Over the past few months, we ve been talking to a lot of you using Velo.
Real conversations, and people trying it out, sending clips, pointing things out.
And almost everyone said some version of the same thing: It sounds like me but something feels missing.
At first, we thought it was about accuracy. Maybe the voice wasn t close enough. But the more we listened, the clearer it became - that wasn t the issue.
The issue was how it felt. The tone stays a bit too samey. The emphasis doesn t always land where you expect it to. And the little natural shifts that make your voice yours just aren t fully there yet. It sounds right, but it doesn t feel alive.
So we went back and started reworking how we think about voice cloning at Velo. Not just matching how you sound, but capturing how you express. The way your voice changes when you re explaining something, when you re just talking casually, or when you actually care about what you re saying.
That s what we re building now. The next version of Velo is focused on higher fidelity voice cloning. More nuance. Better pacing. More natural expression.
Something that doesn t feel like a generated voice reading your script, but closer to you actually speaking.
We re still building it, but it s coming together fast. We re planning to ship this soon.
If you ve used Velo before, we d love to know - what do you think about Velo's voice cloning or other workflows? What would make it feel right?
We re listening.

We launched Velo on Product Hunt this morning without expecting anything.

I thought we'd spend the day refreshing the upvote counter. Instead, I got hooked on reading every comment, watching sign-ups roll in, and seeing users create their first Velo in real time.

The meeting paradox

The async revolution was supposed to kill meetings, but it did the opposite. Since 2020, weekly meetings have increased 153%, despite every company adopting Loom, Slack, Notion, and a dozen other async tools. The tools multiplied, the meetings stayed. Something structural is broken.

The first version taught us a lot. What worked, what didn t, where people got stuck, and where things felt magical. We ve rebuilt a lot of Velo from the ground up based on that.

Before we hit launch, I want to ask this community directly:

What would you expect from a product like Velo today?

Velo is trying to make it effortless to express ideas through video, using your screen, your voice, and AI, without needing to be good at making videos.

A user on r/ElevenLabs described their cloned voice as "too pristine - like the AI restored my voice to a younger, less character-filled version of itself."

That one sentence nailed it. Most cloning models are trained on clean, professional audio.
So when your voice goes in, it doesn't just get copied, it gets corrected.
The rasp smoothed out, the pacing evened, and the natural drop in energy at the end of a thought, gone.
Technically better audio. Emotionally hollow output.
A November 2025 study from Queen Mary University found listeners are fooled by synthetic voices more than half the time.
But fooled isn't the same as convinced. Something feels off. They just can't name it.
What they're feeling is the absence of imperfection. The fingerprints that make a voice actually yours.
Most tools optimise for clean. However, we are taking a little different road than just clean.
We built Velo's voice clone to optimise for you - preserving the rhythm, texture, and natural unevenness that makes your voice recognisable as yourself.
Our new feature launch is also around perfecting voice clones and streaming them faster.
This is such an exciting time to be in this AI space. Would love to connect with any fellow builder in AI voice cloning space.
Let's catch-up and exchange ideas, what say?

Some of you have been using and sharing Velo without us asking.
We are seeing it and we really appreciate it. More than you know.
So we have launched an affiliate program - our way of giving back for all that organic sharing and the love you have been showing Velo.
We would love for you to know more about it. And if it interests you, we would be genuinely happy to have you as part of the Velo family.
Check it out here: https://www.usevelo.ai/affiliate...
Moreover, it not restricted for just Velo users. If you make content, run a community, or just know people who would find Velo useful - this is worth a look.
And here is the thing, with Velo 2.0 launching soon, this is going to be an amazing time to be close to what we are building.
The momentum is real and it is only going up from here. So excited for what is coming.
Can you guess what we are going to enhance, change, or add in Velo 2.0?
Take wild guesses. I would genuinely love to know what you think.

Hey everyone!

We're beyond grateful to be named Product of the Day. It has been incredible, and the response from this community has blown us away.

Things have been moving really fast at Velo. 

The pace at which we're building based on feedback has honestly been a bit crazy, in a good way.

We're shipping, iterating, and learning fast.
