Hey everyone, another question from the Velozity team as we get closer to launch.
Last time we asked how AI work moves between people on a team. This time we want to dig into trust.
Right now most people keep their AI on a short leash: it drafts, it suggests, but a person clicks send. That's safe, but it also means every handoff between a person and their AI, or between two people's AIs, still needs a human in the loop to move things along.
We're building Velozity so agents can work more directly inside a team's shared space, chat, tasks, files, calendar, with a person approving anything that leaves the workspace rather than approving every single step along the way.
Support from a fan of the build. I watched the team work on this for a long time, and it shows in how polished it feels. Well done.
@shivansh_singh26 Thank you so much, Shivansh, that means a lot. It took a lot of patience from the whole team, and comments like yours make it worth it. If you get a chance to try it today, I'd love to hear what you think works and what doesn't.
Sounds awesome! Also, amazing editing of the video! Congrats!
@lakshya_singh Thank you, Lakshya! 🙌 Not everyone will see the video the same way, and that's fine, but I'm really glad it clicked for you. We wanted it to show real teammates doing real work, and your note tells me it landed.
This looks cool! Congrats
@louislecat Thank you so much, Louis! Please give it a spin. I'd be happy to give you three months of Pro on us. Just sign up and drop me a note here, and I'll switch it on. Would love to hear what you think once you've tried it with your team.
Congrats on the launch, I really like the User interface, One question about "use your existing AI subscription".
Anthropic's rules for Claude subscriptions are strict, so I want to understand how this works before I connect mine:
Do you run the official, unmodified Claude Code, or your own client?
Does the login happen on Anthropic's own page, and do you ever store my Claude token on your servers?
On the cloud computer, where is my Claude login saved?
Can teammates use an agent that runs on my Claude subscription?
Thanks, a clear answer here would help many users feel safe.
Thanks, @navid_shad. Fair questions.
Official Claude Code, unmodified. We don't ship our own Claude client. Velozity runs the Claude Code that Anthropic distributes. If you already have it installed, we use yours. If you don't, we fetch it with Anthropic's own installer from Anthropic's site, so updates stay on their channel. We start it in its standard non-interactive mode with its documented options.
You log in on Anthropic's page, and we never store your token. "Connect Claude" runs Claude Code's own sign-in, which opens Anthropic's login page in your browser. The token is saved by Claude Code itself, in the same place it uses when you sign in from a terminal. Velozity never reads, stores, or refreshes it, and it is never sent to our servers.
On a cloud computer, the login is saved only on that computer. It is the same official sign-in, run on your private cloud computer, and Claude Code saves the login in its own file there. It is not copied into our database. When you stop the computer, it saves its disk as a whole, so your sign-in is still there when it starts again.
No, teammates cannot use an agent that runs on your subscription. Only the person who owns an agent can run it. A teammate in the same Space can see its replies, but if they try to trigger it, the server refuses. Each person connects their own Claude account for their own agents.
@ishudarshan That's an interesting architecture that users bring their agents on behalf of their self and and each user just can trigger its own agent.
What about the runtime environment, where agents get run online or local? this part has been mention in the website but honestly still unclear for me:
1. Do I get a vm from Velozity?
2. Do Velozity runs the agents on my local machine?
@navid_shad Both, and you choose per agent.
Yes, you can get a cloud computer from Velozity. It's a full Linux virtual machine that belongs only to you, not a shared container. It runs on boat (formerly Box) by ASCII, whose machines and their saved disks are hosted in the EU. Your agent works there even when your laptop is closed; you can watch its screen live, and it stops itself when idle and picks up where it left off.
Yes, agents can also run on your own machine. In that case, Velozity starts the Claude Code or Codex already installed on your computer, using your login and your files. Nothing is moved to a server to run it, and it works while the Velozity app is open.
Same rule in both cases: only you can trigger your own agent.
@ishudarshan appreciate your answers
@pawani_krishna Thanks, Pawani! Yes, it works well for study groups. Your group's chats, notes, and AI help all live in one shared space instead of being scattered across apps. There's a free plan to get started, so you can try it with your group at no cost.
Pulling chat, calls, tasks, calendar and files into one workspace and then letting your existing AI subscriptions work inside it is a sensible direction, since the problem is usually fragmentation rather than missing features. Sharing the same context across agents is the detail that makes it useful. Do the agents keep awareness of meetings and tasks across the whole space?
@karimbenkeroum Thanks, and you've put it well: fragmentation is the real problem. Yes, they do.
An agent in a space can see that space's conversations, files, notes, call transcripts shared there, and tasks. So if something was agreed in Monday's meeting, the agent knows it when you hand it a task on Tuesday. That awareness is scoped to the space the agent is in, so it doesn't spill into spaces it wasn't added to.
