Relay.app

Relay.app is a workflow platform that integrates AI agents for extraction and summarization while maintaining deterministic, human-in-the-loop business processes.

Relay.app represents the modern evolution of Zapier. It recognizes that businesses want AI to do the heavy lifting (extraction, drafting), but still require deterministic workflows and human approval before hitting "send." It is a smart, approachable platform for AI-assisted operations.

What is Relay.app?

Relay.app is a modern visual workflow automation platform that heavily emphasizes AI. It supports 200+ apps and provides triggers, actions, AI steps (search, research, summarize), custom HTTP requests, and native human-in-the-loop review steps.

Who is it best for?

It is highly effective for teams that want AI to draft responses, extract data from documents, or research leads, but who want a human to click "Approve" before the final action is executed.

Who should avoid it?

It is not built for massive-scale enterprise legacy integration (e.g., AS400, SAP on-prem). Its enterprise governance documentation is lighter than established iPaaS giants.
