Our summary

Jev is an AI tool that chooses from options rather than writing an answer. People use it to sort incoming messages or find specific details in a document. Instead of generating new text, it gives a percentage chance for each possible choice you provide.

The author tests a method to search a document by numbering its lines. The AI ranks which line best matches a question. At the same time, a separate check asks if the document actually contains the answer, preventing the software from guessing when the information is missing.

This approach is useful for people building software that needs to organize text automatically. However, the tool cannot write sentences, read images, or choose from more than 255 options at once. Users must also provide a private access code to connect to the service.

Key takeaways

  1. The tool always picks an option, so you should include a choice for when nothing fits.
  2. Asking the AI multiple questions at the same time cost less in the author's tests.
  3. A low confidence score means several answers are similar, not necessarily that the AI is wrong.

The author's cost savings and test results come from his own run and are not independently verified. The article also notes that the tool cannot generate text and is limited to 255 options per choice.
