By

Lacks bite. And filling. And a copy-editor at the bakery.
Summary
Vela is an AI scheduling agent that functions like an executive assistant, capable of handling scheduling across multiple communication channels including email, SMS, WhatsApp, and phone. It can negotiate meeting times, follow up with unresponsive contacts, and intelligently prioritize meetings based on importance. The system understands natural language scheduling requests and can handle large-scale scheduling operations, such as coordinating 1,000 interviews in a week through parallel processing across all channels. The product is backed by Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledVela is an AI scheduling agent that works the way a great EA does - across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and phone, at any scale.
It negotiates times, follows up when people ghost, and books the meeting.
It has taste: it prioritizes an investor over an internal sync, and understands 'early next week' without rigid parameters.
Need 1,000 interviews scheduled this week? Vela makes parallel calls and coordinates across every channel.
