The Quick desktop app is here, and it’s compelling.
Connects to your email, calendar, Slack, local files, and several other apps to flag important communications, retrieve and summarize info, make recommendations, send communications, and create agents that do work you used to have to do yourself. Gets smarter and more personalized the more you use it.
Been using it a lot recently and is changing how I work. It’s allowing me to use applications like my inbox more like an archive, and Quick as my personalized, prioritized, productivity hub that can multi-task various needs.
Still early days, and a lot more coming, but excited for folks to start using it to make the undifferentiated work so much less complicated. https://t.co/UtuGTDx4gT
