Plaud Unveils Note Pro: Next-Gen AI Notetaker With AMOLED Display
AI hardware startup Plaud.ai has announced the release of its newest notetaking device, the Plaud Note Pro, bringing fresh innovation to the portable AI recorder market. Priced at $179 (or £169), the Note Pro is now open for pre-orders and is expected to ship in October 2025.
What Sets the Note Pro Apart?
The Note Pro builds on the success of Plaud's original credit-card-sized notetaker, but introduces a standout feature: a 0.95-inch AMOLED display. This mini screen displays key info like recording status and battery level, making the device more user-friendly and visually appealing.
- Recording Power: Up to 30 hours of standard-range audio, extendable to 50 hours in short-range mode (9.8 feet/3 meters).
- Expanded Range: Four MEMS microphones (up from two), capturing clear audio at distances up to 16.4 feet (5 meters).
- Smarter Detection: Automatic switching between call and in-person recording modes—no manual toggling needed.
- Enhanced Audio: Improved noise suppression and speaker detection for optimal clarity.
App Upgrades: AI-Powered Summaries and Multimodal Notes
The updated Plaud companion app introduces several new features for better productivity. Users can now:
- Take notes in text format, similar to leading apps like Granola
- Add images (e.g., meeting slides) directly to notes
- Generate multidimensional summaries—extracting key insights, action items, or data points in customizable templates
- Leverage AI to suggest the right summary template based on user role, or create custom templates
- Query notes using a new beta feature powered by AI
Pricing, Perks, and Market Impact
The Note Pro retails at $179, and early adopters will receive 600 free transcription minutes plus a magnetic case. Every user gets 300 complimentary transcription minutes per month; additional minutes require a paid plan or one-time top-up.
Plaud.ai continues to show resilience in a challenging AI hardware space, having shipped over a million units of its notetakers. Impressively, about half of users have upgraded to the Pro plan, reflecting strong satisfaction and demand. In contrast, other device makers have faced setbacks, acquisitions, or delays.
Who Should Consider the Plaud Note Pro?
This device is ideal for professionals and businesses seeking a reliable, portable solution for capturing meetings, interviews, and calls—with the added power of AI-driven organization and summaries. Its sleek design, extended range, and intelligent features position it as a leading choice in the AI notetaking category.
