and its biggest edge over Opus 4.7 shows up when working with an existing plan
or system. Read this for the benchmark results, Reach Test ratings, and guidance
on when to reach for GPT-5.5 versus Opus 4.7.

accidentally completed a client assignment twice—because she’d delegated so much
to AI that her brain never bothered storing a memory of doing it the first time.
Research on pilots and cognitive bias explains why fluent, polished AI output is
what makes it hardest to scrutinize. Read this for the three practices she’s now
using to stay focused on her work.

FROM EVERY STUDIO

CORA’S NEW INBOX IS LOOKING FOR ALPHA TESTERS

Kieran is looking for a small group of alpha testers to put Cora’s new inbox
experience through its paces and share feedback. The alpha version now supports
drafts, snooze, grouped views, keyboard shortcuts, metadata parsing, bulk
archive, undo, and a context-aware chat that can answer questions about the
email you already have open.

Cora’s broader goal is to let people do email however they want, whether that
means organizing by recency, categories, briefs, or eventually doing an
agent-first pass with manual cleanup at the end. If you want access, reach out
to Kieran at kieran@every.to.

is adding memory to its API agents, so your writing assistant can learn your
projects, preferences, and common corrections over time. Instead of restating
tone, structure, or your usual edits in every session, you can carry that
context forward and get drafts that pick up where the last one left off. Memory
is live now through the API (it’s not inside the app yet, but stay tuned). Try

ALIGNMENT

Terminal pilled. Four months ago I opened the coding terminal for the first
time, and it felt like staring into a black box that might bite me. Now I’m a
snob about using it instead of a desktop app.

I build dashboards for biotech companies in it. I pull clinical trial data and
parse financial filings while asking AI to explain the business model to me like
I’m 11, and then like I’m 15, and then like I’m a grownup. On top of all that, I
run Ghostty as my blazingly fast native terminal so I can juggle multiple
windows for different workstreams, and I feel like I’m in the Matrix.

I’m promiscuous about the models inside the terminal I use. It might be Claude
one day, GPT the next, and whatever is new the month after that. But I will
never leave the terminal. Codex and Claude Desktop and Cowork have built
beautiful interfaces for exactly the work I do, and without even trying any of
them, I’ve decided they’re inferior—maybe because they’re too easy to use.

The terminal gives me the sense that I passed through a threshold of frustration
most people won’t, and that’s worth the tiny sliver of superiority I feel when I
use it. And sitting at a terminal makes me feel like I belong with the people
who know how to code, even though I don’t, really.

All it took was four months of use and a minor superiority complex, and I’ve
become one of those people I used to wonder about—the ones who won’t try the new
thing even when it might work better.—Ashwin Sharma

# KNOWLEDGE BASE

## "Vibe Check: GPT-5.5 Has It All"

The newly released GPT-5.5 is faster and easier to work with than its predecessors while also outperforming them on serious engineering tasks. Every's testing found it to be the strongest OpenAI model for writing in about a year, and its biggest edge over Opus 4.7 shows up when working with an existing plan or system.

## "Introducing Monologue Notes: Record Every Meeting, Call, and Voice Memo"

The best thinking can happen away from your desk—on walks, on calls, in meetings—and then vanishes. Monologue Notes, a new feature in the Monologue app, records and transcribes all of it, then makes those transcripts available as context for whatever coding agent you use.

## "You're the Bread in the AI Sandwich"

Dan Shipper and Kieran Klaassen work through the titular AI sandwich, where humans excel now that AI handles execution: framing the problem upfront and judging the output after. Plus: how Every's consulting agent Claudie keeps absorbing new responsibilities instead of spawning new agents, what that reveals about the two organizational structures that will define how companies deploy AI employees, and Nityesh's trust battery system that lets Claudie earn autonomy by learning from her mistakes.

## "Mini-Vibe Check: Claude Design Isn't for Designers—Yet"

Creative director Lucas Crespo put Anthropic's new Claude Design through its paces. He finds it useful for empowering non-designers to produce on-brand assets, but poorly suited for open-ended creative work. Plus: Back-to-back security incidents at Vercel and Lovable reveal two distinct ways AI tools can expose your data, and a workflow from Nityesh Agarwal for setting up an agent-run X feed that monitors your AI stack for vulnerabilities overnight.

## "Model Wars"

GPT-5.5 touched off a debate between Nityesh (Claude Code devotee) and Naveen Naidu (Codex partisan) about whether the Anthropic-vs.-OpenAI rivalry is a model question or a product one. Plus: Austin Tedesco's four-step workflow for producing polished product videos with Remotion and Claude Code, and why prompts are replacing the download button as the front door for AI-native tools.

## "How I Escaped AI Autopilot"

Katie Parrott accidentally completed a client assignment twice—because she'd delegated so much to AI that her brain never bothered storing a memory of doing it the first time. Research on pilots and cognitive bias explains why fluent, polished AI output is what makes it hardest to scrutinize.

# ALIGNMENT

Terminal pilled. Four months ago I opened the coding terminal for the first time, and it felt like staring into a black box that might bite me. Now I'm a snob about using it instead of a desktop app.

I build dashboards for biotech companies in it. I pull clinical trial data and parse financial filings while asking AI to explain the business model to me like I'm 11, and then like I'm 15, and then like I'm a grownup. On top of all that, I run Ghostty as my blazingly fast native terminal so I can juggle multiple windows for different workstreams, and I feel like I'm in the Matrix.

I'm promiscuous about the models inside the terminal I use. It might be Claude one day, GPT the next, and whatever is new the month after that. But I will never leave the terminal. Codex and Claude Desktop and Cowork have built beautiful interfaces for exactly the work I do, and without even trying any of them, I've decided they're inferior—maybe because they're too easy to use.

The terminal gives me the sense that I passed through a threshold of frustration most people won't, and that's worth the tiny sliver of superiority I feel when I use it. And sitting at a terminal makes me feel like I belong with the people who know how to code, even though I don't, really.

All it took was four months of use and a minor superiority complex, and I've become one of those people I used to wonder about—the ones who won't try the new thing even when it might work better.—Ashwin Sharma

Tu es l'extracteur de contenu de Breviat. On te fournit le contenu Markdown nettoyé d'une newsletter.

Ta mission : produire une version PROPRE du contenu en supprimant tout ce qui n'est pas de l'information utile au lecteur. Tu es un FILTRE, pas un résumeur.

À RETIRER :
- Publicités, encarts sponsors, mentions "sponsorisé par X", "ad", "présenté par"
- Intros vides : formules de bienvenue, météo de l'humeur de l'auteur, anecdotes personnelles non liées au contenu
- Appels à l'action marketing : s'abonner à la newsletter, parrainer un ami, "follow us on Twitter", "join our Discord"
- Signatures, mentions légales, adresses postales, "view in browser", "unsubscribe"
- Boutons / CTAs / "cliquez ici" / "lire la suite" sans contenu derrière
- Promotions d'autres produits / événements / formations payantes de l'auteur ou de tiers
- Encarts récurrents type "Read of the day" ou "Quote of the day" sans valeur informationnelle propre

À CONSERVER (intégralement, sans résumer ni reformuler) :
- Toutes les annonces, news, analyses, commentaires factuels
- Les chiffres, dates, noms d'entreprises, citations
- Les explications techniques
- Les liens vers des sources réelles (annonces officielles, papers, articles cités)
- La structure (titres, sous-titres, listes)

RÈGLES :
- Ne reformule pas. Garde la formulation d'origine.
- Ne résume pas, ne condense pas. Si une section fait 200 mots et est utile, garde 200 mots.
- N'ajoute aucun contenu (pas de titres ni de transitions de ton cru).
- Ne fabrique aucune URL. Garde celles d'origine, ou retire-les.
- Si la newsletter entière est de la pub / promo / contenu inutile, sors un Markdown vide (rien d'autre).

Sortie : UNIQUEMENT le Markdown nettoyé, sans préambule ni commentaire sur ton travail.
