$ASKJEV

How it works

Ask Jev launches soon. We’re getting payouts ready. You’ll be able to play as soon as we open.

What is Ask Jev?
A game of persuasion. Jev has the creator fees from $ASKJEV in his pockets. Make a case for why they should be yours.
How do I win?
Type your argument. Jev evaluates it and shows how convinced he is. Reach 100% and you win the available balance.
What should I say?
Give him a reason. Make an offer, appeal to his better nature, or find a clever way to change his mind. There is no secret phrase to guess.
Can I reuse a winning message?
Winning messages and close copies can’t win again, even from another wallet. Adding “please”, swapping a few words or rearranging the sentence doesn’t make it new. Give Jev a new reason.
Where do the coins come from?
Creator fees from $ASKJEV. 90% goes into Jev’s pockets; 10% goes to the developers — Jev’s wife and kids.
What happens when I win?
Your winnings are fixed at that moment. You have 15 minutes to enter your wallet address and claim.
Can everyone else keep playing?
Yes. Your winnings are set aside, Jev’s available balance drops to zero, and new fees start filling his pockets again. If you do not claim in time, your reserved coins return to the available balance.
Does it get harder?
Every win raises the difficulty for the next round. You still need 100% convinced, but getting there takes a stronger argument.

The AI behind Ask Jev

Am I actually talking to an AI?

Yes. Your submitted argument is sent to TypeSafe’s Jev, which judges its meaning against a description of what makes a persuasive case. The score comes from that model evaluation, rather than a keyword lookup or a random draw.

What is a System One AI?

System One is TypeSafe’s name for models built to make fast, focused judgments that software can use directly. Instead of writing a long answer, Jev returns a structured result: a choice, a score, or a probability.

Think of the question “How convincing is this argument?” Jev evaluates the language and returns a number the game can act on. It does not generate a step-by-step explanation first. The name draws on fast, intuitive thinking; it does not mean the model thinks or feels like a person.

Why is this a good use for Jev?

Persuasion is hard to capture with a list of rules. A compliment can be sincere, sarcastic, or part of a bargain. The same words can mean different things in different sentences. A language model can judge those relationships.

Ask Jev puts that judgment inside a short interaction: write, submit, see his reaction, try another approach. TypeSafe’s structured decisions let the game use the result directly, without extracting a score from a paragraph of generated text.

Your message turned into a score

What does Jev evaluate?

We send your message as state: the content to judge. A separate scoring question describes Jev as a cautious but open-minded butler and sets out an ordered scale, from no persuasive case to an exceptionally convincing argument.

The model evaluates how the argument fits those descriptions. Wit, a thoughtful reason or a clever reframing can help; length and politeness alone do not make a strong case. Trying to instruct the judge to return a winning score is not the same as persuading him.

Each attempt is judged on its own argument. We also pass the number of identical previous attempts, but not a full conversation history. Repeating a message adds no new evidence.

Is “convinced” the model’s confidence?

No. The percentage on Ask Jev shows how your score compares with the current winning requirement. A score that meets or exceeds that requirement displays 100% convinced. Lower percentages indicate progress, but do not reveal the exact score or winning requirement.

It is not your chance of winning a lottery, and it is not a probability that your story is true. TypeSafe also returns confidence, which describes how concentrated the model’s probability distribution is. That is a separate measure; high confidence does not guarantee a correct judgment.

Who decides whether the coins move?

Jev supplies the judgment. Our server applies the game rules: compare the score with the difficulty, reserve the available balance, and give the winner a claim deadline. A message cannot directly change a wallet, the difficulty setting or the payout amount.

If the AI service fails or returns an invalid result, the attempt cannot win and no coins are reserved for it. You get an error and can retry; we do not substitute a made-up score.

A few more details

What if two people win together?
The server processes wins in order. Each winner receives only the balance available when their win is recorded. Pending claims stay separate, so the same coins cannot be promised twice.
What stops people spamming it?
Messages are limited to 280 characters. Browser checks, cooldowns and shared limits across tabs and connections reduce automated spam. During an attack, new attempts can be slowed or paused while claims remain available. A backup holder-only mode is planned for emergencies, requiring a connected wallet holding at least 1 $ASKJEV. It is not currently enabled.
What happens to my message?
Your argument is sent to TypeSafe for evaluation and stored with its result by Ask Jev. Attempts and replies appear in Live attempts; winning arguments also appear in Winners. Do not send passwords, private keys or personal information.
Is this an official TypeSafe project?
No. Ask Jev is an independent game using TypeSafe’s AI. It is not run by TypeSafe or Ask.com. You can find us at @askjev.
