AI-first customer service with a natively integrated AI agent
An AI agent trained specifically for customer service that resolves routine and increasingly complex multi-step queries across every channel.
Chat, email, phone, and messaging conversations arrive in one shared inbox with ticketing built for collaboration across teams.
An assistant that proactively surfaces context from connected systems and handles admin work without leaving the conversation view.
Centralize and measure the content behind AI and self-serve support, with suggestions on what to fix and one-click actions.
Fast, low-cost inference for open-weight language models
No subscription or minimum commitment — you are billed only for the input, cached input and output tokens you consume.
Reusing a cached prefix costs a fraction of the standard input price, which lowers cost for repetitive or agentic workloads.
Serve popular open models such as DeepSeek, Kimi and GLM families through one consistent endpoint.
Optimized scheduling and GPU utilization help Relace rank among the top providers by daily token volume on OpenRouter.
