Vellum AI

Vellum AI is a platform for building, configuring, and deploying AI assistants and LLM-powered workflows. It helps builders create assistant-style applications, connect model capabilities, manage processing resources, and ship AI experiences without building the entire runtime and deployment layer manually. The product is useful for founders and developers creating internal assistants, workflow copilots, AI-powered business tools, support workflows, and custom AI apps that need more structure than a basic chatbot. Vellum combines hosted assistant infrastructure with configurable compute, storage, and usage-based credits. Vellum also offers a self-hosting route for teams that want more control over their data, keys, and deployment environment. This makes it relevant for developers who want flexibility between managed cloud and private infrastructure. For FutureStack, Vellum fits in AI Agents because it supports real AI workflow and assistant creation. It is best for SaaS builders, technical founders, and developers who want to move from prompt experiments to deployed assistant products with pricing tied to compute and credits.
