# Ray and fal.ai

> One key, every model worth running, and the price before you approve.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect fal.ai and it can do the fal.ai 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. 5 reads run without asking. 5 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in fal.ai

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

- Which models are available, searched by name or category
- What an endpoint charges, and what a planned run would cost
- Whether a queued job has finished, and its result when it has

## 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.

- Running a model, waiting on it, or queueing it to collect later
- Uploading an image, audio or video file for a model to work from
- Cancelling a job that has not started yet

## 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.

- Stream a job's status, which a plain status check answers better
- Fetch the webhook signing keys

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray run the MiniMax voice on this script and send me the file"

## Connecting fal.ai

fal.ai 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 fal.ai or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
