> Find the question that matches the error in front of you, and read the answers.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Stack Exchange and it can do the Stack Exchange 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. 12 reads run without asking. Writing to Stack Exchange is not switched on yet.

## What Ray reads in Stack Exchange

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

- Questions, answers, and the comments on them
- Similar and linked questions, tags, and their FAQs

## What Ray writes

Ray reads Stack Exchange and answers from it in the thread. Writing to Stack Exchange 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.

- Read anyone's access tokens

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray has anyone hit this Postgres deadlock error before?"

## Connecting Stack Exchange

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