# Ray and Google Maps

> Where somewhere is, what is near it, and how long the trip takes.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Google Maps and it can do the Google Maps 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. 7 reads run without asking. Writing to Google Maps is not switched on yet.

## What Ray reads in Google Maps

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

- Places, their details, and what is nearby
- Routes, travel times, and time zones

## What Ray writes

Ray reads Google Maps and answers from it in the thread. Writing to Google Maps is not switched on yet, so there is nothing to approve.

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray how long from the office to the airport at 6pm?"

## Connecting Google Maps

Every person on the team connects their own Google Maps account on Google Maps's own login screen, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in Google Maps shows who actually asked. Passwords never pass through Ray. Disconnecting Google Maps or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
