From Every Studio

At our third quarter Demo Day on Friday, the Every Studio team shared our fall lineup, including public launches, complete rebuilds, and new experiments. Here are the highlights:

Monologue's public launch set for September 16

After a month of design polish, AI dictation app Monologue is set to go live in just over a week. Naveen Naidu Mummana, Monologue's general manager, says users’ enthusiasm is awesome to see—people are using the app so much that he’s been pushed out of the top 25 on its built-in leaderboard, despite him "living in Monologue day in, day out." An iOS version is targeted for the end of September. Download it now.

Spiral v2 early access goes live today

The complete rebuild of AI writing app Spiral is now available to Every subscribers. Spiral general manager Danny Aziz built the new version to interview you for facts, show three different writing angles, and analyze your online presence to write in your voice from the start. Keep an eye out for the public launch in October.

Sparkle Search ships, with natural language processing coming next week

AI organizing app Sparkle launched search functionality last week. Yash Poojary, Sparkle’s general manager, is finishing natural language capabilities that will let Sparkle answer questions like, "What PDFs did I open last week?" with a plan to ship early next week. Every subscribers get Sparkle free—download it now to try the current search, then get the upgrade when it drops.

Every Teams reaches 300 organizations

Over 300 teams have signed up since Team accounts launched last month, including at companies like Substack, Stainless, and The Browser Company. Growth lead Victor Stepanov showcased how the admin controls let teams toggle which Every products team members can access while keeping onboarding simple. Create your team through your account settings.

Para AI legal assistant moves to MVP

What started as a hackathon project during Every's Think Week retreat in July is graduating to formal MVP development. Para is an AI in-house counsel that organizes legal files and answers complex document questions through a Slack bot. The team is building e-signature integration and template management for a launch in the coming months.
