Use case · Voice updates
Update your to-do list by voice after a call or change
Qubit cannot capture a conversation that was outside its available sources. When you know what changed, you can tell it in natural language to add, change or complete a task, then review the list.
Illustrative example. The words and resulting task below are fictional, not a recording of Qubit processing this request.
Who this helps
Voice is useful when you are between calls, away from a keyboard or returning to a task after an off-screen conversation. You already know the update; speaking saves a separate manual edit. If your existing app's voice entry reliably handles this, you may already have what you need.
A change that Qubit could not see
Fictional example: a phone call after a proposal
- Before
- Your list says, “Send revised proposal to Arun on Thursday.”
- Off-screen change
- On a phone call outside Qubit's capture, Arun asks for the proposal on Monday instead.
- What you say
- “Move the revised proposal for Arun from Thursday to Monday.”
- After review
- The task should say, “Send revised proposal to Arun on Monday.” Check that the right task and date changed. Correct it manually if the result is wrong.
A completion update is similar: if you sent the proposal from a source Qubit could not read, tell it that you sent the proposal, then check that the intended item was marked done. Do not assume speaking a sentence proves delivery to the client.
How to use Qubit for this
- State the change plainly. Name the task and the new state or date. Include enough context to distinguish it from similar items.
- Inspect the result. Confirm Qubit changed the intended item, created a new one only when appropriate, or marked the right work complete.
- Correct and continue. You can edit wording, dates and reminders, add missing tasks, or mark an item done yourself.
Where the boundary is
Natural-language updates do not mean Qubit knows the full content of an uncaptured call. The spoken update gives it what you said; it may still select the wrong task or interpret a date incorrectly. Review consequential changes. Voice is an input to Qubit's personal list, not a promise to edit an outside task app or schedule calendar time.
When a commitment is already in supported work context, Qubit can also help create and update the task from that source. See how a changing task stays current and what the Mac app can capture. For a comparison with dictation into other apps, see Qubit vs Wispr Flow.
For freelancers, agency owners and teams, fractional CXOs, consultants, and client-facing roles like account managers. After a client call or an off-screen change, tell Qubit what happened, then review the updated list.
