What Quilin shows up for in your day.
Five roles we hear from often in beta. Each one lives in a different mode of voice work — Quilin meets them where they are on a Mac.
Shipping context faster than you can type.
You think out loud. You switch to 中文 when a Shanghai reviewer pings. You don't want the keyboard to be the bottleneck.
- Wed · 9:42 AM
Write a PR description faster than you can type
You just pushed the migration. You hit the hotkey at your desk, talk through what changed and why, and the description writes itself in EN. Reviewers in Shanghai get the same context — clean transcript, code-switching kept intact.

Talk through the bug before you forget what you tried
Stuck on a hairy race condition. Hit record, narrate the last hour for ten minutes — every dead end, every hypothesis, the thing that made you suspicious. Tomorrow morning you re-run "Rewrite as a Linear ticket" on the same recording. Your future self gets the context. No notes app required.

One voice update, two languages.
Bilingual team, distributed week. You don't want to translate by hand and you don't want to ask an intern.
- Mon · 6:15 PM
End-of-day broadcast in two languages
After the last 1:1, you record a five-minute voice update at your desk. Run "Translate to ZH for the Shanghai team" → both versions ship before you close the laptop.

End-of-week investor digest, in your voice
Friday morning. Hit record, talk for six minutes about the week — what shipped, what didn't, what surprised you. Re-run "Investor digest" on that recording. Three paragraphs in your voice, not a generated metrics-table tone.

Notes back in the CRM before the next call.
Back-to-back calls, a CRM that gets stale the moment you skip a beat. You want the deal note written while the prospect's words are still in your head — not three days later from a hazy memory.
- Tue · 11:15 AM
Drop the discovery-call note before the next one starts
You just hung up. Five-minute gap until the next prospect dials in. Hotkey on, narrate stated pain, the objection you didn't have a clean answer for, and the next step. Auto-applied Polish keeps it CRM-clean. The note lands in the deal record before you reset.

Ship the weekly GTM update in your voice, not a metrics table
Monday morning. Four minutes at your desk — what's hot, what slipped, what the team needs to push on. Re-run "Slack-ready GTM update" on the recording. The EN version posts to #revenue, the ZH version to the Shanghai channel, both before standup.

Notes that keep the audio.
Memos are written days later. You want the nuance you heard, not the version you remember.
- Thu · 2:30 PM
Post-call deal notes, ready for the memo
You just hung up. You hit record, talk through what stood out for four minutes. The audio stays. Tomorrow you re-run "Extract for IC memo" — partner gets a cleaner draft, you didn't lose the nuance.

Capture the gut call before the calendar eats it — in both languages
You just debriefed a Shanghai founder in mixed EN/中文 for an hour. Hit record while it's fresh — 90 seconds of your raw read, code-switching intact. Tomorrow you re-run "Extract for IC memo (English)" on the same recording. The hunch survives the calendar, and the translation.

Audio you can come back to.
A transcript loses the hesitation that mattered. You want the recording months later, on your Mac, not in someone's cloud.
- Fri · 5:50 PM
Walk through a complex matter, with the audio kept
You talk through a thorny matter for ten minutes at your desk. The transcript lands in your matter notes. The audio stays — months later, when a question comes back, you can re-listen instead of guessing.

Dictate matter notes between client calls
Five-minute gap between client calls. Hotkey on, talk for two minutes about what just settled — the auto-applied Polish keeps it lawyer-clean. The note lands in the matter file before the next client dials in. Hands stay free; the keyboard stays untouched.
