At @every, we've been supporting exec teams for a while. Those getting value from AI all run the same loop:

1- Get fluent: build something yourself first
2- Assign an owner
3- Automate one narrow, painful workflow (to start)
4- Build it to 95% (running evals & QA)
5- Scale the wins so other teams benefit

It's slower saying you 'automated your company' but it actually works.

Ultimately, implementing AI is all about the people. That's the best part!

Can confirm @every is a dream team

[Brandon Gell @bran_don_gell]

This is absolutely nuts to see Every on this list. One does not look like the others.

- almost no funding
- based in NYC
- research lab focused on the future of work…

Amazing.

The future belongs to designers who build.

Watch your agents work with @mainframe

[Vincent van der Meulen @vinvan]

the past year has been overwhelming.

agents are always running, and it feels impossible to stay up to date on what they've done.

unfortunately, this will happen in every area we introduce agents to.

there has to be a better way?!

at @mainframe, we think the answer is video.

[Jordan Singer @jsngr]

we're excited to share the new @mainframe, turning agent work into video explainers, recaps, and walkthroughs https://t.co/rLBo9sEEXI

[Mainframe @mainframe]

Introducing Mainframe: turn agent work into videos your team can keep up with.

[Kate Lee @katelaurielee]

We’re hiring a NY–based senior video producer at @every.

Help build our video presence across YouTube, X, and LinkedIn, working closely with @danshipper, our product GMs, and the rest of the team to turn day-to-day work into editorial video. Apply here: https://t.co/E6g3vCZceI

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Executive AI Sessions are one of my favorite things we do! Also one of the highest-leverage ways a team lead can spend their time right now. We're finally opening a few spots for operators ready to be on the edge of AI.
