YouTube, without opening YouTube.
Read-only channel, video and comment data, captions included.
In your channel
Ask Ray for something in YouTube and it posts this card in the thread. One click, and the task you asked for carries on where it left off.
What Ray can and cannot do in YouTube
Reading is free, because reading changes nothing. Everything that writes waits for you. The rest is not on Ray’s list.

What Ray answers with
Ray reads YouTube and answers from it in the thread. Writing to YouTube is not switched on yet, so there is nothing here 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.

How Ray works with YouTube
No workflow to build, and nothing to maintain when the work changes.
- 01
Connect YouTube
One click, right where you asked. Ray posts a connect card, you authorise YouTube 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
Ray answers where you asked
Ray only reads YouTube, so there is nothing here to approve. It looks up what it needs and replies in the thread.

@Ray the checkout bug is back. Take a look in YouTube, and tell Dana it is being looked at.

Checked YouTube. The spec was last edited on Tuesday and the open question about refunds is still unanswered.
What does connecting YouTube to Ray actually do?
Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect YouTube and it can do the YouTube 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.
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 YouTube account, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in YouTube shows who actually asked.
Security and permissions
- You authorise YouTube on its own login screen. Your password never passes through Ray.
- Writes are gated in the execution path, not by a prompt. There is no setting that grants blanket approval.
- Each workspace is isolated at the database level, and that isolation is tested by trying to break it.
- Disconnect YouTube in a message, or uninstall Ray and every connection it held is revoked.
More marketing & ads integrations
Ray uses them together in a single run when a request spans more than one.

Free to start, no credit card, and it asks before it acts.
