Valo

AI on your machine. Under your control.

Context control, security, and a UI anyone can use. No terminal required.

One click. No spam. Just an update when we launch.

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.

Everything you need

Project management, security, automation, voice, mobile access, custom agents — everything in one app. The CLI has about permission fatigue. Valo fixes that in one click.

  • 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 tools, skills, and messages it doesn't need. Edit instructions on the fly. Hand off when things pile up. The CLI has about context limits and compaction failures.

  • Project IntelligencePRO

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

  • Your Work Survives

    Sessions break silently — lost conversations, corrupted chats, auth failures you never asked for. Valo detects and repairs all of it automatically. The CLI has about lost sessions, about a stop button that corrupts your chat, and about multiple sessions breaking each other's auth.

  • MultiviewPRO

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

  • Cross-ProjectPRO

    Valo in one project can talk to Valo in another — sharing knowledge and context across workspaces.

  • 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.

  • Smart SearchPRO

    Search your entire project by meaning, not just keywords — 2x faster and more accurate than anything else, measured.

  • 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.

  • One-Click Permissions

    One click approves permissions for the whole task. No popups, no interruptions.

  • Desktop Automation

    Valo can control your desktop — click, type, scroll any app window. Automate beyond code.

  • On the Go

    Talk to Valo from your phone via Telegram. Text, voice, photos, permissions — from anywhere. The CLI has requesting this.

  • 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.

  • Active Memory

    Lessons learned resurface automatically when Valo works on related files — so past mistakes are never repeated. The CLI has about memory that doesn't persist.

  • Password Manager

    Your passwords and API keys live in an encrypted vault on your machine. Valo uses them to deploy and connect — but never sees the actual values.

  • Safety Guards

    Automatic protection that blocks dangerous actions before they happen. Four guards ship built-in. Add your own. The CLI has about files deleted without consent.

  • Streamer Mode

    Screen redaction that automatically hides 30+ types of secrets. Add your own words to the blocklist. The CLI has about exposed credentials.
