Gmail, without opening Gmail.
Draft the follow-up in your voice. Sending is the one thing it always asks about.
- Free to start
- No card
- Nothing sends or spends without you
- Your own account, not a shared login
Ask in your own words.
Nothing to configure and no builder to open. Copy one of these into a thread, swap in your own Gmail details, and Ray takes it from there.
@Ray draft a reply to Dana confirming Thursday.
@Ray did the vendor ever reply about the invoice?
@Ray reply to that thread and say we will have it by Monday.
@Ray tell me each morning what came in overnight that needs an answer.
What Ray can and cannot do in Gmail
Reading is free, because reading changes nothing. Writing stops for you, apart from the drafts named below. The rest is not on Ray’s list.
8 reads wired, 3 actions that wait for a human, and 1 that does not.
Runs on its own
What Ray reads in Gmail
- Threads and messages in the connected mailbox
- Whether someone replied, so it can answer “did they get back to us?”
Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.
Asks first, every time
What waits for your approval
- Send an email, with the recipient, subject, and full body on the card first
- Reply to a thread
Ray posts a card showing exactly what it is about to do. Nothing happens until someone clicks approve, and no setting turns that off.
Not on the list
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 message
- Change mailbox settings or forwarding
Exactly what Ray will ask you to approve.
Not a category of permission. These are the Gmail actions Ray can take, each one stopping in the thread with the real content before it happens.
- Send email via Gmail
- Reply in a Gmail thread
- Send draft
Runs without asking
- Create a draft email
None of these sends anything or moves money. They set the work up, and the step that makes it real is on the list above.
Send email via Gmail
Showing To, Subject and Body, each carrying the exact content that will land.
How Ray works with Gmail
No workflow to build, and nothing to maintain when the work changes.
- 01
Connect Gmail
One click, right where you asked. Ray posts a connect card, you authorise Gmail with your own account, and the work you asked for picks up where it left off.
- 02
Ask in plain words
In the conversation you were already having. Nothing to build, no trigger to map, no tab to open.
- 03
Approve, and it lands
Reading runs on its own. Anything that creates, sends or spends stops first and shows you the exact content.

@Ray the checkout bug is back. Take a look in Gmail, and tell Dana it is being looked at.
Send email via Gmail
- Waiting on
- your approval
Ray uses Gmail together with the rest of your tools.
One ask can read Gmail, cross-reference what is in these, and land the finished result back in the thread. Not four connectors taking turns, one teammate with one memory.
What does connecting Gmail to Ray actually do?
Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Gmail and it can do the Gmail 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.
It is not a workflow builder. There is no trigger to configure and no automation to repair when your process shifts. You describe the outcome in the thread and Ray picks the actions, including actions in your other connected tools when the request spans more than one.
Every person on the team connects their own Gmail account, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in Gmail shows who actually asked.
Security and permissions
- You authorise Gmail on its own login screen. Your password never passes through Ray.
- Writes are gated in the execution path, not by a prompt. There is no setting that grants blanket approval.
- Each workspace is isolated at the database level, and that isolation is tested by trying to break it.
- Disconnect Gmail in a message, or uninstall Ray and every connection it held is revoked.
Gmail and Ray, answered
The questions teams ask before they connect Gmail. Every answer is how this integration is built rather than a promise about it.
More email & comms integrations
Ray uses them together in a single run when a request spans more than one.

Free to start, no credit card, and it asks before it acts.
