Powered by artificial intelligence, the tiny new Plaud NotePin wearable records, transcribes and summarizes meetings and events to help you manage tasks at work, school or home, Plaud.AI said Wednesday. The company described the pill-shaped device, which you can wear on a necklace, wristband, clip or pin, as a “memory capsule.”
“Plaud NotePin is more than just an AI device,” said Nathan Hsu, CEO and Co-founder at Plaud.AI. “It’s your always-ready business partner, handling mundane, daily tasks so you can concentrate on what truly drives value in your life and career. This small but powerful device is reshaping the professional landscape, allowing users to optimize their day-to-day workflow and focus on what matters most.”

So while you’re gearing up to take full advantage of Apple Intelligence, here’s another way to get more AI in your life. And maybe folks will find it cooler and more-useful than the poorly received Humane AI Pin. Plaud.AI said it designed the thin and light NotePin as an advanced AI note-taking device to help manage tasks and productivity. With a tap, it records everything. And it can transcribe and summarize information. And — here’s where you might feel a twinge of AI-driven apprehension — it learns.
“Using advanced AI technology, the device learns and understands its users over time to perform routine tasks before and after important meetings or events,” the company said. “This allows professionals to concentrate on creative, high-value work, giving them a competitive edge among peers in their areas of expertise.”
Plaud.AI also makes the Note AI-powered voice recorder that can attach to the back of an iPhone or other smartphone. The company said its products can save a professional up to 260 hours a year on mundane tasks like note taking.
