A method for automatically generating a document by capturing content of a conversation among users over a network, the method comprising:

creating a contact associated with the conversation, wherein the conversation is a direct conversation among the users and the users collaborate during the conversation, and wherein the contact is used as a non-user to passively capture content from the conversation;
associating the contact with the conversation and with at least one document;
receiving a content of the conversation, wherein the content of the conversation comprises one or more indications by at least one of the users collaborating in the direct conversation as highly relevant to a topic of the at least one document;
based on relevance of the conversation to the at least one document, automatically identifying the content of the conversation for inclusion in the at least one document;
and
automatically transferring the identified content to the at least one document.

A system for automatically generating a document by passively capturing content of a conversation among users over a network, the system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to execute a method that comprises:
creating a contact associated with the conversation, wherein the conversation is a direct conversation among the users and the users collaborate during the conversation, and wherein the contact is used as a non-user to passively capture content from the conversation;
associating the contact with the conversation and with at least one document;
receiving a content of the conversation, wherein the content of the conversation comprises one or more indications by at least one of the users collaborating in the direct conversation as highly relevant to a topic of the at least one document;
based on relevance of the received content of the conversation to the at least one document, automatically identifying the content of the conversation for inclusion in the at least one document;
and
