Plaud

Plaud is the AI note-taking brand of Plaud Inc., a Delaware-incorporated, San Francisco-based company building an AI work companion that captures conversation and turns it into notes, summaries and follow-up actions. It reports more than 2,000,000 users worldwide since 2023 and frames its mission as amplifying human intelligence.
