Vela

About

Vela is a Y Combinator-backed AI scheduling agent that handles the entire back-and-forth of booking meetings across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and phone. Instead of sharing rigid booking links, you CC Vela into a conversation and it takes over — negotiating times, following up when people ghost, and booking the meeting. Vela understands context and nuance: it knows to prioritize an investor meeting over an internal sync, interprets phrases like 'early next week' naturally, and writes with taste rather than sounding robotic. Built for professional services firms, recruiters, and busy executives, Vela replaces the need for a $100K+ scheduling coordinator by handling multi-stakeholder, cross-timezone scheduling at scale.
