Vellum has launched Ambient Assistants, adding @vellum_ai assistant as a floating pill on top of any Mac app, where it sees the screen in real time and can draw on top of it to point at what matters.
Context that used to be taken from screenshots, pasted links, and long prompts now comes straight from whatever is open on screen.
Users can hand off a task by voice without leaving the app they use, while Vellum assistant works on it in the background.
In unfamiliar tools, Vellum assistant can circle the exact button, setting, or metric to use, directly on screen.
Users can show a routine on screen and talk it through, so the assistant can run it later after its plan is approved.
