    The AI tool that turns conversations into action
    Jul 28 2025
    What if your meetings, interviews, or coaching sessions could turn themselves into structured insights, ready-to-go content, or instant action points? That’s what Contented AI - a Christchurch-based startup led by Lucy Pink and Hannah Hardy-Jones - is building. In this episode, we talk about the journey from early idea to functioning product, bootstrapping vs raising, building with intention from Aotearoa, and how the Contented team has carved out a distinctive wedge in the AI space. We also dig into what it means to build a tool that listens and suggests - not just takes notes - and how their users are shaping what comes next. Join us for a conversation about product-market fit, AI possibility, founder grit, and building global software that still feels human. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
