Every launches Slack-based shared company agent, passing token costs through with no markup
every · x · 2026-10-10
Every released the Every Agent, an agentic coworker living in Slack that serves the whole company and helps teams go AI-native. Its pricing passes token costs straight through with no markup, so every token saved goes to the user.
Engineer Paridhi Agarwal explains how she made the agent more token-efficient and shares a four-step workflow for finding token waste in your own software. The piece also covers Every's shift from everyone running personal agents (like Dan Shipper's R2-D2, later replaced by Codex) to one shared company agent, and Dan Shipper using an OpenAI Dot to follow team updates over a weekend without drowning in Slack. Podcast guest Willie Williams, Every's head of platform, discusses the transition.
