Plaud launches Team UK workspace for business notes

Plaud has launched Plaud Team in the UK, a collaborative workspace for managing meeting notes across organisations.

The launch expands the company beyond individual AI note-taking into team-wide knowledge sharing. Plaud says it now has more than 2 million users globally, ranging from start-ups to large corporates.

Plaud Team is designed to collect notes, summaries and action points from in-person meetings, phone calls and online discussions in a central workspace. Businesses can deploy it across multiple devices and manage users, billing and workspace controls from one place.

The move comes as companies look for ways to retain internal knowledge and cut the time staff spend searching for information. Plaud presents the product as a way to keep a record of discussions that might otherwise be scattered across notebooks, emails and different software tools.

The platform also includes controls that let individuals decide what information is shared with a wider team and what remains private. Plaud says the service uses encryption for data in transit and at rest, while its AI workflows operate with zero data retention and no training by default.

Regional cloud hosting is available in the United States, Europe, Singapore and Japan. Plaud says the product is built on the same privacy and security framework used across its wider business.

Nathan Xu, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Plaud, said the company built the new workspace around the idea that important business thinking often happens in spoken exchanges rather than formal documents.

"Most of the important thinking happens before anything gets written down. It happens in conversations - when people are testing ideas, making sense of problems, and figuring out what to do next. Plaud Team is built to help teams keep that context and build from it. Companies don't run on documents, they run on people, on conversation," said Nathan Xu, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Plaud.

Pricing model

In the UK, Plaud Team starts at £16.00 per user a month on annual billing under an early bird offer, rising to £20.00 at list price. On monthly billing, the early bird price is £25.00 per user a month, compared with a standard rate of £31.50.

The product gives Plaud a route into company-wide subscriptions as businesses look to standardise note-taking tools across departments. It also reflects growing demand among software vendors to turn individual productivity applications into broader workplace systems that can store and organise internal knowledge.

Plaud says adoption of its note-taking tools has spread organically within businesses, creating demand for a more centralised approach rather than separate accounts and devices for individual workers. The company is positioning the team product as a way to structure information generated through day-to-day discussions without adding another layer of manual documentation.

The issue has become more pressing for employers trying to maintain continuity when staff are absent or leave a business. Notes and decisions captured in separate inboxes and personal files can be difficult for colleagues to retrieve later, particularly when the reasoning behind decisions was discussed verbally rather than recorded formally.

The UK launch places Plaud in a market where businesses are weighing the usefulness of AI-based workplace tools against concerns over privacy, control and governance. By stressing encryption, regional hosting and limited data retention, Plaud is addressing questions that often shape purchasing decisions for software used in meetings and calls.

Plaud says Plaud Team extends its existing offering from individual users to teams and organisations, with an emphasis on central administration and shared access to conversation records. The product is intended to give businesses a more structured way to use AI note-taking across groups without adding extra administrative work or digital clutter.

Plaud says it complies with ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA and EN 18031 standards and frameworks. It describes privacy and confidentiality as central to the design of the new team workspace.
