👋 The Problem

You switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. You copy output from one, paste into the next. You lose context between sessions. You spend 30% of your time managing tools instead of building.

And when you have a conversation that matters — a system design, an architecture review — it's trapped in a single session. You can't branch it, merge it, or build on it later.

🎯 The Solution

RelayOS treats AI conversations like code. Fork, merge, and weave them together.

⚡ Quick Start

pip install relayos
relay

Opens the workspace. Type a task, press Enter.

No config required. RelayOS auto-detects your installed AI CLIs (claude, opencode, mimo, etc.) If none found, the setup wizard guides you.

One-liner tasks

relay "设计一个支付系统"        # Auto-routes to best workers
relay "Review this code"        # Detects intent automatically
relay "Explain Kubernetes"      # Single chat

Conversation branching

/fork              Branch current conversation
/merge id1 id2     Merge conversations together
/attach id         Import another session's context
/remember k: val   Save knowledge across sessions
