How It Works

A guided start. Your team stays in control.

Connect the inbox your agency already runs on, let Relay prepare the work, and approve everything. Start with one workflow and expand when it is earning its keep.

The setup

Three steps. No servers, no scripts, no IT tickets.

Relay runs in the cloud and connects to the inbox your team already uses. Here is the whole setup.

Relay prepares the work.

Every email is read, tagged, and assigned as it lands. Documents become useful data with the source attached. A person approves everything before it leaves the agency.

Start with one workflow. Expand.

Pick the workflow that hurts most and get it working first. Add the next one when the first is earning its keep, not before.

Start with one workflow

Most agencies start with one of these three.

Each one is configured around the tools your team already uses. When the first workflow is working, the next one is a conversation, not a project.

Nothing slips through the cracks.

Everything is connected, so Relay knows what is due, what is stuck, and what needs a person today. The urgent work floats to the top on its own.

03

An agent that knows your agency.

Ask for a draft, a document, or an answer. Relay knows your clients and policies, and it responds with the source attached.

Quoting is different: it touches carrier portals, so it runs as a Research Preview with its own review. How the AI Quoting Preview works.

What day one actually looks like

No big-bang go-live. A first workflow that works.

Day 1

Assisted setup

We connect your inbox with you, not for you. Scoped access, nothing installed, no IT ticket. You see what Relay can read before it reads anything.

Week 1

Human review built in

Relay tags, prioritizes, and drafts. Your team reviews the sources, decides, and sends. Nothing leaves the agency without a person approving it.

Day 30

The guarantee

Put Relay on your inbox for 30 days. If it does not earn its keep, we refund you. No fine print.

FAQ

Got questions? We have clear answers.

Is this another portal I have to learn?+

Relay is a shared workspace, but it is designed around the inbox, documents, and handoffs your team already uses. Your AMS remains in place, and guided setup keeps the first workflow focused.

What happens when a carrier changes their portal?+

AI Quoting Preview workflows are monitored and maintained for the carrier, line, and state combinations configured for your agency. If a portal change needs review, Relay flags the workflow rather than making an unsupported submission.

Can I trust AI with my quoting?+

Every quote goes through validation checks and lands in your team's queue for review. Nothing is submitted to a carrier without human approval. Automation handles the data entry. Your team handles the decisions.

What AMS systems do you support?+

Relay works alongside familiar systems such as Applied Epic, HawkSoft, EZLynx, AMS360, NowCerts, QQ Catalyst, and AgencyZoom. General two-way AMS synchronization is not currently offered; custom links are evaluated as pilots.

Do I need to give you my carrier portal passwords?+

Only if you apply for the AI Quoting Preview. Credentials are stored with AES-256 encryption and accessed only by the automation system, never by humans.

Which email systems can I connect?+

Microsoft 365 and Outlook are available with guided setup and scoped access. Gmail and Google Workspace are in private preview.

Can I start with just one workflow?+

Absolutely. Most agencies start with Relay on the inbox and expand from there.

What if the automation makes an error?+

Every run includes validation checks. Low-confidence details are flagged for human review before anything is sent or submitted.

How fast can we get started?+

Setup is assisted and starts with your inbox. Timing depends on your team and systems, and most agencies are reviewing prepared work in the first week. AI Quoting requires a separate carrier-mix and workflow review.

Is there a long-term contract?+

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. And if Relay does not earn its keep in the first 30 days, we refund you.
