# Ray and Shortcut

> Stories, epics and iterations, run from the thread they came up in.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Shortcut and it can do the Shortcut 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. 64 reads run without asking. 39 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in Shortcut

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

- One search across stories, epics, iterations, objectives and docs
- Story detail, history, tasks, comments and linked branches
- Epics with their health, stories and documents
- Iterations, objectives, teams, labels and workflow states

## 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.

- Creating and updating stories, epics, iterations and objectives
- Commenting on a story or an epic, and replying in a thread
- Changing many stories at once, with every id on the card

## 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 read a generic integration, whose setup carries a secret
- Turn iterations or story templates on or off for the workspace
- Delete a story, epic, doc, comment or task, or unlink one thing from another

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray what is left in this iteration?"

## Connecting Shortcut

Shortcut 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 Shortcut or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
