Every trades personal agents for one shared company agent in Slack

Every's head of platform Willie Williams says his token usage plummeted when he returned to engineering management: AI could gather information, but the next step was usually a conversation to unblock his team.
Key points:
- From personal to company agent: Every replaced everyone's individual agents with one shared Slack-based company agent (the Every Agent), arguing "does it do the thing?" matters more than personality at work
- Token efficiency: engineer Paridhi Agarwal shares a four-step workflow to find token waste, since Every passes agent token costs to users at no markup
- Dan Shipper recounts growing attached to a named agent that died with a knocked-loose power cord, its tasks since absorbed by Codex
