Using Jev for workbook analysis
A useful workbook question starts with a metric. Try “Show Operating Income across the available periods.”
· By BenchmarkWatcher
You do not need to know what Jev is before opening a workbook. It is the optional AI behind the TypeSafe / Jev provider choice in our chat. This guide explains the job it does, how to connect it, and which questions the current workbook integration can answer.
What is Jev, and why do we use it?
Jev is an AI model from TypeSafe. Its Choice interface selects from a supplied list of options. See TypeSafe’s documentation.
In BenchmarkWatcher, Jev turns your question into a choice of workbook metric, calculation and reporting periods. We use it so you can ask in everyday language while keeping the result tied to the workbook’s existing rows and columns. If the selection is unclear, the app asks you to be more specific.
Jev selects what to calculate. BenchmarkWatcher calculates from saved workbook cells. The saved analysis shows those cells so you can check the result. Jev does not write an earnings report or refresh company data in this integration.
Connect TypeSafe / Jev
- Sign into your BenchmarkWatcher account and open AI settings.
- Under TypeSafe / Jev, enter your API key from TypeSafe. Enter the key in the settings field; do not put it in a chat question.
- Read the sharing and storage checkbox, then choose Test and save key. The TypeSafe connection test makes a small billable AI request.
- Open a workbook and select TypeSafe / Jev · jev-latest under Use my provider in the AI chat.
Keys are saved encrypted to the BenchmarkWatcher account that connects them. Your TypeSafe account pays for provider usage; BenchmarkWatcher supplies no shared AI credits. If the provider is missing, check that you signed into the same account and saved a successful connection.
Try an Operating Income question
Open 000600 SK Hynix in the workbook library. It includes an Operating Income row. In the AI chat, click the example or type:
Show Operating Income across the available periods.
Confirm sharing your question and workbook labels with your selected provider, then choose Send and save. Clicking the example only fills the question; it does not contact a provider. A successful request opens a saved analysis with the period labels, values and source cells.
For another workbook, use a metric that appears in its Metric list. “Show Revenue across the available periods.” works as a question format when that workbook has a Revenue row.
Which questions work here?
- A series: “Show Operating Income across the available periods.”
- One period: “Show Operating Income for [period label].” Replace the bracketed text with an exact label from the workbook’s period controls.
- A comparison: “Compare Operating Income between [first period] and [second period].” Use two named quarters or two named annual periods.
Choose “Value in one period” or “Change between From and To” in the calculator to see the available period labels. Ask about one metric at a time.
“We good with earnings?” does not identify a metric or a calculation, and it asks for a broader assessment than this integration supports. An Operating Income series answers a narrower question; it is not a complete assessment of a company’s earnings. Multi-company research, general earnings assessments and open-ended reports are not supported by this workbook chat yet.
If a question fails, open Notifications for the reason and edit the retained question. Nothing retries automatically. Jev requests select data; for optional written commentary on a supported calculation, choose DeepSeek and check “Add a DeepSeek explanation.”
