Squirrl. Internal tool.

Voice-first studio OS. Clients, docs and calendar sit behind one orb you talk to; it schedules, files and follows up for you.

01 — Challenge

A studio's day is mostly admin nobody wants to click through

Client notes, meeting follow-ups, files and calendar live in five tools. We built Squirrl for ourselves first: a single orb you talk to that knows every client, can read every doc and acts (schedules, files, drafts) with a human approving anything that leaves the building.

Problem
Context scattered across five tools, re-typed daily
Bet
Voice plus agents beats another dashboard
Constraint
Nothing sent or deleted without a human in the loop
Squirrl home: the orb, a Today card, and the mic prompt
02 — Built

What we built.

01

The orb

Push-to-talk voice surface with streaming transcription; the whole interface is one conversation with memory per client.

02

Agent + tools

Claude with MCP tools over calendar, docs, mail and CRM. Every write action is proposed first, executed on approval.

03

Client memory

Per-client context built from notes, threads and docs, retrieved on demand, never stuffed into one prompt.

04

Quiet UI

Cards for today, recent clients and documents surface only when relevant, the screen earns attention, it doesn't demand it.

Printed flow: Clients → client detail → Calendar
One flow: Clients, a client's board, the calendar it writes to
Designare client board with To do and Doing tasks
A client board: Designare, tasks and deliverables, kept by the agent
