Non-developer builds four Jev demos in one day
A non-coder built four Jev demos in a day — an email sorter, a customer-review playground, a message-sending check, and a pitch coach — plus a three-question test for whether something suits Jev.
In one day, I went from complete fucking noob to... a Jev power user? (Read this, and you can too!) I've been playing with Jev, a new AI model from @typesafeai. I'm not a developer, so I wanted to find out what I could actually build with it. I made four increasingly crafty/interesting demos: An email sorter 2,000 test emails sorted into buckets in 4.4 seconds, for about 4 cents. It flags uncertain cases for a human to review. A customer-review playground Would this person buy again? What should we improve? How did they feel about the product? Ask all three and get answers your app can use. “Should I send this Message?” Got anger issues? Give it your draft Slack or email... whether you're about to rage quit, or saying something nice. It picks send now, soften first, sleep on it, or say it in person. “Am I bombing?” A pitch-coach experiment. The browser uses Face API to turn camera and voice cues into numbers; Jev uses those to suggest feedback. I simulated nervous and confident pitches to show the feedback changing. Each one uses the same basic idea: give Jev the situation and the possible answers. It picks an answer, tells the app how sure it is, and the app uses that result. You can start with one judgment you're tired of making over and over! Here's my Jev Test™ for new and existing projects: (1) Do I keep asking the same question? (2) Can I name the possible answers? (3) Would deciding faster or more often actually help? If something in your work passes all three, that's a place to start. Full 10-minute walkthrough attached, including when I'd still use Claude or ChatGPT. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/z5EJxRpdJvI What decision at work would you build one of these for? (Shoutout to @tenex_labs' finest -- @seejayhess and @_raghavdixit_ -- for the knowledge you imparted for this one!!)
