Engineering: MongoDB Indexes, Query Optimization, and You 🫵
Hi there! This is Logan with Knudge Engineering. I’m using this opportunity to go through some of the lessons and tricks I’ve learned in optimizing our usage of MongoDB — the database we use to store all Knudge data. I’m going to use the plural “indexes” here, though it and “indices” are both valid, because it’s a simpler plural and both are widely used.
Knudge and Quin – How it works
Quin
Connecting Knudge to Quin automatically creates client tasks from your meeting notes and action items. Clients receive reminders by email, text, or push notification without needing to learn a new tool, and everything stays synced between Quin and Knudge in real-time.
Before you begin
You need an active Knudge account. If you don’t have one, visit Quin to sign up.
How to set up the integration
- On Quin, go to Settings > Integrations
- Click Add Integration
- Select Knudge from the list
- Click Connect and sign in to your Knudge account
- Review the permissions Quin requests (read and write access to your nudges)
- Click Allow to complete the connection
Your Knudge integration will now appear as “Active” in your Integrations page and as a connected app on the Knudge […]
Knudge integrates with Quin
From “We’ll do that” to “It’s done”
Client follow-through shouldn’t depend on sticky notes, memory, or extra admin work.
The Quin + Knudge integration connects Quin’s AI-powered meeting intelligence with Knudge’s proven client reminder system—so the commitments made in conversations actually turn into completed actions.
What is Quin?
Quin is an AI assistant built to eliminate the busywork that follows meetings. It listens to conversations, captures key takeaways, and automatically creates tasks, follow-ups, and drafts—without disrupting your workflow.
Instead of spending time translating meeting notes into action items, Quin does it for you—accurately, instantly, and in context.
With Quin, advisors can:
-
Capture action items directly from meetings and conversations
-
Automatically generate tasks, […]
Engineering: Security on the Internet
Your antivirus software might not be acting in your best interest. We, at Knudge, have encountered multiple instances of cybersecurity software interfering with our user’s connection to our service. When we dug into why, we found that many of these cybersecurity solutions were eroding security and monitoring user traffic, all without end users being aware of exactly what was happening.
“Cybersecurity”
Hi there! This is Logan with Knudge Engineering. I’m passionate about security best-practices, especially realistic ones — things that keep data safe without users having to bend over backwards. Things that can simultaneously make a system easier to use, while also improving its overall “security posture” (how secure a system is overall). This article is meant for a non-technical audience, but please do reach out to us if you’d like to know more, or if there’s anything that could use further […]
