Here’s how I read these two lines. They don’t show how many people search, only when interest rose and fell. Worldwide, it peaked in September 2025 and sits at 65 now, lower than a year ago. In the US it’s lower than a year ago. When you see a sharp spike, think news story, not new customers. The baseline between the spikes is the demand I actually care about.

This is the number I’d plan with: September 2026 had 27,100 US searches, about the same as in October 2025. Google Ads rounds these figures into steps, so a small move from one month to the next usually means nothing.

The biggest related search is “ai meeting assistant”, at 8,100 searches a month worldwide. Rising fastest next to it on Google Trends: “plaud note pro”, “plaud ai note taker” and “plaud”. A sudden riser is usually news, not lasting demand.
