Use cases

What teams ask their Kips

Every team has questions that only one person can answer. These are the ones AFK answers instead.

Ask a teammate's Kip. It answers from their work.

Sales

Pick up any deal without starting over

When a deal changes hands, the new rep asks the last owner's Kip what was promised.

What did we promise this customer on the last call?
Which pricing did we send them?
Who is the decision maker?
Sam's Kip

They asked for a two-week pilot and the annual price. The proposal went out Thursday, and the follow-up call is booked for Monday.

Finance

The right number, the right version

No more asking which spreadsheet is final. Kip knows who changed it last and where it was sent.

Is this the final version of the Q3 budget?
Did the invoice to the client go out?
What changed in the hiring line?
Maya's Kip

v6 is final. Maya updated the hiring line on Tuesday and sent it to Finance at 4:12 pm.

Engineering

Context when the engineer is asleep

On-call and across time zones, ask the person's Kip for the thread, the decision and the ticket.

Why did we turn off the old sync job?
Which release fixed the login bug?
Who reviewed the database change?
Leo's Kip

It was replaced by the new event queue in March. The decision is in the infra thread, and the ticket is linked.

Operations

Everyone in the loop, no meeting

A written stand-up every morning and quick answers on suppliers, schedules and who is doing what.

What is everyone working on today?
When is the supplier call?
What is blocking the office move?
Team stand-up

Maya: offer letters. Sam: pricing page. Leo: customer review. Blocker: design sign-off.

Founders

Updates that write themselves

Kip gathers the month's numbers and writes a first draft of the update in your voice.

Draft this month's investor update.
What did we tell the board about hiring?
Summarise this week for the team.
Your Kip

Draft ready: two launches, one hire, pipeline up on last month. Numbers are from the Q3 sheet.

Agencies

Client work survives time off

When a project lead is away, their Kip answers what was agreed, what is due and where every file lives.

Where are we with this client?
What did they approve in the last round?
Where are the final files?
Jordan's Kip

Round two is approved except the homepage. Finals are in the client folder, and the next review is Friday.

Have a question only one person can answer?
