Relay launches with $20M raised from Google, Point72 and Reddit's founder to turn a brand's website into a full content operation.
- Drop in a website; AI builds a content library from the brand's own assets
- Distribution to a network of 50,000 real US creators posting to their TikTok accounts
- Tracks which hooks and formats actually get watched; winning assets belong to the brand for reuse anywhere
Commentators see a playbook for solo operators: onboard a local business with zero content, show them real hook performance data, then get paid to scale the winners — a sign of AI-native influencer marketing infrastructure.
