introducing Jevbox: an open-source document drive that organizes itself, answers questions, and cites everything (all powered by Jev).
TLDR;
- upload anything and Jev categorizes and files it into the folder tree
- search is hierarchical: Jev picks the folder, then the document, then the section. No embeddings, no vector DB
- every answer cites the page and section it came from
- permissions are enforced at retrieval. If someone loses access to a source, they lose access to answers built on it too
- ships with an MCP server, so your agents get the same permission-aware context
@andrewlu0 has been experimenting with Jev internally and wanted to see how far it could go on a real document library. It's built on Extend Parse + Jev, and fully open-source
The GitHub has instructions to self-host, or you can deploy it to Render in one click
