For hosts

You’re a host if you set up a project, invite people to speak, and turn what they said into something the room can act on. Most people in the dembrane dashboard are hosts. You don’t need to be technical - if you can run a meeting, you can host a dembrane project.

In the roles model a host is usually a workspace owner, admin, or member. Owners and admins can do everything; members can create and edit projects, read and delete conversations, chat, and build reports, but can’t delete projects, invite people, or change settings.

The journey: collect, understand, share#

Almost everything you do falls into three movements.

Collect. Create a project (one per question, event, or cohort), set up its portal, and share a QR code or link so people can record. There are several ways to collect - the portal, recording yourself, uploading text you already have, or recording on your phone with dembrane Go.

Understand. Audio transcribes automatically and gets a summary. Read and organise what comes in, then Ask questions across a set of conversations and get answers with sources. On a Changemaker workspace or above, the library pulls out topics and quotes for you.

Share. Build and publish a report, or export transcripts and spreadsheets.

Remember the throughline: people know how. Summaries and reports point you at what’s worth reading - the judgement stays yours.
