Context Window

From Every Studio: Cora Assistant, Spiral Goes Agentic, and Sparkle De-dupes

The latest news from our product team

Each week in the Sunday edition of Context Window, we publish a roundup of news coming out of our product studio—the team of developers and entrepreneurs in residence building software with AI. We've been trying something new and publishing our Studio news as a standalone newsletter. We hope you find it useful—let us know what you think in the comments.—Kate Lee

Inbox, meet your new chief of staff. We think you'll get along.

This week in Cora, our inbox management tool, we launched Cora Assistant: your AI chief of staff who maintains your inbox, takes your feedback, and adapts to how you work.

Normally, this kind of help costs serious money. While virtual assistants cost $50-plus per hour and inbox management services cost $1,000-plus per month, Cora Assistant is included with your Every subscription, at zero added cost.

You can say things like:

"Make a category for Investor Updates and move all funding news there."
"Keep emails from every.to and vivian@writes.com in my inbox."
"If someone pitches me for my podcast, send them this link."

If you're not already a Cora user, skip more than 10,000 people on the waitlist and try Assistant today by subscribing to Every.

Spiral's going agentic. Here's what that means.

The first version of Spiral, our content generation tool, was a one-shot wonder: You'd feed it a prompt, and it'd spit out a content draft—say, some ideas for a tweet or headline. But if you wanted to tweak it ("Keep this, but make it more playful"), Spiral couldn't follow your intent, and you'd end up re-prompting from scratch..

The new Spiral is more like having a ghostwriter in your corner. It maps out what you're trying to say, builds a plan, and revises alongside you. Not quite sure what you're trying to say yet? It'll interview you to help figure it out. Under the hood, it's inspired by Claude Code. Just like its coding friend, the new Spiral makes to-do lists, reasons step by step, pulls inspiration from high-performing content, and applies proven writing principles we've collected.

As a result, Spiral doesn't just write for you. It thinks and writes with you. Want in on the beta? Reach out to Danny Aziz, Spiral's general manager, at danny@every.to.

Sparkle: free upwards of 20GB in files in one click using Duplicate Finder

Out with the old, more room for the new. Sparkle, our file management tool, just released a Duplicate Finder to beta users. It tracks down duplicate files by name and content, clearing out that endless trail of File (1), File (2), File (3), … File_Final, File_FINAL_ACTUALLY—you know the ones (or maybe you don't… which is exactly why you should try Duplicate Finder).

Ready to uncover a goldmine of forgotten files? Say hey: sparkle@every.to.
