What Vela can do
Ask questions or describe what you want done. Follow progress and review results in chat.
Vela answers using the tools available to your sign-in. Select Vela, Search, Insights, Engage or Optimise in its agent list. The header shows who you are talking to. Vela is the Operator and coordinates the team.
Ask a question or describe the outcome
| Need | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Find a business or opportunity | Give Search an area, sector, record or specific question. |
| Understand recorded changes | Ask Insights for a bounded comparison and its workings. |
| Prepare writing | Name the conversation, record or campaign for Engage. |
| Follow through | Ask Vela to check commitments, jobs and next steps. |
| Review outcomes | Name a campaign for Optimise and request a supported suggestion. |
| Read your account | Ask about available records, lists, campaigns, tasks, settings or approvals. |
A direct read can answer immediately. Continuing specialist work is saved as a job. A queued request has not finished; follow its status rather than repeating it. See Get things done in Vela.
Relevant work can use your saved description and voice under Agents, then Settings, Your business. That is shared context and operational history, not a personal memory file for each role.
Check what will happen
The assistant can prepare supported drafts, tasks and changes. Read the exact action and target before approving. Saving a draft is different from sending it or starting a campaign. It cannot approve its own protected action or bypass application checks.
If a tool, connection or permission is missing, the assistant should explain that limit. It must not claim it has sent, changed or finished something without a recorded result. Missing figures are not zero.
Limits and connected tools
Account limits, quiet hours and role switches can hold saved jobs. Reveals, exports, writing and research can use separate allowances. A connection does not provide unrestricted browsing or access to another account.
Vela and the external MCP connector expose different tool surfaces. Do not assume a tool documented for MCP is available in chat. MCP management permissions require separate consent: What the MCP connector is for.
The website demonstration answers product questions and shows labelled examples. It cannot open customer records or run account jobs: Try the public agent demonstration.
