What is Relay.app?
Relay.app is a workflow automation platform designed around two ideas competitors treat as afterthoughts: AI steps and human involvement. Workflows can call AI to draft, extract, classify, or summarize, and then route the result to a person for approval, edits, or a data hand-off before continuing — making it safe to automate customer-facing and judgment-heavy processes. The builder is clean and approachable, with first-class integrations for Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and other team staples. A free tier makes it easy to start, and per-user pricing stays modest compared with credit-hungry AI automation platforms.

FAQ

Is Relay.app free?

Yes — the free plan includes monthly automated steps and AI credits for small workflows. Paid plans start at around $9 per user per month with higher step and AI allowances.

What does human-in-the-loop mean in Relay.app?

Workflows can pause for a person to approve, reject, edit AI output, or supply missing data before the run continues — useful whenever automation touches customers or important records.

How does Relay.app compare to Zapier?

Zapier has a vastly larger integration catalog; Relay.app counters with built-in AI steps, native approvals, and team-oriented design. For AI-assisted processes with human oversight, Relay is purpose-built.
