The product
What Vendo is building
Vendo is an open-source customization layer that lets a software product expose an agentic interface to its own users. According to its product site, customers can request views, automations, and micro-apps inside the host product while the integration reads the application's components, tools, and permission rules. Vendo provides an npm package and initialization workflow, with a free option for solo use and paid cloud tiers for collaboration and governance. Its site also documents a public console and an open-source repository for teams evaluating the approach.
From the maker
A young YC-backed layer for user-facing agentic product customization
Vendo's August 19, 2026 product update documented a cloud setup for agent-only products, including a tenant connector and an agent workflow that can build and pin a dashboard. The still-young product has a public free path and open-source package, and it explores a concrete founder question: how to let customers compose useful interfaces without handing them unrestricted access to the application.
