Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Harvest and it can do the Harvest 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. 19 reads run without asking. 12 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in Harvest

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

- Time entries, projects, tasks, and clients
- Invoices, estimates, payments, and their messages
- Users and expense categories

## 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.

- Log time
- Record an expense
- Add a client, a contact, or a project
- Create a task
- Update any of them, or a time entry

## 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.

- Create, change, or delete an invoice or an estimate
- Delete a client, a project, a task, or a time entry
- Create or change a user

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray log two hours against the Acme project for today."
- "@Ray how many hours did we put into Northwind last month?"
- "@Ray which invoices are still unpaid?"
- "@Ray add the conference ticket as an expense on the marketing project."

## Connecting Harvest

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