San Francisco, October 9, 2025 — Plaud Inc. today officially launches Plaud Intelligence 3.0 on both its App and Web portals. The next evolution of professional note-taking integrates multimodal capture, contextual AI, multidimensional summaries, and more—pioneering how conversation intelligence is amplified.
One of the revolutionary features released is Press to highlight. With a short press on a Plaud device or a tap in Plaud App, Plaud marks the moment instantly, signaling to AI what matters most and achieving real-time human–AI alignment so insights remain accurate, actionable, and aligned with your intent.
Conversation intelligence was poorly utilized
A large part of work nowadays happens through conversation. Conversation is the most human, powerful form of expression.
It might be a key comment in a meeting, a moment of clarity during a client call, or an idea sparked during a discussion. These moments carry real value. You contribute, listen, and do your best to carry them forward.
But they’re easy to forget, hard to revisit, and rarely written down. What’s lost isn’t just information; it’s understanding: the intent behind a decision, the nuance in a question, and the quick alignment that happens in real time.
Too often, the intelligence sparked in our minds never gets captured, understood, or turned into action.
The ideation of Plaud Intelligence
Plaud’s philosophy is to pursue the frontier of intelligence through the combination of hardware and software.
Plaud believes that conversation is a form of intelligence. It’s where ideas begin, decisions are made, and meaning is shared. Conversations are projections of how intelligence perceives and understands the world. Yet historically, the intelligence embedded in conversations has never been well captured or structured—and therefore could not be used.
For the first time, AI can truly understand human language. The intelligence hidden in conversations can now be captured, extracted, and utilized—fundamentally transforming how people work, especially for those who create and deliver value mostly through conversations—executives, salespeople, clinicians, lawyers, consultants, educators, content creators, etc.
Plaud isn’t just another tool. It’s a movement for intelligence empowerment to turn conversations into actionable insights and seamless workflows.
Plaud Intelligence 3.0 empowers sensor-enabled real-time human–AI alignment
Plaud Intelligence 3.0 delivers a leap forward—transforming fleeting conversations into compound intelligence through the combination of hardware and software. With this new release, professionals experience a true upgrade: moving from basic recording, transcripts, and summaries to multimodal capture, contextual extract, and powerful utilization.
Capture
From audio capture to multimodal input. One long-press to record audio, a short-press or tap to highlight, input text to add context, and even enrich conversations with images. What once required multiple tools is now unified in one simple, fluid motion.
Extract
From over 3,000 summary templates to contextual multidimensional summaries. With 360° View, a single conversation generates multiple summaries tailored to every role—action items for sales, data and insights for managers, and strategic overviews for leadership. Auto-Generation adapts seamlessly to meeting templates, languages, speaker labels, and custom vocabulary.
Utilize
From Ask AI to reference-based Ask Plaud. Instead of generic responses, every answer is linked to the source. Save an answer as a note, follow smart suggestions to go deeper, or use global search to ask across files. Each question leads to clarity you can trust.
Users can now experience Plaud Intelligence through both the Plaud App and Web.
Pursuing the frontier of intelligence
Plaud sets the standard for amplifying your intelligence. Plaud’s vision is to build the next generation of intelligence infrastructure and interface to capture, extract, and utilize intelligence from what you say, hear, see, and think.
