Overview
What is Plaud?
Plaud is an AI hardware voice recorder paired with AI transcription and summaries, used by founders, knowledge workers, and meeting heavy professionals to capture audio through a small physical recorder device, generate AI transcripts, and surface AI summaries across the recording productivity program, with AI features paired across the Plaud Note hardware device that the team has built around hardware AI recording for several years across global customer teams today.
Plaud fits founders, knowledge workers, and meeting heavy professionals that want a hardware AI voice recorder with paired AI transcription and summary features, rather than a software only meeting assistant without a physical recording device across the recording program at scale today across global productivity markets. Smaller public review base relative to software only meeting assistants. Pricing combines a hardware purchase with free and published paid AI service tiers today.
