Plaud, the company behind an AI wearable that actually works, is launching an upgraded version of its credit card-sized note-taking device. Just like its Plaud Note predecessor, the Plaud Note Pro uses AI to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, but it now comes with two additional microphones that allow it to pick up audio within a 16.4-foot area, along with a 1-inch display that shows battery level, recording status, and the current recording mode. The Plaud Note Pro automatically switches between recording calls and in-person meetings, eliminating the need for the physical toggle on the original Plaud Note released in 2023. There’s also a new “endurance” battery mode that extends the Plaud Note Pro’s 30 hours of recording to 50 hours, in exchange for a lower 9.8-foot audio pickup range that comes with the base Note. You can view the AI-generated recordings, transcriptions, and summaries in the accompanying Plaud app.
