At TURTZED, we use Plaud.ai as a way to capture conversations without adding more work to our plate. It’s become one of those tools that quietly supports better execution by removing the need to remember everything or manually document every discussion.
As our workload grew, conversations became one of the biggest sources of lost information. Strategy calls, planning sessions, client discussions, valuable context was being shared, but not always documented clearly or consistently. Plaud.ai helped solve that by turning conversations into organized, usable information without disrupting how we work.
What Is Plaud.ai?
Plaud.ai is a compact, AI-powered recording device designed to capture conversations and turn them into clean transcripts and summaries.
It exists to solve a simple but persistent problem: important conversations move fast, and taking good notes in real time isn’t always realistic. Instead of juggling note apps, recordings, and follow-ups, This handles the capture automatically and organizes everything afterward.
What makes it practical for real-world use is how little effort it requires. There’s no complicated setup and no constant interaction. You record the conversation, and Plaud.ai does the rest in the background.
Why Plaud.ai?
We started using tools like Plaud.ai because conversations were becoming a bottleneck.
Important decisions were being made in meetings, but follow-through depended on memory, scattered notes, or someone manually summarizing afterward. That created friction — and sometimes missed details.
We didn’t want another system to manage. We wanted something that could quietly do its job and give us clarity after the fact.
Plaud.ai fits naturally into our workflow. We use it during meetings, strategy sessions, and planning calls, then rely on the summaries to guide next steps or delegate work.
What works well:
- Captures conversations without disrupting the flow
- Reduces the need for manual note-taking
- Creates clear records that can be reused or delegated
- Fits into both in-person and remote workflows
- Saves time after meetings, not during them
Best Practices for Using Plaud.ai Effectively
Plaud.ai works best when used as a support tool — not a replacement for thinking or decision-making.
We’ve found the most value comes from using it consistently for:
- Strategy discussions
- Planning sessions
- Client or team calls
- Any conversation that leads to action
The real benefit comes after the conversation. Having a clear summary makes it easier to assign tasks, revisit decisions, and maintain alignment over time.
Used intentionally, it becomes a running archive of context instead of just a recording tool.
