Vellum: Your Personal Intelligence (original) (raw)
The AI layer for your life
Meet your Personal AI that knows your goals, preferences and works 24/7. It handles all the busywork so you do what matters.
< 30 second setup
Pick a name, connect accounts, share your goals & you're up and running.
Meets you where you are
Talk to your Personal AI from Mac, Web, iOS, Slack, Telegram, Phone, and more. Wherever you need it.
Persistent memory layer
Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, it remembers you and your preferences over time.
Gets better over time
Your Personal AI's skills improve based on your instructions until they're perfect.
On 24/7 by default
Easy hosting in the Vellum Platform for an always-on assistant. No need for VPS or Mac Mini.
Your assistant, your data
Your conversation data stays private to you. Credentials stored separate from AI.
A memory system built for Personal AI
Your assistant learns your preferences, improves its skills over time, and gradually takes over the work you shouldn’t be doing yourself.
