# Relay > Relay puts a senior software engineer one press away from any AI build. > Builders working in tools like Claude, Cursor, and Lovable press a single > button mid-build, and a senior Relay engineer joins their session, staying > through launch and, if they want, after. Relay is the on-demand human layer for AI-built software. The product is a relationship: the same engineer who joins you in build is the one who launches you, and the one who keeps you running. Three phases, one team: Build Phase, Launch and Go-Live, Maintain and Scale. Sessions run on Zoom, recorded with consent, GDPR-aligned and built to enterprise compliance from day one. Relay TechnoForge, Inc. is a Delaware C-Corporation, with subsidiaries covering EU and engineering operations. Funded by The Asgard Fund, a growth-stage venture fund based in The Netherlands; a financial investor, no operational role. Operated with NINtec Systems (NSE/BSE: NINSYS), an NSE/BSE-listed Gateway Group company. 2,000+ engineers across 15+ countries on a follow-the-sun service model, 29 years of operational depth. ## Core pages - [Home](https://www.relay.green/): Hero, Why Relay exists, How we relay (3-phase plans), What Relay supports, Insights, CTA. - [How it works](https://www.relay.green/product): Build. Ship. Evolve. Built for every kind of builder. AI for speed, engineers for trust, the 6-frame walkthrough, modalities (chat, voice, screen share), Zoom-native sessions on the record, GDPR + SOC 2 posture. - [For Enterprise](https://www.relay.green/for-enterprise): Superpowers for every Non Technical AI builder in your team. RELAY ensures it works. Side-by-side hero: your team builds, automates, and creates with AI; when AI gets stuck or a build needs human judgment, a real engineer arrives in seconds. One press, one engineer, governed by default. Market signals, value propositions, architecture as an enablement layer, operational backbone (NINtec Systems, 2,000+ engineers, 15 countries, 24/7 follow-the-sun, 29 years). - [Resources](https://www.relay.green/resources): Articles, research, white papers, guides, and customer stories on the human layer behind AI-built software. - [Company / About](https://www.relay.green/company/about): Built to stay. By design. Relay is built around continuity: the same engineer joins your session in build, leads your launch, and stays on for what comes after, backed by 29 years of operational depth across fifteen-plus countries.
