How a Frontier Team Can Help Your Company Keep Up With AI
Dan Shipper and Natalia Quintero tour Every's frontier team, with Mike Taylor, Katie Parrott, Yannick, Kieran Klaassen and others showing how a dedicated group can test new AI models without distracting the rest of the company.
The gist
-
Dan Shipper says a frontier team separates keeping up with AI from daily work, pairing fast-moving pirates with architects who make experiments maintainable.
-
Mike Taylor had Opus comb his Slack and Granola notes to build an explainer video, and urges people to give AI access to all their context.
-
Ariel built a dashboard tracking token spend by person, model and type of work, so the team can judge whether experiments were worth the cost.
-
Katie Parrott is adding an audience.md file to her Compound Writing plugin, next to her voice and style guides, to get feedback on reader fit.
-
Kieran Klaassen says frontier teams must listen to colleagues and get ideas adopted, rather than dumping 100 experiments in a channel.
