You describe a problem. VAST delivers the solution.

You say what's wrong or what you need. VAST structures it, evaluates it, picks the right workflow, and executes — research, design, build, test, ship. Every step has rules. Every gate requires evidence before moving forward. You stay in control of decisions. The process handles the rest.

Structure, not suggestions.

Other tools let AI do whatever it wants. VAST enforces a process. The AI reads before it writes. It can't edit code during research. It can't ship without passing tests. Phases, gates, blocked actions — the quality is built into the system, not left to chance.

Everything connects. Nothing resets.

Problems link to features. Features link to documents. Documents link to code changes. Every artifact you create joins a knowledge graph that persists across sessions and machines. Ask "why was this built?" six months from now — the answer is there.

Your entire product. One interface.

Write code, run tests, deploy servers, manage DNS, open PRs, update docs — without switching tools. 120+ actions across git, GitHub, cargo, infrastructure, and analytics. VAST is not a coding assistant. It's the operating system for your product.

The specifics
Knowledge graph

10 artifact types — problems, features, documents, issues, changes, releases — linked and searchable.

Workflow engine

32 chains, 47 workflows. Phases with blocked actions, time budgets, and evidence gates.

Persistent memory

Notes, decisions, session history — all stored and linked. Context survives across sessions and machines.

Desktop app

Native macOS. Chat, terminal, graph visualization in one window. Rust + Dioxus. No Electron.

Multi-agent

Claude and Codex in the same project. VAST coordinates sessions so agents don't conflict.

120+ actions

Git, GitHub, cargo, infrastructure, analytics, file ops — all through conversation.

When you can just do things,
do the impossible.
