For schools
Relationship-aware workflows for teachers, advisors, students, and alumni
Relay helps schools organize people, courses, mentorship, resources, and public knowledge with a flexible entity system instead of disconnected spreadsheets.
Dogfooded proof
One workspace can hold students, tasks, projects, videos, and links
The dogfood canvas proves the core platform idea: people and non-person entities can share the same workspace and interaction model.
Courses and cohorts
Represent classes, cohorts, resources, projects, and advising groups as first-class entities.
Student pathways
Track progress through onboarding, advising, mentorship, applications, or project milestones.
Mentor networks
Build toward matching students with mentors, alumni, teachers, and practical opportunities.
Use cases
School use cases
Relay fits schools that care about people, not just assignments and records.
Resource libraries
Collect readings, videos, tools, and notes into public or private collections.
Advising and mentoring
Keep advisor notes, student goals, next actions, and alumni relationships in one context.
Custom views
Use entity types and widgets to create workflows for the school instead of forcing everyone into one app shape.
Playbook
A school relationship loop
The same Relay primitives can support a teacher, advisor, department, or alumni office.
Model
Define the people, cohorts, courses, and resources that matter.
Collect
Save notes, links, videos, forms, and project work as entities.
Guide
Use journeys and tasks to move students through next steps.
Connect
Build mentor and alumni relationships around actual student needs.
Capacity
Relay is built for the relationships you cannot afford to forget
Dunbar's number is useful as a starting map, but Relay uses Circles as something you can correct: closeness, urgency, and cadence stay separate.
Circles
Dunbar, made correctable
Relay treats relational capacity as a living map, not a hard ceiling. You can correct the circles, then Relay uses that context to decide who needs attention.
Closeness
Who belongs in which relational layer.
Urgency
Who needs action, prayer, help, or follow-up now.
Cadence
How often each relationship deserves a real touchpoint.
Give school relationships a system that can grow with them
Relay starts as a shared workspace and grows into a network and platform for your school community.
