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!
Hey PH! Gobhanu here, co-founder of Vela (YC W26).
We built Vela because scheduling is secretly one of the hardest coordination problems in business - and nobody's solved it end to end.
For a founder, it looks like drowning in email threads trying to lock down 20 demo meetings a week. For a recruiting firm, it looks like needing to schedule 1,000 driver interviews by Friday across phone, SMS, and email - simultaneously. Both problems require the same thing: an agent with real judgment that can operate across every channel at any scale.
Here's what makes Vela different: It works everywhere. Email, SMS, WhatsApp, phone calls. CC it in an email or let it make 1,000 parallel calls - same agent. It has taste and TRULY learns. Vela knows a board member outranks a coffee chat without you writing rules. It understands "early next week" without rigid parameters. It handles the mess. Ghosted? Vela follows up. Conflicting time zones? Handled. Multi-party interviews with 5 calendars? Done.
We're already used by enterprise recruiters scheduling thousands of interviews a week and by founders who need white-glove coordination for their highest-stakes meetings. We're currently running paid pilots and yearly contracts with individuals and businesses. If scheduling is a pain point for you, feel free to book a demo - we'd love to show you what Vela can do.
We'd love your feedback - especially if you have scheduling workflows that feel impossible to automate. Book a Demo and we can get you your own scheduling assistant in under 15 minutes.
Congrats on the launch! Handling multi-channel scheduling with real judgment is a big ambition.
How does Vela decide priorities in edge cases, for example when two high-priority stakeholders conflict or when someone keeps rescheduling last minute?
Genuinely hate checking my calendar, Vela has taken that obligation out of my day to day
Man, I get the scheduling chaos. We used to juggle three different tools just to keep things semi-organized. Vela sounds like a godsend for cutting that out.
We are not going to rest until 'let me check my calendar' is a phrase nobody ever has to say again
