Relay AI Startup Closes, Staff Join Google Chrome

Relay, a workflow‑automation platform aimed at businesses, announced that it will cease operations next month. The company’s CEO and a number of employees have indicated that they will transition to developing features for Google Chrome, suggesting a pivot toward browser‑based productivity tools.

Relay’s service enabled teams to automate repetitive tasks, integrate disparate software, and streamline internal processes. The decision to shut down follows a period of declining user growth and increasing competition from larger cloud‑automation providers. While the company has not disclosed specific financial details, it cited the need to reallocate resources to more promising ventures.

The transition to Google Chrome development is expected to allow former Relay staff to leverage the browser’s extensive developer ecosystem and user base. As the platform winds down, existing customers will be advised to migrate their workflows to alternative solutions, and the company will provide a final support window before the shutdown.
