Vellum is built for a wide range of stakeholders, from AI engineers and product managers to legal experts and executives, enabling seamless collaboration and accelerated development.

Key Features

• ✨ AI Workflow Orchestration: Define and iterate on complex AI systems, from simple prompt pipelines to advanced agentic workflows, using Vellum's intuitive visual builder and powerful SDK. This two-way synchronization allows engineers and non-engineers to collaborate efficiently, speeding up development.

• 📊 Robust Evaluation Frameworks: Quantitatively measure the quality, cost, latency, and reliability of your AI systems. Vellum provides ready-to-use metrics for prompts, RAG, and end-to-end systems, enabling test-driven development to ensure your AI meets agreed-upon performance thresholds.

• 🚀 Streamlined Deployment & Release Management: Decouple your AI updates from application releases with native version control and environments. Deploy new AI features with one click and make micro-adjustments in production without redeploying your entire application, ensuring agility and stability.

• 👁️ Comprehensive AI Observability: Gain full visibility into your AI's behavior in production with detailed trace and graph views. Vellum automatically captures inputs, outputs, costs, and latency, allowing you to quickly identify edge cases, debug problematic requests, and reduce hallucinations.

• 🧠 Advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Transform unstructured data into intelligent, context-aware solutions optimized for your AI systems. Vellum simplifies RAG implementation, handling document ingestion, chunking, and embedding model integrations, while offering advanced tools to optimize retrieval strategies.

Use Cases

• Accelerate Virtual Assistant Deployment: Rapidly design, evaluate, and launch sophisticated virtual assistants across multiple markets. Vellum helps you confidently iterate on prompt designs and workflows, significantly reducing development hours and ensuring reliable performance in production.

• Automate Business Processes with AI: Build context-aware AI pipelines that automate routine tasks, from data extraction to complex decision-making. Vellum's tools ensure these automations are robust, debuggable, and continuously monitored for optimal efficiency and accuracy.

• Develop & Optimize User-Facing AI Features: Quickly build and iterate on AI-powered features for your products, such as intelligent search or personalized recommendations. Vellum allows you to deploy updates frequently and independently of your application's release cycle, ensuring you can respond to user feedback and performance changes instantly.

Why Choose Vellum?

Vellum stands out by offering a comprehensive, enterprise-grade platform designed for the unique challenges of developing and managing AI at scale:
