Plaud is an on-the-go AI notetaker that acts like your meeting companion in any scenario: in-person, over the phone, or online. It works by capturing natural-form conversation with a dedicated device, then transcribing, summarizing, and workflowing it with secure, state-of-the-art AI.

Yes! Stop by Plaud Booth #8953 in North Hall of LVCC during CES and we can show you how our notetakers and AI intelligence work. Or watch a video here:

Plaud Note Pro and Plaud Note line are credit card-sized note-takers that can fit on the back of your phone or on the desk next to you, and are excellent for exchanges that happen over the phone, in-person, or virtually on a computer. Plaud NotePin and Pin S are more wearable and designed to go on your shirt, wrist, or around your neck. They are fantastic for capturing face-to-face conversations or scenarios where you need to be hands-free, such as public speaking, interviews, or consultations.

• Plaud Note Pro: Our most advanced AI note taker for bigger rooms, mixed setups, and longer sessions. Captures up to 16.4 feet with 4 MEMS microphones + 1 VPU microphone, and delivers up to 50 hours of recording with 60 days standby.
• Plaud NotePin S: A capsule‑sized, wearable AI note‑taker for truly hands‑free capture. Records clearly up to 9.8 feet with 2 MEMS microphones, lasts up to 20 hours of recording or 40 days standby.
• Plaud Note: The everyday professional AI note‑taker for calls and meetings anywhere. Offers up to 9.8 feet pickup with 2 MEMS microphones + 1 VPU microphone, and up to 30 hours of recording or 60 days standby.

Because Plaud is a professional AI note-taking device, and professional tasks deserve professional tools. A phone is built for everything. Plaud is built for capturing, extracting, and utilizing intelligence. That difference matters in real meeting, interview, and class scenarios.

Here’s why a phone can’t replace Plaud:

1. One-press recording: Start instantly without unlocking your phone, searching for apps, or losing the moment.
2. No interruptions. Calls, notifications, multitasking, and system restrictions can easily stop or corrupt recordings on a phone.
3. No battery or network anxiety. Long recordings drain phone power and take up large storage, but Plaud is designed for extended, stable capture.
4. Professional-grade audio pickup: Phones optimize for near-field speech. Plaud is engineered for clearer, more reliable far-field and meeting-room pickup.
5. Wearable and hands-free. Ideal for meetings, interviews, lectures, and field work—without holding your phone all the time.

A phone is a general-purpose device.

Plaud is a dedicated AI note taker designed for professional conversations.

Plaud Note Pro has 50 hours of continuous recording battery life or 60 days on standby, usually lasting weeks of normal use. 

Plaud NotePin S has 20 hours of continuous recording life or 40 days standby.

Plaud Note has 30 hours of continuous recording life or 60 days standby.

We use a combination of AI models, including GPT-5.1 Claude Sonnet, and Gemini 3 Pro to power our AI intelligence, and Azure and Whisper v3-large for our transcription. 

When summarizing conversations, users can choose their preferred model across GPT, Gemini, and Claude for AI note generation.

Professional summary templates are tailored note formats that organize conversations in ways that you specifically need. They structure the insights and are designed for a wide range of professional settings and scenarios —  meetings, sales, interviews, healthcare, legal, education, finance and more. 

Plaud also supports custom templates. You can create your own style and choose to publish it to the template community, which now includes over 10,000 templates contributed by professionals worldwide.
