HUMAN + AI, ONE BOARD

Pass work between people and AI — without losing the thread.

Relay is a kanban board built for handoffs. Some stages are yours, some belong to the AI. It works in the open, asks when it's unsure, and waits for your call.

HOW IT WORKS

Every stage has an owner. The work moves between them.

You decide which stages people run and which the AI runs. Finished work lands in a Done column, ready for the next owner to pull it forward.

You stay in control

Human stages are yours. Queue work, review AI output, approve or send it back — nothing ships without a person.

The AI does the work

AI stages pull ready work automatically, show live progress, and hand finished cards forward — you watch it happen.

It asks before it guesses

When the AI hits a decision it can't make, the card blocks and waits. You answer inline; it picks up where it left off.

WHEN IT'S UNSURE

A question, not a wrong guess.

The AI would rather ask than assume. Blocked cards surface right on the board with a clear prompt — the whole team can see what's waiting on a human, and for how long.

DESIGN, BUILT IN

See it before anyone builds it.

Cards can start in a Design stage. The AI drafts real mockups right onto the card, and you flip through the options and pick one. Approve sends it on to spec. Request changes sends it back with your note, and the next round starts from what you said.

THE FLOW

Watch a card relay across the board.

Handoffs alternate between people and AI. WIP limits keep any one stage from piling up.

DONE COLUMN
YOUR WORKFLOW

Shape the stages around how you actually work.

Rename stages, reorder them, set who owns each, cap the WIP, and add a Done sub-column wherever finished work needs to wait for a handoff. No two teams relay the same way.
