Article Summary

Plaud.ai has unveiled its latest iteration of its AI-powered notetaker, the ‘Note Pro’, designed to enhance productivity for meetings and calls. Priced at $179, the device builds upon the original ‘Plaud Note’ and the previously released ‘Plaud AI Pin’, offering significant improvements in both hardware and software. The most notable upgrade is a new 0.95-inch AMOLED screen, displaying information like recording status and battery levels. The Note Pro boasts a 30-hour recording capacity, expandable to 50 hours with a reduced range, thanks to four MEMS microphones – a significant increase from the previous two. Plaud.ai emphasizes improved noise suppression and speaker detection capabilities. The device also includes an auto-detection feature for seamlessly switching between call and in-person recording modes. Furthermore, a beta feature allows users to query their notes, and the company is providing templates for multi-dimensional summaries generated in various formats. Plaud.ai is betting on the continued success of its product with preorders slated for October 2025, offering pre-ordering customers 600 complimentary transcription minutes. The company has already shipped over a million units of its AI hardware notetakers, and nearly 50% of users have upgraded to the Pro plan.

Key Points

  • The Plaud Note Pro features a new 0.95-inch AMOLED screen for displaying information like recording status and battery levels.
  • The device offers a 30-hour recording capacity, expandable to 50 hours with a reduced range, leveraging four MEMS microphones.
  • Plaud.ai’s ‘Note Pro’ incorporates an auto-detection feature for seamless switching between call and in-person recording modes and offers multi-dimensional summaries.

Why It Matters

The Plaud Note Pro represents a continued effort by a company that has been quietly successful in the AI hardware space, differentiating itself from the more heavily hyped competitors like Amazon’s Bee and Friend. This device caters to a growing need for practical, AI-powered tools for note-taking and meeting productivity, and highlights the evolving landscape of AI hardware beyond large language models. It’s a sign of a more mature market, with companies focused on providing tangible value to users, and a potential early indicator of success for companies operating outside the intense spotlight of major tech firms.
