Let Plaud’s NotePin AI Accessory Handle Meeting Notes and More for Just $127

Ditch your chicken-scratch notes and let an AI take the strain while saving 20%.

Ditch handwritten notes and let this Plaud AI note-taking pin handle everything while you can grab one for just $127. That’s a 20% discount from the usual $159 asking price, too. But you’ll need to act fast because this sale ends Feb. 14.

Taking notes is a great way to make sure that you don’t forget things. Whether it’s an important action from a meeting or information about a new purchase, taking notes can be vital. And this little bundle of magic can do it all so that you don’t have to.

The Plaud NotePin is a tiny little device, smaller than a USB stick and weighing just over half an ounce. It can be attached to just about anything, including yourself, on a lapel or on your wrist, or hanging from a lanyard. It uses AI transcription to turn 112 different languages into your own and can label speakers for easier reading later. The device can generate AI-powered summaries and has more than 10,000 different templates, so you can choose the right one for your needs.

The NotePin doesn’t just kick out walls of text, either. It supports workflow integration and can turn lengthy meetings into easily read mind maps, ready to be actioned.

The device itself is available in three different colors, including the lovely sunset purple. It’s small and light, and comes with 64GB of storage. That means it can capture up to 20 hours of continuous recording while boasting a massive 40 days of standby battery life.

Note that your purchase includes the free starter plan, with 300 minutes per month of transcription. However, you can upgrade to Pro or Unlimited for more minutes and advanced AI features.

Why this deal matters

We all know that taking notes is a great way to avoid missing or losing information. But it distracts from really listening to the person you’re speaking to, so why not let an AI pin do it for you? Sure, you can use your phone to take notes, but that’s far from ideal. This is your chance to upgrade to something better, with the Plaud NotePin now available with 20% off — and you can even choose a color to match your look, too.
