Avec
Email client that live-prioritizes inbox threads by importance with Jev instead of reverse chronological order.
by @jnnnthnn
Overview
Avec (avec.ai) is an email product teased by Jonathan Unikowski with live inbox prioritization powered by Jev instead of static chronological sorting.
Problem: Email clients default to reverse chronological inboxes, burying urgent threads under newsletter noise.
Built for: Knowledge workers who want incoming mail re-ranked by importance in real time.

“What if your inbox was live prioritized by importance instead of reverse chronological order? Built with Jev.”
How Jev is used
- Role in the product flow
- Live importance ranking as messages arrive
- Primitives
- ScoreChoice
- State in
- Incoming message metadata and body snippets plus current inbox context (inferred from showcase; no public schema beyond the clip).
- Decision out
- Dynamic ordering or priority labels so important threads surface immediately.
- Ingest new mail events
- Jev scores importance relative to user context
- Reorder or highlight inbox UI live
The showcase positions Jev as the fast structured ranker that can run continuously on mail streams without rewriting the whole message in an LLM on every ping. Avec is marked coming soon in the source post; treat feature availability on avec.ai as the source of truth.

Live inbox by importance
Reverse chronological is for archaeologists. Jev re-sorts your inbox while new mail lands so the boss thread floats up without you refreshing like it is 2009.
