For builders: add a decision model
Most steps in an automation are small decisions: which queue, is this spam, is the agent confident enough to act? Decision models like TypeSafe's Jev return a typed choice with a confidence score, so your code can act, escalate to a bigger model or hand off to a human. They complement the LLM rather than replace it. Read the Jev profile →
