    A New Vision for Human Work After Automation

    Thesis: 2027 is made possible by our founding partners, Lovable and Notion. Lovable is the fastest way to turn ideas into software people love: https://link.lovable.dev/every Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents work side by side: https://www.notion.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=thesis-2027&utm_content=every-261111-video What does great human work look like after automation? It’s a question we try to answer every day at Every, and the one we built our conference, Thesis, around. In his closing keynote, Dan Shipper argues that as AI makes intelligence cheap and widely available, what matters most is human perspective. It’s your “non-consensus” point of view, plus your responsibility for a particular corner of the world, that helps you spot the insight no one else would. On this week’s episode of The Every Podcast, we’re sharing Dan’s full talk at Thesis: 2027. Dan explains why benchmark charts make the future of work look bleaker than it is, why picking the right idea still takes a human, and how we should really measure AI models.

    The Inside Story of the 50 Who Built Modern AI With Kevin Roose

    How did the race to build AGI really unfold, and who made the decisions that shaped it? Tech journalist Kevin Roose interviewed 150 people at the center of the AI industry to find out. The result is The AGI Chronicles, a riveting account of  how modern AI was built and the choices that will determine what comes next.  On this week’s episode of The Every Podcast, Natalia Quintero sits down with Roose to talk about how he got a secretive industry to open up, how he did (and didn’t) use AI in his book writing process, and why he sees his job as explaining the “very confusing and insular” world of Silicon Valley to everyone else.

    Can You Use AI To Make Good Art? — With Fred Graver

    Subscribe to Every (free for 14 days): https://every.to/youtube-every-offer Can AI create good art?  Fred Graver thinks the answer depends on you. The Emmy Award–winning writer, producer, and founder of AI Writer’s Studio says AI can help with many parts of the creative process—but it can’t give you something to say. Without your own point of view, AI will only make your work more average. On this week’s episode of The Every Podcast, Natalia Quintero sits down with Graver. They discuss why every writer should have a ‘who I am as a writer’ document, the cast of AI collaborators he’s built into his own writers’ room, and the human quirks that make characters endearing—the part he insists AI can’t supply.

    How a Frontier Team Can Help Your Company Keep Up With AI

    Check out Gemini Audio: https://goo.gle/Every-Gemini-Audio Every time a new AI model drops, companies face the same dilemma: Figure out what’s new and how to use it, or focus on getting work done. Every solves this dilemma with a frontier team: a small group that tests new models and turns useful experiments into tools and workflows for the rest of the company. On this week’s episode of The Every Podcast, Natalia Quintero sits down with all seven members of Every’s frontier team to ask what they’re building—from a tabless browser that helps protect your attention to a personal agent orchestrator called Minga—and what they want to try next.

    How Hugging Face’s Investor Spots Winners

    Check out Gemini Audio: https://goo.gle/Every-Gemini-Audio Bet on founders who understand the technology, because their first idea probably won’t be the one that sticks. That’s the view of Matt Hartman, founder and managing partner of Factorial Capital. In 2016, as a partner at Betaworks, Hartman was part of the team that wrote the first check into Hugging Face, which was then a chatbot app for teenagers. Today it’s the largest hub for open-source AI, and Nvidia has agreed to buy it for about $13 billion. On this week’s episode of The Every Podcast, Hartman tells Natalia Quintero how backing Hugging Face shaped his investment thesis, how Factorial grew into a “family tree” of technical founders who help him scout deals, and why vibe-coding his own app gave him a new respect for SaaS.

    How Sam Altman Uses Dots to Take Back His Time

    Sam Altman's Dot, OpenAI's new always-on agent, gave him back the most productive part of his day. The OpenAI CEO would lose his early mornings—his window of "maximum creativity"—to whatever fire needed putting out. Now, his Dot triages those issues and flags only what's truly urgent. It's also gotten him building again: In spare moments, he gives his Dot ideas for a feature, and his Dot builds five or six versions for him to review. On the first episode of The Every Podcast (formerly AI & I), Dan Shipper interviews Altman at OpenAI's DevDay. They discuss how Altman uses his Dot to protect his time, why he only prompts on Ultrafast, and his belief that AI will spark a new Renaissance.

    How a Professional Writer Writes With AI

    Two years ago, Katie Parrott was laid off from a crypto firm and couldn’t afford a career coach—so she turned to a $20-a-month ChatGPT subscription instead. The Every staff writer’s habit of feeding AI good context eventually became compound writing, a codified system for brainstorming, drafting, and editing with AI. Today, that system is a plugin any writer can use. On this week’s AI & I, Natalia Quintero talks with Katie about turning good ingredients into good writing, borrowing the taste of writers she admires, and why AI helped her fall back in love with the page.
