New tool Jev rethinks agentic tool use, cutting redundant model calls for next-step decisions

Having just gotten off the waitlist for Jev, the author observes that tokens and model calls around tool use — the coveted constructs of agentic systems — are being rethought. Jev's potential to cut repeated model calls that exist only to decide the next step suggests the promised shift in chat UX may happen beneath the UI, in a more deterministic way. It also reframes the workflow-vs-agents debate: Jev lands in the middle ground where the value lies.
