Native by default
Relay is a desktop-native Rust app, not a browser wrapper around terminals. It works with the operating system instead of sitting between you and it.
An AI agent canvas for developers
Relay is the alternative for people who want native performance, remote workspaces, and no artificial ceiling on the projects they can keep in motion.
Why Relay
Relay is a desktop-native Rust app, not a browser wrapper around terminals. It works with the operating system instead of sitting between you and it.
Relay uses GPUI, the GPU-accelerated framework behind Zed, to give terminals, notes, and connections a responsive spatial surface.
Run the project and agents where the compute belongs, then keep the same visual orchestration surface in front of you.
Keep a workspace for every repository, client, experiment, and remote machine. Project context is not a metered resource.
Claude Code, Codex, Grok, OpenCode, and shell sessions stay real terminals—not abstract task cards.
Connect agents so they can ask, delegate, and return work through a graph that you can actually inspect.
A useful test
Start two agents, give each a role, connect them, and see whether you can understand the work without switching through tabs. Then repeat it on a remote project and across several workspaces. Relay keeps the agents as real terminal sessions while the canvas keeps the coordination visible and fast.
Built in public
Relay is built close to the people using it. Send a request directly to Miguel, or bring it to the Relay Discord channel so the community can help shape what comes next.
