PLAUD AI

PLAUD AI is an AI calls tool. Plaud Desktop records Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and other online calls directly from your computer, with no bot joining the meeting. Audio, typed notes, flagged moments and slide screenshots feed Plaud's AI, which transcribes in 112 languages and generates tailored summaries, searchable answers and automated delivery through AutoFlow.

Plaud Desktop is the software half of the Plaud ecosystem, a note-taking platform that the company bills as the world's number one AI note-taking brand, used by more than three million professionals. The desktop app records online meetings natively from your own machine instead of sending a bot into the call. It watches for a meeting to begin in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or other conferencing software, then captures system and microphone audio locally, which means headphones do not block the recording and participants never see an unfamiliar guest on the roster. What happens after capture is the real product. Recordings route into Plaud Intelligence, which transcribes speech in 112 languages with speaker labels and custom vocabulary, then produces multidimensional summaries angled to your role and workflow. You can type notes during the call, tap to flag key audio moments, and snap screenshots of slides or diagrams; all three feed into the AI's context so the summary reflects what you considered important, not just what was said. Ask Plaud answers questions across your stored files with references, and AutoFlow chains transcription, summarization and delivery into a workflow that runs unattended. Plaud Desktop is aimed at knowledge workers who live in back-to-back calls: sales teams logging discovery sessions, consultants drafting client recaps, project leads tracking decisions and action items. Output can be shared in a few clicks, exported in more than 27 formats, or pushed to other tools through Zapier. Plaud also sells hardware recorders (Note Pro, NotePin, NotePin S) for in-person conversations and phone calls, so the desktop client is one capture surface in a wider workspace rather than a standalone app. Against bot-based assistants such as the standard meeting notetakers, the appeal is discretion and control: you decide whether recording starts automatically, after a prompt, or manually. Plaud states compliance with ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA and EN 18031, and syncs recordings to a private cloud workspace. The homepage labels the desktop client a beta and asks users to obtain participant consent where the law requires it, a fair reminder that ambient capture shifts the compliance burden onto you.
