Okay, real question: your phone already has a voice recorder, a notes app, and now even some AI features—so why would you spend £150 on a dedicated AI note taker like the Plaud Note Pro? In this video, I break down exactly why I started using it in my day-to-day workflow as a London-based corporate professional who’s in back-to-back recurring meetings. My old process was honestly painful: record on iPhone, upload to an AI tool, wait for a transcript, fix the errors (because the audio wasn’t great), then finally send follow-up notes. A 30-minute meeting turning into 45–60 minutes of admin is just not it. With Plaud Note Pro, I literally press and hold one button and it starts recording instantly. The app then gives me transcriptions, meeting summaries, key actions, and next steps straight away—so I can focus on the meeting instead of stressing about whether I captured every point. One feature I genuinely love is the highlight button, because I can mark key moments live while recording—especially those bits that aren’t “actions” but are important for me to remember. I also show how I use it for phone calls using the MagSafe-compatible case. I can record calls without doing the awkward “take the phone away, start recording, miss the important part” routine. For me, it’s become an everyday carry—not just because of features, but because of how much admin and anxiety it removes from my workflow.
