Every's Mike Taylor on a Writing Workflow With AI That Starts Before the Prompt

Every head of evals Mike Taylor lays out the writing workflow he uses with AI, from writing the title first and collecting sources to recording a spoken monologue and generating drafts from Claude Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. He says the process cut his time for a 1,200-word piece from a day to under two hours with no drop in traffic or positive reader comments, and he still writes the introduction and conclusion himself and expects 20-30 percent of a draft to change during self-editing.
