Every killed its personal AI agents: maintenance pain forced a shared company agent
every · x · 2026-09-03
- Every admits it was wrong about giving each teammate a personal OpenClaw agent: after a few weeks, logins expired, integrations broke, and maintenance became painful. They shut down all personal Claws last month.
- The pivot: one shared "Every Agent" living in Slack that the whole team uses, eliminating per-person upkeep.
- Personal agents still make sense for recurring tasks where you accept the maintenance burden and need more authority than a company agent allows.
- They updated their OpenClaw guide to document where personal agents tend to break and how to limit their authority.
