Vendo - Let your users build their own features inside your product
by•
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.

Always been thinking this is possible with AI. Here it is! Congrats.

@himani_sah1 Indeed, thank you!
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.
Congratulations on the launch! Curious to hear, is there anything that users built with Vendo that surprised you?

@varun_puru Thank you! Honestly, a lot of it has been simpler than we expected. Things like dashboards and views from existing data. Especially in B2B, it's these changes that aren't big enough to justify it on the main roadmap of the product, but they still matter a lot to the individual customer. Now they can get built.

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).

The whole customization layer is open source, repo and all, and it installs with a single command. You could have kept that closed. Congrats, easy to root for.

@lucasjpols Thank you! That means a lot. Yea, that was quite important for us, especially with the product sitting as an embedded layer in other products and running on their API. Glad it resonated!

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.

@ben_kahan Thanks for your comment Ben! And yes, we are completely open-source: https://github.com/runvendo/vendo
Is there a self-hosted option, or is it hosted only?
Vendo
@whatsrobdoing Yes, we're open source and have a self-hosted option too! Feel free to check out our github repository: https://github.com/runvendo/vendo
