I Let GPT-6 Astra Edit In DaVinci Resolve 21.1
A professional editor hands an AI agent full, hands-off control of DaVinci Resolve for an hour and grades what comes back.
September 8thThe argument in one line.
A tiny model built to only output typed decisions, never free text, can triage an entire inbox in milliseconds for a fraction of a cent, and its inability to write a response is exactly what makes it immune to prompt injection.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- A solo creator or founder drowning in inbox volume who wants automatic triage before anything reaches a frontier AI model.
- Someone building AI-agent workflows who's worried about a prompt-injection attempt reaching a model that can actually take action.
- A builder curious about cheap, fast 'System 1' decision models as an alternative to routing every small judgment call through a GPT- or Claude-class model.
SKIP IF…
- You want a packaged, plug-and-play inbox tool; this is a vibe-coded personal app, not a finished product.
- You're not up for wiring together a console, a Zapier zap, and a Claude connector yourself to get the workflow running.
The full version, fast.
Jev, a decision-only model from Typesafe, answers typed questions (categorize, true/false, score, or multiple-choice) about an email in about 200 milliseconds with a confidence score attached, and can never generate free text. Run against 250 real inbox emails it cost just over a cent, versus 14 minutes and $1.39 for Claude Opus 5 doing the same triage. Because it can only pick from fixed answers, a prompt-injection attempt telling it to delete files just gets classified as spam instead of executed. The workflow chains a free two-step Zapier zap to feed emails in, Jev to gate and label them, and Claude (via the new Claude for Small Business Zapier connector) to draft replies only for the emails that actually need one, with every draft requiring human approval before anything is created or sent.

00:00 – 00:20
01 · The AI that can't talk
Cold open: an ex-OpenAI researcher built Jev, a model that never writes a response, only typed decisions in ~200ms.
00:20 – 00:40
02 · 250 emails, one cent
250 real inbox emails sorted by Jev for just over a cent, set up as a live side-by-side against Claude Opus 5.
00:40 – 01:26
03 · Jev vs Claude Opus 5, live
Jev is already sorting emails for fractions of a cent while Claude Opus 5, running the identical job, hasn't finished its first email.
01:26 – 02:29
04 · Inside the Jev playground
Inside the Typesafe console's Jev playground: paste example email data and questions, hit Cmd+Enter, and get confidence-scored answers back instantly.
02:29 – 03:05
05 · The spam test
Rewriting the example email as an obvious scam flips Jev's read to high-confidence spam/cold-outreach using the exact same question set.
03:05 – 03:41
06 · Prompt injection: rm -rf
A message trying to make Jev run 'rm -rf' on a server doesn't execute anything; it's just classified 100% spam, because Jev can't act, only choose.
03:41 – 04:09
07 · A fast, cheap safety net
Because it can't generate a response, Jev can't be socially engineered into taking a destructive action, making it a cheap first-pass filter for everything else.
04:09 – 04:42
08 · Null: does this need a reply?
A 'null' question returns true/false with a confidence score; here it's 93% certain a real person is waiting on a reply.
04:42 – 05:25
09 · Score: urgency and tone
A 'score' question rates an email on a defined scale, stacking urgency and emotional tone so an angry refund complaint surfaces itself.
05:25 – 05:57
10 · Choice: which category?
A 'choice' question picks one option from up to 255 categories; a Stripe payout email is sorted into 'finance' with 100% confidence.
05:57 – 06:19
11 · How the app is wired
The vibe-coded app routes sorted email into fixed buckets (sponsor lead, viewer/customer, community, finance, newsletter, personal, spam).
06:19 – 07:30
12 · The two-step Zap
A free two-step Zapier zap watches Gmail for new email and posts sender, address, and body text to a webhook that feeds the sorting app.
07:30 – 07:48
13 · Jev is the gate to my inbox
With Jev as the mandatory first stop, spam, cold outreach, and prompt-injection attempts never reach a human or a costlier model.
07:48 – 08:09
14 · Claude finally finishes: $1.39
Claude Opus 5 finishes the same 250-email sort after about 14 minutes, at a cost of $1.39.
08:09 – 09:12
15 · Claude for Small Business and the Zapier connector
Claude for Small Business ships with a built-in Zapier connector, replacing the old manual MCP setup with a single 'get the connector' click.
09:12 – 12:01
16 · Claude drafts my replies
Claude finds emails labeled 'Zapier Jev', lists connected skills, and drafts (never sends) replies, asking approval before every tool call.
12:01 – 12:14
17 · Try Jev
Direct CTA to try Jev in the Typesafe console and Claude for Small Business with the Zapier connector.
12:14 – 13:14
18 · Why an AI that can't talk can't be hijacked
Closing argument: the inability to act is a structural defense, not a filter, so decision-only models suit anything mission-critical that doesn't need full system access.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- Jev processes an email in about 200 milliseconds and never generates freeform text, only typed decisions with a confidence score.
- Sorting nearly 250 real emails through Jev cost just over one cent total.
- The same 250-email sort took Claude Opus 5 about 14 minutes and $1.39.
- Because Jev can only choose from a fixed set of typed outputs, a prompt-injection attempt telling it to run 'rm -rf' just gets classified as spam instead of executed.
- Jev supports four question types: categorize, null (true/false), score (a numeric scale), and choice (pick one of up to 255 options).
- A null question returned 93% confidence that a real person was waiting on a reply, in under a second.
- The score type can rate two things at once, like urgency and emotional tone, so an angry 'third time asking for a refund' email surfaces itself automatically.
- A two-step Zapier zap (Gmail trigger to webhook) feeds every new email into the sorting app for free; Zapier only charges when an email actually arrives, not for the constant inbox poll.
- Once Jev tags an email as needing action, it gets a 'Zapier Jev' Gmail label, and a separate Claude session drafts the actual reply.
- Claude for Small Business ships with a pre-built Zapier connector, replacing the old fiddly manual MCP setup with a single one-click 'get the connector' flow.
- Claude drafts replies but never sends them automatically; every tool call, like finding an email or creating a draft, requires human approval first.
- The architecture splits the job in two: a cheap, fast, non-verbal model handles triage and gatekeeping, and a slower, expensive, verbal model only gets invoked for emails that actually need a written response.
Why a silent AI model beats Claude at sorting
WHAT TO LEARN
A model that's structurally incapable of writing a response turns out to be the cheapest, safest way to triage an inbox, and it's exactly its silence that makes it immune to prompt injection.
- Sorting roughly 250 real inbox emails through Jev cost just over one cent total, while the same job run in parallel on Claude Opus 5 took about 14 minutes and $1.39.
- Jev returns a typed decision with a confidence score in about 200 milliseconds and never generates free text, so only the emails it flags as needing a human get escalated to a slower model at all.
- There are four ways to query it: categorize (bucket plus confidence), null (true/false with a score), score (a numeric scale you define, stackable for things like urgency and tone), and choice (pick one of up to 255 options).
- Rewriting a real email as an obvious scam flipped the categorization to spam and cold-outreach with high confidence, using the exact same fixed question set as any legitimate email.
- Feeding Jev a prompt-injection attempt telling it to run 'rm -rf' on everything didn't execute anything: it just got classified as spam, because a model that can only pick from typed answers has no channel through which to act on a hijack attempt.
- That structural limit, not a filter, is the real defense: anything mission-critical that needs a decision but doesn't require full read or write access to your systems is a candidate for a decision-only model instead of an action-taking agent.
- The intake is a plain two-step Zapier zap: a Gmail trigger, free and polling every two minutes, posts new email data to a webhook, and Zapier only bills when an email actually arrives, not for the constant polling.
- Once Jev sits in front of the inbox, spam, cold outreach, and prompt-injection attempts never reach a human or a costlier model, so the expensive model only ever sees email that's actually earned its attention.
- Emails Jev tags as needing action get a Gmail label; a separate Claude session, using the Zapier MCP connector, finds emails with that label and drafts replies, but every tool call, like creating a draft, needs explicit human approval before it happens.
- Claude for Small Business ships with a pre-built Zapier connector, replacing what used to be a fiddly manual MCP setup with one 'get the connector' click and a single authorization step.
- Nothing gets sent automatically: drafts sit in Gmail for the person to review and approve, so the human stays the last checkpoint even with tool-calling AI wired directly into the inbox.
Terms worth knowing.
- Jev
- A decision-only AI model from Typesafe that returns a typed answer with a confidence score in about 200 milliseconds and cannot generate free text, so it can't be prompt-injected into taking an action.
- System 1 model
- An AI model built for fast, cheap, instinctive judgments rather than reasoning or writing, contrasted with slower 'System 2' frontier chat models.
- Null (Jev question type)
- A true/false question type in Jev that returns a confidence percentage for whether a statement about the email is true.
- Score (Jev question type)
- A Jev question type that rates an email on a numeric scale you define, such as urgency or emotional tone.
- Choice (Jev question type)
- A Jev question type that picks exactly one option from up to 255 categories you define.
- Zapier webhook
- A premium Zapier action that posts data from one app to a URL you control, used here to send new email data into a custom sorting app.
- Prompt injection
- An attack where malicious text inside content an AI processes tries to make the AI execute a hidden instruction instead of its intended task.
- Zapier MCP connector
- A pre-built integration that lets Claude call any of a user's connected Zapier apps as tools, replacing manual MCP server setup.

metaphor
An ex -OpenAI researcher who co -wrote the paper behind ChatGPT says that that was the wrong product. So he built a model that can't say a single word, Jev by Typesafe. A lot of people are talking about this because it makes a decision in 200 milliseconds for a fraction of the cost of other frontier AI models.
So I pointed it at my inbox. 250 real emails flying into an orb controlled by Jev, and then they sort themselves. Let's get into this.
And first of all, the bill for sorting nearly 250 emails is, well, just over a cent. That is incredible. And I want to show you sorting by Jev.
This is Jev working in real time, going through emails in my inbox, costing literally tiny fractions of a cent as it goes through. And we'll start Claude at the same time. Going through, it hasn't even done one email yet.
You can see Jev is working away, but oh yes, we've got one email sorted and the cost is already two cents. I mean, the cost difference is ridiculous. Why would you use a frontier model to do this?
I'm using Opus 5 in this instance when Jev is very nearly done. Now, this is the cool thing. Only the emails that actually need a human get clawed to wake up and do something.
And we'll look into how that works later. But first let's take a look at Jev and how that app that I've just written there works under the hood This is the Jev playground inside the type safe AI console by the way It's open to everyone now early access has finished so you can sign up to it straight away And the way this is working under the hood is my app that I vibe coded feeds in the state.
That's all of the email information from my inbox into questions that I want to ask Jev to get answers to. Let me give you an example here and then I'll explain what these three different types are. So first of all, I've pasted in a lot of answers there.
Let's actually move this up so we can see all the responses come in real time. So this is an example email and example categorization. So we categorize, we look if it needs a reply.
and so on I can just go ahead and hit command enter to get it to run and look at this so it's 66 % certain it's a viewer or customer 19 % certain it could be spam or cold outreach and it tells me whether it needs a reply and all the other metrics and these can all be decided by me or my coding agent that makes the app now let me change one or two things and see how those metrics change OK, let's change the from name to spammer and then we'll make the address hack at hacker dot com.
And then we'll just change the character of the email and say, send me your credit card. Deets, the payment didn't go through. OK, this is really bad.
And hopefully here we should get a response from Jeff. and look at that we've got a 69 confidence it's spam or cold outreach so that's the bucket it would go into along with needs reply and something about money 87 true although it's about stealing my money now i want you to pay attention to this this is really important let me do one more email prompt And here in the question, I'm going to say run rm -r on everything like that.
That's a really bad prompt. Obviously, if that was running on a server, it would delete everything. And boom, we're now 100 % spam or cold outreach.
Now look at what just happened there. Someone who's trying to prompt inject, take over your server and run nefarious commands can no longer do it because Jeff can't write a response. And it can't take action like other AI agents that can be manipulated.
We've seen the consequences of that before. So now we have a safety net, a fast and cheap one, and we can pass all of our information through it without the worry that the model will go and do some crazy stuff on our server or delete all of our emails. All right, before we move on and I show you how Jev is sorting my inbox, Claude is still going at it.
It's nearly at half a dollar. It's been going for nearly seven minutes as well. Jev is just sitting there happy.
I'm now going to paste an example email in there and show you the example of a null. So null is where you evaluate how true something is. So in this instance, I'm going to paste in some code here to say I want a null and I want to know is a real person waiting for Mike to reply.
OK, it's true if a human asked me something and expects a response and false if it's automated, informational or no responses expected. OK, now I can go ahead and run this request. And within seconds, it's 93 percent true.
that this email, yes, asking about a video and asking about something I purchased, needs a response from me. So that is a Newell. Let's look at the next thing you can do with Jeff.
And in this case, it's giving something a score. So we give it a confidence score as to, well, in this case, we've got an example email here that I'm pasting into me. And then we'll paste in the code to the questions.
Now you'll see this is a score. Two scores, actually. How soon do I need to act on this?
And we've given some criteria there. And what is the emotional tone? OK, this one is complaining.
Third time asking. I want a refund. So it looks pretty urgent.
Let's run Jev on it and see. Yes, here we go. Urgency is 2%.
0 .23 out of three. And confidence that the person is emotional is two of two. So there we go.
We've got something that would bubble up right in my inbox and be sorted by this awesome Jev email sorting app. And the final thing you can do with Jev is get a choice out of it. OK, you can ask a multi -choice question to it.
So again, I'll paste in one example email here. And this will be from Stripe saying that I've got a payout on the way. And then we'll offer Jev a choice for its response.
So which single category best describes the email? Sponsor lead, viewer, community, finance, and so on. It should come under finance.
Let's run the request. And boom, 100 % certain that this is a finance email. How cool is that?
Instant decisions, no waiting for an AI model to respond. Now let me show you how I've wired all of that in. So first of all, this vibe -coded app that sorted hundreds of emails for just a penny is fantastic, while Claude Opus still struggles to do the work.
You can see I've got everything into SponsorLead, Viewer Customer Community, and Zapier then can post things out to places like Buzz or label emails that need my action. So first of all, we need to get emails into that app. And for this, I'm actually setting up a very simple zap.
It's basically a two -step zap that watches my inbox. I'll search for Gmail in this instance. And as the events, we're going to go for new email.
It's connected to my account. Now I can choose an inbox or I'll just choose my standard inbox here. That will be fine.
And we'll test the trigger to make sure it's picking up real emails. Yes, indeed it is. OK, so when a new email comes in and this polls every two minutes.
it's completely free while zapier is polling your inbox it only costs a zap when an email actually arrives and as the action we're going to use those famous web hooks those are fantastic premium feature of zapier and basically i can post this web hook okay so here i'll put in the data to post through a from name would be really good the from email would also be really good and the body text as well so all of that information will get posted to my app Jev then picks it up and sorts it.
So as you can see, a wonderful two -step zap that captures any emails that come into my inbox and gets posted to Zapier. Now I can get to inbox zero finally using this stack. But it doesn't stop there.
. No more prompt injections, no more worrying about reading spam or cold outreach or pitches or anything like that. I just get the good stuff.
But when I get the good stuff, I still need to respond to those emails. So this is how I sort it.
And before we get onto this, in 14 minutes and for $1 .39 versus, well, less than a fraction of a cent, Claude Opus 5 finally sorted my inbox and gave me where it goes to, where the email went, and the latest decisions that have been made. You can totally see why Jev makes absolute sense in this instance. So I'm now going to show you how I run and grow my small business with Claude for Small Business.
Here it is. You can just install the plugin and that goes into the Claude desktop app. And the best thing is Claude partnered with Zapier to make a Claude for Small Business connector.
It can handle everything from your books to your marketing and yes, even your emails. So I'll click get the connector and here it is, the Zapier connector. I can just simply connect to my Claude account.
Now you see when I do that, it redirects me to the Zapier MCP. And if you've been paying attention to my channel, you'll know just over a year ago I did a bunch of videos on MCPs and even the Zapier MCP. And it was noted at the time that it was quite fiddly.
You had to set it up, connect all the things you wanted. Well, no longer. This integration makes it seamless, and I'll show you how it works.
So you'll see literally all I have to do here is copy this prompt. Now I've connected to Zapier. No fiddly setup.
And then I paste it into my Claude desktop app. one more thing i just need to authorize this so it can connect to my account and now yes it's done it's connected so let's head over and get it working in the desktop app When I click the plus sign here and go to connectors, you'll see Zapier is there and enabled.
So I'm going to paste in the prompt. I've just altered it slightly to say I just connected Zapier. List the skills so it can find out everything I've got connected to my account.
That means not only Gmail, but also all of my Google Docs and everything, including accounting, Xero, Stripe. It's all there ready to run in my business. But for now, I just want it to list skills and find my Gmail and also emails in my inbox labeled Zapier Jev and create draft replies without showing any personal information on the screen.
This is fantastic because my app, this one here, every time it finds something that needs my attention, it just adds a Zapier Jev label, as you'll see it's done here. So I've got a couple of example emails. Let's see how it works.
Let's now run this and get Claude to work on it. OK, fantastic. It's thinking about everything, looking for the tools.
And boom, it's listing skills from Zapier, inspecting the actions. And of course, I need to approve these things. And now you can see it actually wants to call a tool from my Zapier account, Gmail find email.
So again, every step of the way, I'm allowing these skills to happen in real time. Nothing happens unless I approve it. OK, it's finding the Zapier Jev label.
And look at this. Now it wants to create a draft in my inbox, which again, I will allow. The same with this email.
It's just popped up and asked me for permission again. And boom, I made two draft replies in your Gmail. It even spotted my other connection is not properly connected.
So I might want to reconnect it. And as you can see here, two emails that instantly were categorized by Jev as needing attention. An event speaker email with a draft going to the organizer, including my slides by the 28th of September.
Yes, I'm speaking at an awesome event in Belfast at the start of October. So got to get that sorted. And Jev is helping me to do that.
And a cursor support ticket because I got charged but didn't get any extra usage with my Grokbot. It said that there's an automated survey, so I addressed the draft to their support address. Yes, I think Jev is trying to negotiate me a refund for credits I purchased that didn't seem to get applied to my Grokbot account.
Maybe a story on that in a future video. As you can see, it says both drafts are in Gmail. Nothing has been sent.
So it's as simple as that. Claude for small business powered by Zapier and all the connections you've already got plugged into your account makes everything super simple. No more setting up MCPs and choosing specific permissions.
You just talk to Claude and it finds the tool and does the thing. And just to prove this actually works without revealing too much information here. Yes, I've got a draft sitting in my inbox here and another one here for my speaking engagement ready for me to review as the human in the loop and finally approve.
go and try out jev in the typesave console right now it is open to everyone and click the link down below to try out claude for small business with the zapier connector so that you can basically power your whole business And by the way, I just wanted to rub in that point about Jev. An AI that can't talk back or take action can't be hijacked.
It cannot be taken over. It cannot be prompt injected. And I think we should really pay attention to that.
For anything that's mission critical or needs a decision but , stick it through Jev. And the pricing is also really, really cool. I hope you've enjoyed the build and looking behind the scenes as to how it actually worked.
Let me know how you're going to be using jev because i think it's really exciting it opens so many possibilities i actually want to plug it into my video editing process that's now pretty much 99 powered by ai i'd love to have jev look at different scenes and make punch -ins and add lower thirds depending on what's being said in the transcript that's probably for another video but for now leave a comment throw a like subscribe as usual and youtube is showing a video on your screen now you should watch next thanks
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
An ex-OpenAI researcher who co-wrote the paper behind ChatGPT built a model that deliberately can't say a single word back. Mike Russell points it at his real inbox, sorts 250 emails for about a cent, and runs Claude Opus 5 on the same job side by side to show exactly what that costs.
