Getting Started with Quill
Meetings are the lifeblood of any organization, but they can also be a source of frustration and wasted time. How can we ensure that every meeting is productive, insightful, and secure? At Quill, we believe the answer lies in a powerful combination of intuitive design and advanced AI. This tutorial demonstrates how Quill transforms your meetings into actionable insights, all while prioritizing your privacy. We'll explore Quill's key features: its intelligent note-taking capabilities, robust privacy protections, and seamless integration with your existing workflow.
Quill automatically transcribes your meetings, generating minutes within minutes. Think of it as having a dedicated note-taker in every meeting, capturing every key point and decision. This frees you to focus on the discussion, not on scrambling to keep up with notes. Quill even identifies action items, so you can leave every meeting with a clear understanding of next steps. It's like having a personal assistant organizing your thoughts.
Beyond simple transcription, Quill analyzes the content of your meetings. It identifies key themes and topics, summarizing the discussion into concise and actionable notes. This feature is particularly useful for lengthy or complex meetings, where it can be difficult to keep track of everything. Quill's AI acts as a filter, distilling the essence of your conversations into easily digestible summaries.

Quill also allows you to add personal notes and highlights during the meeting. This lets you emphasize important points or jot down your own thoughts without interrupting the flow of conversation. These personal notes are integrated into the final summary, providing a richer and more personalized record of the meeting.
At Quill, we understand that your meeting data is sensitive. That's why we've built privacy into the core of our product. Your data is never stored in the cloud unless you explicitly choose to. Even then, it's protected with end-to-end encryption, meaning that only you have the keys to access it.
"your data is actually not stored anywhere in the cloud if you don't want it to be. And if it is stored in the cloud, it's fully end-to-end encrypted" [Nick]
This commitment to privacy extends to our AI features. Your meeting transcripts and audio are processed locally on your device. They are never sent to our servers, ensuring that your conversations remain completely confidential. It's like having a soundproof meeting room, but digital.
"So you completely own your data is completely safe, and there's no record of it anywhere except on your machine, unless you choose to share it or sync it." [Nick]
Quill's local-first approach to data storage gives you complete control over your information. You decide what is shared, when, and with whom. This level of control is essential for protecting sensitive business discussions and maintaining confidentiality.
Quill is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing workflow. It integrates with popular calendar applications, automatically pulling in participant names and even auto-starting recordings. This eliminates the need for manual setup, saving you time and effort.
"If you connect your calendar... It will actually pull the participant names out from the calendar, as well as help autostart." [Nick]
Quill’s autoscreenshot feature captures presentations slides automatically, adding them directly to your meeting notes. No more frantic screen grabs or requests for slide decks after the meeting. Everything you need is captured and organized automatically.
"One thing I'd highly recommend you do is turn on autoscreenshot. What screenshot is going to do is during a meeting, if someone's sharing something with you, it's going to automatically capture the screen." [Nick]
Quill makes it easy to share your meeting summaries with colleagues. You can export your notes in various formats, making it simple to distribute key takeaways and action items. This streamlined process fosters better communication and collaboration within your team.
Quill empowers you to unlock the true potential of your meetings. By automating note-taking, prioritizing privacy, and integrating with your existing tools, Quill frees you to focus on what matters most: engaging in productive discussions and making informed decisions. We believe that meetings should be a source of clarity and progress, not frustration. Quill is the tool that makes that vision a reality. It’s time to reclaim your meeting time.
"We believe meetings are an incredible rich source of very personal and very proprietary data and we don't think those things should belong in the cloud if you don't want them to" [Nick]
