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.

Very Interesting! Can this pull in data from tools outside our product, or is it only our own data?
Vendo
@i_hdesd Thanks! Both, actually. It runs on your API and data, and anything it generates is built from your own components so it doesn't invent anything. On top of that, your users can connect their own outside tools (we support hundreds of integrations), so the agent can pull from those too.
Amazing product! One question though, can we control which parts of the product are open to this and which aren’t?
Vendo
@mohammed_madni_vaid Yup! We have very solid policy controls so you can control everything, and see it all audited.

The future is personalized software! Super cool to see. What kind of analytics are there to see what people are building?
Vendo
@franklee Great question Frank! We give you direct insights into what your users are building, common requests that many people are making, usage of the apps over time, and so much more. If you want something special as well, you can just create it with Vendo from inside our console!

interesting - can def see adv of this as a way to add val to customers. hows it sandboxed tho ?
Vendo
@ibrahim_abdu1 Great question! We have two layers. For quick screens where there is no need for a backend, we have a QuickJS-based sandbox that runs everything and generates the UI for the user (this happens instantly, and it looks native on your site). For features/apps that need a backend or more advanced capabilities, we spawn an ephermeral sandbox where everything runs from.

@yousef_helal ok how does this impact latency?
Vendo
@ibrahim_abdu1 For the first layer (the QuickJS-based sandbox) it does not affect latency at all, and it is instant. This is since it is in-process so there is no noticeable delay. For more advanced applications requiring an ephermeral sandbox, there is a slight increase in latency (still sub-second). But we keep a warm pool to minimize this!

@yousef_helal nice!

Congrats guys. How do you handle a PM's fear that customers will customize themselves into pure mess and it will be hard to take it back? and also generate support issues they aren't responsible for?
Vendo
@najmuzzaman Great questions! We have a bunch of guardrails to ensure that this does not happen, and have found that the models have reached a level of ability where this has not been a problem (and we have not seen it with any of our customers).
Good to see the second launch, and this one is open source with a one-command install. It runs on the customer's own API and never touches their source code, which is a hard line to hold.
