vellum GitHub

Simple model

Box → fleet → your business

Three moves. You do not need to know developer slang to follow them. Deeper terms appear only after the plain explanation.

  1. Take the box

    vellum is software you run on your computer — a packaged command deck, not a website that rents you agents by the hour. Install it (when builds are ready), point it at your work, keep going.

  2. Stand up a fleet

    AI agents are workers you can see. Some you start yourself; some helpers appear as work unfolds; one coordinator can stay always on. You watch the roster the way a shop owner watches the bay — not buried in a chat bubble. (Agent sessions, adopted crew, pinned resident.)

  3. Aim them at your business

    Auto shop, online store, clinic, agency, software team — the deck is the same. The work changes; the idea does not: many agents, one captain, your judgment on the hard calls.

  4. Keep your knowledge on your disk

    Notes, rules, and project context live as ordinary files you own. Uninstall the app and the files remain. Nothing important is locked in a vendor database. (The vault — your folder.)

  5. Stay in the loop

    When an agent needs permission or a decision, it surfaces. You are not signing up for silent autopilot. That is a product rule, not a slogan. (Human-in-the-loop / Inbox.)

What this is not

  • Not “chat with a bot” as the whole product
  • Not a hosted multi-tenant agent cloud
  • Not a claim that every industry template ships today
  • Not a replacement for the specialist tools agents already use

Truth about today

  • Vision: universal fleet command for any domain
  • Current dogfood: strongest on software-agent crews
  • Status: pre-alpha — follow the repo, do not expect a storefront yet
