Vellium Adds Desktop Pets and Agent Tab in Latest Update
Enable the new Pets and Agents features in Vellium, allowing desktop UI pets and document‑reading agents that can run terminal commands and connect to MCP servers.
Update Vellium to the latest release, enable the Agents tab in settings, and experiment with creating a pet and connecting an MCP server to test agent functionality.
Summary
The open‑source cross‑platform LLM app Vellium has added two major features: desktop pets and an agents tab.
Pets can be created or imported from the Codex OAI app, placed above all windows, and interact via a hover interface that shows emotions. The feature is still raw but demonstrates the ability to embed a pet on the desktop.
The agents tab is disabled by default; enabling it in settings unlocks agents that can read documents, run terminal commands, act as coding assistants, edit files, and connect to MCP servers. Users can add existing MCP servers to the agent.
Additional minor fixes include chat‑mode field customization and various bug fixes. The update is available on GitHub, and the new features are aimed at improving the visual experience of using CLI‑like agents.
The release supports cross‑platform use and encourages users to try the new pet and agent functionalities.
