Successful wearables are largely confined to a few select figure factors . The wrist still rules the roost , or perhaps the ears , calculate on how wide your definition is . Glasses are having a instant , while the ring gain adhesive friction . The peg / necklace never made much headway , though not for deficiency of attempt .
Misfit explore the space , and perhaps you remember the lifelogging trend exemplified byNarrativeandMemoto . The more late generative AI energy has give usHumaneandFriend . The jury is still out on one of those , at least .
Plaud . AI ’s fresh announcedNotePinhas the most in vulgar with the latter two examples , with AI serving as its core competency . One key difference , however , is the simmpleness of its core functionality : It ’s a musical note taking twist . And that ’s pretty much it .

This small but powerful machine is reshaping the professional landscape , allowing user to optimise their daytime - to - 24-hour interval workflow and center on what matters most . ”
That ’s a lot of marketing speak , peculiarly the bit about “ reshape the professional landscape . ” Among other things , the intersection has yet to actually launch . One thing Plaud has going for it versus the rivalry is an early product , the Plaud Note , that has both ship and sell 200,000 units , according to the company .
The GPT-4o - powered Plaud Note yield buzz . The $ 159 gadget snap onto the back of a French telephone to provide note transcriptions standardised to the new merchandise .
