Core Features

Grounded in your business rules.

RelayU isn't a general chatbot. It only answers questions using the specific details you upload, in your own friendly voice.

No Guessing, Only Facts

RelayU reads directly from the prices, hours, and questions you save. If a customer asks a question you haven't written an answer for, the assistant politely offers to contact you instead of making things up.

Hands Off to You

If a customer complains, asks to talk to a real person, or asks something complex, RelayU automatically pauses its replies and alerts you right away on your phone so you can take over.

Protects Your Account

Instagram limits automated replies to 24 hours of client activity. RelayU automatically keeps track of these limits and flags the chat for your manual attention when the time window runs out.

Spam Prevention Safeguards

To keep your business page safe from being flagged as a bot, RelayU spaces out replies naturally. It behaves exactly like a human typing on their phone, staying within Instagram rules.

Simple Workflow

How RelayU works for you.

We manage the connection safely in the background to respond in seconds, keeping your customer conversations smooth.

Success Stories

Loved by neighborhood business owners.

RelayU gives busy owners their time back while securing bookings automatically.

“Before RelayU, I was responding to DMs between steaming milk and ringing up customers. Now the assistant handles questions about prices and GF options while I focus on the coffee.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How does the AI know my prices and hours?
During setup, you enter your business rules, prices, operating hours, and booking links. RelayU saves this information and uses it as the absolute instructions for the assistant. The AI will never invent prices or promise open hours that you haven't approved.
What is the 24-hour reply window?
Instagram guidelines limit automated replies to 24 hours after a customer last messaged you. If a customer messages you after a long period of inactivity, RelayU automatically pauses replies and flags it for your manual attention so you stay compliant with platform guidelines.
What happens if a customer asks a complex question?
RelayU automatically scans message content for questions about membership cancellations, complaints, or phrases like "can I talk to a human". The moment it detects these, the assistant silences itself and triggers a notification directly to your phone so you can type a manual reply.
Do I need a Facebook page to connect my Instagram?
Yes. Meta requires Instagram Business accounts to be connected to a Facebook page to grant API access. During sign-up, you will securely link with Facebook, select your business page, and connect your Instagram profile in a few clicks.
How secure is my Instagram connection?
Your connection credentials are saved with secure bank-grade encryption in our database. You can disconnect your page and wipe your data from our servers at any time by clicking "Disconnect" in your settings or removing the app permissions from your Instagram control panel.
