Meet Plaud Note Pro: Your AI Assistant for Meetings, Calls, and Creative Thinking

In today’s fast-moving world, meetings are happening everywhere, in boardrooms, Zoom calls, classrooms, hospitals, courtrooms, and coffee shops. What often gets left behind? Accurate, reliable notes. A misheard instruction, a poorly captured decision, or the loss of context can mean missed opportunities, wasted hours, or, in some industries, even safety risks.

Plaud.ai believes it has solved this problem with its latest innovation: the Plaud Note Pro.

At first glance, the Plaud Note Pro could be mistaken for a sleek credit card tucked into a wallet. But this 2.9 mm-thick, feather-light device is being described as “the most advanced and versatile AI note taker ever designed.” Built for professionals, creators, students, and anyone who struggles to keep up with rapid-fire discussions, this tiny powerhouse is redefining how we capture, store, and understand information.

From a Simple Idea to a Global Phenomenon

Plaud.ai is not new. The company launched its first note-taking device in 2023. It quickly gained over 1 million users in 170 countries. Journalists, lawyers, and consultants loved it. They used it to record and recall conversations easily. It replaced clunky apps and old dictation tools.

The Plaud Note Pro builds on that success. It keeps the ribbed texture and slim card-like shape. But it adds smarter and faster features. It has a 0.95-inch AMOLED InstantView screen. It comes with studio-grade microphones. It uses AI-powered noise isolation. It also has a MagSafe leather holster. This keeps it attached to a phone for quick access.

Hardware That Punches Above Its Weight

Ultra-Thin Yet Powerful

At just 2.9 mm thick and 30 grams in weight, the Plaud Note Pro is slimmer than an AMEX card but packs serious technology inside. Engineers managed to squeeze in a battery capable of 30 hours of continuous recording or 75 days on standby, a feat of miniaturized design.

Studio-Grade Microphones

Equipped with four MEMS mics and one VCS microphone, the Note Pro uses AI-driven acoustic beamforming to isolate voices from up to 5 meters away. This means even in a noisy conference hall or busy café, the device can separate speakers’ voices while filtering out background chatter.

Durable Yet Elegant Design

The casing is built with Corning Gorilla Glass and aluminum, giving it durability without sacrificing aesthetics. The 600-nit AMOLED display ensures visibility in bright environments while remaining discreet.

Seamless Connectivity

With dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE 5.4, syncing data to your smartphone or cloud storage is effortless. It also includes Apple Find My compatibility, so losing it won’t mean losing your data.

The Brain: Plaud Intelligence 3.0

Hardware is only half the story. What sets the Plaud Note Pro apart is its integration with Plaud Intelligence 3.0, the company’s most ambitious software upgrade to date.

Smarter Transcription

Plaud 3.0 supports transcription in 112 languages, with automatic speaker labeling and identification. This isn’t just a word-for-word transcription—it captures tone, nuance, and intent, ensuring context isn’t lost.

Multidimensional Summaries

Unlike traditional transcription apps that dump raw text, Plaud Intelligence builds layered summaries:

• Quick overviews for executives who just want the highlights.

• Detailed extracts for analysts who need every word.

• Decision logs and action items to keep projects on track.

• Role-specific reports tailored to lawyers, doctors, consultants, or educators.

Over time, Plaud builds a living network of ideas, detecting recurring themes across meetings, linking related conversations, and even surfacing patterns that humans might miss.

Highlight on the Fly

With a “Press to Highlight” button, users can mark critical moments during a conversation, giving the AI a signal to prioritize those sections in summaries. This ensures the things that matter most to you don’t get buried in the noise.

Ask Plaud

Need clarity later? Just ask. The Ask Plaud feature allows you to query the AI, which then provides source-linked answers that can be traced back to the original transcript. This is particularly useful for compliance-heavy industries where traceability is non-negotiable.

 Why Plaud Note Pro Matters

Plaud isn’t selling hardware; it’s selling clarity, context, and confidence. In industries where missing a detail can cost millions—or lives—that matters.
