Hello, this is Mirai ð
In the morning, brewing a warm herbal tea at my favorite cafe where quiet light streams in. In such peaceful moments, I open my PC or tablet and start my day from wherever I like.
When I was working as a company employee, I used to long for a story like that scene from a movie.
Back then, I was... "My head is bursting just from taking notes during daily meetings and discussions..." "I want to record sudden flashes of inspiration, but taking out my smartphone and opening an app is such a hassle ð¢"
What troubled me most back then was this endless labor of "recording and creating meeting minutes." I would desperately handwrite notes on what my boss or clients said, and after the meeting ended, I would spend late nights at my PC deciphering them to write them up. The "drafting and organizing" after the meeting was far longer than the meeting itself, and all my time for myself and my comfortable breathing room were stolen away by that task.
If you are currently feeling cramped and chased by daily recording tasks like that, please take a deep breath first.
I also had a period where I tried to do everything by hand, drowning in a sea of work and becoming exhausted, but I met a reliable partner called an AI agent and adopted a semi-automatic approach.
That was when I finally realized that what dramatically changes the quality of life isn't some special talent or environment. You can create your own environment. And talent is something that blossoms as you create that environment âš
Today, I will introduce you to a world of magical technology that instantly turns your daily labor of "writing and recording" into beautifully organized "assets."
1. The light and shadow of "NOTTA," the super-famous AI tool everyone considers at least once
When you think, "Should I leave transcription to AI?", the super-famous AI transcription app NOTTA is something everyone considers at least once.
Certainly, it is a finished product with truly wonderful accuracy for automatic text conversion of "online meetings" like Zoom or Google Meet. I was moved by its convenience at first, and for those who do a lot of work that is completed entirely in front of a PC, it is still a wonderful choice.
But as I actually used it every day, I started to notice a certain weakness.
The "heaviness of the subscription" that keeps being deducted every month... ð¢ The psychological burden of having 1,200 to 2,000 yen deducted every month, whether I use it or not. If there is a month where I think, "I didn't have many meetings this month...", I get a wasteful feeling like I'm losing out, and it becomes a hassle even to manage it.
The definitive barrier of "taking out your smartphone and launching an app." When you want to record face-to-face business negotiations or ideas that pop into your head while on the move. Taking your smartphone out of your pocket, unlocking it, finding and launching the app, and pressing the record button... These few steps feel incredibly "troublesome" in a pinch, and eventually, you stop using it. And your smartphone battery runs out quickly, too ð¢
Even though it's a tool for creating time, it ends up stealing your brain's memory (consciousness) instead, doesn't it?
The one that beautifully dissolved that "subscription hassle" and "startup trouble" was my new-generation partner, "PLAUD," where an AI brain and sophisticated hardware are combined ð¿
2. The ultimate favorite that doubles your time: "Plaud"
Loved by over 2 million users worldwide and currently gathering the hottest support, that is the AI-equipped recorder brand, Plaud.
Actually, a friend of mine bought a new PLAUD, so I got to use their old one for a few days. Here are my thoughts after using it during my current remote work meetings and online sessions with clients!
"During meetings, I can keep my phone completely face down and focus 100% of my attention on the other person's expressions and the scent of my warm herbal tea. It's such a luxury to be free from the 'visual noise' of LINE and Slack notifications flickering on the screenð¿"
"Because it just sits quietly on the table like a business card holder, there's absolutely no pressure from being recorded. It's so comfortable to be able to have a 'candid conversation' in such a natural way, where we both forget its existence as if it were just part of the airð"
"I no longer have to go through the trouble of typing notes (labor) on my PC while talking. I just enjoy chatting, and later, my digital twin (AI) prepares everything perfectly as an 'idea tree (asset)'âit's truly movingâš"
I'm planning to buy one myself and am currently deciding which device to get, but since it looks like the biggest 'BIG SUMMER SALE' in Plaud Japan's history is coming up, I wanted to write this article in a hurry.
Here are the featuresâš
ð Three intelligent mechanisms unique to PLAUD that overcome all of NOTTA's weaknesses
ãNo Subscription Requiredã 300 minutes of transcription & unlimited summaries every month are ãPermanently Freeã! ð The most surprising and rock-solid stance of PLAUD is that"once you buy the device, you get 5 hours (300 minutes) of high-precision transcription and unlimited AI summarization/mind mapping for free forever"! Even if there are months you don't use it, the maintenance cost is exactly 0 yen. There is no burden on your wallet and no hassle of managing it at all.
"But what happens if I want to use it more? Will I be forced into an expensive subscription later?" You might be worried about that.
Actually, PLAUD does offer paid plans for heavy users (a 20-hour/month Pro plan and an Unlimited plan).
However, the truly sincere and wonderful thing about PLAUD is that"even the free Starter plan (5-hour monthly quota) has absolutely no restrictions on the latest AI summarization or translation features"! There is no stingy withholding like 'only 3 lines of summary because it's a free plan.'
Furthermore, if you ever think, 'I might go a little over 5 hours this month,' you don't need to sign up for an expensive subscription plan; you can simplypurchase 'additional time' as a one-time, pay-as-you-go (buyout) purchase whenever you need it.
So, most people can just buy the device and start using it with the 'free 5-hour quota,' and continue using it forever without paying a single yen in additional costsð
ãZero Startup Hassleã The overwhelming lightness of just a 'long press of a physical button'ð"When you want to start recording," there is no need to go through the trouble of opening your phone and launching an app.
Just by long-pressing the physical button on the device, clear recording starts right there on the spot.(The recorded data is automatically synced when you open the smartphone app later, and the AI summarizes it beautifullyð)
There is the ultra-thin 'Plaud Note' that sticks perfectly to the back of your smartphone, and the wearable 'Plaud NotePin' that you can wear on your chest or arm, allowing you to capture in-person business negotiations or flashes of inspiration with a single action.
A brain directly connected to the world's top-tier multi-AI (GPT/Claude/Gemini). It's not just a transcription machine. It automatically connects to the latest major LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini at all times. By using the 'Ask Plaud' function, you can just say, 'Summarize only the decisions and next tasks from today's meeting in 3 lines?' and it will organize the points and answer like an excellent secretary. With over 10,000 types of templates, it also instantly generates beautiful structured summaries and mind maps fully automatically.
With all these 'intelligent mechanisms' in place, the support system on the official website is also a perfectly completed packageð»âš

ð¿A message from the future
"Time is not something you are given, but something you create through systems"
Ever since I started using AI as my right-hand man (my alter ego) and growing this 2nd-Brain, I have truly felt this in my heart. Turning the time I used to spend desperately hitting the keyboard to transcribe into "premium breathing room" to think about "the next exciting project" while drinking warm herbal tea.
I believe that is the smartest self-investment with the highest return in the modern ageð
