Relay by Humanity Incorporated

A doctor's professional duties (demonstration)

  1. 1Choose what to carryThe organisations whose guidance you want with you
  2. 2Add Relay to your assistantOne link, added once to the assistant you use
  3. 3Ask as you normally wouldWhen it applies, the guidance comes with the answer

A demonstration of how a doctor could ask an AI assistant about their professional duties and get back the source, the limit of what it can say, and the person to speak to. Plain-English paraphrases of guidance the General Medical Council publishes, written by Humanity Incorporated.

Try it inside an assistant first
This is a demonstration built by Humanity Incorporated. It is not published, reviewed or endorsed by the General Medical Council, and no doctor, medical defence organisation or regulator has checked it. Every passage paraphrases GMC guidance. Each was checked on 8 October 2026 against GMC text captured the day before, but not against the GMC's original documents or its live website, so read the GMC's own guidance before relying on any of it. It cannot tell anyone whether they met their duties in a particular case.

What this adds

Once Relay is in your assistant, it can consult this guidance when you ask about something it covers, and the answer comes back with the source, where the guidance stops, and who to speak to. It does not replace judgement, procedures or responsible people.
