Beagle vs Relay.
Relay adds approvals to automations you build. Beagle starts as a teammate - it reads the channel, decides what is worth your time, and the approval is just a nod in chat.
Side by side.
Relay is an AI workflow tool. Workflow automation with human-in-the-loop approval steps. Here is where the two part ways.
| Relay | Beagle | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | A web app. | Slack and Microsoft Teams, as a teammate. |
| Reads your channels | Your connected apps. | Every channel it is invited to, scoped to what each teammate can see. |
| Takes initiative | Workflows you assemble. | Pipes up unprompted when something needs you. |
| Acts across your tools | Across many apps. | Drafts and does the work across ~2,700 connected apps. |
| Learns your team | Set up per workflow. | Remembers your tone, your people and what you decided. |
| Asks before acting | Approval steps you add. | Always waits for your nod before anything goes out. |
| Pricing | Per credit. | Free to start - 1,000 credits, no card. $49/mo adds 5,000 monthly. |
Where Beagle fits.
The shape of work Relay was not built for.
Lives where you talk
Beagle is a teammate in Slack and Microsoft Teams, not a tab you switch to. It reads the channels it is invited to and answers in the thread.
Does the work, not just the talk
It drafts the reply, updates the record and chases the action item across ~2,700 tools - then waits for your nod before anything goes out.
Learns your team
Correct it once and it remembers. Over time it knows your tone, your accounts and your decisions - the part Relay leaves to you.
