About this episode

The episode discusses the implementation of AI agents for every employee at Every and its impact on work dynamics.

While walking to the office, our COO Brandon Gell had his AI agent call him and go over his emails in his inbox one by one. When he arrived, he opened Gmail and confirmed she'd done everything he'd asked. "My jaw is on the floor," he messaged me. That was the moment Every got serious about setting up each employee with their own agent. Today, it's a reality—and it has completely changed how we work. Dan Shipper talked to Every COO Brandon Gell and head of platform Willie Williams for Every's AI & I about what happens when everyone at a company gets their own AI sidekick.
