About

What is Vellum?

Vellum is a personal AI assistant designed for macOS that adapts to your workflow, acting proactively and customizing to your preferences. It integrates with various tools to automate tasks such as managing emails, triaging GitHub issues, and updating project backlogs in Linear. The assistant learns from your interactions, improving its performance over time. Vellum prioritizes user trust and data privacy, storing credentials locally in macOS Keychain and processing data on your machine, with messages sent to cloud AI models for responses but never used for training. It offers over 60 built-in skills and the ability to create custom ones, with explicit user permission required for any computer interaction.

FAQs

What platforms does Vellum support?

Currently, Vellum is available for macOS, supporting both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. The development team has plans to extend support to Windows and Linux in the future, making it accessible to a wider range of users.

How does Vellum handle user data and privacy?

Vellum stores your workspace, memories, and credentials locally on your machine, ensuring they never leave your computer. While conversations are sent to cloud AI model providers for responses, Vellum explicitly states that nothing is stored on their servers and your data is not used for training.

Can Vellum control my computer?

Yes, with your explicit permission, Vellum can interact with your computer's UI elements and screen through macOS accessibility and screen recording permissions. These features are opt-in and require system-level approval before activation, giving you full control.

How is Vellum different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, which are conversational tools, Vellum runs locally on your machine, learns your preferences, and remembers information across sessions. It's a personal assistant that you mold and own, capable of taking real actions on your behalf, rather than just responding to prompts.
