╚═╝ ╚═╝╚══════╝╚══════╝╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝Your AI coding agents are about to hit their limits. Relay keeps them going.
The handoff protocol for AI coding agents: a signed, portable contract that carries intent, plan, and in-flight code from one agent to the next.
Relay detects the Claude Code / Codex / Copilot / Cursor / Cline / Antigravity sessions already running on your machine, reads what each one is doing, and hands the work to a fresh agent, account, or provider before any of them runs out of quota. One subscription dies, the task lives on another.
Vendor-neutral. Works across Claude, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, Ollama, Copilot, Continue, Cline, Cursor.

60-second quickstart
Prerequisites: git, plus at least one AI agent CLI installed and authenticated (for example npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code then claude login).

Grab an installer from the latest release: .exe for Windows, .dmg for macOS, .AppImage for Linux. The daemon ships inside, so nothing else is needed. Installers are unsigned for now, so first launch trips SmartScreen and Gatekeeper.
