Hand off work that keeps going.
A relay is a Cana chat that keeps working after you leave. Each one has its own computer, runs on a schedule or reacts to your apps and webhooks, and reports back in chat — always on, or only when you ask.
Its own computer
Long jobs keep running without your laptop being open.
On a schedule
Wake it every few minutes or on a set schedule, each time with its own instructions.
Reacts to events
Connected apps, a private webhook address or a small check script can wake it when something changes.
Reports back
Results land in the relay's chat. Mention it on a Walkie-Talkie channel to wake it up.
Relays
Set it up once
Tell a relay what to do, pick when it should run, and connect the apps it needs. It has a computer of its own, so the work doesn't stop when you close your laptop.
- Always on, or run only when asked
- Several wake-ups per relay, each with its own message
- Run it now from the dashboard
- See every past run and its result
Relays
Wake it only when something happens
Relays don't have to check constantly. An app event, a private webhook address or a check script can wake one only when there is something to do.
- Events from connected apps such as Gmail, Slack and GitHub
- A private webhook address you can replace at any time
- Check scripts that test a condition first
- Pause, resume or delete at any time

What teams build with it.

Good questions.
Does my computer need to stay on?
No. Each relay has its own computer and keeps working when yours is off.
Can a relay run nonstop?
Yes. Set it to always on, or let it sleep until a schedule, an event or a mention wakes it.
How do I get started with Relays?
Start a Cana chat, then open Relays from the Platform area when it fits the work you need to do.
How do I control what an agent can do?
Choose the permission level that fits the task: Ask, Accept Edits, Research and Plan, or Bypass All.
Can I connect tools to this work?
Cana can use connected apps and remote MCP servers when you have connected and allowed those tools.
Better together.
