Outlook, without opening Outlook.
The same mail work, in Microsoft's mailbox, with the calendar to read alongside it.
- Free to start
- No card
- Nothing irreversible without your yes
- 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 Outlook details, and Ray takes it from there.
@Ray draft a reply to Dana and propose a time from my calendar.
@Ray what is still unread from outside the company today?
@Ray send the Q3 summary to the finance team.
@Ray who is double-booked for the Thursday review?
What Ray can and cannot do in Outlook
Reading is free, because reading changes nothing. Everyday changes Ray just makes, and anything that can't be taken back waits for your yes. The rest is not on Ray’s list.
20 reads wired, 2 actions Ray does at once, and 4 actions that wait for your yes.
Runs on its own
What Ray reads in Outlook
- Messages, folders, and what you have already sent
- The calendar, free/busy for the people on it, and the directory
Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.
Just does it
Ray does these at once
- Draft an email or a reply
Anything Ray can put back comes with an Undo button on its reply. In a schedule, a watch or a chase that has read outside content with nobody present, these wait for a yes too.
Asks first, every time
Always waits for your yes
- Send an email, or send a draft
- Reply to or forward a message
Ray posts a card showing exactly what it is about to do. Nothing happens until someone approves, 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.
- Create or change mail rules and mailbox settings
- Change calendar or folder permissions
Exactly what Ray will ask you to approve.
Not a category of permission. These are the Outlook actions that stop in the thread with the real content before they happen.
- Forward an email in Outlook
- Reply to an email in Outlook
- Send draft
- Send email via Outlook
Ray does these at once
- Create a draft email
- Draft a reply in the thread
Everyday work. Anything Ray can put back comes with an Undo button on its reply.
Forward an email in Outlook
Showing To, Subject, Comment and Body, each carrying the exact content that will land.
How Ray works with Outlook
No workflow to build, and nothing to maintain when the work changes.
- 01
Connect Outlook
One click, right where you asked. Ray posts a connect card, you authorise Outlook 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. Everyday changes land at once with an Undo, and anything that sends, spends or can't be taken back waits for your yes with the exact content in front of you.

@Ray the checkout bug is back. Take a look in Outlook, and tell Dana it is being looked at.
Forward an email in Outlook
- Waiting on
- your yes
Ray uses Outlook together with the rest of your tools.
One ask can read Outlook, 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 Outlook to Ray actually do?
Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Outlook and it can do the Outlook part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs and make the change, asking first before anything that can’t be taken back.
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 Outlook account, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in Outlook shows who actually asked.
Security and permissions
- You authorise Outlook on its own login screen. Your password never passes through Ray.
- What waits for a yes is decided in the execution path, not by a prompt. No setting lets an irreversible action through without one.
- Each workspace is isolated at the database level, and that isolation is tested by trying to break it.
- Disconnect Outlook in a message, or uninstall Ray and every connection it held is revoked.
Outlook and Ray, answered
The questions teams ask before they connect Outlook. 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.
