Every's Astra agent wrote a 3,000-word launch article on its own, four hours after hearing the news

Dan Shipper recounts how Astra, Every's writing agent, picked up word of a product launch at 3 am and produced a complete 3,000-word vibe check by 7 am. He woke to a Google Doc with a well-structured article, proper sections, a good headline and appropriate screenshots, and initially assumed colleague Katie had written it — she had only given Astra a single prompt. The episode showcases how far autonomous agents have come at handling real editorial workflows end to end.
