🤖 Does Jev's "zero hallucinations" mean the answer is right? Not quite.

TypeSafe's new Jev model skips free text and answers only the narrow questions you define, at roughly $0.042 per million input tokens and about 100 milliseconds per query. Its "can't hallucinate" claim only means Jev can't pick an answer outside the options you gave it, not that it's always right. So before a vendor's speed and price claims win you over, read Juan's breakdown of what Jev can actually do for you.

📊 68% of Americans who use AI every day are still worried about it

A new Gallup survey commissioned by Microsoft, covering about 1,000 people in each of 37 countries, found that even daily AI users in the U.S. stay uneasy about the technology, and that worry runs higher among people who use it less. Ram Iyer also flags the split between optimism and trust: only 45% of American daily users say they trust the results AI gives them. Read Gallup's findings on why heavier use hasn't won people over, a useful reminder that the way you introduce AI to your customers matters as much as the tool itself.

🛒 Can AI shopping tools find the products you sell? Run these five tests

An online store can carry the exact item a shopper describes and still get skipped if its product data doesn't answer the request. Armando Roggio from PracticalEcommerce lays out five tests that check whether an AI can identify your product, match every constraint in a prompt, confirm price and delivery line up across page and checkout, and find enough facts to explain the recommendation. Check out the tests and the customer-style prompt he uses to find the gaps.

🛠️ Pick an AI training path for each role in your business.

OpenAI expanded OpenAI Academy, its AI training program, into four role-based paths so you can give each part of your team the specific AI skills their job calls for. The courses run on real tasks rather than lectures, and passing each assessment earns a badge, so your staff builds shared habits for working with AI and has something to show for it. Browse the paths and pick the ones that fit your teams.

🔒 Does your cyber insurance cover AI use you don't know about?

Employee use of AI tools at work has roughly tripled in the past year to about 45%, two-thirds of it through personal accounts your company can't see, per Verizon's 2026 report cited in a new Cloud Security Alliance research note. Insurers appear to be moving toward writing AI exclusions into cyber policies rather than building clear coverage. See the questions to put to your carrier before you renew.
