Plaud.ai has announced the Plaud Note Pro, its latest AI-powered note-taking device aimed at professionals, students, and anyone who needs more than just a digital recorder. The company describes it as its most advanced and versatile tool yet, with a refined aluminum design, upgraded intelligence, and a redesigned interface built for speed and clarity.
A Smarter AI Core
At the heart of the Note Pro is Plaud’s upgraded Intelligence Core, designed to do more than capture audio. It can analyze conversations, extract key points, and even generate follow-ups, task lists, and summaries from different perspectives. The device works in tandem with Plaud App 3.0, which introduces enhanced context awareness and multimodal inputs, letting users reshape their notes and ideas with minimal effort.
The company says this makes the Note Pro especially useful in high-stakes environments—whether it’s a boardroom negotiation, a classroom lecture, or a brainstorming session where ideas are flying faster than anyone can type.
Design Built for Everyday Use
Wrapped in lightweight rippled aluminum, the Note Pro aims to balance premium aesthetics with practicality. The InstantView interface streamlines the process of recording, reviewing, and exporting notes, reducing the usual friction that comes with transcription tools.
Key design updates include:
- Expanded microphone array with two extra beam-forming mics and up to 5-meter pickup range
- Extended recording time measured in days, not hours
- Support for multimodal inputs
- Compatibility with Apple’s Find My network
- Instant file transfer and customizable viewing options
A Companion for Work and Beyond
Plaud.ai frames the Note Pro as more than just a note-taker, positioning it as a digital companion that learns user preferences and builds context around captured information. CEO Nathan Xu summed it up: “Our mission is to give professionals the ultimate tool for capturing and acting on ideas in real time. The Note Pro represents a major leap forward in AI note-taking technology, blending cutting-edge intelligence with an entirely reimagined user experience.”
The Note Pro joins Plaud’s broader ecosystem, which includes the original Plaud Note and Plaud App, both already used by millions worldwide.
Price and Availability
The Plaud Note Pro is priced at $179 / £169 and is available for pre-order starting, directly through the company’s website. Waitlist members will unlock 600 complimentary minutes and a magnetic case. The Plaud Note Pro ships in October 2025, with wider availability across the US, UK, and EU soon after. Plaud App 3.0 goes live globally in October for iOS and Android.
