Hello, we're live. Whoa, there was not a countdown. That's bizarre.
There was a countdown, but you missed it.
I never saw that. It's 30 seconds, isn't it?
Oh, well, hello, everyone, and welcome. Welcome, humans. Thank you for joining us. We started a minute early here. We just want to kick things off now that people are joining.
Yeah, yeah, just getting set up here. Going to be a good one. We're going to have Dan Schipper from Every in a few minutes, and Grant will tell us a little bit more about who he is in just a moment. Coming up before we get started, just a quick reminder that our NVIDIA contest is still active through this Sunday, so if you attended a session last week and took a screenshot, go throw it in there for a chance to win a free DGX Spark that we'll be giving away next week.
that is an extremely good computer y'all like you can win an extremely good computer for like four thousand four thousand dollar computer and have the envy of us both because neither one of us has one yeah and uh it is sad i would love to have one one of these days but uh
Yeah.
How do they sign up for that? What's the link? Do you know?
They're, I assume, going to drop that in the chat for us here momentarily.
Okay. Great. Good stuff.
Looks like our guest is here. Grant, would you like to take just a moment and introduce Dan?
Yeah, definitely. So today we're doing something special. We're live with Dan Shipper, CEO of Every. If you're not familiar, Every is a 15-person media company, maybe more, maybe less, I don't know. These days, Dan, you can tell us, that publishes a daily AI newsletter, ships multiple AI-powered products, and runs a consulting arm, and their engineers write virtually zero code by hand. You guys are awesome. Dan, welcome to the show. Really excited to have you. Thanks for having me. I'm psyched to be here.
Excellent. Yeah, it's great to meet you, Dan. Really appreciate you taking the time out of what I'm sure is a busy schedule to come join us.
Of course. Anytime. Appreciate it. I appreciate it. Dan, so I just want to start. We kind of had the hook for this episode as your saga with proof. We actually promoted proof in the newsletter as well. So I don't know if we contributed to your headaches there. But I appreciate it. It's good problems. Yes, exactly. But before we get into that, because I do want to talk all about that, for people who haven't come across Every yet, what is it you're building over there? Give us your pitch.
Every is the only subscription you need to stay at the edge of AI. We have three parts of the business. One is a daily newsletter about AI. The other is an app studio. We build AI apps that we use to work and live better with AI. We build them for ourselves and we release them to our audience. And then we have a training part of the business where we do live streams for subscribers and courses and all that kind of stuff. So you pay one price, you get access to ideas, apps, and training all bundled together. The apps that we make are things like Quora, which is an AI agent for your email. Sparkle, which organizes your files with AI. Monologue, which is a speech-to-text app, sort of like WhisperFlow or SuperWhisper.
Spiral, which is an AI ghostwriter. Now Proof, which is an agent-native document editor that I just built. And we just launched something new today. Oh, you launched it today? We launched it today. So this is my first time talking about it. You can check it out, every.to slash plus one. Plus ones are one-click hosted open clause that connect to your Slack, that connect to all of the every apps in our ecosystem. So they natively are connected to Cora. So they can do your email, to Spiral, so they can write for you in your voice, to Proof so they can write documents, all that kind of stuff. And then we have a bunch of skills and workflows that we've developed We've built into them in our working with OpenClaw.
So we started using OpenClaw all the time internally and basically found that it totally changed all of our workflows. Same. Right? And also working as a team is really interesting together when you have many claws all together in a Slack.
