The return of independent artificial intelligence devices, darling. The footnote 3 is proven by notes observation 3

There was a moment about 18 months ago when I felt that Amnesty International had opened a completely new category for consumer technology. It can be worn Humpbules And the hand Rib R1 The independent small devices that promised your personal aid were of artificial intelligence and the threat of smartphone killers.

But as soon as the uproar reached its climax, it faded again. The devices that struck the market during that initial wave of excitement are exaggerated and declining, and today we remain dependent on our phones as it was always.

The technology industry has not completely ignored the idea of ​​independent AI devices, which combines the strength of sensors and large language models. Johnny IVE and the former Openai operates Apple Design alone The “phone” centered on artificial intelligence concept. Meanwhile, smaller technology companies are also building their own interesting devices – and have made sudden successes.

I recently got acquainted with the Baud Ai, who has already sold more than a million devices to take notes of artificial intelligence, and unveiled its latest products, The Note Pro. This slide of these credit cards of technology wheels on the table next to you and slims into a small box at the back of your phone for easy transfer. Its five microphones can capture the sound up to 5 meters, and it will give you two hours of charging 50 hours from the continuous registration time.

This third device of Plaud is an update for its original device to write down notes (also sells Taker Taker) and comes with more powerful recording capabilities, along with a set of new features. The first is the small AMOLED screen along the upper edge, which will display the condition of registration and battery life. The second prominent modification is that the power button can also be pressed to highlight the main parts of the conversation in actual time.

Note Pro contains 64 GB storage capacity, but the essence of its intelligence is in the accompanying smartphone application, which expands all the materials that the device picks up, and we hope it will be real, worthy and implemented. Baud Intelligence depends on LLMS from Openai, Hone -Heothers and Google, which is a multimedia – which means that you can add pictures and text, which can be analyzed as a whole.

As with previous Plaud products, Note Pro is designed for use in professional contexts and provides access to more than 2000 templates, including those designed for people working in specific – medical or legal areas, for example. As a journalist, I need to register many conversations and meetings, so I will be interested in knowing whether to give birth to anything that goes beyond OTER, which I usually rely on.

Note Pro for my phone: The real test

This leads me to the big question, commenting on Note Pro, and for this reason I carry a separate device to record my meetings when my phone is more than one capable? It is a question that I will try to answer while testing the device next week. Nathan Shaw, the CEO of Plaud, put his vision of Note Pro in a briefing, explaining why he believed that people want one to carry one.

Shaw said that he sees “a lot of beauty in human intelligence”, but he wants to help humans overcome our shortcomings – our limited memory period, our tendency to dispersion and unintended energy levels are examples. By applying LLM strength to our daily life, artificial intelligence can help capture the recession.

Yes, you can use an application on your phone to record and run a meeting through artificial intelligence, or rely on the artificial intelligence tools included in Google Meet or Zoom, but it is often captured in isolation from others. Instead, praise is with you all the time, fill the gaps between those meetings, and pick up nuggets from every conversation-including those that are ignored face to face-which is often ignored-and understood in the context of your entire day.

“The conversation is a form of intelligence – where ideas begin, decisions are made and meanings are shared.” “So we are present to help people pick up intelligence, extract and benefit from intelligence.”

There are other questions that I still have about Note Pro, which are largely based on privacy. Shaw says that the protection of Plaud is the “best in the class”, which will need to be if it acquires medical or legal discussions or sensitive and sensitive companies. Some of the doctors who spoke to them already feel concerned about using artificial intelligence copies services due to the possible violations of the doctor and the patient’s secret, and many corporate environments may be resistant to people who use these devices at the workplace.

Less anxiety, but still the time it will take to lose the private charging cable. Note Pro is at least than a USB-C connector, so it is clear why the presence of its shipping conductor is necessary, but it may be difficult to maintain the tabs.

I will update this piece with my impressions and I will control the use of Note Pro, but if you cannot wait, it is available For pre -order now For $ 179 (169 pounds or nearly $ 350) and will be charged at some time in October.
