What is Relay?
The workspace, network, and platform for useful remembering
Relay helps people-heavy organizations remember, organize, and act on the relationships that matter. It combines a flexible workspace, a public network, and a composable platform connected by Atlas search and publishing.
Product shape
A workspace, a network, and a platform
Relay is built around a simple idea: everything useful can become an entity, and every entity can move through the same search, publishing, care, and automation surfaces.
Workspace
Notes, tasks, canvases, videos, people, journeys, and groups in one composable place.
Network
Public organizations, profiles, publishing, discovery, and matching across Relay.
Platform
Entity types, widgets, API, MCP, and a future open engine for custom clients.
Search the web, your workspace, and public Relay knowledge from the same surface.
Save useful discoveries as private or organizational entities instead of scattered tabs.
Publish profiles, directories, notes, videos, and livestreams back into the network.
Workspace
Organize the people, work, media, and links you actually care about
Relay gives you Notion-like flexibility, but the primitives are relationship-aware: people, groups, journeys, tasks, videos, links, forms, notes, livestreams, and canvases all share one underlying entity model.
Canvas-first organization
Arrange relationship work visually when lists are too flat.
Tasks next to people
Keep follow-ups and todos attached to the relationships that caused them.
Media, notes, and links
Save useful videos, articles, documents, and reflections into the same workspace.
Atlas
Search and publish through the same engine
Atlas is the center of the Relay logo because it connects the private workspace, the public network, and the platform layer. Search, enrich, save, and publish without copying context between tools.
Search beyond your own workspace
Find web results, public Relay content, videos, people, and organizations from one place.
Save discoveries
Turn a useful web result into a Relay entity so it can join tasks, notes, groups, and canvases.
Publish back out
Profiles, directories, notes, videos, and livestreams can become public Relay surfaces.
Platform
A headless productivity engine, not just another app
Relay already exposes API and MCP surfaces for agents and integrations. The long-term direction is an open, composable engine where specialized teams can bring their own client, widget, or workflow.
Entity type system
New verticals start as type configuration, not one-off tables and pages.
Composable widgets
Render the same entity set as a board, feed, canvas, table, media surface, or future custom widget.
Agent-ready
MCP and API endpoints let trusted agents search, create, update, and compose Relay data.
Who it serves
Relay bends toward people-heavy work
The same primitives feel different for each audience: pastoral care, campus follow-up, school mentorship, student research, and church media operations all become composable relationship work.
