Quotem turns expert talk into signed content

James founded Quotem for firms whose best ideas sit in their experts' heads. Ten minutes of an expert talking becomes weeks of articles, posts, graphics and clips in their own words, and nothing goes out until the right people approve it.

  1. Ask. The team sends an expert one question as a link.
  2. Answer. The expert answers out loud on their phone. No login, no app.
  3. Write. Quotem writes articles, posts, graphics and short clips in their words.
  4. Trace. Every line links back to the moment it was said.
  5. Sign off. Named people approve the exact wording, and Quotem records it.
