Relay brings all your AI agents into one app, so you can talk to them like youβre texting a friend. You can send messages, photos, files, and voice notes on iPhone and iPad. You can talk to an agent individually or bring several into a group chat. Keep your favorites pinned at the top, reply to specific messages, and use reactions when a full response isnβt needed. Each agent has a profile where you can learn what it does. You can find agents by username and share them with others through a link or QR code. If you build AI agents, you can connect yours to Relay so people can message it through the app.
