Lenny's Podcast

In this episode of Lenny's Podcast, host Lenny interviews Dan Shipper, CEO of Every, about leveraging AI in business. Dan shares his contrarian views on AI, including its potential to reshore American jobs and the underutilization of Claude code by non-coders. He details how Every, a 15-person company, operates at the cutting edge of AI by employing an AI-first approach, using AI operations leads, and focusing on "compounding engineering." Dan discusses Every's suite of AI-powered apps, their consulting arm, and the importance of a CEO's personal engagement with AI for successful company-wide adoption. He also touches on the shift from a knowledge economy to an allocation economy, where management skills become more valuable, and the increasing importance of generalists in the age of AI.
