Additionally, Plaud Group has announced that it has raised funds from the venture investment fund Carbide Venture.
A video message has been received from general partner Yoshikawa Yuku.
The main reason we decided to invest in Plaud AI is the overwhelming quality of our company’s team, the strong will to “become a leader in the global market” since its founding, and the fact that everyone works together.
The execution power of engineering and to-market is comparable to the execution power of Silicon Valley’s top-tier companies. I also felt a great future potential in the fact that not only the founders but the entire team share the same vision.
It also fully supports the growth and global expansion of Plaud AI.
Miyoko Omomo, talent, actress and agricultural journalist, talks about the appeal of admiration.

Finally, Miyano, a talent, actress and agricultural journalist, took the stage as a guest speaker.
As a complimentary user, she spoke about why she started using it and the appeal of the product.
– Why did you start using the product?
Around August 2024, I was in the important job of going to an international conference in Switzerland, but I was very worried about whether I could properly listen to my speeches in English and German and take the information back to Japan.
I was also researching smartphone apps and other things, and then I came across Plaud Note.
At the time it didn’t have a translation function so I take the recorded transcript data to the translation website…but my fellow journalists were surprised and asked, “This is amazing! How did you do that?”
Since then, I have been an avid user for about a year.
– What situations do you normally use?
Mainly to create meetings.
It even records who spoke, and the smooth flow from audio data to summarization and mind mapping is fascinating.
-Has your work changed due to plum products?
Significant! It especially saved me time.
In fact, I do something like coaching, and I think it’s the same for counselors, but clients often ask for a “summary” after the session is over.
In such cases, using Plaud.AI will provide not only transcription but also summary.
– Work efficiency has improved compared to before
That’s right.
Media experts may understand this, but if you focus too much on taking notes during an interview, everything else will be ignored, right?
Instead, we will leave the statement to plaud.ai. I think that by paying more attention to subtle facial expressions, casual gestures, and attitudes, we humans can understand a person’s true intentions.
I think it’s important that using a great device allows you to devote your efforts to other, more important things.
