Use Quok by voice or text
Quok doesn’t ship its own chatbot. Instead, it plugs into the assistant you already use - Claude or ChatGPT - so managing the family works wherever that assistant works: their apps, their websites, and their voice modes. One connection, every surface. (Set it up first)
Things worth saying
Section titled “Things worth saying”Talk like you’d talk to your partner - the assistant translates it into calendar and list changes:
Calendar
- “Add swimming for Zosia every Tuesday at 4pm starting next week.”
- “What’s on this weekend?”
- “Move Friday’s dentist appointment to 3:30.”
- “Are we free on the 14th?”
Lists
- “Add milk, butter, and 2 kg of flour to the groceries.”
- “Put ‘book the cabin’ on the to-do list and note it’s urgent.”
- “What’s still unchecked on the packing list?”
- “Mark the flowers as bought.”
The good stuff - combinations
- “Here’s the birthday party invitation email - put it on the calendar and add a gift to the shopping list.”
- “School’s out June 26 to July 8 - clear that from my head: add it as an all-day event and start a packing list for the trip.”
Nothing extra to configure: open your assistant’s voice mode (both Claude and ChatGPT have one) and say it - “add sunscreen to the shopping list” - while your hands are full of the actual sunscreen. Whatever the assistant does lands in Quok the same as typed requests.
How changes land
Section titled “How changes land”Everything the assistant creates is real Quok data, synced to the whole family instantly and recorded as done by you. It acts with exactly your permissions - nothing more (details). So a quick glance at the calendar after a complex request is good practice, and anything that landed slightly off you can fix in the app like any other event or item.
If the assistant can’t see Quok
Section titled “If the assistant can’t see Quok”- Make sure the connection is still listed in Quok’s settings under Connect an AI app - and in the assistant’s connector settings on the other side.
- In some AI apps, tools must be enabled per-conversation - check that the Quok connector is toggled on for the chat you’re in.
- Reconnecting from scratch takes two minutes: disconnect in Quok, then set up fresh.
