Plaud (Note / NotePin)
App : A product you use directly
AI hardware recorder for in-person meetings, transcription and summarisation.
For those whose exchanges mostly take place in person.
Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.
What it does, concretely
Taking notes during a meeting while staying focused on the conversation is a real challenge. Plaud offers a compact physical recorder that captures in-person conversations, then automatically transcribes and summarises them through its mobile app.
In practice, the device records ambient audio or phone calls. The recording is then synced to the Plaud Intelligence cloud, which uses GPT to produce a transcription and a structured summary. The mobile app (iOS and Android) lets you review, organise and share these notes.
Plaud is aimed at professionals who have back-to-back face-to-face meetings: salespeople, consultants, doctors, lawyers, real estate agents and educators. The range includes several models, including the Plaud Note and Plaud NotePin, both at $159, as well as more advanced versions (Note Pro at $189, NotePin S at $179).
However, if most of your exchanges happen online or via video conferencing, other AI note-taking tools designed for remote calls will likely be a better fit. Also, since audio is processed in the cloud, this tool is not recommended for confidential conversations without first reviewing the security policy.
