Why I built Relia.
The story behind how a late-night broken auth bug sparked the vision for an autonomous, self-healing software engine.

Founder, Relia
Every founder knows this exact feeling.
You’ve been grinding for weeks. You finally push that massive update, test it thoroughly, and it works perfectly on your machine. You step away from your desk to take a breath, and then... ping.
[ ACTUAL USER MESSAGE RECEIVED AFTER PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT ]
My stomach dropped when I received that message.
It wasn't just the frustration of a broken Google OAuth redirect. It was the crushing realization of the silent majority. For the 1 user who cared enough to send a message, how many others simply closed the tab, bounced, and never came back?
Especially now, when we use AI to ship products at breakneck speed, edge-case logic bugs slip through faster than ever. As technical founders, we want to focus on building new capabilities, not constantly playing live whack-a-mole with production errors.
What if software could fix itself?
“That night, staring at that message, I kept thinking: What if the system could just fix itself?”
What if, the moment that very first user hit the OAuth bug, a platform automatically caught the error, mapped the logic, and patched it on the fly?
“The first user triggers the bug. The platform finds it, understands it, and fixes it. The second user never even knows it existed.”
I couldn't find a tool that gave me that peace of mind. So I built Relia.
