Ctrl+F Finds Words. I Wanted It to Find Answers

Hunch is a browser extension for finding a relevant passage when you cannot remember its exact wording. It divides a page into paragraphs and asks Jev, a classification model from TypeSafe AI, whether each paragraph answers the search query. Jev does not generate text; it returns a yes or no with a confidence score, and Hunch highlights the highest-confidence paragraphs in the original page. The developer's explanation describes the process.

The distinction from a generated answer is useful when reading documentation: the result points you back to the text you need to inspect. Long pages are processed in chunks sized to fit the model's input limits, and stronger highlights indicate higher model confidence. That confidence controls presentation; the article offers one anecdotal example and does not establish a measured search-accuracy rate. Implementation details.
