Plaud AI

A creator partnership and editorial workflow story showing how I use Plaud to stay present in interviews without losing the moments that shape the story.

The challenge

Editorial interviews move fast. The strongest quote, shift in tone or unexpected idea can disappear when attention is split between listening and documenting.

The insight

The technology is most useful when it protects attention rather than competing for it. The value is not automatic content creation; it is preserving the source material so human judgment can stay focused on the conversation.

The idea

I integrated Plaud into my LIVID interview workflow, using captured conversations and highlights to create a more reliable path from live discussion to editorial development. The partnership expanded into branded social content, video and a Plaud user story about the workflow.

The result

Plaud featured my process in its official user-story platform, connecting the product to a real media workflow centered on listening, editorial judgment and story development.
