Relay is shutting down. Here's how to keep your workflows running.

Relay.app is winding down paid plans on September 14. If you've built workflows there and you're wondering what to do next, this guide walks through how to move them to CodeWords — your existing descriptions do most of the work.

TL;DR

• Your Relay descriptions become your build prompts. The plain English you wrote to set up Relay workflows is exactly what you paste into CodeWords.
• Most workflows come back in minutes. Paste your description, Cody builds it, you go live.
• Approval steps move with you. Cody keeps humans in the loop the same way Relay did — pause, review, continue.

What made Relay worth using

Relay got one thing right: you could describe what you wanted in plain English, and the tool handled the logic. You could say "when a new lead comes in, enrich it and draft a reply, but let me approve before it sends" — and that was your workflow.

That's the same approach CodeWords takes. You describe a workflow to Cody, our AI builder, and it maps your tools, writes the logic, and deploys the agent from one conversation. You review, adjust, and approve.

What to look for in an alternative

Most automation tools will ask you to rebuild your workflows from scratch — drag the blocks, wire the connections, map the data. If you'd rather spend that time on something else, it's worth looking for something closer to how Relay worked.

The thing that made Relay feel different was the describe-first approach. You articulated the goal, and the tool did the implementation. When you're evaluating alternatives, that's the thing worth holding onto: can you describe what you want and get a working result, or does the tool hand the implementation back to you?

CodeWords is built around that same principle. You describe, Cody builds. When something changes, you describe what changed.

How to move your Relay workflows in an afternoon

Step 1: Export your Relay data

Pull your workflows, run history, and tables while your account is still live. Paid Relay plans close September 14, so keep an eye on the timeline.

Step 2: Paste your descriptions to Cody

The plain English you wrote in Relay is your build prompt. Open a new conversation with Cody, paste the description of what your workflow was supposed to do, and Cody builds it. Most workflows come back in minutes.

Step 3: Go live

Reconnect your apps, add any approval steps you need, and switch it on. It runs on a schedule or a trigger, the same as before.

What CodeWords does

Describe, get a working agent. Plain English in, deployed workflow out. You articulate the goal; Cody handles the implementation.

Humans stay in the loop. Keep the approval steps you relied on in Relay. Cody pauses, waits for your sign-off, then continues.

Self-maintaining. When something changes, you describe what changed. Cody handles the rest.

Pricing

Common questions

Can I bring my Relay workflows? Yes. The plain English descriptions you wrote in Relay become your build prompts in CodeWords. You're picking up where you left off, not starting again.

How long does it take? Many workflows rebuild in minutes. A full setup with multiple agents typically takes an afternoon.

Does it require technical knowledge? CodeWords is built for people who describe what they want, and Cody handles the rest. You work in plain English throughout.

What happens to approval steps? They run right inside the workflow. Cody pauses, waits for your sign-off, then continues — the same pattern as Relay.
