every · x · 2026-11-13
At Every's Thesis 2027 event, Trevin Chow, who leads Compound Engineering, framed the philosophy: "It's designed to not think for you, it's designed to help you think, which is what we're supposed to be really great at sometimes."
The line captures Compound Engineering's positioning of AI as an amplifier of human judgment rather than a replacement for it.
