BYOBot

Design Relay.app workflows that keep humans in the loop

Relay.app is built for workflows that need a human touch: approvals, reviews, collaborative handoffs, and AI assistance at the right moments. But designing those workflows: deciding where to add a human step, how to structure the AI assistance, and what the handoff looks like: still takes careful thought. BYOBot designs the workflow logic so you can build confidently.

Describe the workflow you want to automate: we'll build you a step-by-step spec you can run today.

How BYOBot works

Build a bot to design your Relay.app flows

Describe the process you want to automate: what triggers it, which steps should be automated, where a human review or approval is needed, and what the final output is, and BYOBot produces a Relay.app workflow design.

1
Describe the process and where humans belong

Tell BYOBot what the workflow is for, what triggers it, which steps are purely mechanical (and can be automated), which steps need human judgment or approval, how handoffs between team members should work, and what the final output or action looks like.

2
We map it to an automation

BYOBot turns your description into your portable agent: a prompt for any AI chat tool, a browser agent that drives Relay.app for you, and a full pipeline spec ready for a developer.

3
AI takes over your Relay.app workflow

You get a ready-to-use automation spec. Start in a chat tool to test the logic, go hands-free with a browser agent, or hand the pipeline spec to a developer to deploy.

How it works

Your Relay.app workflow in one portable agent

In your AI chat tool
Ready-to-use prompts for any AI chat tool

BYOBot produces an AI chat tool prompt that designs your Relay.app workflow: trigger, automated steps, human review steps (with instructions for what the reviewer should check), AI assistance steps, integration actions, and conditional paths. A complete blueprint before you open Relay.

Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any LLM: free to start
In a browser agent
browser agent drives Relay.app for you

The browser agent navigates your Relay.app account through Chrome: creating a new workflow, adding the steps in sequence, configuring automation actions, inserting human review steps with instructions, and connecting integrations: building the workflow so you can test and activate it.

Works with any AI browser agent tool
In your stack
A full blueprint for unattended automation

Produces a detailed Relay.app workflow specification: trigger configuration, automated step actions, human step review instructions and assignees, AI step prompts and output usage, conditional branching, integration connections, and notification settings. Ready to implement without design guesswork.

Connects to Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom APIs

Is BYOBot worth it?

What you get that an LLM alone won't give you

✦ Portable
Download it, use it with any browser-capable AI

A chat answer dies in the thread. Your agent is a file you own: run it in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, drop it into a browser agent, or hand it to your stack, as many times as you like.

✦ Conversational
Training your AI agent is super easy

No prompt engineering degree required. Describe what you do, the tabs you open, the data you move, and BYOBot asks the questions that turn your knowledge into the spec.

✦ Tested
Custom QA milestones in every agent

Every build ships with smoke tests and pass, warn, and fail checks for each step. You'll know it ran right, not just that it ran.

What you get

Automation that knows when to ask a human

Most automation tools treat human involvement as a failure state: something to minimize or eliminate. Relay.app treats it as a feature: some steps benefit from a human eye, and great workflow design puts humans exactly where they add value and automates everything else. BYOBot helps design that balance.

The build gives you a complete Relay.app workflow design: automated steps, human review steps with clear review instructions, AI assistance steps with prompt guidance, and handoff logic between team members. A blueprint that makes the Relay builder straightforward to use.

The hands-free version deploys a browser agent that opens your Relay.app account, creates the workflow, adds each step in sequence, configures automations, inserts human review checkpoints with instructions, and connects the required integrations: delivering a complete, testable workflow draft.

The pipeline spec provides a specification detailed enough for any Relay.app user to implement precisely: step types and configurations, AI step prompts, human step reviewer assignments and instructions, conditional branching logic, integration action settings, and notification routing. Human-in-the-loop automation designed right from the start.

Got questions

Frequently Asked

The most common are content approval pipelines (AI drafts content, human reviews and approves before it publishes), proposal workflows (template auto-populates from CRM data, sales rep reviews, manager approves, contract sends), onboarding checklists (automated steps handle tool access and data setup, human steps handle introductions and culture orientation), report sign-off flows (AI generates report from data, manager reviews, approved version distributes automatically), and hiring workflows (application triggers screening, recruiter reviews shortlist, interview scheduling automates, offer letter requires HR approval). Any process with a mix of automatable steps and judgment-required steps is a fit.
During the conversation, BYOBot asks you about each step's characteristics: Is the output deterministic given the inputs? Does it require judgment about context, tone, or consequences? Is it high-stakes enough that an error would be costly? Steps that are deterministic and low-stakes are flagged for automation; steps requiring judgment or carrying significant consequences are flagged for human review. You review and adjust the design before building.
Yes: Relay.app is specifically designed for non-technical operators. It has no code requirement, and its human-step interface is intuitive enough for any team member to act on. BYOBot's workflow design makes the implementation straightforward even for Relay.app first-timers, since the blueprint specifies exactly what each step should do.
Make.com and Zapier are optimized for fully automated pipelines with no human steps. Relay.app is optimized for workflows where human involvement is intentional and frequent. If your process has approval steps, review gates, or collaborative handoffs, Relay.app handles those natively in ways that Make.com and Zapier require awkward workarounds to replicate. BYOBot designs for the right tool based on how much human involvement your process requires.

The best automations know when to stop and ask a human. Describe your process and BYOBot designs where that line is.
