How Jev Turns AI Into Software That Gets Things Done

Diogo Almeida, founder of TypeSafe AI, joins a16z's Ben Horowitz and Martin Casado to explore why AI is so capable yet so underused for automation. He argues that coding agents make developers faster without making software better, and introduces Jev, a primitive that embeds probabilistic, intent-aware intelligence inside programs. The conversation covers reliability as the key to programmable AI, the revival of probabilistic software, why SaaS companies are well positioned to benefit, and the long-term goal of technology that can reliably "do what I mean."
