Jev is HERE. How to use it

September 18, 2026 · 28 min

Show notes

In this episode, I talk with Ryan Vogel about Jev, a new type of AI built for classification. Ryan shows how Jev takes an input plus an output schema and returns a probability for each choice in about 200 milliseconds. He demos Jev sorting 1,700 emails for 18 cents total, then covers lead scoring, support routing, video clipping, and browser control. I push him on the startup angle: find a business with an expensive queue of incoming information and put Jev at the front of it. You leave with a clear mental model, real use cases, and a simple way to try it today.

Key Points

  • Jev is a classifier: an input and an output schema go in, and a probability for each choice comes out.
  • Ryan's demo scores 1,700 emails for 18 cents total.
  • Each Jev query takes about 200 milliseconds, whatever the input and output structure.
  • Use Jev at any point where a business makes fast, repeatable decisions on incoming data.
  • Keep Jev in an advisory role, and save frontier models for high-intelligence tasks like trading.
  • Instant access runs through the Vercel Gateway, and a waitlist covers direct access.
