AI product development platform for prompt engineering, testing, and LLM deployment

Vellum is a New York-based AI product development platform that provides the tooling layer engineering teams need to build reliable LLM-powered features and deploy them to production with confidence — covering prompt management, evaluation frameworks, model comparison, workflow building, and production monitoring. It addresses a specific gap: moving from a working LLM prototype to a production-grade feature that behaves consistently, can be updated safely, and can be monitored over time. Vellum targets engineering teams at SMBs and mid-market companies building AI features inside products — not the AI/ML researchers building foundation models, but the product engineers shipping customer-facing AI capabilities. It has raised $5M+ in seed funding with backing from Susa Ventures and others.

Key Features

  • Prompt management and versioning: A centralized system for writing, versioning, testing, and deploying prompts — allowing teams to update production prompts without code deploys and track which version of a prompt is live.
  • LLM evaluation framework: Structured evaluation harnesses for testing prompt and model changes against defined datasets before pushing to production — measuring output quality, regression, and behavioral changes systematically.
  • Model comparison and A/B testing: Side-by-side comparison of outputs from different models and prompt variants on the same inputs, helping teams select the best model-prompt combination for each use case.
  • AI workflow builder: A visual tool for chaining LLM calls, retrieval steps, and logic into multi-step AI workflows that can be built and iterated on without code.
  • Production monitoring: Logging and observability for live LLM calls in production, tracking quality scores, latency, and cost over time — surfacing regressions before they compound.
  • Multi-model integration: Connects to all major LLM providers, allowing teams to work across models from a single interface.

Use Cases

  • For engineering teams managing multiple LLM features: A product engineering team uses Vellum to manage prompts, run evaluations, and monitor outputs across ten different AI features in a single platform rather than maintaining scattered scripts and spreadsheets.
  • For teams migrating models or prompts safely: An engineering team switching from one LLM provider to another uses Vellum’s evaluation harness to confirm the new model matches or exceeds existing quality on production-representative test cases before cutover.
  • For product teams iterating on prompts without code deploys: A PM or AI product engineer uses Vellum’s prompt management layer to test and deploy prompt changes directly, without needing an engineering sprint for each iteration.
