Vendo is the embedded layer that sits inside your SaaS product and lets your end users add the features they need, just by describing what they want. They build their own views and micro-apps, take real actions on your app, and connect the tools they already use, all on your API and in your brand. So you finally have a way to keep up with everything your customers ask for, and every one of them gets the product shaped to how they work.
This is the 2nd launch from Vendo. View more
Vendo
Launched this week
Vendo is an open-source customization layer in your product that lets every customer add the features and micro-apps they need, just by describing what they want. Until now software has been rigid, and every customer had to adapt to it. Vendo makes it dynamic, so your product shapes itself around each customer, built on your own API and inside the guardrails you set.

@nourzahzah Congrats for the launch! haha clicked purely because of the headline. "Let your users build their own features" is the kind of thing most SaaS teams would never say out loud. The endless "can it work a little differently for us?" queue is painfully real, curious how the guardrails work when a user builds something that touches sensitive data.
Vendo
@nourzahzah @lolo_cappucci Great question lorenzo! We have strict controls in place to make sure that everything the model displays can ONLY display real data (no hallucinated numbers), and will be releasing some benchmark numbers soon on this. We also have a Vendo Guard that intercepts every single tool call the agent makes, and asks the user for explicit permission if needed.

@gor_geghamyan Thank you Gor!
@nourzahzah Wow looks cool, wouldn't be surprised if it's 100B company in 3 years!
This is the future of SaaS.
Vendo
@mikestaub Absolutely!
I am wondering how the agent does not touch the source code but touches the database and possibly security design? Does the product owner get to know what has been added on by a user and who then is responsible when something does not work well?
Vendo
@richatsealedvault Great question! Everything the agent creates is stored in a seperate artifact per app, that is completely seperate to the source code. It only interacts with the API using the existing user authentication, so everything works within your existing security guardrails. And yes, we have an insights page in our console where you can see everything your users are creating.
@yousef_helal Thanks for answering my curious questions. As a developer, I find it intriguing and would explore it some more. Congratulations on your successful launch. Cheers!

@richatsealedvault Thank you Richard!

Very interesting guys. I really like the idea, but I am curious to howthis really work in practice. Does the user request really buid a feature in realtime for just that particular customer? Have seen some cool demos of the new gimini for this lately. Definetly some potential here. Congrats on the launch!
Vendo
@prebenandersen Thank you Preben! And yes, it builds everything in realtime. We will be releasing some benchmarks soon demonstrating that we are not only faster than anything else out there at this, but the only ones able to hold accuracy as well.

@yousef_helal That is really cool. Would love to get a demo of this and here more.

@prebenandersen Lets do it! Here is our calendar link: https://cal.com/team/vendo/intro-call
Congratulations on the launch! Curious to hear, is there anything that users built with Vendo that surprised you?

@varun_puru Thank you! Honestly, a lot of it has been simpler than we expected. Things like dashboards and views from existing data. Especially in B2B, it's these changes that aren't big enough to justify it on the main roadmap of the product, but they still matter a lot to the individual customer. Now they can get built.

This makes so much sense, I’d love to have customizability in my software. Would also makes sense to identify what people are building and make it generally available to everyone. Is this something you help with?
Vendo
@rohans0509 Yes it is! We have an insights dashboard where companies can view every single thing their user creates, and we give them interesting analytics based off of them.
@rohans0509 @yousef_helal What insights you do you think are most important to follow or track?

@zachx0 Great question Zach, and this is a problem we have worked hard to solve! We have a smart conflict resolution process that tries to re-apply the same user edits to the updated code and tries to resolve it as much as it can itself. If it is unable too though, we surface it to the user and let them know.
