Vellum allows users to create AI agents simply by describing what they want the agent to do in plain English. The platform automatically builds working agents that can handle various operational tasks across different business functions.

Key features include the ability to create agents that pull data from various sources like Notion, Linear, PostHog, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Stripe, and HubSpot. Agents can analyze data, detect patterns, generate summaries, create content, and output results to platforms like Slack, Notion, Google Docs, and Gmail. The platform supports scheduling agents to run automatically at specific times and provides multiple interaction modes including UI, API calls, and automatic triggers.

The platform works by taking natural language descriptions and automatically building the necessary workflow components. Users can preview the full workflow before execution and inspect generated code for local use. The system shows detailed run information including timing and step-by-step execution.

Benefits include automating repetitive operational tasks across product management, sales, marketing, finance, customer support, and legal functions.
