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.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Nour, cofounder of Vendo (YC S26).
Vendo embeds an agent inside your product that lets each of your customers build their own features and micro-apps directly on top of it, just by describing what they want.
We built it because every SaaS team we talked to had the same problem. Every customer wants the product to work a little differently, the requests never stop, and no roadmap can keep up. Most teams answer that with a chatbot bolted to the corner of the screen.
Software has always been rigid, and every customer had to adapt to it. Now it's dynamic, and your product shapes itself around each customer.
Everything runs on your existing API, renders natively in your own theme and components, and never touches your source code. You can plug Vendo into an agent you already have, or deploy a production-ready one that takes actions in the product, generates UI, connects hundreds of external tools, and draws on a built-in knowledge base.
It's open source and installs with a single command.
👉 Try it at https://vendo.run/ and check out the repo: https://github.com/runvendo/vendo
users building their own features inside the app is a bold bet 👏 how do you keep the guardails tight?
Been needing this, can't wait to cut down on my Tampermonkey extensions 😄
This is the future of software. But how do you prevent AI slop from being written by customer, and who owns maintenance?
interesting! how do you resolve conflicts across my new releases and users' preferences?
This makes so much sense, I’d love to have customizability in my software. Would also makes sense to identify what people are building and make it generally available to everyone. Is this something you help with?
Congratulations on the launch! Curious to hear, is there anything that users built with Vendo that surprised you?
Pretty interesting direction for Saas, giving users a way to build some of the smaller things they need themselves could take a lot of those one-off requests off the table. Congrats on the launch!
The future is personalized software! Super cool to see. What kind of analytics are there to see what people are building?
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.
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.
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?
Amazing product! One question though, can we control which parts of the product are open to this and which aren’t?
I am wondering how the agent does not touch the source code but touches the database and possibly security design? Does the product owner get to know what has been added on by a user and who then is responsible when something does not work well?
