Your Meetings, Now In The Terminal: Introducing Quill CLI

The transcripts and notes inside of Quill are one of the the richest datasets you own. Who you talked to, what you decided, what you promised to follow up on. It's so valuable that we think it's only right to keep this data on your machine and not in our cloud.

Now you can do even more with that data - Quill's new CLI lets you multiply the value of your meeting. In just a few minutes with Claude Code + Quill CLI you could build:

• A Personal CRM that fills itself in (linked)
• A weekly audit dashboard of who speaks the most in your meetings
• Track the evolution of a product initiative over time from customer quotes, to an idea, to a proposal, through the actual status updates of building it.

Quill CLI works fully locally without data leaving your machine at all, so you are in control of how you use your data. The CLI talks to Quill through a local bridge that ships inside the desktop app. As a command line interface, it's designed to be easy for coding agents and humans to interact with; you or your agent can list meetings, search across your history, pull notes and transcripts, generate action items, and draft follow-ups autonomously.

Here are a few prompts to get you started building:

Weekly audit dashboard of who you're speaking with

Here's the prompt for Claude Code/Cowork, Codex, or your favorite agent

Use the Quill Meetings CLI (npx @quillmeetings/cli init)

I want to set up a project with the Quill CLI that gives me a breakdown of my month by the top 5 people who spoke to me vs. how much time I spoke to those people. I want to run this automatically every end of the month and email me a summary so I can audit my calls. Also give me a clean pie chart of the most discussed topics/themes in that time frame.

Result:

Now you have a working dashboard that pulls meetings from the past month and ranks the top five people by talk-time, with a split showing how much they spoke versus how much you spoke. You can iterate on this until it gets you exactly what you want. An AI communication coach on your laptop.

A Personal CRM that fills itself in

Use the Quill Meetings CLI (npx @quillmeetings/cli init)

I want to use the Quill CLI to build myself a lightweight CRM from my meetings. Pull my meetings from the last 30 days and for each person I met with, give me a contact record: their name, when we last spoke, the topics we've covered, and any open action items or follow-ups still outstanding. Keep it updated as new meetings come in so I always have a running view of who I owe something to.

Create a script & automation that pulls from Quill every evening and updates the CRM.

Result:

Tip: ask your CRM about open threads that you haven't closed with specific people yet and become the person who never forgets.

Try it now

Quill CLI is open source . Grab it, point your favorite agent at it, and see what you can build from your own data!

You'll need Quill desktop installed and signed in, the MCP server enabled in Settings, and Node.js 20 or newer. From there:

npx @quillmeetings/cli doctor

That runs a quick diagnostic to confirm everything's wired up. Once it passes, you're ready to start building.
