It supports web, mobile, and desktop apps for Mac and Windows, offering a fast, keyboard-centric local experience that feels like an extension of your own thoughts. Vello combines models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Facebook, Cohere, plus its own in-house web and document models, enabling real-time research with source quotes and citations, seamless document drafting, editing, and code iteration.
Key features include multi-player AI chat for team collaboration, the ability to combine multiple AI models in one chat, customizable AI Personas that you can create, train, publish, and embed, team spaces for collaborative work in chat rooms and documents, and an in-house Web model that generates in-depth responses with original source quotes and citations.

Vello is designed for power users, especially those with a developer focus, as well as teams and individuals who need to work with AI daily. It's ideal for researchers who need accurate source citations, content creators building materials together with their team, developers iterating on code, and non-technical users who use generative AI everyday for work.
