Relay.app

Relay.app was a workflow automation platform built around the idea of keeping humans in the loop. Businesses used it to automate repetitive work with AI while reserving certain steps — approvals, reviews, decisions — for people. The service shut down in September 2026. According to the notice now posted on its homepage, all accounts, workflows, and run history have been permanently deleted.

The shutdown notice is brief. It thanks users for building with the platform, confirms that nothing remains of their data, and points to a July 2026 snapshot of the homepage preserved on the Internet Archive for anyone who wants to see what the product looked like. No successor product, migration path, or export option is mentioned.

Because the site now consists only of that notice, specifics about Relay.app's features, pricing, and integrations are no longer available from the source. What can be said comes from the tagline and summary the company left behind: it was automation software for businesses, it used AI, and it was designed so people could step into workflows where judgment was needed. That human-in-the-loop approach set it apart from fully hands-off automation tools, which is also worth weighing when choosing a replacement.

Before it shut down, Relay.app was best suited to:

• Business teams that wanted a person to approve or review an automation before it continued
• Operations work where some steps ran automatically but final sign-off stayed human
• Companies experimenting with AI-assisted workflows without removing people from the process
• Users who preferred configuring automations over writing custom code
