Hello Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Jacob, and I’m the Founder & CEO of Relay.app – a workflow automation tool (like Zapier) that goes beyond triggers and actions. By combining one-click AI assistance, human-in-the-loop collaboration, and a robust multiplayer experience, Relay can automate more of your work than any other tool.
Relay does three things that other automation tools don’t do:
🪄 One-click AI assistance anywhere — Leverage the power of AI directly in your playbooks with just one click. Summarize meeting notes, suggest content in a message, extract information from an email, and much more. No need to write complex prompts or bring your own ChatGPT account – AI is built-in everywhere you might need it.
👩🏼💻 Human-in-the-Loop collaboration — Some workflows shouldn’t be 100% automated – they require the unique judgment or insight of a real person. Relay makes it easy to involve your team to approve critical automations before they run, review the work of AI, or add a personal touch to messages.
🤝 Multiplayer from the ground up — Many of the trickiest workflows require collaborations across teams that use different tools. Relay makes it easy to build playbooks together and use roles to dynamically assign tasks and actions to roles on different teams.
Our founding team worked together at Google, where we led product, design, and engineering for Gmail and Google Calendar. We decided to start Relay for two reasons. First, we were frustrated by the number of different tools we needed to use to get our work done and by how poorly those tools worked with each other. Second, we were excited about the opportunity to combine advances in AI with an elegant human-in-the-loop user experience to solve this problem in a new way.
Relay integrates with all of the tools you use and allows you to automate workflows across all of them. As a result, Relay can be used for a wide range of use cases across sales, support, marketing, customer success, operations, and more.
We’re so excited to be launching on Product Hunt today so that we can bring Relay to everyone!
We have a generous free plan that should be enough for many of you, but to celebrate our launch today we’re giving away 3 months of our Standard-tier unlimited usage plan for free by signing up at relay.app/ph23. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Looks nice nice! Specially that part where you need to jump in for manual action. Like you said, some things requires manual input.
Your platform presents a fresh take on workflow automation.
Kudos on the launch, the idea is very creative!
On another note, I’m thrilled to share about our new venture, anchors.in https://go.anchors.in/eOml, a platform for everyone who hosts events & tired of juggling multiple tools. It enables 50% more conversions with 70% less effort. Your feedback on our recent launch on Product Hunt would be invaluable in honing our offering. Let’s inspire each other!
Congratulations! Has your problem been solved by implementing the steps that you followed?
Congrats on the launch!
As someone who uses a variety of tools daily, I'm always up for integration.
Which platforms does Relay currently support, and are there plans to expand the list in the future?
I am a fan of Zapier, but definitively see a lot of potential for improvements in the 3 areas that Jacob Bank has highlighed.
Really impressive @jebank; it’s about time there’s a new player in the automation space. Love how there’s prioritization of human involvement in the flows; that’s something that’s stopped us from adopting similar tools in the past just given the niche nature of some of the projects we work on.
Excited to see how things progress with the tool!
Congrats @jebank and team on the launch! I'm impressed with the AI assistance and appreciate a good deal of integrations you've planned for the launch. We're eager to test out the Asana triggers. All the best!
Congratulations @jebank and the team on the launch!! So excited to try this app out.
Congrats on launch !
I usually use zapier for workflow automation but let me try this!
I love how it combines AI assistance, human collaboration, and multiplayer features. It's cool that you can use AI to summarize meeting notes or suggest content with just one click.
Congrats to the whole Relay team! It's amazing the depth of integrations you guys already have and the amount of customization you can make to each workflow. Definitely way better than Zapier for complex B2B workflows but without needing to write and maintain custom code!
