one thing i noticed after a month of calls with designers is a weird generation gap between people who are scared of ai and people who are excited about it you would expect younger designers to be more into ai, but it’s often the opposite. the most excited people i meet have been in design for 12+ years designers with about 5 years of experience came into a world that was stable: big design teams, enterprise jobs, high salaries, and a slow process of design systems and jira tasks. ai is a huge risk if you define design work around components. it’s pure production, it needs to be automated, and it was an anomaly from the start people who started 12+ years ago saw a design world without any of that. small freelance gigs, low pay, and no way to do 3d or animation on your own. but they had a lot of ideas, and that’s why they came. they worked in photoshop cs3 and indesign and downloaded brushes from the internet now design is going back to what it should be. not a huge layer of production, but meaning, purpose and form

designers, how are you using ai to streamline your design workflows? any fun tips/tricks you’ve discovered?

i wonder if the best personal agent is just a to-do list where agents proactively try to knock everything out

Add the Every Agent to Slack: every.to/agent Why it's hard to AI-pill your coworkers If you’re the AI-pilled one at work, you know the problem: you discover something incredible in Claude or Codex, but getting your coworkers to try it is another matter. The problem is that most of your AI use is invisible. You do it alone, in a terminal or a chat window. Your coworkers see the finished report or the five new ads, but they never see the request that produced them, or the corrections you made along the way. When you describe it afterward, it sounds like magic, but nobody learns a magic trick without seeing how it’s done. Why a company agent, in Slack, solves this problem When you use a company agent like the @every agent you go from prompting in private, to prompting in public. In a Slack channel, a coworker who would never open a terminal scrolls past a thread with your agent interaction and thinks: I could do that too. This lets you show instead of tell your coworkers about your discoveries. New AI tools and workflows then spread naturally and virally across your organization. That's why we made the @every agent for ourselves—and why we're releasing it to you today. Add the Every Agent to Slack: every.to/agent
