AVENU Launches Relai 3 App

AVENU Launches Custom Relai 3 App to Power Onsite Exchange

AVENU Workspaces has officially launched its own Relai 3 app, bringing asynchronous access and shared infrastructure directly into its Pittsburgh coworking space.

A Platform for Coworking Collaboration

The new app is designed for members of AVENU, a community of founders, builders, and researchers working near some of Pittsburgh’s top universities and innovation hubs. With the app, AVENU members can now store, share, or retrieve items securely on their own time using onsite Exchange Zones.

This launch marks a step forward in how coworking spaces can support community-driven logistics. By embedding Relai’s infrastructure into its daily operations, AVENU is creating new ways for its members to collaborate, move resources, and support each other without relying on overlapping schedules or physical handoffs.

Why Relai 3?

“Coworking is not just about shared space. It’s about shared systems,” said Miles Mufuka Martin, Co-Founder & CEO of Relai. “AVENU understood that from the beginning and saw how asynchronous access could make physical collaboration easier, not harder. This is exactly the kind of partner Relai 3 was built for.”

Relai 3 apps are designed to help communities deploy and manage Exchange Zones with their own branding, logic, and user flows. Each app runs on top of the same infrastructure as the Relai core network but can be customized to match the needs of a specific organization, venue, or member base.

How It Works

The AVENU app is live for iOS this August and the first Exchange Zone is already installed at their Meyran location. The vision is that members can access the Exchange Zone using the AVENU app to drop off shared equipment, retrieve materials from collaborators, or manage time-shifted exchanges that do not depend on in-person coordination.

The Bigger Picture

AVENU joins a growing group of organizations using Relai 3 to bring asynchronous access to innovation ecosystems, small businesses, mutual aid groups, and cultural institutions. The result is a quiet but powerful shift, where movement happens on people’s terms, not the clock’s.
