Following the release of an outstanding (and fairly famous on TikTok) AI-powered voice recorder, Plaud is introducing a more ambitious device: a wearable that is meant to be with you always, capturing meetings and notes while assisting you in getting things done.
The NotePin is a pill-shaped gadget and accessory line that appears to draw some inspiration from the original Fitbits. The NotePin can be clipped almost anywhere, worn as a necklace around your neck, or pinned to your chest or wrist.
These days, wearable AI devices are commonplace and mostly belong to one of two categories. There are technologies designed to foster camaraderie, such as Friend, which serves as someone to chat and hang out with. Then there are the productivity tools, such as Limitless, which are meant to be functional rather than entertaining.

Plaud is marketing the NotePin as a tool to record, condense, and extract action items from everything that occurs in your life, and it is very much in the second camp. According to the firm, its battery can record continuously for up to 20 hours, but Plaud doesn’t want you to leave it that way. For one thing, you have to press the gadget to begin recording, rather than just setting it and forgetting it.
For consumers and the general public, this is appropriate user interface design (UI) and privacy practice; these devices pose complex problems about who consents to be recorded, and requiring manual action at least partially addresses the issue.
One of the better AI voice note tools available is Plaud’s first product, the Note voice recorder. The Note is designed to be attached to the back of your phone, allowing you to take voice notes or phone conversations, which it will then automatically summarize and transcribe.

While Plaud’s app is a little disorganized, the fundamental technology functions fairly well. The primary enhancement of the NotePin is its form factor; Plaud hopes that by moving the device from your pocket onto your body, you’ll find more uses for it.
The NotePin costs $169, while Plaud’s AI features cost $79 a year for more sophisticated services like speaker labeling and summary templates, and are free for very basic purposes. (Anyone interested in purchasing this item will likely seek the advantages.)
The AI explosion seems to indicate that many more people will start recording much more of their lives, and it will be up to Plaud and its competitors to find out what to do with all that data. In the end, the software will be what matters. Although having a perfect recall is appealing, it’s quite difficult to achieve.
