Ever sat through a long meeting mentally juggling action items, decisions, and half‑formed ideas, only to realise later you remember none of them? Artificial Intelligence (AI) Note-taker brand Plaud’s latest product – Note Pro – might be the productivity upgrade you didn’t know you needed.
This isn’t just a spec‑bumped refresh. Plaud Note Pro introduces something genuinely new in human‑AI interaction: real‑time human‑AI alignment. Yes, that’s a mouthful. But the way Plaud implements it is surprisingly simple — a physical “Press to highlight” button that lets you mark important moments as they happen. Instead of hoping the AI guesses what matters, you tell it directly. The result? Cleaner, more accurate summaries that actually reflect your intent. And frankly, that’s clever.
The Note Pro is also ridiculously compact — credit‑card sized, just 2.99mm thin and 30 grams. Inside that sliver sits a four‑microphone MEMS array with AI beamforming that captures voices clearly from up to 5 metres away. Think boardrooms, classrooms, large meetings, and even cafés.
There’s also Smart Dual Mode Recording, which automatically switches between phone‑call capture and in‑person meeting capture. You don’t have to fiddle with settings. It just knows. It is also rated at up to 50 hours of continuous recording on a full charge. That’s probably almost an entire week of meetings for those of us living in corporate calendars.
Hardware aside, the magic sits in the software. Plaud Intelligence 3.0 taps into top‑tier large language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The system pulls audio, text, images, and your highlighted cues to generate structured summaries, mind maps, and action items using over 10,000 templates.
There’s also Ask Plaud, a feature that lets you query your recordings directly. Ask a question, and the system answers with references back to the original audio. It’s like having a personal analyst who remembers everything you say. This all works across the Plaud App (iOS and Android), Plaud Web, and the soon‑to‑arrive desktop version.
The Plaud Note Pro retails at S$259 and is available via the official website and across major electronics retailers in Singapore, such as Challenger, Courts, Harvey Norman, and Best Denki, Popular, Metapod. It’s also available online on its official site, Shopee and Lazada.
