Hardware company Plaud.ai has released its new physical notetaker, The Plaud Ai Pro, Wednesday. The Notetaker, Price for $ 179, comes two years after the original plaud -note was released and a year after the company released an AI -PIN.
For people who haven’t seen one, Plaud-Note is a credit card size hardware notes that can stay on the back of your phone and help you note for calls or personal meetings.
The Note Pro looks like the original note, but there is a big difference. The new device has a small 0.95-inch AMOLED screen showing information such as a recording indicator and battery level.
Note Pro offers a 30-hour recording capacity for the standard area. But you can push the device to record for 50 hours with a shorter range of 9.8 feet (almost 3 meters) on a single charge.
The company said Note Pro has four MEMs (microeltro-mechanical systems) MICs compared to two on the last gene device to better catch sound. Because of this, Note Pro can capture sound within the area 16.4 feet (almost 5 meters), resulting in a 2x jump in reach from the original Note Pro. The startup said that users also get better noise oppression and speaker detection with the new device.
While manually switching between calls and personal recording on the original note, Note Pro uses an autodetection feature for this.
Plaud.ai also updates its accompanying app with new features. You can take notes in text on your phone – like Granola – and add images, like slides.
The app update also offers “multidimensional summary” which allows you to extract insight into various formats, such as key insights or data elements. The company built templates for summary generation and the app can automatically suggest the right one based on your role. Plus, you can build your own templates.
Another new feature, still in beta, allows you to ask your notes.
Plaud Note Pro is price for $ 179 / £ 169 and users can pre -order the device starting today, with shipping intended for October 2025. The company said people who pre -order the device get 600 free transcription minutes along with a magnetic case. Users can get 300 minutes of monthly transcription for free, and if they want more, they have to buy a paid monthly plan or a one -time information.
Plaud is one of the companies that has been successful when other AI device manufacturers have not had much popularity. Exor-backed Bee was acquired by Amazon and friend just started sending after a few delays.
Plaud said it has sent over a million units of its AI -hardware notes, with almost 50% users upgrading to the Pro plan.
