Meet Vee: The AI That Gets Things Done Across VTC, and Beyond It

Most AI assistants are good at talking. You ask, they answer, and then you go and do the work yourself: open the app, fill in the form, send the email, make the call.

Vee is built to do the work. She is VTC's in-app AI, and from now on she has a name. Vee (she/her, the V from VTC) replaces the names "AI Guide" and "Jev" you may have seen in VTC. When something needs doing, the answer is simple: Vee will handle it.

Here's what she does, how she does it, and how you stay in control.

Vee works inside every VTC app

Every app on VTC comes with an AI manifest. A manifest is a short, structured description of what an app can do: the actions it offers, such as "create an event", "add a task" or "book a slot", and what each action needs. Vee reads these manifests, so she knows what every app in your Space can do and can take those actions for you.

That means you don't have to know which app does what, or where the button is. You say what you want, and Vee works across apps to get it done.

For you, as a person:

• "Add the parents' evening to my calendar and remind me the day before."

• "What's due this week across all my Spaces?"

• "Build me a simple app to track my running, and log today's 5 km."

Every VTC account comes with a personal AI and a personal workspace, so Vee is with you in your own corner of VTC as well as in every Space you join.

For a Space, such as a small business:

• "Create a Kanban board for the shop refit and add tasks for flooring, lighting and signage."

• "Mark the blue jacket as sold out in the Marketplace."

• "Move Friday's staff meeting to 10:00 and let the team know in the feed."

For a Space, such as a club or a school:

• "Set up an event for Saturday's match and open RSVPs."

• "Post this week's homework for Year 8 Science and take attendance for period 2."

• "Summarize what the committee decided in chat this month."

For a Network:

• "Which Spaces in our network have events this weekend?"

• "Create a Space for each new department and install Projects and Files in each."

• "Draft a network-wide announcement and show me which Spaces it will reach."

Vee also works as a team player. VTC's AI is multiplayer: a Space's team works with the same AI on the same shared data and apps, and each person's access follows their role. When one person asks Vee to start something, a colleague can pick it up, and everyone can see who asked for what. You can read more in our earlier article, Multiplayer AI: When Your Whole Team Works With the Same AI.

Vee researches the web on a computer of her own

Some tasks need the outside world: comparing suppliers, checking a venue's opening hours, finding grant programs, reading a supplier's terms. For these, Vee uses a sandboxed virtual machine.

In plain words, a virtual machine is a complete computer that runs in the cloud rather than on your desk. "Sandboxed" means it is sealed off. Vee can open a browser on it, visit websites, read pages and gather what she finds, but that computer has no access to your VTC data, your files or your accounts. If a website is badly behaved, the problem stays inside the sandbox.

What comes back to you is the result: a summary, a comparison, a list of sources. You decide what to do with it, and Vee can then act on it inside VTC.

• A person: "Find three summer coding camps near us for a 12-year-old and compare prices and dates."

• A small business: "Check the websites of these four packaging suppliers and put their minimum order sizes in a table."

• A school: "Find museums within an hour of the school that offer free group visits, and draft a trip proposal."

• A Network: "Research funding programs our member clubs could apply for, and post a shortlist in the Network feed."

Vee has her own email address, and so does your Space

Vee gets an agent email address for each user and for each Space. That gives her a proper place to send and receive mail for you, without handing her the keys to your personal inbox.

For a person, that means you can forward Vee a booking confirmation and have it land in your calendar, or let her handle the back-and-forth of finding a time to meet.

For a Space, the address becomes a shared front door. A bakery's Space can receive supplier quotes and order questions, and Vee can sort them, answer the routine ones in drafts for the team, and file the rest into the right app. A club can receive membership enquiries and turn each one into a contact with a welcome reply ready to send. A school office can collect permission-slip replies and keep a tidy list of who has said yes.

Vee calls, emails and WhatsApps for you

Plenty of life still runs on phone calls and messages. Vee can call, email or send a WhatsApp message on your behalf, always with your approval before anything goes out.

• A person: "Call the dentist and move my appointment to next week, any morning." Vee prepares what she'll say, you approve, she makes the call and reports back with the new time.

• A small business: "WhatsApp the customers whose orders are ready for collection." Vee drafts each message from your order data, you check them, and she sends them.

• A club: "Email the parents of everyone who hasn't paid the season fee yet, with a friendly reminder."

• A Network: "Email the admin of every Space that hasn't set up its events calendar, and offer to help."

Vee is also gaining real-time voice: a natural spoken conversation that you can interrupt at any point, the way you would with a person. And with VTC's Agents app, Vee can take on longer jobs that run across several apps, such as onboarding a new member from first email to first event, and keep you posted along the way.

Your agent and your members' agents

Vee works for you, from inside VTC. That's different from a member's own outside AI agent visiting VTC on their behalf, a question we wrote about in Your Members' AI Agents Are Coming. Here's How VTC Plans to Let Them In. Both matter, and both follow the same idea: an agent should only ever do what the person behind it is allowed to do.

Trust and control

An AI that acts is only useful if you can trust it. These are the rules Vee works by:

• You approve anything that leaves VTC. Vee doesn't send an email, make a call or post a WhatsApp message without your approval first. She drafts it, you check it, and only then does it go.

• Vee never exceeds your role. She acts with the same permissions you have in each Space, and no more. If you can't see a collection or change a setting, neither can Vee when she works for you. Changes she makes inside apps go through the same role checks as everything else on VTC, and actions that change things are confirmed with you before they run.

• A log of what she did. Every action Vee takes is recorded, so you and your Space admins can see who asked for what and what Vee did as a result.

• Research stays in the sandbox. The research computer is isolated from your data. It browses the web; it doesn't touch your Spaces, files or accounts.

• AI uses credits. Vee's work is paid for with VTC credits, and the cost depends on the task: a quick answer uses little, a long research job uses more. New accounts get 100 promo credits, which cover apps and data but never AI, so Vee's work always comes from your own credit balance. You stay in charge of what you spend.

AI can also get things wrong. Vee shows you what she plans to do and what she found, so you can catch a mistake before it matters. For anything important, a quick look is always worth it.

What this means for your Space

The idea behind Vee is simple. You shouldn't need to learn ten apps to run a club, a shop or a school. You should be able to say what you need and have it done, safely, by an AI that knows your Space, respects your roles and asks before it speaks for you.

If you already use VTC, you'll see the name Vee where the AI Guide used to be. Ask her for something you'd normally do by hand, and see what she does with it.
