# Ray and Bannerbear

> The template is already designed. Ray fills it in and sends the file.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Bannerbear and it can do the Bannerbear part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs, draft the change, and post it for approval before anything is written. 26 reads run without asking. 23 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in Bannerbear

Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.

- Your image and animation templates, with the layer schema saying which fields each one takes
- Every image, animation, video and PDF the workspace has rendered, and the assets behind them
- Whether a render has finished, plus batches and workflow runs started in Bannerbear itself
- The plan, the render quota left, and what the connected key is allowed to do

## What waits for your approval

Every one of these posts an approval card in the thread showing exactly what is about to happen. Nothing runs until someone clicks approve, and no setting turns that off.

- Rendering an image, an animation or a voiceover from one of your templates
- Editing video: trim, crop, resize, join, subtitle, overlay, background removal
- Building a slideshow or a PDF out of images and clips you point at
- Saving a template, running a workflow, and opening an Instant URL others render through

## Things Ray is never handed

These are left out during curation, so they are not something Ray could do and decides against. They are not in front of it at all.

- Delete a template, an Instant URL or a webhook
- Queue up to a hundred renders against your quota behind one approval
- Add or edit the webhooks Bannerbear posts finished renders to

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray render the launch banner in all five sizes."
- "@Ray how many renders do we have left this month?"
- "@Ray put subtitles on the demo video."
- "@Ray turn these six product shots into a slideshow."

## Connecting Bannerbear

Bannerbear has no per-person login, so it connects once with a single workspace key and covers the whole team. Ray reaches whatever that key reaches, and every write still stops for approval first. The key is pasted on Ray's own connect page, never in chat, and it never reaches the model. Disconnecting Bannerbear or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
