Vellum is a no-code platform for creating AI agents by writing task descriptions in plain English. Users can build agents to automate repetitive work, then execute them on a schedule, through an API, or via a user interface.

Build AI agents by describing your task in plain English. Vellum turns it into a working agent you can run on a schedule, trigger via API, or use through a UI. No code, no setup; just automation you understand and control.

An assistant that knows you deeply, evolves alongside you, and belongs to no one else. Powered by memory that remembers the way you do.

You shape every aspect of me, from the way I talk to the way I do work for you. I learn about you and your preferences to become truly yours over time. My memory is custom built to remember everything that matters to you. You, your life, people, preferences, and work are remembered across every conversation we have. I’m on 24/7 and can be reached on every device or browser you use. My same identity, memory, chats, and schedules are available anywhere you are. My memory and credentials vault live locally on your machine or in the cloud, with none of your data accessible by Vellum unless you've opted in.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
