"Hey Siri, text Quin…”

Some of the best ideas happen when you're nowhere near your computer. You're driving home after a client meeting and remember you promised to send that proposal. You're at your kid's soccer game when you realize you need to check in with that prospect from last week.

The problem is these thoughts usually vanish by the time you're back at your desk. Or worse, you interrupt what you're doing to frantically type notes into your phone that you'll hopefully remember to act on later.

When work thoughts happen outside work hours

Your brain doesn't stop working just because you've left the office. Connections happen during your commute. Solutions occur while you're exercising. Follow-up reminders surface during family time.

But pulling out your phone to type detailed CRM updates or task lists breaks the moment you're in. Whether you're driving, spending time with family, or just trying to be present, stopping to handle work stuff feels intrusive.

Voice commands change this completely. You can capture thoughts without switching contexts or breaking your flow.

How Siri and Quin work together

Since Quin works through text messaging, you can use Siri to send updates hands-free.

When you remember you promised to send that proposal to a client, just tell Siri to text that reminder to Quin. Following up with the Henderson account about their renewal timeline? Same approach. Scheduling a check-in with Marcus about project status becomes as simple as speaking the request.

Quin processes these voice-to-text messages the same way it handles any other request—creating tasks, updating records, or drafting follow-ups based on what you described.

The places this actually helps

• During your commute, you can process meeting outcomes while they're fresh in your mind, without the distraction of typing while driving.
• Exercise time becomes productive when client insights occur during walks or gym sessions—capture them without breaking your routine.
• Family time stays protected when urgent work thoughts surface. Handle them quickly without pulling out your phone and getting pulled into email or other work distractions.
• Weekend insights about client situations get captured immediately rather than hoping you'll remember Monday morning.
• Travel presents constant opportunities to update your CRM or create follow-up tasks during flights, long drives, or any time typing isn't convenient.

Voice updates that actually work

The key is being specific enough for Quin to take the right action. Instead of "remind me about that client," say "create a task to send the proposal to Jennifer at TechFlow by Friday."

Include context that helps Quin understand what you need. When David mentions they're expanding to Dallas next quarter and will need additional licenses, capture that update with enough detail for proper record keeping.

Mention deadlines when they matter. Scheduling a follow-up call with the Anderson account for next Tuesday to discuss their budget timeline gives Quin everything needed to create the appropriate calendar event.

Staying present while staying productive

The real value isn't just convenience—it's being able to capture thoughts without fully shifting into work mode. You can acknowledge the thought, handle it quickly, and return to whatever you were doing.

This is especially helpful during personal time when thoughts naturally come up but you don't want to get sucked into extended work sessions. A quick voice command handles the immediate need without opening email or diving into your CRM.

Your ideas get captured and acted on without interrupting the non-work parts of your life.

Setting this up

To use Siri with Quin, you need to have text messaging enabled in your Quin account (you can add your phone number in Account > My Profile). Once that's set up, Quin's text number works with any voice assistant that can send messages.

Voice commands work best for straightforward requests—updating contact info, creating simple tasks, scheduling follow-ups, or noting important details. More complex instructions might be easier to handle when you're at your computer.

But for those moment-of-insight updates that happen throughout your day, voice commands keep your workflow moving without pulling you away from life outside work.
