NotePin

The Plaud NotePin is a lightweight wearable AI voice recorder (worn as a clip, pendant, or on a wristband) made by Plaud.AI, launched in August/September 2024 at about $169 with an optional subscription. It records meetings and conversations and uses third-party large language models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) for transcription and AI summarization, and independent reviews confirm those core features work as advertised. A successor, the NotePin S, launched in January 2026. The registry records it at commercial maturity: it ships, is purchasable, and is independently verified as functional. Plaud's sales and revenue figures (1M+ devices, profitability, $180M-$250M annualized revenue) are company self-reports and are recorded as claimed, not independently audited.

NotePin is a wearable robot built by Plaud.AI.
