TypeSafe AI founder pitches Jev at a16z as a step toward real automation
In an a16z elevator pitch, TypeSafe AI's Diogo Almeida says Jev is the company's first model for making AI build real software automation rather than only serving humans in the loop.
TypeSafe AI's Diogo Almeida's elevator pitch for Jev: "Where the f**k is all the automation?" "AI is so unbelievably smart. Not that I hate on chatbots or coding agents, I love them myself, but it's so useless at all other stuff. It's tragic." "TypeSafe is making AI for software. We want to make AI powerful, not just for humans in the loop, but to actually build real software. Jev, to us, is our first model in this whole space to make [automation] way, way better." "I like Claude Code and Codex. I love the description from Garry Tan and them: It's just-in-time software. It makes software on the fly, and you can program software in natural language, but it has the same expressive power as software." "What I want instead is smart software. Instead of automating software engineering, I want to expand what software itself can do, such that things that should be automatable can then be automatable." "I want to express things like intent. I want to expand the vocabulary of what we can do." "Programming is hyper-specifying valuable things and then infinitely replicating them. It's so freaking cool." @CompleteSkeptic
