How many parallel projects is too many parallel projects

I'll be doing a bigger writeup of how I've implemented this, don't worry! But a super short version is the system judges after each word, and Jev has to approve twice in a row because of this case: "Turn on my dresser lamp..." Jev gets ready "Turn on my dresser lamp to..." Jev says wait hold up "Turn on my dresser lamp to 50%..." Jev gets ready "Turn on my dresser lamp to 50% and..." Jev says EXECUTE and then the dresser lamp changes while I am finishing saying the other things I want to happen. It's particularly magical to have devices change state one by one as I name them. As someone who built her first voice-to-control-lights system TWENTY THREE YEARS AGO with a duct-taped microphone on the ceiling that communicated to X-10 lightswitches, Jev allowing me to do something I've never seen before in voice interfaces is such a dream moment.

And on the topic of custom agent harnesses, this writeup of how @sanity_io are using Jev to route to purpose-specific, narrowly-scoped agents is excellent! Give it a read!

My favorite Jev use in this system is a "precog engine", where Jev judges the STT as it streams in word by word, warms up intent paths that are determined to be likely, and sometimes fully taking action before I've even finished speaking (depending on risk, reversibility, etc)

I’m on the custom personal agent train for sure, but my particular obsession is extremely responsive and expressive voice interactions. Fully custom STT and TTS pipeline Jev is enabling so much of it, routing intents to super narrow handler paths that respond lightning fast

Have you ever read a skill with your own eyes that you installed from a vendor? Not like, when you want to pick it apart and make your own, but just using an official skill like Cloudflare's or something

Last week it was "set minimum package age to 7 days for everything because the supply-chain apocalypse is here" This week it's "update all your shit to what was released 5 minutes ago because the 0-day apocalypse is here" I wonder what next week will be

T-minus some number of hours before I fork it to start adding Jev powered features I reallllly don’t want to deal with keeping it in sync with upstream tho

I am a T3 Code enjoyer

The most important thing to do when building with Jev is to keep building with Jev. The more you rewire your brain to think about software in terms of intelligent primitives, the more you find and revisit ideas you never thought was possible before.

One of my favorite little Jev uses is having it intelligently choose substrings. In my Agent Tower project, the thread titles are often too long to fit and were truncated. But now Jev picks the best part the string to convey the meaning. Works suuuuuper well

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY OMG

Nathan has been putting out a whole bunch of little explainers and idea-seeds for using Jev - if you're not following him, fix that right meow
