Every Innovation
What problem does the Every solve?
Every was created specifically to facilitate understanding and connection. In a time when divisive narratives often take center stage, Every is focused on highlighting shared human experiences and uncovering common ground. It operates on the core belief that AI when employed thoughtfully, can elevate rather than replace the human experience and change the world for the better.
The app includes trained large language models and other generative AI tools to create conversational games ranging in content from fun and lighthearted topics (such as icebreakers) to deep and meaningful topics (such as exploring emotions and purpose). As users play the games, Every surfaces insights, understanding, and points of commonality between people.
How can this transform the world or our day-to-day lives?
We live in an increasingly complex world that requires collective action, yet 70% of Americans feel distrust is hurting American society, and 58% feel no one in their life knows them well. Divisiveness and loneliness are dominant themes that have been occurring, making communication and connection increasingly difficult in today’s society.
AI offers a unique opportunity to enhance the human experience by promoting unity, understanding, and cooperation on a scale that was previously unimaginable. By leveraging AI, we can work towards a world where differences are celebrated, common ground is cherished, and collective action leads to positive change. AI also has so much potential to enhance relationships. Focusing on Every, when users interact with our conversational games, Every pinpoints common ground between people. For example, you might find you and your classmate share a love for international travel, your team prioritizes humility in the workplace, or you and your partner both naturally take time to build trust. In this way, Every facilitates better conversation, awareness, and connection.
McKean Entrepreneur
What is the “Founder story”?
I’ve been an entrepreneur my whole life, starting my first company while I was in college. In 2009, I established Savored, the nation’s leading provider of yield management technology for the restaurant industry. Following the acquisition of Savored by Groupon in 2012, I served as Vice President and General Manager there, where I was responsible for managing its Reserve program.
Following my time at Groupon, in 2015, I founded Hungryroot and have since grown the company into an AI-powered grocery and recipe service that has redefined food-at-home, making it more personal, sustainable, and economical. My latest passion project venture, “Every,” harnesses the power of AI to create thought-provoking, conversational games, offering people a novel way to reflect, understand diverse perspectives, and forge deeper relationships.
How did you come up with the idea?
As I’ve immersed myself in the power of AI through my work at Hungryroot over the past couple of years, I’ve begun to believe there is an opportunity to use artificial intelligence to help us connect as humans. We all see and think differently, and AI can help us sort through that complexity. I created Every based on the belief that there is something to learn from every person and every perspective.
