I've spent a career asking questions.

Why Quey

I've spent fifteen years asking people questions for a living. Filming in ambulances. In schools. Inside families' homes. With strangers I'd met an hour earlier and would never see again.

The thing that's stayed with me — more than any of the stories — is how open people are when you actually ask. People want to be heard. They want to talk about the things that matter to them. The barrier almost never lives with them. It lives with the asker.

Most people don't have time to learn how to interview. We've all walked away from a conversation thinking of the question we should have asked. On the drive home. In the shower. Three hours later, when it's already too late.

I wanted to build something that helps anyone — not just documentary makers — get the conversation they came for.

What Quey does

You speak the brief — out loud, thirty seconds. Quey writes you a sharp question set, ready before the conversation starts. While you talk, Quey listens through the conversation and marks each question covered as its answer comes up. One tap pulls the follow-up you'd otherwise think of in the car.

When you're done, Quey emails you the transcript and a post-chat report — pickups for next time, soundbites worth keeping, how the conversation actually went. Two dynamics, end-to-end. Transcription and AI. Nothing else to learn.

Quey and Earwig

If you've heard of Earwig, that's the bigger sibling — built for documentary teams who walk out of a shoot needing the rough cut ready before they leave the location. Same engine, more production tooling.

Quey is the smaller one. Same listening voice in your ear, same sharp question generation — without any of the editing or production stuff. Just you, the conversation, and a coach that helps you get better at it.

Recruiting. Interviewing. Coffee chats. The conversations that don't have a calendar invite but matter anyway.
