Vellum

Vellum is a personal AI assistant designed to adapt to individual user preferences and support ongoing productivity. The platform enables users to create an assistant quickly by adding their apps and sharing their goals, allowing the assistant to begin helping within minutes. Vellum operates continuously in the background, facilitating work progress even when the user is not actively engaged.

A distinguishing feature of Vellum is its memory system, which incorporates eight distinct types of memory to understand context, learn user preferences, and anticipate needs. These memory types include episodic, semantic, procedural, emotional, scheduled, behavioral, identity, and rule-based memories. This system allows the assistant to recall specific events, recognize patterns in user behavior, manage routines, and enforce personalized rules, such as muting notifications at certain times or remembering preferred tools and workflows.

Vellum offers both cloud and self-hosted deployment options, providing flexibility for different user requirements. It features managed OAuth connections for native integrations, and supports channels including iOS, macOS, web, voice, email, Telegram, Slack, and a command-line interface. Security is built in, and memory is managed by the platform, distinguishing it from solutions that require users to build their own memory stacks. Scheduling is handled through Cron and Heartbeat mechanisms.

Pricing for Vellum includes a free tier with API costs as well as paid plans. The tool is positioned as a personal intelligence product, emphasizing its ability to evolve with the user and maintain persistent, context-aware support.
