The VLM Run platform is where you interact with, build on, and monitor your visual AI. Whether you're chatting with Orion to understand a PDF, building a reusable skill for invoice extraction, or tracking the latency and cost of every API call, it all happens here.

The platform is organized around four pillars:

* **[Observe](https://app.vlm.run/dashboard/overview)**: Full observability across your visual AI usage. Monitor requests, track executions, review completions, and keep costs in check.
* **[Skills](https://app.vlm.run/dashboard/skills)**: Modular, reusable capabilities that tell the model what to extract and how to structure it. Create once, reference from any endpoint.
* **[Chat](https://chat.vlm.run/)**: The interactive playground for your visual agent. Attach images, PDFs, or videos and get structured responses in real time.
* **[Evaluations](/platform/observe/evaluations)**: Measure accuracy for skills, agents, and domains using feedback as ground truth, with dashboard runs and per-field metrics.
