, fail to load when needed, or yield reports that weren’t as useful as they used to be. So the skill files get patched, growing longer every time the agent makes a mistake. But nobody can tell whether the latest edit helped or hurt. Perplexity, the AI search company building agentic research and browsing tools, recently published its methodology [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZhbGxhY3kgb2YgdGhlIDE2LWhvdXIgQWdlbnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9yZXNlYXJjaC5wZXJwbGV4aXR5LmFpL2FydGljbGVzL2Rlc2lnbmluZy1yZWZpbmluZy1hbmQtbWFpbnRhaW5pbmctYWdlbnQtc2tpbGxzLWF0LXBlcnBsZXhpdHkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjF9] for designing agent skills. The main lesson: Instead of starting with the skill, start the tests. Highlights from the post: * Write the evals first. Pull five to 10 cases from production queries, known failures, and edge cases. Include negative examples—queries that should not invoke this skill. * Phrase triggers like a human would. Start with, “Load when…” and use the language your users use. Perplexity’s example: Instead of “monitors pull requests,” try “babysit a PR,” “watch CI,” or “make sure this lands.” This way, the skill loads without your team having to use a specific command or technical phrase. * Write the body in principles, not procedures. The model already knows commands; it needs direction on how to apply them. Instead of listing detailed steps to, say, checkout a new code branch, then cherry-pick files to edit, then check for conflicts, and so on, Perplexity recommends instructions like, “Cherry-pick the commit onto a clean branch. Resolve conflicts preserving intent.” * Codify failures into lessons. When the agent fails in production, write the failure mode to the skill file. The mistake becomes a standing instruction that guards against future mistakes. * Edit instructions rigorously. Ask with every line you add: “Would the agent get this wrong without this?” If not, cut it. Every extra line adds context cost. Try it this week: Pick one skill your team wants to improve. Write 10 test cases—five it should handle, five it should refuse or route elsewhere. Run the current skill against them. The gap is your backlog. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS “The office of the future will sound more like a sales floor.” —Edward Kim, cofounder of Gusto, in the Wall Street Journal A Wall Street Journal article this week about AI dictation tools entering the workplace [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZhbGxhY3kgb2YgdGhlIDE2LWhvdXIgQWdlbnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud3NqLmNvbS90ZWNoL3R5cGluZy1pcy1iZWluZy1yZXBsYWNlZC1ieS13aGlzcGVyaW5nYW5kLWl0cy13YXktbW9yZS1hbm5veWluZy1hODA0ZmVlNyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyMn0=] treats verbal prompting and composition as a manners problem—an angle that shows that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Every new work interface eventually creates etiquette. Email created reply-all politics. Slack created notification politics. Voice AI is about to create room-tone politics: when you can talk to your computer, how loudly, and around whom. Great news for nosy office neighbors, but for the rest of us, it’s one more reason to curse the invention of open floor plans. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY This week, Thinking Machines Lab [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZhbGxhY3kgb2YgdGhlIDE2LWhvdXIgQWdlbnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly90aGlua2luZ21hY2hpbmVzLmFpL2Jsb2cvaW50ZXJhY3Rpb24tbW9kZWxzLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyM30=] and OpenAI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiVGhlIEZhbGxhY3kgb2YgdGhlIDE2LWhvdXIgQWdlbnQiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTkzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9vcGVuYWlkZXZzL3N0YXR1cy8yMDUzOTY0MTMzNTcwNDEyODI2IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI0fQ==] both announced bets on the same future: AI that watches and responds in real time, instead of waiting for its turn.

Here’s how you can do it too: 1. Find the input pipe. MIDI for instruments. Screen capture for writing or design. Camera plus a vision model for drawing or movement. Microphone for languages. 2. Have the agent build the watcher. Ask Codex (or Claude Code) to write the app based on how you like to be coached. (For example, tell it to only provide one piece of feedback at a time, or to focus on one aspect of your technique and ignore another.) 3. Tune the feedback as you go. First responses will be generic (“good chord progression”). Tell the watcher what’s useful and what’s not—“flag wrong notes only,” “ignore dynamics,” “let me finish a phrase before cutting in.” Dan’s Codex-native piano coach setup, with the coaching app pulled up in the in-app browser.

My job, in both roles, is to find ideas that people haven’t yet put into words—the anecdote that could become a front-page story, the framing that could crystallize a founder’s philosophy into something a customer remembers. In an hour interview with someone, it might not be until minute 45 that we start getting into the good stuff. In two hours, there may only be one thing that stands out to me—a side story, a detail, some color. A little piece of gold dust. An investor I’ve worked closely with calls these “extraction sessions.” I call the people who do them well Socrates-as-a-service. Those details and stories aren’t on the internet. They’re not in any model. And the model hasn’t replicated yet how I pull them out of people. The gap between what AI can do and what a great human questioner can surface is still wide—and it’s the gap where the best stories live. If you don’t have some way to surface that information in your organization, your brand and messaging are going to sound like all the other twice-boiled content out there. OSAKAN BREAD AND THE WISDOM WITHIN The stuff that I’m looking for has a name in management theory: “tacit knowledge.” The term comes from scientist and philosopher Michael Polanyi, who defined it with the phrase, “We can know more than we can tell.” It’s the expertise and intuition that lives in our bodies and resists being turned into a document. In a frequently cited 1991 article [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbHVtc2EuaXQvc2l0ZXMvZGVmYXVsdC9maWxlcy9VVEVOVEkvdTk1L0xNNTFfSVRBX1RoZSUyMEtub3dsZWRnZS1DcmVhdGluZyUyMENvbXBhbnkucGRmIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjV9], Japanese management expert Ikujiro Nonaka argued that while Western companies excelled at “information processing,” Japanese companies specialized in the “creation of knowledge,” through a feedback loop that turned tacit knowledge into a competitive advantage. His most memorable example: In the 1980s, the Osaka-based Matsushita Electric Company was struggling to get the kneading right in a bread machine. They sent a software developer to apprentice with a baker at a local hotel famous for its luscious loaves. The knowledge she brought back helped the team perfect the dough-stretching technology inside the machine and ultimately create a top-selling device. I am sure that the lucky engineer asked the baker a lot of questions, but there was certainly a lot she absorbed just from watching. Indeed, Polanyi argued that tacit knowledge exists outside of numbers or symbolic language—the kind of systemization that AI requires to ingest information. Many “bakers” from whom we try to extract tacit knowledge often don’t even know the depth of expertise they carry. And they certainly couldn’t tell you what questions you need to ask to access it.

Those notes become the basis of an outline of the piece. I would argue, however, that AI-driven extraction works well when the parameters are clear and the assignment structured, like writing an article or a plan for software. If you’re looking to turn over a completely new rock, interview someone about something they haven’t spoken much about before, or run the kind of open-ended information gathering work that happens when companies decide to rebrand. In those sessions, a chief marketing officer or branding agency will spend time speaking to members of the company and asking them open-ended questions about the business. The point is to keep things open, go wide, and see what comes up. There’s a second problem: A human in the room can be surprised mid-conversation and abandon the plan—perhaps notice hesitation or dig into a thread that wasn’t on the list. A prompt mostly can’t. When I elicit insight from someone, I am applying my judgment about what is a good story in real time—judgment that’s been honed by years in news and communications. This mutual, live attention is something AI can’t capture because it’s not in the room. The obvious objection is that this is a moving target—context windows and memory are improving to allow for more detailed, fluid conversations. Taste [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vcC93aGF0LWlzLXRhc3RlLXJlYWxseSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxMn0=] won’t, however, won’t. Someone still has to decide which detail out of a two-hour conversation is the piece of gold dust. Nonaka himself argued that the goal isn’t always to make tacit knowledge fully explicit. Because tacit knowledge is so personal and often so abstract, sometimes the right tool with which to communicate is a metaphor or an analogy—a form of language that can hold multiple ambiguous meanings. Eliciting that kind of language from someone takes its own form of tacit knowledge: the skills of a Socrates. STEAL THESE TECHNIQUES So how can you surface those nuggets of gold? Despite the explosion of interview podcasts asking for multiple hours of your time, I find most hosts are not great at asking questions. The format demands an arc—a journey—which is the opposite of what you want when you’re trying to surface tacit knowledge. Real extraction zigs and zags, doubling back on itself and picking up something you said 20 minutes ago to pull a different thread, following gold, not audience interest. Here are the techniques that I keep coming back to: * Warm people up. We open up more once trust is established. I never skip the small talk at the beginning of a conversation, and I’ll often bring something we have in common: “I saw you just spoke about X—I’ve been thinking about that too.” NPR interviewer Terry Gross’s favorite icebreaker question is, “ [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTgvMTEvMTcvc3R5bGUvc2VsZi1jYXJlL3RlcnJ5LWdyb3NzLWNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbi1hZHZpY2UuaHRtbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=]Tell me about yourself [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTgvMTEvMTcvc3R5bGUvc2VsZi1jYXJlL3RlcnJ5LWdyb3NzLWNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbi1hZHZpY2UuaHRtbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=].” [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTgvMTEvMTcvc3R5bGUvc2VsZi1jYXJlL3RlcnJ5LWdyb3NzLWNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbi1hZHZpY2UuaHRtbCIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNX0=] The question lets the person you are speaking to take the lead and protects you as the questioner from saying anything that might make them prickle while you are still warming up. * Ask a mix of general and specific questions. When Lenny Rachitsky revealed the questions [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcmV2aWV3LmZpcnN0cm91bmQuY29tL3JlbHVjdGFudGx5LWluZmx1ZW50aWFsLWluc2lkZS1sZW5ueS1yYWNoaXRza3lzLWRlbWFuZGluZ2x5LWNoaWxsLWxpZmUvIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE2fQ==] he sends to his podcast guests in preparation for the podcast, this combination stood out. For example, he asks them, “Anything you haven’t shared elsewhere that could be interesting to share in this forum?”—a very general question, and “What’s one pivotal moment in your career?”—which asks the guest to pinpoint one turning point. To extract unverbalized insights from someone, it helps to ask them to both think macro about their area of expertise as well as micro. * Come back to thoughts and drill in. If a line of inquiry goes nowhere, don’t abandon it—go back later and try again from a different angle. The first pass often loosens wisdom up. * Repeat things back. Repeating what someone said often helps them process their thoughts further, and they will often add additional detail they didn’t know they remembered. * Detail, detail, detail. Specifics are where the real stuff lives. How did that make you feel in that moment? Why do you think that way? * Listen well. Pulitzer Prize-winning radio journalist Studs Terkel spent decades interviewing everyday people in Chicago, and was described by one subject [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vdHJhbnNvbS5vcmcvMjAwMS9zdHVkcy10ZXJrZWwtaW4tY29udmVyc2F0aW9uLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30=] as offering “a state of being, it’s a way of attending to, attention-ing another person.” That is what good listening looks like. * Ask about squirrels. In his documentary about the debate surrounding the death penalty, Werner Herzog interviews a death row chaplain [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9S1JDMWZrUG9hOG8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9] who, at the start of their conversation, delivers the polished answers he’s given 100 times about accompanying people in their final minutes. Then Herzog asks him about squirrels. Thrown off, he breaks down. The grief he feels about his job is laid bare. Ask people about the unscripted things. Study this. Collect great questions you like. Build prompts to borrow these techniques for structured AI-driven sessions if you want. But the judgment underneath these habits remains harder to transfer. It’s its own form of tacit knowledge. And for now, it still belongs to humans. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eleanor Warnock [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiU29jcmF0ZXMgYXMgYSBTZXJ2aWNlIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vZXZlcnkudG8vQGVsZWFub3JfYjAzNDc0XzEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTl9] is the managing editor at Every.

That’s the direction Anthropic is building in with its new Managed Agents features, announced at this week’s Code with Claude developer event. The basic idea: Claude, wrapped in a computer in the cloud, that you can spin up, scale, and manage as needed. Anthropic is taking on the infrastructure that kills most agent products, and making sure that it scales to meet the needs of agents running 24/7.

The holy grail of any product is low marginal cost and high value. That is why software ate the world and why investors loved it. Biotechnology, however, is the polar opposite. A new drug costs hundreds of millions in research and development, then has to clear approval, then has to be manufactured, and out of every 100 candidates, only two or three reach the pharmacy shelf. The gross margins are fine once a drug ships, but the pipeline to get there is long and expensive. Biotech was never going to scale the way software did.

(Source: X/ErikTopol.) We now have maps of protein, genes, and cells that are starting to add up to a coherent picture of disease. For most of the history of medicine, we worked at the level of the organ, so we could see the disease but never its origins. Now we work at the level where disease happens—a genetic variant produces a misfolded protein, the misfolded protein disrupts a cellular pathway, and the cellular disruption is the disease. Of course, the marginal cost of a drug will never be zero. But the marginal cost of asking what a disease is, and where to look for the answer, is collapsing. Lower R&D costs mean more breakthrough drugs, which means patients live longer and investors make money. The incentives, for once, point in the same direction.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQUkgV29yayBJcyBTcGxpdHRpbmcgaW4gVHdvIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE5MSwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vQXNod2lucmVhZHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NTZ9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

We’ve incorporated two of the new features Anthropic announced yesterday (memory and multi-agent orchestration) and are deploying the third (outcomes) soon. Memory: Every’s editorial and social expertise—how to write a good X post, for example—lives in an Anthropic-hosted global memory store. The memory store lets us avoid including every piece of editorial and social expertise in the agent system prompt—the standing instructions that tell the agent what to do every time it runs. When a user asks for a podcast description, the agent doesn’t need to also recall how to craft a great LinkedIn post. It only pulls the relevant expertise with each request, thereby making responses faster. Each Spiral subscriber also gets their own personal memory store. When you tell Spiral that you prefer em-dashes over semicolons or that your company name is one word and not two, it will remember and apply your rules by default the next time you run it. Multi-agent orchestration: When users request a single draft of a piece of writing, one agent using Opus 4.6 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svb3B1cy00LTYiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjV9] Fast handles the workflow end-to-end. For multi-draft requests, a coordinator agent using Haiku 4.5 [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3ZpYmUtY2hlY2svdmliZS1jaGVjay1jbGF1ZGUtaGFpa3UtNC01LWFudGhyb3BpYy1jb29rZWQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjZ9] spins up multiple Opus 4.6 Fast subagents to compose drafts in parallel. Before multiagent orchestration, multi-draft requests were handled serially, and each draft added 20 to 30 seconds to the overall request time. A multiagent approach also reduced our costs for multi-draft requests by about a third because we were able to use cheaper models for part of the work. Outcomes: Anthropic’s new outcomes capability is a feedback loop where one “grader” AI checks another AI’s work against a specified goal. Spiral’s main value proposition is writing quality, so we’re using outcomes to set up a rubric to ensure the writer agent’s output meets Spiral’s editorial standards and matches the user’s style guide. The rubric the grader AI uses is generated on-the-fly based on the global standards, the user’s writing style, and their writing preferences from memory. Memory and multi-agent orchestration are live in production, and outcomes is coming soon. You can see the features in action by running npm i -g @every-env/spiral-cli && spiral login or logging into Spiral and using the install command on the Agent and API keys page [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwcC53cml0ZXdpdGhzcGlyYWwuY29tL3NldHRpbmdzL2FwaS1rZXlzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==]. Having set these features up in production, here’s what I think: You are not totally locked into Anthropic’s universe. Every engineer worries that when a company offers a hosted version of something, it will be hard to leave. With Managed Agents, the agents themselves, sessions, and memory are all stored on Anthropic machines, and the agents themselves can only be powered by Claude—a managed agent can’t run on GPT-5.5 or Gemini. I’ve mitigated this lock-in in two ways: First, we save agent runs to our own database in addition to Anthropic’s. This way, chats from the API appear in the web app just as web chats do, but it doubles as a safety net. If we ever wanted to leave Anthropic, we’d have all our historical data. Second, the Managed Agents platform lets you define custom tools for the agents. Those tools run on our servers, which means we can use whatever model we want inside the tools themselves. The coordinator agent is locked to Claude, but we control the layer underneath. Using multiple agents has trade-offs. Multi-agent orchestration has allowed us to create multiple drafts faster and cheaper. However, coordination between agents adds overhead that prevents greater speed gains. Debugging also gets harder: If a Spiral draft comes back subpar, we have to investigate both the coordinator agent and the writer agent to identify the root cause. I’d recommend multi-agent orchestration only when your agent benefits from running subagents in parallel or using a mixture of models. Otherwise, a single agent works well. Memory’s design is intuitive. Each memory is just a folder of markdown files, and each memory store is attached to a session with instructions that tell the agent when to consult it. Anthropic designed this feature thoughtfully—they kept it simple.—Marcus Moretti [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BtYXJjdXNfZmQ4MzAyXzEiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FEATURE TO WATCH: DREAMING CORA GENERAL MANAGER KIERAN KLAASSEN SEES HIS OWN PHILOSOPHY MIRRORED BACK AT HIM Kieran has spent the last year trying to get agents to learn his preferences instead of forcing him to restate them every time.

The system learns from repeated corrections, recurring mistakes, and workflows that run well—creating, over time, an institutional knowledge base. The feature currently lives inside Claude Managed Agents as a research preview [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NsYXVkZS5jb20vYmxvZy9uZXctaW4tY2xhdWRlLW1hbmFnZWQtYWdlbnRzIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjMzfQ==], which is where Marcus has been testing it—with early success. Every plans to have its production agents dream as soon as the feature ships in a stable public release. But Kieran’s immediate question was: When is this coming to Claude Code? Claude Code, after all, is where developers spend their days teaching agents the same repo quirks, the same testing rituals, the same “please don’t do it that way” preferences. Those preferences can go into memory files, but memory files get messy. They collect duplicates, stale rules, one-off notes, and contradictions—and as Marcus notes, memory introduces overhead, so you trade speed for quality every time you use it. A dream cleans that up. It takes up to 100 past sessions [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3BsYXRmb3JtLmNsYXVkZS5jb20vZG9jcy9lbi9tYW5hZ2VkLWFnZW50cy9kcmVhbXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzR9] and produces a reorganized memory store with duplicates merged, contradicted entries replaced, and new insights pulled out—memory that organizes itself, in Marcus’s framing. If Anthropic brings that loop to Claude Code, memory starts to look less like a notes folder and more like accumulated taste.—Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzV9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE ANTHROPIC WHAT THE COMPANY’S PLATFORM TEAM TOLD US OFF-STAGE While at the conference, Dan sat down with Angela Jiang, Anthropic’s head of product for the Cloud Platform, and Caitlin Lesse, head of platform engineering, for a recorded conversation. Three things that stood out: The generic harness is dead. Angela told us that building a generalized harness that lets you switch any underlying model for a different one—standard practice even a few months ago—is a losing strategy. Different harnesses paired with the same model produce “drastically different” results on Anthropic’s own evaluations. When the team built memory for Managed Agents, they tested multiple harness designs, and the performance gaps were large enough to make model selection feel secondary. Our own experience backs this up: Our agents run on Claude with a harness tuned specifically for how Claude works. If we don’t want to risk getting locked in, we have to—as Marcus writes above—build the harness in a way that lets us swap in GPT or Gemini. But Angela’s argument is that the bigger risk is leaving performance on the table. Infrastructure is the real wall. Caitlin told us that most people building agents expect the hard part to be the prompting, context window management, and tool setup required to get the most out of the model. In practice, everyone hits the same wall: infrastructure. They have to keep servers running, securely sandbox, prevent connection drops, and store transcripts. Before Marcus set up Managed Agents in an afternoon and deployed it the next day, we spent months on exactly that kind of plumbing. Your agent needs a babysitter. Dan raised this problem directly: Agents get stale fast, running old models and old prompts with nobody responsible for updating them. Our solution so far has been to assign every agent an owner to keep an eye on it. Caitlin said the Anthropic team has built skills to help agents upgrade themselves to new models. “The most AGI [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL2NoYWluLW9mLXRob3VnaHQvdG93YXJkLWEtZGVmaW5pdGlvbi1vZi1hZ2kiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzZ9]-pilled people,” she added, “are running agents that monitor their agents.” The full episode with Angela and Caitlin drops tomorrow on AI & I [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSW5zaWRlIEFudGhyb3BpY-KAmXMgMjAyNiBEZXZlbG9wZXIgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxODksInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL3BvZGNhc3QiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mzd9]—we go deeper on where the platform is headed, what “outcome + budget” means as a design philosophy, and why Anthropic thinks Claude should eventually pick its own sub-agents.—KP WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THIS POST?

It was the day after I was supposed to turn them in when I decided to be an adult and survey the damage from the first quarter. And I do mean damage. I’d written only half of the columns I’d committed to. Another project I had promised hadn’t even gotten off the ground. I could give the usual excuses—the quarter was busy, the project hit walls outside my control—but the real culprit was obvious: I may be a great writer, but I am garbage at project management. For 15 years, I handled this weakness by tiptoeing around it. I didn’t take on managerial roles that would have required more organizational skills. I didn’t take on so much freelance work that I couldn’t keep the deadlines in my head. I passed on ambitious projects—too many moving parts. This duct-taped approach worked until I decided to join Every full-time in April. If I were going to take on more responsibility as a full member of the team, I needed to get serious about project management. Which, in 2026, meant I needed to bring in AI. So I built myself a project manager: a ChatGPT agent that holds my OKRs—objectives and key results [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9zb3VyY2UtY29kZS9ob3ctd2UtcnVuLWEtMjUtcGVyc29uLWNvbXBhbnktb24tZm91ci1haS1hZ2VudHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Nn0=], the goals that define a successful quarter—watches my calendar, reads my Notion to-do list, and helps me decide what to do next.

WHY AI CAN BABYSIT MY TO-DO LIST NOW I’d tried using ChatGPT as a project manager before, during a freelance month last year when I’d overbooked myself and had deadlines staring me down like unread letters from the IRS. I would open a new chat and type some version of: “I have this deadline, this deadline, and this deadline; this meeting, this meeting, and this meeting. What should I do?” For one-off triage, it worked well enough. The problem was the context that it had about me—or didn’t. Every time I came back, I had to explain everything again: the clients, the deadlines, the pieces in flight, the meetings, the priorities, the fact that one project was more important than another for reasons that were obvious to me and invisible to the chat window. A glimpse of my ChatGPT project management system, manually informing the AI of my deadlines day by day. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/4153/optimized_510b7535-368a-4892-b700-fa23df36fdb4.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MTUzL29wdGltaXplZF81MTBiNzUzNS0zNjhhLTQ4OTItYjcwMC1mYTIzZGYzNmZkYjQucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjE1fQ==A glimpse of my ChatGPT project management system, manually informing the AI of my deadlines day by day. Then, over the past six months, several things converged to make more comprehensive project management using ChatGPT possible. First, memory [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9hbHNvLXRydWUtZm9yLWh1bWFucy93aHktaS10dXJuZWQtb2ZmLWNoYXRncHQtcy1tZW1vcnkiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTZ9] improved enough that the system could carry context and apply it across conversations. Next came advanced tool use, which enabled AI to navigate and use browsers and other tools. Integrations meant that ChatGPT could finally do things like open my Notion, check my calendar, and read my Slack. Finally, products like OpenClaw and Every’s Plus One [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wbHVzLW9uZSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxN30=] wrapped all this firepower in a package that even I, a technical neophyte, can work with. If you tried to do something with AI a year ago—like manage a marketing workflow or run an analysis of financial results—and it didn’t take, try again. Chances are that the model and the product around it have shifted in ways that move the finish line in your favor. It was time for me to take another swing at AI-native project management. WHAT I BUILT: A PROJECT MANAGEMENT AGENT Saying “I built an agent” makes the whole thing sound more sophisticated than it is. The truth is that AI did most of the work—I just put the right information in places AI could see it, connected the tools and software where my work happens, and described the job I wanted done. CONTEXT TO SHAPE THE AGENT’S MEMORY With context, the agent can turn a vague goal into Thursday’s first task. Without it, it’s just a Magic 8 Ball for to-do lists. So, as I was going through the setup for my agent (which you can do directly through the chat interface), I made sure to provide plenty of documentation for the agent-builder to build on top of. Most importantly, I gave it a link to a Proof [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9wcm9vZmVkaXRvci5haS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MTh9] document with my OKRs, four objectives, a dozen-ish key results, and a rough sense of a stack-ranking of projects. Then I asked it to do the first piece of project management I am worst at: I asked it to turn “a successful quarter” into concrete phases, milestones, deadlines, and tasks. The agent broke my OKRs down into a week-by-week action plan, then converted that into tasks for my Notion to-do list.

The agent broke it into smaller pieces: Audit the existing process, draft a brief outlining suggested changes, solicit feedback, and implement the changes. The first useful thing the agent gave me was a draft to respond to. Some of the tasks were so abstract I couldn’t tell where to start, and others were so chunky they were really projects in disguise. So I went back and forth with the agent to set a few parameters—mostly telling it, “This is too confusing for me to act on”—and it split, renamed, and rewrote the items until the plan had been divided into projects and tasks that were doable. Then the tasks went into Notion, where they became a board with deadlines, statuses, and linked OKRs. INTEGRATIONS GIVE THE AI PLACES TO ACT The next step was adding integrations so that the agent could track my work across tools. ChatGPT agents make this almost embarrassingly easy now. In a few clicks, I connected the agent to the places where my work already lives: Notion, Slack, Google Drive, and Calendar. The dashboard for my project manager agent, complete with integrated apps, context files, and memory.

It can see on my calendar that Thursday morning is open, that a discussion on a Slack thread created a new task for me to do, that an article draft exists somewhere in Drive, and that a project belongs to an OKR and isn’t just a guilty little cloud floating around on Notion. INSTRUCTIONS TELL THE AGENT WHAT TO DO Context tells the agent what matters. Integrations tell it where to look. Instructions tell it what to do. I had to write fewer of them than I expected. I opened the ChatGPT agent [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuYWkuY29tL2luZGV4L2ludHJvZHVjaW5nLXdvcmtzcGFjZS1hZ2VudHMtaW4tY2hhdGdwdC8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MjJ9] builder, which you can find in the left-hand sidebar of the ChatGPT web app. Then I explained, in plain English, what I wanted: a project-management agent that would help me organize each week and keep my quarterly objectives on track. The builder turned that into a fuller brief with its role, workflows, and instructions on how to deliver responses, where to store information for future reference, and what NOT to do (for example, invent a status or deadline). The beginning of the instructions that power my project management agent.

Ultimately, the instructions I care about boil down to this: Help me organize the week, keep the quarterly objectives on track, and do the useful work first instead of requiring so much input from me that I might as well have gone in and looked at all the inputs myself. I might as well have I CAN’T AUTOMATE THE ‘ME’ OF IT ALL I may be offloading a type of work that I hate and am bad at, but I’m also learning new skills—or relearning them for the agentic era. Mostly, these lessons emerge through failure. Oftentimes, the failure is one of communication. It took time to get in the habit of keeping my agent up-to-date on the details it can’t see. An article would be published, and I’d forget to tell the agent or move the card in Notion that corresponded to it. Deadlines moved while Notion stayed stuck on the old date, and the agent became about as useful as my dog when I tell her to go get a toy from upstairs. My Notion to-do list functions as the source of truth for me and the agent about the status of projects. If it’s not up-to-date, the whole system falls apart. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/4153/optimized_d4b0cddb-3be3-4442-a1e1-7925cb3769d0.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MTUzL29wdGltaXplZF9kNGIwY2RkYi0zYmUzLTQ0NDItYTFlMS03OTI1Y2IzNzY5ZDAucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI0fQ==My Notion to-do list functions as the source of truth for me and the agent about the status of projects. If it’s not up-to-date, the whole system falls apart. I have to tell the agent when a draft is in review or is published, a deadline changes, or a new task appears in a meeting. Updating a Notion page is annoying. But annoying is better than carrying the whole quarter in my head. Another wrinkle is the “me” problem. The agent can’t change my personality. It can’t make me less anxious or more confident in my ideas. So, for example, I’ve been sitting on a proposal for my biggest Q2 project for a week because I can’t convince myself it’s good enough to send. The agent knows this. It reminds me that it’s overdue every day. And I keep avoiding it. The agent can draft the email and flag the delay, but it can’t tell me if the idea is good. That part—deciding to believe in the thing you made—is still mine. AI, it turns out, is no match for my neuroticism. KNOWING WHILE THERE’S STILL TIME Near the end of every week, I ask the agent for the thing I used to dread the most: a status report. It reviews the work that was supposed to get done, what moved, what slipped, and which goals are starting to look further from reach. Sometimes the answer is satisfying. Sometimes it is rude in the way accurate things are rude. One day recently, I asked it for a report on my OKR progress: One project had momentum but needed a cleaner path to delivery; another looked healthy, but only if I had artifacts to show for it that the agent couldn’t see; my publishing cadence was fine, but would be better if I set up the idea backlog the agent and I had talked about. The agent’s take on the status of my three active OKRs. There’s nothing on fire, but it gives me a sense of where to put my focus in the next few weeks. [https://d24ovhgu8s7341.cloudfront.net/uploads/editor/posts/4153/optimized_fa284e4b-af80-45d2-9e95-67820cfd442b.png]https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kMjRvdmhndThzNzM0MS5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC91cGxvYWRzL2VkaXRvci9wb3N0cy80MTUzL29wdGltaXplZF9mYTI4NGU0Yi1hZjgwLTQ1ZDItOWU5NS02NzgyMGNmZDQ0MmIucG5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==The agent’s take on the status of my three active OKRs. There’s nothing on fire, but it gives me a sense of where to put my focus in the next few weeks. This is the kind of thing a competent project manager would probably notice in a 20-minute check-in. Which is exactly what I want from the agent: making the obvious visible before it becomes a delay that turns into a problem that snowballs into a failed objective or, worse, a disappointed teammate. For most of my career, deadlines and prioritization felt like weather systems: suddenly overhead, occasionally catastrophic, mostly outside my control. Now I can see the front forming in time to take action. If AI has only been helping you with the part of work you already do well, try pointing it at the part you have been avoiding. If the promise of AI is that it frees up humans to do what only humans can do, that should include freeing us from things we hate to do. Otherwise, what’s the point? I am still bad at project management. The part of work that makes me feel like I am faking adulthood still exists. But I have support for that now, so the writing gets the hours it deserves. BUILD YOUR OWN PROJECT MANAGER If you want to set up your own project-management agent, here’s what I’d gather before you open the agent builder. 1. CONTEXT: THE DOCUMENTS TO FEED IT Think of this as the agent’s onboarding material. The more it can read about your priorities, the less you’ll have to repeat in chat. * OKRs or quarterly goals. The single most important file. If you don’t have written OKRs, write a one-page version of what a successful quarter looks like—your objectives, the rough metrics that prove them, and any projects you’ve already committed to. * Strategy or planning docs. Anything that explains the why behind the work: team strategy memos, annual plans, project briefs, and kickoff documents. * Workstream documentation. Standing responsibilities you want the agent to know about, such as your editorial calendar, cadence of the content you publish, and recurring meetings. * A stack-rank of your goals. Which OKR matters most? Which project is the one you’d protect if everything else slipped? Write this down. 2. INTEGRATIONS: CONNECT THE TOOLS WHERE YOU WORK Connect the systems where the work actually lives. * A task manager. Notion, Todoist, Asana, Linear, or whatever you already use. This becomes the source of truth for the status of your work. If you don’t have one, set one up before you build the agent. * Your calendar. Google or Outlook. The agent needs to see where your time is spent versus where you said it would be spent. * Slack or your team chat. This allows the agent to pick up tasks that get assigned in conversation and never make it into your task manager. * Cloud drive. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or wherever your drafts and working documents live. 3. THE PROMPT Here’s the brief I gave my agent builder. Keep the structure and adapt the specifics to your work. Project manager agent promptother You are my project manager. Your job is to help me organize each week and keep my quarterly objectives on track. You have access to my OKRs, my Notion to-do list, my calendar, my Slack, and my Drive. Treat my OKR document as the source of truth for what matters this quarter, and treat Notion as the source of truth for project status. Each Monday, give me a one-page plan for the week: what's due, what's at risk, and what I should focus on first, based on which OKR each task ladders up to. Each Friday, give me a status report: what got done, what slipped, and which goals are starting to look further from reach. When I ask, "What should I work on now?", check my calendar for available time and my Notion board for open tasks, then recommend one thing—not five. Don't invent statuses, deadlines, or tasks. If a date isn't in Notion, say so. If a task is ambiguous, ask me one clarifying question rather than guessing. Protect my stated priorities from my daily impulses. If I ask for help with something that isn't on the OKR list, flag it before you help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiSSBMZXQgQ2hhdEdQVCBNYW5hZ2UgTXkgV29ya3dlZWsiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUzLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Aa2F0aWUucGFycm90dDEyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI2fQ==] is a staff writer at Every.

Did a patient develop a fever? Did liver enzymes rise? Did the tumor shrink? Instead of waiting for clinicians to collect, clean, and submit these signals between phases, the FDA will see them as they happen. The agency’s chief AI officer estimates this could cut 20 to 40 percent off the time it takes to get a drug from the lab to the pharmacy shelf. The downstream effect of a faster approval process is a faster way to find out if a drug does not work. Most of what happens inside a pharmacological company’s research and development budget is paying smart people to find out, slowly and expensively, that the molecule is a dud—which the current system is optimized to find out as late as possible. With real-time data, the failure might show up in year one instead of year three, giving precious time for a patient to be re-routed to something that might work. Structurally, medicine is starting to behave like software. Silicon Valley says move fast and break things, while healthcare has always said the opposite, for the obvious reason that the thing being broken is a person. I’m starting to believe that AI might be the first tool that lets medicine have it both ways.—Ashwin Sharma [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29kZXggR29lcyB0byBXb3JrIiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDE1MiwicG9zdF90eXBlIjoicG9zdCIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veC5jb20vQXNod2lucmVhZHMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6NDJ9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all for this week!

I could not do this job without Claude. Claude Code has eliminated the drudgery of product management. The busywork that used to happen across 10 different apps now happens in a single chat thread. I’ve come to view the work of product management through the lens of this conversation—the conversation is the work. These days, I experience what’s left of product management work in flow state—thinking through gnarly design problems, looking at interesting data, and talking to customers. Cat Wu, Claude Code’s head of product, recently said [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgZm9yIFByb2R1Y3QgTWFuYWdlcnMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9QcGxtemxnRTBrZz9zaT15c3kwd3ZIa1RWRWt6WWllXHUwMDI2dD0xMDkyIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEyfQ==], “As code becomes much cheaper to write, the thing that becomes more valuable is deciding what to write.” I wrote up the main skills that run my product management workflow in a guide [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgZm9yIFByb2R1Y3QgTWFuYWdlcnMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvYWktcHJvZHVjdC1tYW5hZ2VtZW50LWd1aWRlIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEzfQ==]. Below, I trace how I arrived at those skills and reflect on post-AI product management and software. WRITE THE ROADMAP AND NOTHING ELSE In my new role, the only product document I’ve written is the roadmap. Everything else—every PRD and every ticket—has been written by Claude. Writing is thinking, so as a new general manager, I wanted to take my time drafting Spiral’s roadmap. I spent several days understanding the product, usage trends, user feedback, and the market. I wrote about the problem Spiral can solve, how Spiral can solve it, and the features we’d need to build to deliver on it. I spent hours talking to several people at the company who’d worked on previous versions of Spiral and were current or former users of it themselves. (In the guide, I talk about the new /ce:strategy skill in compound engineering [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ2xhdWRlIENvZGUgZm9yIFByb2R1Y3QgTWFuYWdlcnMiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUxLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL0V2ZXJ5SW5jL2NvbXBvdW5kLWVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLXBsdWdpbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxNH0=] that interviews you to produce this document for your own product.)

DATA POINT 24 That’s the number of pull requests Kieran merged in a single day last week, a number he thinks is a personal record. A month ago, he’d average two or three. Kieran hit that pace because he’s automated most of the implementation process. His workflow: 1. Upload screen recordings of people using and reviewing Cora into Codex. 2. Have his agents watch the recordings, identify product fixes, and open pull requests against Cora’s repository overnight. 3. Review the pull requests when he wakes up. Initially, he worried he’d have to clean up agent-generated gobbledygook. Not the case. “So far, everything works great, and nothing breaks,” he says. “It feels like cheating.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAGGED FRONTIER WE’RE ALL ONE PROMPT AWAY FROM PERFECTION We’ve spent years talking about the addictiveness of social media algorithms, dopamine drips expertly designed to keep us scrolling. Engineers, being engineers, like to believe we’re above this, or at least better attuned to the mechanism behind our compulsion. But now it has come for us too: LLMs have become the social media feed for people who make things. Coding feels like playing the slots. It used to be that you could code something exactly to your specifications, but that required time, hard-worn expertise, and design skills if you wanted to make it look halfway decent. Now, I can throw an idea at Claude Code and get something close. I spend my days toggling between sessions, waiting to hit the jackpot and receive the perfect version of whatever I’m looking for —the perfect API design, the perfect bug fix. I tweak my prompt and pull the lever again. And again. And again until it’s somehow 3 a.m. It’s that sense of being almost there—but not quite—that’s so intoxicating. I ask Codex [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hvIElzbid0IFVzaW5nIEdQVCA1LjUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9wb2RjYXN0L2hvdy1vcGVuYWktcy1jb2RleC10ZWFtLXVzZXMtdGhlaXItY29kaW5nLWFnZW50IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI3fQ==] for five ways to structure a new feature and decide that I like option three, but want to keep the data model from option two. In its next turn—the next roll of the dice—it might magically marry the two to create the result needed. Or I might need to roll again. Each pull has the potential to patch the bug, or perfect the copy, or reveal a better plan. It feels like productivity and gambling got wired together, each turn a workspace lotto ticket. This is not only a coding problem. Writers feel it when they ask for one more way to structure an article or sharpen a sentence or revise a draft [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hvIElzbid0IFVzaW5nIEdQVCA1LjUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by93b3JraW5nLW92ZXJ0aW1lL3dyaXRpbmctd2l0aC1haS1pcy1oYXJkZXItdGhhbi15b3UtdGhpbmsiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjh9]. Product managers feel it when they ask for one more onboarding flow, roadmap, or way to sequence a launch. We are all always one prompt away from perfection. I do not have infinite hours. So at some point, I have to choose a path and stick with it, even though there are better ones. I accept that if the main shape of the solution is right, the edges can stay a little fuzzy. The most important skill isn’t choosing the right model or prompt engineering. It’s knowing when to take your winnings and move on.—Willie Williams [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hvIElzbid0IFVzaW5nIEdQVCA1LjUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9Ad2lsbGlld2lsbGlhbXMiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6Mjl9] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONE LAST THING BEHIND OPENAI’S GOBLIN BAN Starting a few releases back, OpenAI models developed an affinity for including references to creatures (sometimes visually, but mostly textual) in their outputs—raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, but most of all, goblins and gremlins [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hvIElzbid0IFVzaW5nIEdQVCA1LjUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuYWkuY29tL2luZGV4L3doZXJlLXRoZS1nb2JsaW5zLWNhbWUtZnJvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9]. “The goblins were funny at first, but the increasing number of employee reports became concerning,” the company said yesterday [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiV2hvIElzbid0IFVzaW5nIEdQVCA1LjUiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTUwLCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuYWkuY29tL2luZGV4L3doZXJlLXRoZS1nb2JsaW5zLWNhbWUtZnJvbS8iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzF9].

Here are the highlights: * The definition of fraud is expanding: Fraud used to be about payments and stolen credit cards. Now AI companies also have to defend against attackers stealing tokens from free trials, credits, and unpaid compute bills. “Fraud is now a full-funnel problem, not a transaction problem alone,” says Glassberg Sands. * AI is making fraud easier to execute and detect: Fraudsters now have AI on their side, but so do the companies trying to stop them. AI services also have higher marginal costs than traditional SaaS, so stolen compute can be burned through quickly or resold. * The internet needs to evolve: Stripe was built for an internet where people browsed, filled out forms, and clicked checkout buttons. Now, humans act through AI interfaces, agents act for them, and software increasingly interacts directly with other software. Every layer of the stack has to adapt to these new behaviors. * AI growth is still mostly new money: The top AI companies on Stripe are reaching $30 million in annual recurring revenue in about 18 months [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zdHJpcGUuY29tL2d1aWRlcy9pbmRleGluZy10aGUtYWktZWNvbm9teSIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoxM30=]—roughly three times faster than top SaaS companies from 2018. For now, that growth is largely net new spend rather than cannibalized software budgets, says Glassberg Sands. * Agents are snapping up commodities: Agentic commerce is real but still in its early stages, and focused on smaller purchases. People are more comfortable letting agents buy low-stakes, easily comparable items like Halloween costumes or school supplies than letting them book a summer trip or order an expensive couch.

That makes you treat databases like they’re permanent: set up carefully, maintained forever, scrutinized before you spin up another. Ghost makes them ephemeral. The first postgres built for agents to manage the lifecycle of the database. Native MCP lets your agent authenticate, introspect the schema, and run queries without you touching it. Works with Claude Code, Codex, any MCP client. And because pricing is usage-based across all your databases instead of per database, you can spin up 10, 20, 50 for parallel experiments without thinking about it. Free tier: unlimited databases, 1TB storage.

Why it matters: The economics were never quite honest. At $10—or even $200—per month, a developer running multi-hour autonomous coding sessions consumes far more compute than someone firing off a few quick questions. The math held up when AI tools were reactive assistants that sat idle between queries, but it makes far less sense for agentic workflows because agents don’t sleep. “Imagine a gym membership where the default assumption is that the person can work out 24/7 without rest,” says Mike Taylor [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbWlrZV8yMTE0IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI1fQ==], Every’s head of tech consulting. “Or even occupy 20 exercise machines at once.” It’s for this same reason that Anthropic banned OpenClaw [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9jb250ZXh0LXdpbmRvdy9ob3VzZS1ydWxlcy1mb3ItdGhlLWFnZW50cyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyNn0=] from Claude subscription plans: As the models have grown more capable at running untended on complex tasks [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9tZXRyLm9yZy90aW1lLWhvcml6b25zLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyN30=], they’re outgrowning price structures built around human workers. WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK: * GitHub is sending a preview bill to Copilot customers in early May before the new pricing goes into effect on June 1. Check it to avoid surprises. * If your team runs agentic workflows, estimate your token burn now. Add cost caps and monitor usage, especially for billing accounts that power your agents. * Experiment while you can. Use this “AI lifestyle subsidy” moment to figure out which workflows are novelties—and which are worth their weight in compute.—Jack Cheng [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AamFja2NoZW5nIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjI4fQ==] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSIDE EVERY DO YOU LIKE TALKING TO YOUR AGENT?

For Dan, agents become valuable when you learn their strengths and limitations, offer feedback, and fold your preferences into how they work. “The human connection is the key ingredient,” he says.

He doesn’t want an AI companion or sidekick but a system that takes over parts of his job so he can spend his time elsewhere. Recently, he used an AI agent workflow to process user complaint videos, identify product issues, make code changes, and open pull requests overnight. By morning, all he had to do was review the proposed fixes. It allowed him to merge 24 pull requests in a single day, whereas before AI, he might’ve done three—on a good day. Like Dan, Kieran invests in his agents, but the work is front-loaded—he spends time building their harnesses and tuning their systems so he has to interact with them as little as possible going forward. “I don’t enjoy talking to my agents,” he says. “I just want them to do their job.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEAL THIS WORKFLOW TURN CUSTOMER FEEDBACK INTO A PRODUCT QUEUE After Monologue Notes [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9vbi1ldmVyeS9pbnRyb2R1Y2luZy1tb25vbG9ndWUtbm90ZXMtcmVjb3JkLWV2ZXJ5LW1lZXRpbmctY2FsbC1hbmQtdm9pY2UtbWVtbyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjozM30=] launched last week, Naveen Naidu [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9AbmF2ZWVuXzY4MDQiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzR9] received a flood of feedback: 1,500 people had tried the product, and many had input for him. Here’s his post-launch workflow for managing and prioritizing support requests, which let him close roughly 30 issues in one day. Step 1: Send feedback from Intercom to Linear. Naveen uses a Linear [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by90aGVzaXMvaG93LXRvLWRlc2lnbi1mb3ItaHVtYW4tYWdlbnQtaW50ZXJhY3Rpb24iLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzV9] plugin inside Intercom, his customer support platform. When a user sends a feature request—such as cross-device syncing for dictation transcripts—he can turn it into a trackable issue in a couple of clicks. Step 2: Use triage intelligence for de-duplication. Every few days, Naveen reviews his Linear triage queue, which surfaces related and duplicate issues automatically, giving him insight into whether an individual request is part of a larger pattern across customers. Step 3: Route the work by size. For small requests, Naveen launches the Codex agent directly from Linear. For larger ones, he pastes the Linear issue into the Codex app, where he can add context and guide the work more closely. The queue helps him see what people are asking for, but deciding what warrants a product change—and how to build it—is still his job. Try it this week: Take five recent support tickets, create Linear items for each, let triage intelligence surface duplicates and related issues, and decide what you want your coding agent to build. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONE LAST THING HOW R2-C2, DAN’S OPENCLAW, SEES ITSELF Dan has been working with R2-C2, his OpenClaw and co-author [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiQ29tcHV0ZSBJcyB0aGUgTmV3IENhc2giLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MTQ5LCJwb3N0X3R5cGUiOiJwb3N0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9ldmVyeS50by9ndWlkZXMvY2xhdy1zY2hvb2w_c291cmNlPXBvc3RfYnV0dG9uIiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjM2fQ==], since February.

These connections, for many non-engineers, were the missing piece of the puzzle. What it means: Switching between ChatGPT and Claude based on the models’ personality differences might become a less-common occurrence. Instead, your desktop AI app has your API keys, your project files, and your daily workflows.

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.

Nixed: Pretending the human wrote it. The pretense that an agent-written document has to sound like the human who sent it is a relic of a bygone era—especially if other agents are reading too. 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. Compound knowledge is public on Every’s GitHub [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT25lIEFwcCB0byBSdWxlIEFsbCBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxNDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dpdGh1Yi5jb20vRXZlcnlJbmMvY29tcG91bmQta25vd2xlZGdlLXBsdWdpbiIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOH0=].

He checks agent-produced email drafts in Gmail, and strategy memos in Notion or Proof [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT25lIEFwcCB0byBSdWxlIEFsbCBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxNDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3Byb29mZWRpdG9yLmFpLyIsInBvc2l0aW9uIjoyOX0=]. 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? And as OpenAI, Anthropic, and others race to own the management layer, will it become another part of the archetypal user interface for knowledge work?—Laura Entis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katie Parrott [https://every.to/emails/click/f0c5caa7e8256dd8c113b027ae9f9eea50fda3786d0ec48d20cf9e30b51ed66a/eyJzdWJqZWN0IjoiT25lIEFwcCB0byBSdWxlIEFsbCBLbm93bGVkZ2UgV29yayIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQxNDcsInBvc3RfdHlwZSI6InBvc3QiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZXJ5LnRvL0BrYXRpZS5wYXJyb3R0MTIiLCJwb3NpdGlvbiI6MzB9] is a staff writer at Every.

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.

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.
