Our summary
The author explains Jev, an AI tool that chooses from given options rather than writing an answer. People use it to sort large amounts of information, like organizing emails, because the creator claims it is much faster and cheaper than standard AI assistants.
You give the software a piece of text and a list of allowed answers. It picks an option and provides a confidence score. Your own computer program then uses this score to decide whether to act automatically or ask a person for help.
This tool is useful for software that makes thousands of repeated choices, but it has strict limits. It cannot write sentences, do math, or look at pictures. While it will never invent an answer outside your list, it can still pick the wrong option.
Key takeaways
- Use this tool for repeated choices and yes-or-no decisions, not for writing paragraphs.
- You must provide the text to check and the exact list of allowed answers.
- The software gives a confidence score, but your own program must decide what to do next.
