Velaaa - The idea engine that learns how you think

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Velaaa because I kept running into the same set of problems — and none of them had a real solution. Ideas were disappearing. Every time something hit me it ended up in a notes app with no context, no reasoning, and no way to tell which ones were actually worth something. Over time I had many ideas and no way to make sense of any of them. Getting new ideas was also broken. I'd spend hours brainstorming with AI and walk away with nothing I'd actually build. Not because the suggestions were bad, but because the AI had no idea who I was as a builder. It didn't know what I'd already rejected, what patterns I was drawn to, or what kind of problems genuinely excited me. Every session started from zero. It was confirming what I already thought, not expanding it. And even when I had a good idea, there was no system to take it seriously. No way to pressure test it, understand why I liked it, explore whether it had already been built a hundred times, or know when I was actually ready to build it. So I asked a simple question: why is there no tool built around how a founder actually thinks? That's what Velaaa is. The Vault — capture every idea the moment it strikes, with the reasoning behind it. Track it from first spark to validated, shelved, or killed. Nothing gets lost, nothing gets forgotten. The Engine — an AI that generates, explores, and pressure tests ideas built specifically around you. It builds a model of your taste from how you actually behave — what you save, what you kill, what you keep coming back to. Two modes: Convergent stays inside your orbit. Divergent pushes you one deliberate step outside it — finding gaps you haven't thought to look for. The Taste Profile — the longer you use Velaaa, the more it understands you as a builder. What you're drawn to, what you consistently reject, where your blind spots are. Built passively from your behaviour, never from a form. The Runway — when you commit to an idea, a stage-gated build workspace with AI-generated strategy and tasks built entirely around your idea and context. Not templates. Your plan. This is v1 and there are exciting features and improvements already in the works. I'd love a honest feedback — Happy to answer anything in the comments 👇 Thanks for reading — Barakat
