Jevves cannot write. He can only choose. Ask anything; he will select the correct answer from those written in 1999.

New! Jevves is now powered by a frontier decision model. It reads your question, sorts it into one of fourteen kinds, and then picks, with a calibrated probability, the single most fitting line from the ones we wrote for him. He has never written a word himself and he is not about to start.

What Jevves will do for you:

  • Decide whether you should (or should not) do the thing.
  • Foretell the future, to within a probability.
  • Rate your question out of five stars, unprompted.
  • Decline to answer questions of fact with great dignity.

What Jevves will not do: write, count, search, remember, or apologise.
