Overview

What is Relay.app?

Relay.app is a cloud-hosted automation platform that lets you build workflows by connecting steps together to automate tasks across apps.

Instead of writing custom software, you create workflows made up of steps that run when triggered by events such as webhooks, schedules, or manual actions. Each step performs an action, passes data forward, and contributes to a larger automated process.

Workflows can include AI-powered steps for tasks such as data summarization, extraction, and decision-making, and can embed mini AI agents that perform actions based on context.

Key Features

Multi-step workflow builder: Create workflows made up of multiple steps that pass data between actions in a structured way
Trigger-based automation: Start workflows using triggers such as webhooks, scheduled runs, or manual execution
Support for integrations with 100+ apps: Connect workflows to supported integrations to move data between tools
Built-in AI steps and mini AI agents inside workflows: Use AI steps for tasks such as data extraction, summarization, translation, and custom prompts, and embed mini AI agents that make decisions and invoke predefined actions within workflows
Human-in-the-loop capabilities: Insert approval steps so humans can review AI results within workflows
Cloud-hosted platform with no infrastructure to manage

Common Use Cases

•Automating tasks with AI assistance, including workflows that embed mini AI agents
•Connecting apps, APIs, and services to move and transform data automatically
•Running backend workflows triggered by events, schedules, or webhooks

Who It's For

Relay.app is a good fit for individuals and teams who want to automate work using visual workflows, especially when combining business apps, triggers, and AI features-without building everything from scratch.

How It Works
