· 2 sourcesVela, an AI scheduling platform backed by Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch, has launched to handle complex multi-party scheduling across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and phone. Hacker News reported that the founders treat scheduling as a constraint satisfaction problem, addressing challenges like unstructured natural language inputs and changing constraints. Product Hunt noted the system can negotiate meeting times, follow up with unresponsive contacts, and coordinate large-scale operations such as 1,000 interviews in a week through parallel processing.

Summary
Vela is an AI-powered scheduling platform that handles complex multi-party, multi-channel scheduling by treating scheduling as a constraint satisfaction problem. The founders (brothers Gobhanu and Saatvik) explain that while simple two-person scheduling is easy, real-world scheduling becomes complex with unstructured natural language inputs across multiple communication channels, changing constraints mid-process, and social considerations. Vela uses AI agents to automate this process, aiming to solve the pain points of coordinating schedules across different platforms and stakeholders.
