I have a confession to make: I'm Notion agent-pilled.
It started at Every's Custom Agent Camp last week. Our COO Brandon Gell and head of growth Austin Tedesco walked through four agents they've built to help run the company—prioritization, action items from meetings, OKR planning, and growth tracking. I watched the whole thing thinking: why haven't I done this yet?
So I made an agent myself.
My agent monitors Every's Slack and scouts for things that could make good newsletter stories. Hot takes, interesting threads, cool workflows—the kind of thing that's worth writing about but only if someone catches it. If I were doing this job myself, I'd have time for nothing else. The agent does it instead. It drops what it finds into our writers' room channel in a format the editorial team can scan and act on.
Agents are at their best when they do the things you don't have enough hours to do—the constant monitoring, the pattern recognition, the pulling-from-multiple-sources that requires a human to spend twenty minutes in four different tabs. An agent does it in the background and hands you the distilled version.
The Every Inc. team has been doing this systematically. Anton handles daily prioritization across the whole company. Max turns meeting transcripts into linked task lists. A strategy agent ran OKR planning in two days. Another posts Austin's growth scorecard to Slack every morning without him pulling a single number.
I wrote about the whole thing—what each agent does, how it's built, and the prompts to make your own. Link in the comments.
