Contented

Contented co-founders, Lucy Pink and Hannah Hardy-Jones, had the best time attending Decipher Group Limited's EA networking event last week. We shared our story and giving an exclusive sneak peek at something exciting we’ve been developing: our new Board Meeting Module. Originally crafted for organisations like councils and chambers of commerce to turn their long (think 4+ hours) meetings into expert-minutes. We wanted to empower all our users with this capability. A special thanks to Matthew Mark, Leanne Crozier, Sara Syme, and the entire Decipher team for hosting such an incredible event for the EA community. The room was buzzing with connections and forward-thinking ideas. And of course, a special mention to Sara for her amazing catering (those devils on horseback.. perfection).

Great to catchup with Hannah Hardy-Jones and learn about Contented Ai. Such a powerful tool to extract all the goodness from our conversations / meetings and to turn it into ready to use content. Looking forward to trailing it at tomorrow’s Home Capital Partners board meeting!

Decipher Group Limited's EA networking event is happening in Christchurch this afternoon, and it's all about making connections and sparking innovation. Contented will be there to present and dive into discussions on AI, helping attendees gain insights from the latest innovations, and potentially discover new approaches to common challenges. A big thanks to Decipher for hosting and making this happen ⚡ (There may still be time to RSVP - please get in touch with sara@deciphergroup.co.nz)

Han reporting live from the NZ HR Tech Expo, brought to Auckland by the brilliant Tomorrow's People We’re incredibly excited to showcase Contented, learn about the pain points and workflows of this amazing group of HR professionals, and gather their valuable feedback. Stay tuned for updates, and if you're here, please come say hello 👋 (and grab a mint 😆)

"Can I record this meeting?" You've probably heard this question more often at work lately, and it's not hard to see why. Recording meetings can allow participants to focus on the conversation rather than scribbling notes, knowing they can generate incredible insights after the conversation using tools like Contented. But asking for permission can feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes. That's why we've put together 10 ways to ask politely and professionally (including how to offer other options for those who aren't comfortable being recorded). You'll find the link to our latest blog in the comments section below.

An amazing week hosting the Global Association of Independent Advisors here in Ōtautahi for our annual conference: Day 1: We started with a focus on growth and how we can start leveraging AI with Hannah Hardy-Jones from Contented. Day 2: We then moved to a though provoking session on succession thinking led by Bill Withers. Day 3: We were inspired about teamwork by Colin Mansbridge and Angus Gardiner from the Crusaders. Day 4: Deep dive hosted at the Cambridge Partners office. We also managed to take everyone on a jetboat and laser clay experience and show them around our beautiful city. At the end of the day our business is all about people, and its these people that help make us a better business!

Thanks to an invitation from Cambridge Partners, Contented was very grateful to be involved in this year's annual GAIA conference—held right here in Christchurch. Our very own Hannah Hardy-Jones delivered an insightful workshop on "Unlocking Efficiency with AI." She demonstrated how businesses are leveraging AI and explored potential applications for financial advice firms. The workshop's interactive segment was a highlight, where participants were guided through the following steps: 🔍 Identify pain points and opportunities within their businesses 🎙️ Record group discussions at each table 💻 Access GAIA's dedicated Contented workspace 🚀 Upload their recordings and transform them into actionable insights It was a joy to watch the different tables bring their conversations to life, create insights, and experience Contented firsthand—reflecting on their discussions and sharing different outputs with each other. A huge thank you to the teams at Global Association of Independent Advisors(GAIA), Cambridge Partners, and to the GAIA members who embraced the hands-on AI experience with such enthusiasm 🙌
