# Ray and HeyGen

> Ask for the video in the thread, approve the script, come back to the link.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect HeyGen and it can do the HeyGen 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. 25 reads run without asking. 16 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in HeyGen

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

- Avatars, avatar groups, talking photos and the voices that go with them
- Templates and the variables each one expects
- Videos you have made, and whether the one you just asked for is ready
- Assets, folders and how much API quota is left

## 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.

- Generating a video from a script or from a template, with the script on the approval card
- Translating a finished video into another language
- Generating speech audio, avatar photos and talking photos
- Uploading an asset and organising folders

## 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.

- Mint a public link that lets anyone watch a video without signing in
- Run interactive streaming sessions, which need a live browser Ray does not have
- Attach a contact list to a personalised video project, or delete a video, avatar or asset

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray make the release video from our template and send me the link"

## Connecting HeyGen

HeyGen 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 HeyGen or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
