Source-aware memory for teams that decide

Quill turns decisions, notes, documents, and loose ends into one source-aware record—then brings the right context back when the next decision arrives.

Quill · Notetaker
The archive has an editor.
Part archivist, part investigative editor, part continuity engine. Quill notices the seam: a deadline with no owner, a decision with no rationale, two notes that are really one, or a confident retelling with thin evidence.
- CaptureThe familiar desktop pencil records what happened.
- ConnectThe new thread mark follows what the note becomes.
- ConfirmEvery archive edit remains visible until you approve it.
01 · File the delta
One clean record. Not another pile of notes.
Give Quill a transcript, a link, a half-formed thought, or the correction that arrived two weeks later. Quill separates raw material into the durable parts and updates the canonical item instead of creating a near-copy.

- 01Separate signal from transcript
Dates, owners, rationale, and unresolved work become explicit fields.
- 02Update the canonical item
A correction becomes a version—not another note competing to be true.
- 03Keep the source attached
The clean record remains connected to the material that supports it.
02 · Trace the thread
Ask how you got here. Get the chronology, not a guess.
Quill reconstructs the written history, distinguishes evidence from inference, and leaves the silence visible when the archive cannot answer.
Original plan
recordProduction cutover set for 15 July.
Incident review
recordAdded a mandatory rollback rehearsal.
Dependency surfaced
recordPlatform sign-off required before rehearsal.
Date moved
currentCutover re-filed for 18 July; Maya remains owner.
Quill's read
The date moved to make room for the new rollback gate. The record is silent on who owns platform sign-off.
03 · Read across the company
The source behind the story.
When connected, Quill searches the systems where your company already writes. A lookup stays a lookup; deliberate ingestion stays deliberate. Every answer keeps its provenance.
Google Drive
Search documents and retrieve the exact source behind a remembered decision.
Atlassian
Read Confluence and Rovo results without blurring lookup into personal memory.
Microsoft
Keep SharePoint context attributed to its document, version, and workspace.
Notion + Box
Bring durable company writing into the answer while preserving its boundary.
04 · Edit the archive
Memory needs maintenance.
Quill audits before editing. Nothing is silently merged, changed, or published; proposed cleanup stays visible until you approve it.
Near-duplicates
Three notes appear to describe the same Aurora rollback decision.
Ownerless actions
Open asks with an object and a driver, but no accountable person.
Stale records
Active records whose source changed after the last filed version.
Propose. Review. File.
The archive changes only when you say so.
Built into Zimac desktop
Your context stays yours.
Quill works inside Zimac's local-first memory system. Connected sources remain attributed, model calls receive only selected context, and external edits stay human-gated.
Protected local memory
Your durable personal context remains on the machine you control.
Source-level provenance
Company knowledge remains visibly tied to where it came from.
Human-gated changes
Quill proposes archive and external edits; you decide what becomes true.
One desktop identity
The pencil you know and the thread mark you follow belong to the same Quill.
Questions people actually ask
Before Quill files anything.
Straight answers about sources, edits, personal memory, and what happens when the archive cannot support a claim.
Does Quill silently rewrite my notes?
No. Quill can identify a likely canonical record and propose a merge or correction, but the change remains visible until you approve it.
What if the record disagrees with the retelling?
Quill shows the source-backed chronology and marks any interpretation as a read. Missing evidence stays missing instead of becoming a confident invention.
Does connected company knowledge become personal memory?
No. Source lookup and deliberate memory ingestion are separate actions, and retrieved material keeps its system-level provenance.
