Valo

The Workspace for AI.

Claude and Codex provide the intelligence, through the access you already have. Valo is everything around it: projects, tools, memory, continuity, security, protection, and care.

Or wait for the code-signed release — no warnings, no workarounds. One email when it lands, nothing else.

Built-in expertise

Valo knows itself.

Not a chatbot that guesses. Valo understands every part of the app — what it does, how to use it, and how to help you with it.

  • Every setting, every panel, every workflow — Valo already knows what it does and how to help you with it.

  • New features ship daily. Valo learns them the same day.

  • Stuck? Confused? Just ask. Valo explains in your language, not developer jargon.

Zero-effort support

Customer support without lifting a finger.

Hit a bug? Want a feature? Just say it out loud. Valo handles everything — the report, the formatting, the delivery.

  • Say "this is broken" or "I wish it could do X" — Valo writes the report for you.

  • Your feedback goes directly to the team. No forms, no accounts, no GitHub.

  • Every request is public and trackable. You can see what others asked for too.

Full automation

Describe what you need. Valo does the rest.

Websites, deployments, APIs, installs — say it in plain language. The technical parts are not your problem.

  • Describe what you need. Valo handles the steps — websites, deployments, installs, all of it.

  • Your secrets live in an encrypted vault on your machine. Valo uses them to deploy and call APIs, but never sees the actual values.

The Orchestrator

You think AI already does this. It doesn't.

Ask an AI for “a button” and you think you asked for one thing. You didn't — you asked for the wiring, the styling, the states, the edge cases. A normal AI crams all of it into one tired chat and hands you something half-done. Valo's Orchestrator is your product manager: it breaks your ask into the jobs it really contains, gives each one its own fresh chat, and runs them live in front of you.

  • One sentence in. Valo splits it into many smaller jobs — each handled by its own chat with a clear head, so nothing comes back half-finished.

  • It sizes each job, picks the model for it, sets how deeply each chat thinks, and manages what every chat sees — decisions you did not know needed making, made for you.

  • Watch every chat work, live. Mute the ones you trust, pull any one out to talk to it yourself, or drop a whole chat in to be managed.

  • Valo keeps the plan in its head so the workers can spend theirs on the work. You stay the director — it checks in, you decide, it keeps the room moving.

Only in Valo

  • Valo Film

    Your creative partner can create or edit, upload, measure, and improve the channel with you. Production and distribution become one continuing relationship. Meet Film →
  • OrchestratorPRO

    One ask becomes many focused jobs, each with a fresh mind. Valo coordinates the workers live while you watch, interrupt, redirect, and make the decisions that matter.
  • Valo Memory

    Hard-won knowledge stays quiet until the exact files or ideas it relates to return. Then Valo brings it back without stuffing every old lesson into every conversation.
  • Passwords + Keyguard

    Valo can run deployments, publish videos, and use connected accounts without putting your passwords or API keys in the conversation, where they would be sent to the AI provider.
  • Valo SearchPRO

    Search code, documentation, and past conversations by meaning in one query. It found the right context 2x faster than the default tools in a recorded test.
  • Your Work Survives

    Stopped sessions, broken transcripts, and silent chat failures do not get to erase the work. Valo detects the damage and repairs it.
  • Screen Control

    On Windows, Valo can work in the browser you already have open using named controls instead of blind clicks. It asks before every screen capture.
  • Cross-ProjectPRO

    Valo in one project can talk to Valo in another. Separate workspaces can share exactly what the other side needs without collapsing everything into one chat.
  • Valo Mail

    Customer support lives inside the conversation. Say what broke. Valo diagnoses it, writes the report, and sends it directly to the people building Valo. Bugs are usually fixed the same day or the next.
  • Safety GuardsPRO

    Protection checks dangerous actions before they run and stops the ones that cross a line.

Everything you need

Project management, security, automation, voice, mobile access, custom agents — everything in one app. Every problem it fixes traces back to a real, documented issue. See the receipts →
  • Talk As It Works

    Most AI tools make you send a message and then wait — it sits until the turn ends, then gets read with no idea when you sent it. Valo is the one you can actually talk to: say something while it works and it hears you right then, knowing exactly when you spoke. A partner you can interject, not a monologue.
  • Pause, Not Kill

    Everywhere else, stopping the AI mid-task means a hard kill — the same button documented to corrupt chats and lose work. Valo gives you Pause: it asks the AI to halt cleanly and wait for you, without killing anything. Nothing lost, and it feels more polite.
  • Two AI Engines

    Claude and Codex, in one app. Switch anytime, or let them work side by side on the same project. Most tools lock you to one.
  • Local Models

    Run AI on your own machine with one click. Valo picks a local model and sets it up — no config, nothing leaves your computer.
  • ValoLinkPRO

    Your Valo on one computer talks to your Valo on another — across the internet, with a 6-character code. Two machines, one conversation.
  • Live Map

    Your codebase as a living graph. Nodes light up as Valo works — trails show where it went and why.
  • Context ControlPRO

    AI gets dumber the longer you talk — unless you manage what it sees. Hide the tools, skills, and messages Claude does not need. Edit instructions on the fly. Hand off when things pile up.
  • Project IntelligencePRO

    Valo remembers where everything in your project lives — and finds it instantly, without re-reading. Across every session.
  • Multi-Project Workspace

    Keep every project open in one window and flip between them like browser tabs. No juggling windows, no reopening folders — your whole workload in one place. Most desktop AI apps give you one project at a time.
  • MultiviewPRO

    Run multiple chats side by side — 2-up, 2x2, or 3x2 grid. See everything at once.
  • Built-in Browser

    A built-in browser for looking things up, checking live pages, and automating web tasks.
  • Live Preview

    Valo writes code, you see it render. React, HTML, Tailwind — live in the right panel.
  • Code ConnectionsPRO

    Valo sees how your whole project connects — what depends on what, what's safe to change — so you never break something by accident.
  • VoicePRO

    Talk to Valo out loud. Transcription happens on your machine — nothing sent to the cloud.
  • Forever History

    Every chat lives forever. Across restarts, reboots, reinstalls — searchable, archivable, restorable.
  • Scheduled TasksPRO

    Valo works on a schedule — on your machine, not someone else's server. It picks up where it left off. Nobody else has this.
  • Permissions That Hold

    Decide once per tool, not once per popup. Run on full trust and Valo works without interrupting you — while the tools you pinned to Ask, like sending mail or spending an API key, still stop and check. Nothing can override what you set by hand.
  • On the Go

    Talk to Valo from your phone via Telegram. Text, voice, photos, permissions — from anywhere.
  • Build Your Own Agents

    Build your own specialized agents and skills just by talking. No code, no framework — describe what you want and it exists.
  • Streamer Mode

    Screen redaction that automatically hides 30+ types of secrets. Add your own words to the blocklist.
