TRY THE IDEA BEFORE THE TOOL
One conversation.
One conversation.
Four reasons to care.
Explore an illustrative example from your perspective. No account needed.
Illustrative sample, not customer data. In Relay, the manager writes the feedback and the recipient chooses how to respond.
Keep the update small.
What moved forward? Where is help needed? The manager responds against shared expectations. Weekly, fortnightly, or every four weeks.
Carry the conversation forward.
Concerns need an example, a change to try, manager support, and a follow-up date. Reviews draw on shared history, with space for both perspectives.
The work has context.
So should the feedback.
For developers, attach a pull request, a Sight observation, or an agreed Compass priority with the excerpt you choose to share. For every other role, use the same clear expectations and conversation.
Relay works independently. It does not automatically import private Sight or Compass records, or turn code activity into an employee rating.
TRUST IS PART OF THE WORKFLOW
A record people
A record people
can understand.
Your draft stays yours.
Published conversations are visible to the recipient, their current primary management chain, and explicitly authorized People Ops readers. Directory administration and content access are separate.
Receipt and agreement stay separate.
Recipients can acknowledge receipt, ask for clarity, or record disagreement. Corrections publish a new version; the original stays in the history.
AI helps when you ask.
Optional writing help can clarify wording or draft a recap from selected shared records. People choose assessments and publish. Core workflows work without AI.

Will this work without developers, Sight, or Compass?
Yes. Relay has its own people directory, reporting relationships, review rhythm, and subscription. No repository connection is needed.
Does everyone need to join at once?
No. Add a small team, invite the manager and recipients, and activate recipients when both sides have accepted. CSV imports can be previewed; importing does not send invitations or activate recipients.
Can we use our existing company sign-in?
Relay supports email and password, Google, Microsoft, and configured enterprise SAML or OIDC. Connecting a provider to an existing account requires proof of that account once.
Will Relay guarantee there are no surprises?
A tool cannot guarantee that someone gives useful feedback. Relay makes expectations, missing responses, first-shared concerns, and follow-through visible so people have a better opportunity to address them.
