The Plaud recorder and this app have in tandem changed the way I get my thoughts from my brain into reality. I occasionally use it for meetings and phone calls as it is mostly advertised, but the vast majority of use is completely personal. The ability to start recording with the start of a physical button and have it be transcribed and summarized by AI is something I have BEGGED for constantly over the last decade. This is without a doubt the best product I have ever encountered for that purpose. Let me be clear. There are some issues with Plaud. The cost is quite high. The charger is obscure and hard to source if lost. It sometimes takes a couple tries to get recordings going. But as a whole, if you are like me and desperate to get fleeting thoughts from your head into your phone with as little friction as possible, there is simply nothing superior to Plaud available. I hope to see updates in the future which improve the software, firmware, and app-side of this tool. Until then, I will be a power user of this life-changing resource.
Not worth nearly $400

Plaud AI tells me that it cannot turn things into docs, thinks a “printable format” for a list is a wall of plain text, and will not integrate with anything, it also said it could not save our text thread to one of the folders in the app or save it as a note, it said it did not know contact info for Plaud customer service or how to get a refund. It told me that it is a Google AI even though it will not integrate with any google products like I need. It told me to contact my “service provider” regarding refund requests, very confusing. It seemed to not know who/what Plaud is when it is labeled as Plaud AI. On transcription summary notes where I did a “brain dump” talking to myself to make a to do list while driving it seemed to think “Plaud” was another person I was speaking to and seemed concerned that this Plaud person didn’t know I was recording. I could have just gotten a cheap little voice recorder and input recordings into ChatGPT. That would be about 10% of the cost I paid Plaud and provide a better product. ChatGPT creates printable documents and ics calendar files for me for free. Plaud used false and misleading advertising that their system integrates with many things. It doesn’t. It is a voice recorder with transcription. That tech has been around for a long time. Audio transcription tech can be found for free. The AI summaries can be done for free with several different language learning AI. Gemini isn’t even the best one imo and that is what Plaud AI seems to be. Just buy a voice recorder, save 90%, and get better quality results.
Developer Response
Dear SunnyTea4me， We regret to hear about your experience using Ask Plaud. I understand the frustration on using our AI function with limited capabilities. We wish to take this opportunity to share that Ask Plaud is designed for you to interact with your notes to ask questions, extract insights, generate content and guide you on the next follow-up actions. Hence, it is only equipped to answer any questions relating to the notes you have taken. At this moment, it is unable to process instructions to take action on your files or answer your questions outside what was taken for your notes. Ask Plaud is currently still in its Beta stage and we are continuously testing and improving its response quality and its capability. We are extremely grateful for your feedback as it guides us on how we can improve this feature further.
More than a note taker

Plaud quickly synthesizes input into smart, organized, and useful formats. For client consultations, I get a thorough record of our discussion, which easily translates into a scope of work, saving me at least 15 minutes each time versus manually creating scope. Plus the benefit of not missing anything and shown as described by the client. This, rather than translating what I think I hear once while taking notes, and again when transferring those notes.Additionally, there is a summary that is more internal, looking through a lens of an experienced, quality vendor. In this section, more AI is used to actually understand, whether that’s an emphasis on long term value, balancing client preferences, or project management suggestions. The other feature I like is the mind map. It’s like an outline of thought but organized into thoughtful categories, sort of like a bubble chart put into a hierarchical format. It’s totally fascinating. Always works. Easy to use. Super thin. Very happy with my purchase.
When I Think of Value, I Think of Plaud

They don’t pay me to say that, but if they understood just how much I love and talk about this product, they would.I don’t know if you’ve ever hit a creative problem where you ran out of frameworks to solve it with, but if you have, then you know what happens next. That’s usually the point where you have to write it out or talk it out. And I love writing, but I’ve got big ideas and a previously traumatized ADHD monkey riding my back.No one will ever understand you like you do. PLAUD gives me what no other person can right now: a space to speak without trying to hold every detail in my head. And it has the added benefit of transcribing, summarizing, and grouping everything, so I finally have handles on what I’m even trying to say.I’m sure it’s useful for business meetings, but I don’t have those. What I do have are a lot of other very real problems that need the same “come together” process, even if it’s usually just me talking to me. But other people noticed the conversation and got involved too, and now it’s turning into something new. Great product. Can’t say enough good things about the NotePin. If you get it and feel like you have nothing to talk about, look up writing prompts and talk it out. Just let yourself speak without judgment and see where it goes. “What would I be if I stopped defending the version of me that got here.” Great entry point for my fellow masters of sarcasm.
