The problem

You’ve got more to deliver, less to spend, and the same hours in the day.

01

Efficiencies are mandated.

Councils must deliver more without spending more money. You need to find capacity within the team you already have.

02

Meeting minutes take hours.

Your records are accountable, legally significant documents. Getting them right means painstaking listening and verifying.

03

Nobody has extra capacity.

Leaders across all parts of your organisation are buried in administration when they should be focused on strategy.

How it works

What kinds of meetings and conversations can I record?

Any conversation, anywhere. Contented can record online, in person, even in your car. No meeting bot required. Capture client meetings, strategy sessions, board meetings, HR discussions, interviews, team catch-ups, conference debriefs, even your long solo musings on the beach.

Can I share meeting notes and documents with my team?

Yes. You can share conversations directly with individual team members or groups within your workspace. Recipients can view the conversation and generate their own documents and insights from it. You can also share with full permission, so others can edit and manage the recording. What you create can be downloaded to share as a document or CSV.

What happens to recordings on my phone after they upload?

They're automatically deleted from the device once the recording has been successfully uploaded to your encrypted workspace. Audio never sits on personal devices longer than necessary, which matters for organisations with BYOD policies.

Will it add things that weren't said?

No. Contented only works with what’s within the recording. It applies structured templates to your transcript rather than generating text from scratch, so there's no room for fabrication. Every output traces back to a speaker or timestamp, and you review and finalise everything before it leaves your team.
