Screen 1
The AI that can't chat just went viral.[1]
Screen 2
140,000 developers in 36 hours. Meet Jev. Made by TypeSafe AI. No chat. No essays. Just decisions.[1][2][3]

Ask it. Give it a message. Give it the options. ("I was charged twice" → Billing 91%, Support 7%, Sales 2%)[4]
The message and percentages are an illustration, not a real Jev output.
Screen 4
3 answers. Yes or no. Pick one. Score it. That's all it does.[4]
Screen 5
Why it won. Fast: about a tenth of a second per answer, TypeSafe says. Cheap: sorted 1,018 research papers for 8¢. Simple: it can only pick from your options.[5][6][7][8]
Screen 6
Not every AI job needs a chatbot. Sometimes you just need a yes.
Screen 7
