# Ray and Coda

> Docs that behave like databases, read and kept current from chat.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Coda and it can do the Coda 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. 35 reads run without asking. 9 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in Coda

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

- Docs, folders, pages, and the content on a page
- Tables and views with their columns, rows, controls, and formulas
- Doc and page analytics, and who a doc is shared with
- A Coda link resolved to the thing it points at

## 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.

- Create or update a doc, a page, or a folder, and copy a doc
- Add or update rows in a table
- Trigger a named automation

## 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.

- Publish a doc to the public web, or point a domain at one
- Grant, revoke, or change anyone's access
- Touch the Pack platform, including its OAuth credentials and source code
- Push a button, whose effect only the doc's author knows
- Delete a doc, page, folder, or row

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray add a row to the launch tracker for the pricing page."

## Connecting Coda

Coda 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 Coda or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
