The context you give Plaud Agent decides how fast and how focused its work is. Give it anything, and get a real file back.
Context for tasks works in Ask Plaud's Work mode, which uses Plaud Credits.
What counts as context?
Context is the material Plaud Agent works from. In the new Plaud Mobile App that can be:
- Your recordings: one file, several files, or the results of a search.
- A folder: Plaud Agent uses only the files inside it.
- Uploaded files: PDFs and other documents you add to the conversation.
- Connected tools: content Plaud Agent reads through Connectors, with your permission. See Connectors and permissions.
Why scope your context?
Plaud Agent can search your whole account for the right files, but a scoped task is faster and more precise, and avoids pulling in unrelated content. Pick the smallest context that covers the job:
- One file: questions about a single meeting.
- A handful of files: combining sources into one deliverable, such as two interviews plus a report.
- A folder: recurring work that always draws on the same project, such as a folder per client.
How to set context for a task?
- Start a new conversation in Ask Plaud, switch to Work, and tap the + button next to the input box.
- In the Add content sheet, choose Add from Plaud to pick your recordings, notes, or folders, or add outside material with Photos, Camera, or Upload. The same sheet also offers Use a skill. See Skills: save your workflows for reuse.
- State what you want delivered. Plaud Agent confirms which sources it used in its reply.
FAQ about context
What if I don't attach anything?
Plaud Agent finds relevant files across your account on its own. It works, but takes longer than a scoped task.
Can Plaud Agent use my Plaud Team workspace files?
No. Plaud Agent works with your personal content only; Plaud Team workspace files aren't available as context.
Does context work the same on Plaud Web?
Yes. See Choose the right context for an Agent task on Plaud Web for the Web-side flow.
