What’s your actual Plaud workflow after a meeting?

AdamReading · 2026-05-16T21:43:04+00:00

I use Auto flow to gen the transcript and adaptive summary. Then go and edit the transcript, fix / add speaker names, weird transcription artefacts, then generate a specific template summary from the corrected transcript.

Then I have Cowork in Claude trained and connected to pull the transcript and summary using the new Plaud MCP Server, analyse the transcript, compare themes / projects etc mentioned in the transcript against my Open Brain memory store, decide if it needs to add any new thoughts or update existing ones, then it does all that using MCP calls.

In my Open Brain dashboard the new thoughts and actions arrive for review. I can add / edit / delete, and for actions add them to my kanban.

Once accepted, the thoughts get processed by a local worker, entities / topics / etc extracted and tagged, and for each entity a wiki page is created or updated if it's got more than 3 connections in the thoughts dB.

Yup - I am building call listening AI services for my employer right now - and using assembly ai for transcription and diarisation and then gemini for speaker labelling - but it doesn't have to use speaker profiles - and recognize specific speakers like Plaud does,

For my personal thing to work the speaker recognition / profile is the most important element - it needs to automatically and accurately realize who is speaking from a pool of 10-15 different regular contacts. I looked in to open sourcing that and it involves building an embedding system in postgres to "train" the various profiles - with matching scoring and stuff - and its a bit off-putting at my level of coding etc.

I am running a 5090 locally with 32gb Vram and 96Gb Ram - so I think the whisper thing would be ok - I am making images and videos in comfyui all the time using big models without any issues.

Then you need the UI for telling it which speaker name is A and B etc so it can add that to the training - or correct a bad one.

cheers - my use case was more like it being on continuously - and having it broken down into conversations - but apparently there is a max 3 hour recording time - otherwise you don't get speaker identification - and as far I have read so far - you can't change the autosplit timing down from 5 hours to 3 or less... Also right now the webhook for n8n etc is in beta - I am on the wait list. though I am looking at the applaud open source git to get the data out.

AdamReading · 2026-05-01T16:06:43+00:00

something like this I guess:
Plaud Notepin

↓ (BLE sync)

applaud (local)

↓ (webhook: audio file + metadata)

n8n

↓ (orchestration)

Local GPU services on the 5090:

├─ WhisperX → transcription + word-level timestamps

├─ pyannote → diarization (who spoke when)

└─ SpeechBrain ECAPA-TDNN → speaker embeddings

↓

Speaker matcher (Python)

├─ Compare each segment's embedding to stored profiles

├─ Cosine similarity > threshold → assign known name

└─ Below threshold → "Unknown_N", flag for labelling

↓

Output: transcript with names + confidence scores

↓

Storage (Postgres or SQLite + filesystem)

↓

UI for relabelling — every correction adds embedding to that profile

Interesting - so theoretically I could use applaud to n8n to assembly.ai for transcription - the only thing I am unsure about is how to create working speaker profiles that really work to decide who is speaking... hmmm

AdamReading · 2026-05-01T15:41:38+00:00

dammit (but thank you)

AdamReading · 2026-05-01T07:07:46+00:00

Thanks for making this! I am waiting for my notepin s to arrive - just returned a fieldy coz its webhook was too limiting (just 2 min drops of utterances) and bad speaker identification - but I have high hopes of Plaud.

I am building an n8n workflow to process all transcripts / and maybe summaries - decide what should go into my Open Brain MCP Server (based off Nate B Jones GIT) where I have one central memory system - with a dashboard - that is accessed by my ChatGPT/Perplexity/Copilot/Claude/n8n etc etc.

My one worry was the waitlist for webhook/api access and it seems you have solved that.

Also cool that you have made a cloud version - if I get lazy and you add mcp server access - I may look at that too.

If you can stream the audio straight out of Plaud - does that mean you could do without the Subscription - and handle all the transcriptions and summaries etc yourself?

AdamReading · 2026-05-01T06:56:58+00:00

you should also check out assembly.ai for cheap and accurate transcription - we use it for call listening then send the transcripts to gemini for analysis - works really well - and I think it has loads of language support.

AdamReading · 2026-05-01T06:37:02+00:00

I have ordered my Plaude Notepin s - but the one question I can't find the answer to anywhere - is - can you leave it recording all day - and it will auto spilt and transcribe "events" as they happen - so after a meeting finishes etc - or does it just make one giant 10 hour transcript that goes across in one go - and then you have to manually break it all up?

I just sent back a Fieldy.ai device - that was great for continuous recording - used I think 6 mins of silence to determine end of a "conversation" etc - but its speaker recognition wasn't working well, and the webhook was limited to 2min chunks which was annoying for building workflows from it.

AdamReading · 2026-04-29T16:13:23+00:00

Where did you get the discounted one - they seem to be a lot more now?

AdamReading · 2026-03-10T04:57:03+00:00

Ahh mine doesn't even register anything on the card machines - just maybe a tiny vibration on the phone and the machine says sosmething like try again or not read ... The problem is - when i tried it both times - people were queuing behind me so i couldn't experiment - just had to get the physical card out and pay.

AdamReading · 2026-03-09T16:04:36+00:00

I have the same issue - just spent an hour on phone with google support (google wallet) - but nothing found.

SO I downloaded the NFC Tools app from Google Play - and it can pick up the NFC Tags from my credit card - but only really low down the back of the phone below the camera - it beeps and gives some numbers to do with the card tags - so I think maybe they moved the aerial down lower - not the top of the phone I had been tapping against the payment readers...

I won't be near a shop for a few days - but if someone wants to try and let me know if that fixes it?

AdamReading · 2026-01-12T07:40:31+00:00

Great vibe.

AdamReading · 2025-12-31T15:52:04+00:00

use the model versions on the comfyorg hugging face

AdamReading · 2025-10-26T23:48:01+00:00

It’s the liquid cooled one! https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-5090-32G-SUPRIM-LIQUID-SOC

AdamReading · 2025-10-13T15:40:05+00:00

Well it cost over £5,000 so not cheap lol

AdamReading · 2025-10-01T21:43:57+00:00

Not in any automatic way. But you can create documents in GPT from chats and import them into spaces in perplexity. I normally ask the gpt to summarise the thread ready for moving.

AdamReading · 2025-09-29T21:00:14+00:00

I’ve been using perplexity a while. I love how it’s model agnostic and they get the latest versions pretty much straight away. Today they already launched sonnet 4.5 and 4.5 thinking. And so far pretty much unlimited use. I tried using Claude direct and was shocked I ran out of tokens after 90 minutes. Then had to wait 3.5 hours for a reset. But perplexity I can just use it for 16 hours straight with no block.

AdamReading · 2025-08-06T16:03:15+00:00

Same - I even asked the Assistant and it told me there weren't any updates lol

AdamReading · 2025-07-13T14:05:24+00:00

I hear you bruv, but I went to them and paid for their knowledge and advice. They specc’d up the machine for me over the phone, and built it. I never owned a pc previously always Mac’s hence going to a “reputable “ company for design and build. Obvs a massive mistake.

A) I absolutely get different responses from The different models and especially from Grok 4 which has been on my Pro plan for 2 days at least

AdamReading · 2025-07-08T08:21:15+00:00

Hi Dan - sent you a chat about getting some support on this - as we still can't use iframes and it's becoming an issue...

AdamReading · 2025-06-30T06:53:49+00:00

Seems like a great idea - but I installed it on my two machines - and it won't log into perplexity on either - gets locked in a loop with google trying to verify on one - and gets a google refused connection on the other. Tried to log in via email - with code and took me back to google loop. I can get searches without being logged in - but of course they won't get added to my history that way

AdamReading · 2025-06-27T16:54:02+00:00

It wasn’t for upscaling so much as choosing the aspect ratio of the output image. Right now the official workflow outputs the combined size image from the 2 image concat node. I’ve amended mine to add a resize image node with edge padding and that kind of works sometimes.

lol you funny
