# Ray and Instagram

> Posts, stories, and the reach behind them.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Instagram and it can do the Instagram part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs, draft the change, and leave it for you. 11 reads run without asking. Writing to Instagram is not switched on yet.

## What Ray reads in Instagram

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

- Media, stories, and their insights
- Comments and the replies on them
- Account info and audience insights

## What Ray writes

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

## 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.

- Publish a post or a story
- Comment or reply on anything
- Change the messenger profile

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray how did the reel from Tuesday do?"
- "@Ray what are people saying in the comments on the launch post?"
- "@Ray how did the stories do yesterday?"
- "@Ray how many posts can we still publish today?"

## Connecting Instagram

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