Early adopters of AI are always on the hunt for the next life hack that saves time, improves their workflow, and helps them on their way to being the best version of themselves. Sure, getting AI to turn your pet’s photo into a human is fun, but while newcomers play with parlor tricks, the professionals are leveling up their game with real-world applications.

Meet the latest tool for doing just that: Plaud Note Pro, a slick, credit-card-sized device and the world’s first AI note-taker that enables real-time human-AI alignment. This powerful technology can transcribe from multiple audio sources while taking contextual cues from you, adding in images and extra notes in real time—completely transforming how meetings and work conversations are captured, understood, and acted upon.

While Plaud Note Pro does the busy work of note-taking, you can stay present and professional, knowing that your AI assistant will deliver comprehensive notes.

Anyone in a fast-paced environment knows the avalanche of information—juggling a presentation, a rambling boss, or an interview that demands your full attention. Imagine a tool that seamlessly takes notes, highlights key points, and adds context. The Plaud Note Pro makes this a reality.


Silver&Black Plaud Note Pro

Plaud Note Pro is a slim, wallet-sized recorder designed for capturing conversations, meetings, and calls with clarity. It uses four built-in microphones to pick up voices from across the room, offers dual-mode recording for in-person and phone use, and features an AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass. With support for transcription in over 100 languages, long battery life of up to 50 hours, and compliance with strict privacy standards, it delivers a reliable way to keep accurate, accessible records of important discussions.



Real-time human-AI alignment

Modern note-taking alternatives, such as AI transcriptions, still fall short, often lacking context and accuracy by retroactively summarizing content without any contextual clues. The beauty of Plaud Note Pro lies in its real-time human-AI alignment: Your ability to flag important moments with a quick press on your Plaud Note Pro, plus add your own text notes or photos directly from your device while Plaud Note Pro is recording.

What you say, hear, see, and think are all organized in one place. Together, you and your AI note-taker are creating a more holistic context that can then be dissected and examined as a team.

After the meeting, your AI companion takes over. Ask Plaud anything: “What was the project deadline?” “List the action items for sales.” It not only finds answers instantly but also provides leading questions and insights you may have missed, all referenced directly to the original audio and inputs.

Basic AI transcriptions can struggle to discern between multiple voices in the room, whereas Plaud Note Pro can label each speaker, provide individualized summaries, and analyze the entire conversation. Plaud Note Pro goes beyond transcription to strategically record, highlight, and then provide a structured output that becomes a valuable business document with actionable insights.

Once your recording is finished, Plaud Note Pro will recommend different types of summaries that are tailored to your profession and take into account the recording’s contents. These multidimensional summaries could document the key quantitative data from the visiting department’s presentation, analyze the intent of the meeting, and delve into the subtext of what was said, or remove the extraneous chatter and distill a conversation down to the most salient points.

In one click within the Plaud app, you can access more than 3,000 professional summary templates that will help you get a deeper, clearer understanding of your work. You end up with better recall of your meetings, more powerful decision-making tools, and less time wasted cleaning up rambling transcriptions.

Engineered for professional performance

Housed in a sleek, credit-card-sized device just 0.11 inches thick, the Plaud Note Pro is built for complete portability and discretion. It comes with a magnetic leather case for easy integration on the back of your smartphone, but is still small enough to slip into your wallet. Plus, the 0.95-inch AMOLED display is fortified with Corning Gorilla Glass for ultimate durability.

It captures crystal-clear audio from up to 16 feet away, so you can record naturally without passing a device. Four high-sensitivity microphones and AI beamforming technology isolate speech from background noise, ensuring everyone is heard accurately in any setting—from a one-on-one to a noisy conference room.

The innovation continues with Smart Dual-Mode Recording. Whether you place a call or walk into an in-person meeting, the device automatically detects the context and switches modes instantly. No manual setup, no fumbling—just seamless capture.

Putting privacy first

You can’t record private business conversations without a guarantee that they’re secure. Plaud Note Pro knows that data security is paramount and is compliant with GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, and EN18031 standards. GDPR compliance keeps your data under your control, under Europe’s strictest privacy laws.

Your data is also SOC 2 certified, with independently verified systems ensuring security, availability, and confidentiality; HIPAA compliant, applying healthcare-grade safeguards to medical and personal information; and EN18031 compliant, meeting European cybersecurity standards for secure wireless communication.

Optimized battery life

The Plaud Note Pro delivers up to 50 hours of continuous recording in Endurance Mode—dwarfing the 12-hour average of most competitors. One charge with your Plaud Note Pro device could last you an entire week’s worth of meetings or get you through a multi-day conference.

If you’re handling back-to-back calls, hitting the road frequently, or don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to charge your device daily, this battery life is a total game-changer.

Making AI work for your future

Plaud Note Pro represents the next phase of human-AI collaboration. It’s time to move beyond reactive note-taking and embrace proactive, augmented intelligence. Together, you can create powerful transcripts, uncover deeper insights, and transform how you understand your work. Stop just recording meetings—start mastering them.
