Velatir for Desktop is a small agent that runs in the background on each device. Once installed it needs nothing from your team, and everything it does is managed from Velatir.

What it does

  • Covers AI in the browser. The installer deploys the Velatir browser extension with your organisation’s ingest key, so prompts and responses in web AI tools become traces.
  • Sees AI apps on the device. It detects which supported AI applications are installed, and can report when an AI-native app is launched.
  • Ingests CLI activity where enabled. Claude Code and Codex can send their activity to the agent over OpenTelemetry when that capability is on for your organisation.
  • Updates itself. The agent keeps itself current automatically, with no update service to manage.

Managed capabilities

The installer is the same across an organisation’s devices; Velatir applies the organisation’s capability configuration after installation. The agent can manage device identity and health, browser coverage, local AI-app detection, directory identity, and updates independently. A missing or unavailable configuration fails safe: the device does not invent a capability setting. Browser policy is ownership-aware. Organisations can have Velatir manage supported browser installation, write only the identity values while their own MDM manages installation, or leave browser policy entirely to their MDM. The agent removes only policy it owns. The device reports its versions, health, update outcome, browser-delivery posture, and directory identity in its heartbeat. This lets Velatir stage updates, halt an unhealthy rollout, and diagnose a device without requiring a reinstall.
