Roman drafts your outreach in your voice and sends it from your own inbox — once you approve.
For people who work for themselves
A team of AI specialists that learns your business, does the work in your own tools — and sends nothing without your approval.
They remember your customers, your patch and how you write — so nobody needs re-briefing on Monday. And a goal like “win six new customers this month” becomes a dated plan your team helps drive.
Not your CRM. Whatever you keep your customers in — an ATS, an agency CRM, a spreadsheet — stays where it is. Vela is the team, not the database.

That’s your desk, with a team behind it. That’s Vela.
Two desks have a version of Vela built for them, with a team and an onboarding shaped to how that desk runs. Everyone else gets the same team, pointed at whatever they do.
ChatGPT is one assistant you re-brief every time, that forgets your business the moment you close the tab and will happily make something up. Vela is a team that already knows your business, works inside your own tools, takes real action with your approval — and never fakes what it’s done.
Roman works the outreach and the chasing. Flux researches your market and brings back what moved, with sources. Felix keeps the numbers honest. Arden pulls it into one clear call each morning. They hand off to each other — then hand you the answer.
Ask what a competitor just did, or what a property sold for, and your team searches the live web and cites it — or tells you straight when it can’t verify something, instead of inventing an answer. When your reputation rides on being right, that’s the whole difference.
The email is drafted in your voice and sent from your own Gmail — once you tap approve. Your customers are read from HubSpot, so nobody needs the brief again. And a goal becomes a dated plan on your calendar that your team helps drive. Nothing leaves Vela without your say-so.
You don’t need another chatbot. You need a team that already knows your business.
Not a CRM and not an ATS. Whatever you keep your customers in stays your system of record — Vela sits alongside it.
Where somebody has measured it, the admin load is stark: recruiters spend 17.7 hours per vacancy on it — more than two working days per hire.* Whatever your version of that is, the aim is to give those days back.

No dashboards to manage. No prompts to write. A team that knows your business, does the work, and tells you what needs you.
Tell Vela what you do — the patch you cover, the customers you win, the work you chase — and connect Gmail and HubSpot if you use them. Your team reads it and introduces themselves. Five minutes, and nobody needs re-briefing again.
Roman drafts the outreach in your voice — a vendor follow-up, a client BD email, the applicant who went quiet. Flux researches your patch and cites it. Muse writes the listing or the spec. Felix keeps the numbers honest. Every email goes from your own Gmail — after you tap approve.
Arden's morning briefing: who to chase, what your team found overnight, what's due on your plan today. Decisions highlighted, drafts ready to approve. You act — you don't scroll.
Connect what you already work in. Your team reads what it should, sends only with your approval, and turns “win three clients” into a plan you can watch move.
Gmail, HubSpot and GitHub are live today — one tap each, revoke any time. The rest are on the way, and nothing is claimed until it works. Whatever holds your customers — an ATS, an agency CRM, a spreadsheet — stays your system of record; Vela sits alongside it, not connected.
Roman drafts your outreach in your voice and sends it from your own inbox — once you approve.
Roman reads your CRM — customers, contacts, deals — so nobody needs the brief again.
Colt reads your repos and CI to keep on top of your build.
One tap to connect, revoke any time from Connections.
Every agent carries what's connected in their context, and reads only what they should: Roman reads your customers and deals in HubSpot so the email lands with context, Colt watches your repo if you have one. Read-only where it should be — and when something isn't connected, they say so instead of guessing.
Roman drafts the email in your voice — the follow-up, the pitch, the nudge to whoever went quiet — and stages it. You read it, edit it, approve it — and it goes from your own Gmail. Nothing leaves Vela without your say-so.
“Win six new customers this month” becomes a concrete plan. Your team proposes it; you accept, edit or reject. It lands as a living journey in your Tasks with dated steps on your Calendar — and progress is real: a step is done only when the work is done. A plan is proposed, not promised.
Every action that leaves Vela is approval-gated. Agents read only what they should, track only real progress — and never make things up.

Most AI sounds certain even when it's guessing. Vela is built the other way.
Market maps and company research come back with citations and dates. When your team looked something up, you can see exactly where.
Ask who runs hiring at a company in your patch. When they can’t find it, they say so — instead of inventing a name that sounds right. No confident guessing.
“Staged — waiting for your approval” means exactly that. What they tell you they did is what actually happened, every time.
Straight with you
Today your team drafts the email, researches the market, writes the listing or the spec, produces the file — and nothing goes out without your approval tap. Gmail, HubSpot and GitHub are connected today. Whatever holds your customers — an ATS, an agency CRM, a property CRM — and LinkedIn and the property portals are not: Vela sits alongside them, it’s the team, not the database. We’d rather tell you that than pretend.
Eleven specialists, and you don't manage any of them. Roman, Flux, Felix and Arden lead; the rest run the work around them. Pick a desk — estate agency, recruitment — and the team focuses on the specialists that desk needs, with the others one tap away, memory intact.
Runs your outreach and your chasing. Drafts in your voice, sends from your Gmail once you approve, and reads your HubSpot so nothing needs re-briefing.
Researches your patch. What moved, who is hiring or selling, what a competitor just did — brought to you before you asked, with sources.
Keeps the numbers honest. What is actually coming in this month, and what is at risk of slipping.
Chairs the team. Your morning briefing: who to chase today, what the team found overnight, what is due on your plan.
The rest of the team
Your diary, your chasing, your reminders and follow-ups.
Writes and designs — listings, specs, ads, one-pagers, social.
Operations and the admin that bites: what’s due, what’s outstanding, what’s verified.
Your build — a site, a tool, a repo — planned, reviewed, watched.
The product or service itself: what to build, and for whom.
Reads the numbers and states them plainly, with the caveats.
Tell your team what you do and they focus. An estate agent or a recruiter gets the specialists that desk runs on, and the rest step back until they’re useful — one tap brings any of them in, memory intact. Echo audits the team behind the scenes; she isn’t someone you manage.
This is real. Pre-loaded boardroom, real responses, your conversation stays here. Three messages on the house.
Really fun and interesting watching the conversation.
Start where you are — the next stage is already built. Flat monthly. No per-message metering. No surprise bills.
The core team, to get moving. Your team advises, drafts and prepares — Roman drafts the email, you send it. Everything you need to get to something real.
