Hello Product Hunt! 👋 Jacob here, founder/CEO of Relay.app—the easiest-to-use Zapier alternative with a generous free plan. We’re all on the hunt to find actually useful ways to build AI into our work, and I firmly believe that the easiest way for most of us to do this is by incorporating AI into our repeated automations. Today, we’re introducing 3 new ways you can do so in Relay.app: 1️⃣ Built-in AI actions for common use cases like text summarization and data extraction from sources like emails, meeting notes, and websites. 2️⃣ A flexible ‘Custom Prompt’ step that lets you prompt any AI model and use the response as structured data in your workflow. 3️⃣ AI Mini Agents that are empowered to invoke custom actions on your behalf The best part? Our Human-in-the-Loop 🙋 steps let you insert checkpoints for approvals or inputs anywhere in your automations. You get all the benefits of AI-powered automation, but you keep the control and oversight you need to feel confident. Head over to Relay.app to get started! Jacob P.S. In addition to our generous free tier, reasonable use of GPT-4o is included for free in all our plans. You can also connect your own account to use any model you like from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Groq, or Perplexity.

@jebank liked the simplicity of the workflow, Jacob. Would love to try it out for my startup. Just curious to know, do you also have integration to forms data classification like Google forms, WP forms etc as well?
Thijs van As
@jebank @imraju we have integrations with Google Forms, Typeform, Tally, Jotform, Fillout, HubSpot Forms and other at the moment. WordPress forms not yet, but is on our roadmap! What workflow would you like to automate?

@jebank Big congrats on your launch! 🌟 What’s been the most rewarding part of the process so far? BTW asking my team to check this out, right now we use n8n

@kjosephabraham fun to see what people build with it!

Wow, this is a very thoughtful product, the way Relay leverages AI, but still allows human to be in control. Will definitely give this a try! Also love how the interface is very clean and easy to use. I guess technically, you can build out several AI agents who do different part of the jobs. For example, you can have different agents with different LLM to check each other's work or focus on specific tasks they are good at. Checked out the onboarding, and I think you should add PH to the "How did you hear about Relay.app?" drop down! Also just a thought, would it make sense to leverage reverse trial here? If the user is free to create tons of automations and invite their team members, I think they would be more likely to subscribe to paid tiers once their trial ends. Congrats @jebank and team!!
Jacob Bank
@tonyhanded good question. it is a reverse trial conceptually in that users in the free tier get access to all of the features and we haven't seen the 200 automation limit be a blocker to trying it out. but let's see!

We are huge fans of Relay.app @ GitStart. A lot of our workflows require having a human in the loop and Relay is perfect for that!! Great release @jebank !!! Really excited to try out the new mini agents 🔥🚀

Congrats on the launch today! We're huge fans of Relay :) What has surprised you seeing how people use these new AI features?
Thijs van As
@henry_scott_green Thank you! It's been incredible to see what people have done with these AI steps thus far. One customer prompted an AI model to generate JSON to use that with a custom HTTP request automation - blew my mind! 🤯

Congrats on the launch! Looking forward to trying this

Congratulations to @tvanas and the team on the launch! I really love not only the AI feature but also your mini-agents. I'm just curious if there is any possibility to expect a self-hosted version?
Tommy Barav
Love it! Congratulations on the launch. I'm a big fan of Relay.app and find it much more intuitive than Zapier. The human-in-the-loop interaction is genius, and I can't imagine using it without that feature.

As someone who works constantly with Make and Zapier, I can confidently say Relay is a game-changer. It's rare to find a tool that's both innovative and user-friendly, but Relay nails it. The interface is intuitive, making complex automations accessible even to newcomers. What impresses me most is how it pushes the boundaries of what's possible in automation, without sacrificing ease of use. We love Relay and are excited about the launch.
