Company Description

Vela is the AI Scheduling Assistant built to handle the ambiguity that breaks scheduling. It has taste: it knows to prioritize a client over an internal catch-up, and it understands "Let's do early next week" without setting specific parameters. You just add Vela to the conversation, and it handles the white-glove negotiation as a member of your team, even at scale. Today, Vela is already used by professionals with the most complicated scheduling workflows. Enterprise recruiters are using Vela to schedule thousands of multi-party interviews and large sales teams rely on Vela to coordinate cross-functional calls.
