Vela is an AI scheduling assistant that manages bookings and coordinates across clients, vendors, and internal teams. It handles the back-and-forth communication so professionals can focus on their most important work.
Vela is an AI scheduling assistant that automates meeting booking for professionals across various industries. As an AI-powered productivity tool, it handles the entire coordination process—from proposing times to sending reminders—eliminating the need for manual back-and-forth. The core value is saving time: Vela gives users back their most valuable resource by managing all scheduling logistics. Backed by Y Combinator, Pareto Holdings, and Z Fellows, Vela is trusted by teams at Netflix, LinkedIn, and Amazon to schedule thousands of meetings each week. Users can initiate bookings by CC’ing Vela on email or sending a message via SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, or phone, making it seamlessly integrate into existing workflows.
The core pain point Vela solves is the excessive time spent on meeting coordination. Back-and-forth emails asking 'does this time work?' consume hours each week, often requiring multiple rounds before a time is agreed. Timezone chaos forces mental math for every participant, especially when coordinating across international teams. Calendar conflicts lead to double bookings that require manual resolution, adding further delays. For a professional managing 15 meetings per week with 10 minutes of coordination per meeting, this amounts to over 12 hours saved per month—time that can be reallocated to high-priority tasks. This drain on productivity is especially acute for lawyers, business development managers, and partners who depend on efficient meeting logistics to advance deals and projects. Vela directly addresses these problems by automating the entire negotiation process.
The first major feature is Vela's ability to eliminate back-and-forth emails. When a user CCs Vela on an email thread, Vela reads the context, checks the user's calendar availability, and proactively proposes meeting times to all recipients. It automatically follows up if a participant does not respond, removing the need for manual reminders. Vela can suggest multiple time options, allowing participants to pick a slot without further negotiation. Once a time is agreed, Vela sends calendar invites and confirmations. This feature directly addresses the pain point of endless 'does this time work?' chains, saving hours of email management. Users can also set preferences for meeting duration and buffer times, enabling personalized scheduling.
The second major feature group addresses timezone chaos and calendar conflicts. Vela automatically coordinates across multiple timezones, displaying proposed times in each participant's local timezone so no mental math is required. It also monitors the user's calendar in real-time, preventing double bookings by detecting conflicts early. If a conflict occurs due to an existing meeting being rescheduled, Vela automatically adjusts the schedule, updates all calendar invites, and notifies everyone involved. This is particularly powerful for multi-attendee meetings: Vela can coordinate availability across dozens of participants, including external clients and vendors, ensuring a time that works for all. The result is a conflict-free calendar and seamless scheduling across international teams. Users no longer worry about timezone errors or overlapping appointments; Vela handles it all automatically.
