My favorite little hack in Claude Code is asking its confidence level before letting it ship something. Anything under 90% confidence and I ask it to go find improvements until its more certain. Without a real technical background, asking a simple question like this dramatically improves everything from growth experiments to product PRs, like fixing this typing indicator bug on Plus Ones at @every.

I've learned more from working at @every for the past five months than I did in the previous five years of my career. It's an incredible place to live at the bleeding edge of AI, and we're hiring for five new roles on the team. One small example of what's different here: At previous companies, a custom landing page like our new careers home would have taken 3-6 weeks to launch, requiring coordination across multiple teams and contractors. It was slow and frustrating. We built this in a day using Claude Code with the Figma and Notion MCPs, pulling copy and page architecture from our existing codebase, design system, and internal knowledge hubs. While an agent jammed on the page in the background, I kept pushing on bigger growth bets. We did a quick round of reviews and then shipped it in under 24 hours. A lot more companies will look like @every in the next couple years. Come join us and show people how to build better businesses and live better lives with AI.

We're running a custom agents camp with @NotionHQ and @brian_lovin on Friday. Come see how agents are powering daily operations at @every and get our templates to use them yourself.

We're looking for one team of 10+ people to all onboard to +1 and skip the list. Anyone interested? You need to be willing to go all in with us and give a ton of feedback.

One-click OpenClaw in your Slack, supercharged with the tools we use to run the @every business via a fleet of agents. This has completely changed how we work.
Dan Shipper 📧@danshipper

BREAKING! Introducing Plus One: A hosted @openclaw that lives in your Slack and comes pre-loaded with @every's best tools, skills, and workflows. Set it up in one click, and use your ChatGPT subscription (or any other API key.) Bring your Plus One to work: every.to/plus-one Connected to the @every ecosystem Plus Ones automatically use @every's agent-native apps, no setup required: - @CoraComputer for searching, sending, and managing email - @TrySpiral for great writing in your voice - Proof (proofeditor.ai) for agent-native document editing Custom skills and workflows we use and love Plus Ones come pre-loaded with skills and workflows we use ourselves @every —some we've made, and some we think are great. - Content digest—summarizes the publications you read, starting with @every - Daily brief—your day's schedule and to-dos sent to you each morning - Animate—turn any static screenshot into an animation with @Remotion - Frontend—Anthropic's front-end skill (which we use all the time!) We also make it fast to connect Google, Notion, Github, and more to your Plus One. Our goal is to give you a capable AI coworker right away, not a vanilla OpenClaw that you have to teach from scratch. Why we built Plus One @OpenClaw has changed the way we work at Every. We effectively have a parallel org chart of AI coworkers, each with a name, a manager, and real responsibilities. Because of them our workflows are completely different—our company is different—and we would never go back. But getting here has been hard. Claws require a significant amount of manual setup and require a dedicated machine—like a Mac Mini—running 24/7 to stay responsive. We have learned that the hard part of Claws is the infrastructure around them—the hosting, the integrations, the skills, and the ongoing care. We’ve made them work great for our team, and we want to share everything we’ve learned with you. We're letting in 20 people a week to start, and scaling invites quickly from there. @Every subscribers get priority. Bring your Plus One to work: every.to/plus-one

"Why you need to throw out your product and start over every three to six months. AI progress means most of your harness will be outdated quickly—the best teams build this into their product strategy." This is super frustrating to accept at first, but a much better way of operating when it becomes part of your flow, even with knowledge work optimizations.

The rules of professional product development are being rewritten in real time. - PMs and designers can ship software as easily as engineers. - Software is no longer just built for humans—it’s also built for agents as first-class citizens. To better understand how we build products in this world, I invited Mike Krieger (@mikeyk) on @every’s AI & I podcast. Mike cofounded Instagram and is now a member of the technical staff at Anthropic, co-leading Anthropic Labs, their internal incubator for experimental products. He's been at the frontier of two transformative technology waves: mobile/social and now agent-native software. We discussed: - How to build a truly agent-native product. 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 safety/reliability for frontier products, an issue that Mike's team is learning how to solve. - What's different about building now versus building Instagram. At Instagram, it took months to hit dead ends and learn what to cut. Now, that cycle runs in hours. - The trap of building too much, too fast with agents. 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. - How Anthropic Labs structures product teams. New product experiments are led by only two people, usually a product manager or designer paired with an engineer. Mike says bigger teams tend to be too slow because of coordination costs. - Why you need to throw out your product and start over every three to six months. AI progress means most of your harness will be outdated quickly—the best teams build this into their product strategy. And much more! You should watch this one.

Thanks! I definitely don't think I've perfected it, but the compound step of compound engineering (and the compound knowledge fork I built) has been the most helpful. If there's context to update at the end of the session, I've got a slash command that shares it to any source of truth, like the Github repo for the project or a message to my OpenClaw.

@tedescau Just read this article. Love how you compared the early days of using ClaudeCode to following a recipe in a kitchen. How have you handled synchronous overlap between ClaudeCode and OpenClaw? Do you have a method for making sure they both share up-to-date context?

"By the time I had all the information I needed to do my job, I was mentally fried." Our head of growth @tedescau built a Plus One agent connected to Stripe, PostHog, Discord, @Notion, and email. It's the only way he does his job now. Thursday, the Plus One waitlist opens. How he built his: every.to/p/the-agent-th…

Wrote about my daily-driver agent for @every, and open-sourced the plugin I use the most for knowledge work.
