Use politeness-level in TypeScript

Install with npm install jev-recipes. Requires Node.js 22.9 or newer and ES modules. Set TYPESAFE_API_KEY in your server environment for live calls, which send input to TypeSafe and use API quota. See the installation guide.

import { politenessLevel } from 'jev-recipes/politeness-level';

const result = await politenessLevel({
  "message": "Hi Priya, thanks for turning this around so quickly. When you have a moment, could you also attach the updated invoice? No rush at all.",
  "minConfidence": 0.8
});
console.log(result);
