We use OpenClaws to do all of our work at @every.

We have 25 full-time employees, so we’re one of the few companies in the world that has seen how work changes when everyone has their own personal agent in the company Slack.

I chatted with @every COO Brandon (@bran_don_gell) and @every head of platform Willie (@bigwilliestyle) to share what we’ve learned.

We get into:
- Why agents become mirrors of their owners, and how that influences how other people on the team interact with them
- How a parallel AI org chart forms on its own. People have stopped tagging me on Slack with questions about Proof, the document editor I vibe coded, because they knew my agent R2-C2 can step in
- The etiquette for human-agent collaboration is being invented in real time. Brandon's rule is that if there's an established process or documented answer, always ask the agent, not their human
- Why everyone is a manager now, and why even experienced managers carry limiting beliefs about what their agents can do
- This is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand how AI workers change daily operations, not just in theory, but inside a company that’s half-agent
