How Relay works

One press. One engineer.
From stuck to shipping in seconds.

Here’s exactly what happens when you press the green button, and why it’s the fastest way to turn an AI build session into shipped software.

The core mechanic

Press. Match. Join. Ship.

1

You press the green button

You’re in Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, v0, Bolt, wherever you build with AI. You hit a wall: a deployment error, a CORS issue, a database design question. You don’t post on Discord and wait. You press .

We match you with the right engineer

Relay reads your stack context, what AI tool you’re using, what framework, what infrastructure. In under 3 minutes, we route you to a qualified human engineer who knows your exact stack. A real engineer with production experience on the tools you’re using.

Engineer joins your session

They appear in your Relay session, chat, voice, or screen share. They can see your code, your error messages, your architecture. They don’t need 20 minutes of context. They jump straight in because Relay pre-loads your stack and build state. You’re coding again in under a minute.

Ship it, and they stay with you

The fix is in. The feature works. You deploy. Here’s what’s different from every other help model: the same engineer stays connected to your project. They remember your stack, your preferences, your architecture. Next time you press the dot, it’s the same person, no re-explaining, no context loss.

The Relay model

Three phases. One engineer.
All the way from build to scale.

Relay isn’t a one-and-done help desk. It’s an engineering relationship that follows your product from idea to production, with the same person who knows your code.

Phase 1

Build

On-demand sessions while your AI takes a build from concept to MVP. Every time you’re stuck, a bug, a config issue, a design decision, one press gets you unstuck.

  • Pay-per-session or bundled credits
  • Same engineer assigned to your project
  • Avg. session: 25 minutes to resolution
From $49/session
Phase 2

Launch

When your MVP is ready and you need to go live, your engineer takes over the production-readiness work. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, predictable outcome.

  • CI/CD, auth, monitoring, error handling
  • Security audit & compliance checklist
  • Fixed scope with clear deliverable gates
From $2,500/launch
Phase 3

Maintain

Your product is live. Your engineer stays on a monthly retainer, monitoring, patching, iterating. They know the codebase better than anyone.

  • Monthly retainer with SLA guarantees
  • Proactive monitoring & incident response
  • Feature iteration without context loss
From $1,200/mo
Inside a session

Your build session, with a real engineer in it.

Here’s what the Relay session looks like. It’s deliberately minimal, one pane for your code, one pane for your engineer. No clutter, no project-management theater. Just a human and a problem.

  • Your AI tool stays open, Relay runs alongside it
  • Engineer can see your screen (with your permission)
  • Every session is logged, who joined, what was discussed, what was resolved
  • Session ends when the problem is solved, no clock-watching

Built to trust

AI for speed. Engineers for trust.

Relay stays with you. Same engineer in build, launch, and maintenance, continuity is the whole company.

Always awake

Engineers across time zones, so help is available whenever you press the dot.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 aligned, GDPR aware. Data residency where it matters.

Engineer continuity

Same engineer from first commit to fifth iteration. Context that compounds. Trust that deepens over time.
