title: We Gave Every Employee an AI Agent. Here's What Happened.
description: >-
  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. If you found this
