## Common questions

### What is 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.

### Who makes NotePin?

NotePin is made by Plaud.AI, based in San Francisco, California, USA, founded in 2023.

### Where is NotePin deployed?

No verified deployments of NotePin are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is NotePin's maturity stage?

NotePin is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
