How Quely works

Quely connects work, context, conversations, and meetings, then uses Orbit to retrieve information, create Lenses, and help people take action.

The model at a glance

Connected tools
    -> Organization and Spaces
    -> Work Units, Context Units, and Groups
    -> Signals such as Threads, files, docs, and meetings
    -> Orbit and shared Lenses
    -> Actions in Quely or a connected work tool

Home is the global Orbit workspace

Home contains the prompt Ask Orbit anything about your work. It can search across every Space you can access. The starting actions are Find, Draft, and Schedule.

Home Orbit can answer a question, draft a Knowledge document for a Unit, prepare a schedule, or push a suggested work item to a supported provider.

A Space is a persistent workspace for a project, initiative, team, or theme. Its Queue contains Work Units and Context Units, organized with Groups when needed.

Work and Context are the two Unit types

A Work Unit is linked to a task, ticket, or issue in a connected delivery tool.
A Context Unit is native to Quely and builds a focused understanding from selected sources.
A Group organizes Units. It is not another Unit type.

The complete Space workspace

Orbit uses the relevant scope

Home Orbit searches accessible Spaces. Unit Orbit uses the open Unit's signals. Meeting Orbit uses the selected meeting. This prevents a Unit question from silently using unrelated work.

Lenses turn signals into shared understanding

Lenses group synthesized insights into Decisions, Actions, Risks, Opportunities, Open Questions, and Next Steps. Users can search and filter the Lens list, open the Lens Map, ask Orbit about a Lens, mark it resolved, schedule a meeting, or push it to a supported work provider.
