AI-native background jobs

Infrastructure That Thinks

Relay classifies, routes, retries, and explains your background jobs automatically — describe what you need in plain English, or queue it the usual way.

import { Relay } from "@relay/sdk";const relay = new Relay({ apiKey: process.env.RELAY_API_KEY! });// Describe the job - Relay classifies it and routes it to a queue.const job = await relay.run("Send welcome email to user@email.com");

Everything is decided for you

Relay handles the operational decisions most job queues leave to you.

AI job classification

Describe a job in plain English and Relay classifies it and routes it to the right queue — no manual wiring.

Retries with backoff

Failed jobs retry automatically with exponential backoff, so transient failures don't need a human.

Failure analysis

Recurring errors are grouped into patterns, with a suggested fix and a confidence score. You decide what to apply.

Failure predictions

Relay estimates failure probability and expected duration per job type from your real run history.

Queue controls

Set concurrency per queue, and pause or resume a queue at any time.

Workers, logs and webhooks

Track worker heartbeats, browse job logs, receive webhooks on job events, and manage API keys from the dashboard.

How it works

Send a job via the SDK

Call relay.run() with a plain-English description, or create a job directly on a queue with relay.jobs.create().

AI classifies and routes it

Relay works out what kind of job it is and places it on the right queue automatically.

Relay runs, retries, and explains failures

Workers execute the job with retries and backoff. When something keeps failing, AI analysis points to the likely cause.

Operate your queues by chatting

Ask the AI agent about your jobs, queues, and workers. For anything destructive, it asks first — nothing runs until you click Approve or Reject.

Pause the emails queue

This action needs your confirmation before I run it.

ApproveReject

Chain jobs into workflows

Define ordered steps across your queues, run them on demand, and follow each run from the dashboard or the SDK.
