Safety & review

Agent action filter

Pre-check on every agent action. Best setup: Jev filters everything and only suspicious actions go to Gemini. That caught all tested attacks at lower cost.

Computer use

Ad stripping

Chrome extension walks the DOM and removes ads in real time.

Agents

Agent dispatch

Replaced the model that routes each Firstmate task to an agent. On 25 tasks it matched Fable's routing in about 200 ms, about 71% cheaper and 90% faster.

Agents

Agent handoff gate

Lead agent verifies worker evidence before accepting a result, instead of re-reading every job. After about 10 hours, lead-agent token use was about 60% lower.

Agents

Agent memory retrieval

Used Jev on his custom memory system. He reports 94% fewer tokens and 2-3x faster memory retrieval. He calls it a quick test.

Agents

Agent progress watch

JevScope judges whether a coding agent is aligned, progressing, or stuck. Traces alone do not say that.

Search & data

AI assistant reranker

Shipped Jev to production as their AI assistant's reranker, still behind a feature flag for selected customers. Early numbers: 3.3x faster (390 ms vs 1.29 s p50), slowest call 0.5 s vs 3.1 s, 55% cheaper, 0 errors.

Safety & review

AI review speedup

Ported an AI review feature from GPT models (about 2 minutes) to Jev. Same results in testing, in seconds instead of minutes.

Safety & review

API abuse classifier

Added Jev to DeepAPI. On this benchmark it ignored all legitimate API calls and flagged all abusive ones, for less than $0.001.

Creative & real-time

Atari lab

Open-sourced lab where game state plus typed questions drive the agent, with replayable evidence.

Safety & review

Auto-approve hook

Open-source jev-guard hook for cheap auto-approvals, because built-in auto-approve modes are missing or expensive.

Search & data

Auto-part pair matching

Decides whether two supplier listings are the same part. On 35k items, Gemini was about $23 and about 4 pairs/s; Jev was about $1.50, about 150 pairs/s, and finished in 4 minutes. They agreed on 89%. He frames it as a test, not a stated production deploy.

Search & data

Book-writing triage

Replayed 3,300 real decisions: source ranking, message routing, and already-sent checks. Jev caught 13 support preferences their classifier had dumped in other. Correct-source-first went from 60% to 90%.

Computer use

Browser control

Sends Stagehand's accessibility tree and candidate actions to Jev, which picks the next action. One remote-browser task cost $0.001.

Computer use

Browser-agent action picker

Jev is live on rtrvr.ai, a free browser agent. Recorded tasks took about 40% less time. The LLM plans and writes code; Jev chooses the next browser action. One find-creators task took 40 seconds.

Search & data

Bulk email classifier

Jev classified 500 emails in seconds for 3.5 cents.

Agents

Claude Code rule picker

jev-rules asks one yes/no per project rule in a single Jev call and injects only the rules that score yes into Claude Code. In his recordings Jev judged 12 rules in 367 to 773 ms, about $0.00002 per prompt. Over 8 checkout prompts, delivered rules were about 330 tokens versus about 1,390 for loading all 12.

Search & data

Clinic intake

Dental triage as 25 typed facts plus a code rule table, shared by the phone agent and the mailbox. On 1,240 emails, time per email went from 2.0 seconds to 0.29 seconds. Won 19 of 23 blind disagreements. Confidence bands choose act, review, or human. Silence is the decision for 23% of the inbox.

Safety & review

Code review

Script.it scores the raw git diff with Jev and only calls an LLM when Jev flags something. Zero false positives on their review data, about 50x faster and 100x cheaper than a GLM, Grok, and Gemini ensemble. The ensemble caught more bugs. Jev caught about 3 in 4.

Agents

Codex context handoff

A context-handoff plugin uses Jev to filter old read-only tool records while keeping instructions, file paths, and unfinished work. Ships as a Codex skill, MCP tool, and CLI, open source under MIT.

Agents

Coding-agent auto mode

She had turned auto mode off in her coding agent because classification was slow, and turned it back on now that they are using Jev.

Agents

Coding-agent decisions

28 decisions across sandbox security, search ranking, and accessibility. Tokens dropped from 49,000 to 8,739, about 3x faster, and cost went from $0.24 to $0.0026.

Agents

Coding-agent file filter

Put Jev in front of Claude to filter candidate files in Aition. 33% fewer files to the model, 25% fewer tokens, 23% less cost, $0.037 to score 543 files at 0.38s per file, and 0 loss in recall.

Safety & review

Command safety review

Benchmarked Jev as the shell-command reviewer in Vercel's fx. Up to 18x faster at p95 and more accurate than GPT Luna, and it may become the default.

Agents

Context compaction

Score every tool call and drop the junk instead of a summarization prompt. Matt Van Horn's roundup says a Claude plugin took one session from 1 million tokens to 86,000 in one second. Link is the roundup, not the original build posts.

Safety & review

Custom X feed filter

Chrome extension hides engagement bait, empty hooks, and ads before they are seen. Rules are plain English; Jev checks every post in half a second. A follow-up says it cost about $0.002 for 100+ posts.

Agents

Deal and workflow gates

Tested Jev against gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.6-sol, and gpt-6-astra on deal-signal detection, request routing, tool selection, memory decisions, and workflow discovery. Jev was 16x cheaper than mini and about 230x cheaper than astra. Stronger on deal-signal detection; larger models were better on complex memory judgments.

Computer use

Desktop computer use

Turns what the driver sees into bounded action IDs and lets Jev pick one. One run: 44.9 seconds and about $0.001, versus Astra at 294.9 seconds and about $1.45. They say that is one run only.

Safety & review

jevscan is a Chrome extension that detects malicious addresses and transactions on Etherscan in real time using Jev.

Agents

Tested Jev against GPT-5.5 and a few lines of if/else on one job: deciding what a coding agent does after a failed test. Jev's routing cost was 125x lower than GPT's.

Computer use

Flight search

Wired Jev to Browser Use, with a small LLM only for typing. Finding flights took 7 seconds and cost $0.0039. Open-sourced.

Search & data

Agents

Herd agent router

Built an agent router using Jev plus Herd, and posted a video of it. Light on measured results.

Agents

Inbox sweep triage

Jev is inside Agently's inbox sweep. On the same 47 messages: about 14s to under 1s per sweep, 7x cheaper per decision at the same context, 30% cheaper while reading 5x more of each message. Sweeps every 5 minutes instead of every 55. 38 ignored, 8 sorted to him, 5 with a reply drafted, 1 flagged as unsure.

Agents

Instant tool-call compaction

Uses Jev for instant compaction: score every tool call and drop what is irrelevant, instead of a summarization prompt. This is her own post, not the roundup.

Computer use

iOS simulator control

Added an agent command to AXe, a non-agentic iOS simulator tool. Jev picks the next action from the prompt and the current state.

Search & data

Job-page crawler

Rebuilt a job crawler with Jev: start at a company homepage, find Careers, and score roles against his profile. An LLM version took about 5 minutes; Jev took just over 20 seconds in his test. Packaged as the skill jev-job-hunter.

Search & data

Job-post classifier

Classified work model, seniority, benefits, and location on 40,000 jobs for $4, then deleted the old regex classifier.

Creative & real-time

Kalshi BTC gate bot

Kalshi 15-minute BTC yes/no bot. Jev calls yes, no, or lean; the bot fires at most one order per window with stake locked at $2. Confidence gate is at least 0.55. The judge is paper; the trader uses live Kalshi keys, with a kill switch.
