Vela

AI scheduling that works the way a great EA does

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 5% of February 2026

What it does

Vela is an AI scheduling agent that works the way a great EA does - across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and phone, at any scale. Loop Vela into a conversation and it takes over. It negotiates times, follows up when people ghost, and books the meeting. It has taste: it prioritizes an investor over an internal sync, and understands "early next week" without rigid parameters. Need 1,000 interviews scheduled this week? Vela makes parallel calls and coordinates across every channel. Backed by YC W26!

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
