This AI Automation Saves Hours of HR Work | Thijs from Relay.app
This Google veteran aimed to make AI accessible enough for HR teams in India to use on a daily basis.
In this episode of The CuHRious Show, I sit down with Thijs, Head of Product at Relay.app, who spent nearly a decade building tools like Gmail and Google Flights before moving on to Booking.com and now Relay.app.
We talk about how his journey from big tech to startups shaped his mission to make AI agents easy, practical, and hands-on for knowledge workers. Thijs shows how Relay can take away the boring, repetitive HR tasks (like invoice tracking, candidate qualification, and meeting follow-ups) so teams can focus on real people work.
It’s a conversation packed with real-world AI automation, HR tech insights, and productivity hacks straight from someone who’s shaping the future of work.
