Every's 'frontier team': keeping up with AI models is now a full-time company job
every · x · 2026-10-26
Content company Every describes its 'frontier team' practice on The Every Podcast: a small crew whose full-time job is testing each new model, assessing its implications for products and workflows, and converting useful experiments into articles, products, and tools — so the rest of the company stays focused on the roadmap.
Founder Dan Shipper calls the setup 'kind of transformative', framing the dilemma every company faces: ignore the frontier and risk disruption by an unseen 'agent-native version of your product', or have everyone chase new tools and never build anything lasting.
The episode also covers interviews with team members by head of enterprise AI adoption Natalia Quintero, a code-review skill for non-coders, and using AI to handle a cybersecurity incident.
