Relay.app

What is Relay.app?

Relay.app is a platform for creating and managing AI agents that work on your behalf. You can set up agents with a name, teach them an initial skill, and then provide feedback so they can improve over time.

The site positions Relay.app as an “AI team” that can operate across common business tools (including Gmail, Notion, and HubSpot) and other connected apps, enabling agents to run workflows rather than requiring you to manually execute each step.

Key Features

• Create custom AI agents: Start by giving an agent a name and teaching it an initial skill.
• Iterate with feedback: Provide feedback to help agents improve over time.
• Agent skill templates: Explore “skill templates” to jump-start common capabilities built by others.
• Works across many apps (integrations): Connect Relay.app with a large set of tools; the site lists integrations spanning productivity, CRM, messaging, marketing, and more.
• Designed for end-to-end agent workflows: Add an agent to your team and manage it as part of a broader workflow setup (described as “3 simple steps”).

How to Use Relay.app

1. Start a free trial or sign in (the site shows “Start for free” and “Log in”).
2. Add an agent to your team by entering a name.
3. Teach your agent its first skill, then provide feedback to help it improve over time.
4. Connect the apps you use using Relay.app’s integrations so the agent can operate in your existing tools.

Use Cases

• Email-driven automation: Use an AI agent connected to Gmail to handle tasks that begin with email (for example, acting on messages and performing follow-up steps).
• Knowledge-work workflows: Set up an agent connected to Notion to assist with structured work tied to pages or databases you manage there.
• CRM-related agent actions: Create agent workflows connected to HubSpot for sales or customer-management related tasks.
• Marketing and partnerships support: Use agents with tools like Mailchimp, LinkedIn, and HubSpot to help coordinate marketing/partner activities and reduce manual weekly work.
• Cross-tool office automation: Combine multiple connected apps (the site lists hundreds) to automate multi-step processes across your business stack.

FAQ

• What are Relay.app agents? Relay.app agents are AI agents you create and configure to perform tasks/workflows on your behalf using skills you teach and feedback you provide.

• How do I start building an agent? The site describes a workflow where you add an agent by giving it a name, teaching its first skill, and then providing feedback to help it improve.

• Which apps does Relay.app integrate with? The site lists many integrations. It explicitly mentions Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, and indicates compatibility with hundreds of other apps.

• Can I use prebuilt skills instead of starting from scratch? Relay.app provides “skill templates” so you can explore examples of skills built by others.

• Do agents get better over time? The site states that agents improve over time based on feedback you provide.

Alternatives

• Workflow automation platforms (no/low-code): Tools that automate processes with triggers and actions across apps. They may require building flows manually rather than creating agent-like entities with iterative feedback.
• AI chat assistants with tool integrations: General AI assistants that can use connected tools, typically offering more conversational interaction while relying on prompts and user oversight.
• Custom automation with APIs / integration frameworks: Developers can build automations directly; this can offer maximum control but usually involves more engineering effort than agent onboarding.
• Agent frameworks and orchestration platforms: Platforms for building agent systems programmatically. These can be more technical, whereas Relay.app emphasizes adding agents via a guided setup flow.
