This AI note taker is the size of a credit card and can record for days

"Plaud.ai has become well-known for its AI note-taking devices, which upgrade the classic voice recorder with a light form factor and AI to boost users' productivity. The company is now adding to its lineup with the Plaud Note Pro, which it calls its "most advanced and versatile" notetaker yet. ZDNET's Jack Wallen tested its predecessor, the Plaud Note, and found it useful in his daily life, even claiming he was "absolutely sold.""

"The Note Pro maintains the same aesthetic as the Plaud Note, which is about the size of an aluminum credit card, making it easy to take with you everywhere you go. Hardware updates include two additional microphones with a 5-meter range to pick up more audio more accurately and Apple Find My compatibility. A magnetic case is also available to attach the Note Pro to the back of your phone."

"Also: I retested GPT-5's coding skills using OpenAI's guidance - and now I trust it even less This type of omniscient AI assistant in hardware is becoming a more common trend in the industry. For example, the Bee Wearable is also equipped with mics and AI and meant to be worn at all times to provide helpful actions such as transcribing interactions and allowing you to conversationally search them. Brilliant Labs' Halo smart glasses can also remember your day's interactions with a 14-hour battery life."

Plaud.ai introduced the Note Pro, an ultra-thin, aluminum-wrapped AI note-taking device priced at $179 and available for preorder starting Aug. 27. The device upgrades traditional voice recorders with onboard AI to enhance productivity and offers an aluminum credit-card-sized form factor for portability. Hardware improvements include two additional microphones with a 5-meter range, Apple Find My compatibility, and an optional magnetic case for phone attachment. Software capabilities center on Plaud App 3.0, which enables listening, transcription, and personalized experiences that improve as more data is collected. Competing wearable AI notetakers and smart glasses offer similar always-on audio and memory features.
