Gen Z is quietly rewriting the rules at work by letting AI take their meetings. An October study from Software Finder, a software discovery platform and database, found that three in ten survey respondents admitted to skipping a meeting, banking on AI to "have their back" by taking notes. The survey also found that 19% of full-time worker respondents use AI tools to automatically generate meeting notes. The strategy is paying off for some: According to the research, employees that use AI regularly to take meeting notes were 28% more likely to be promoted, compared to 15% otherwise, and earned nearly $20,000 more annually.

Plaud.ai has become well-known for its AI note-taking devices, which upgrade the classic voice recorder with a light form factor and AI to boost users' productivity. The company is now adding to its lineup with the Plaud Note Pro, which it calls its "most advanced and versatile" notetaker yet. ZDNET's Jack Wallen tested its predecessor, the Plaud Note, and found it useful in his daily life, even claiming he was "absolutely sold."

Plaud, the company behind an AI wearable that actually works, is launching an upgraded version of its credit card-sized note-taking device. Just like its Plaud Note predecessor, the Plaud Note Pro uses AI to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, but it now comes with two additional microphones that allow it to pick up audio within a 16.4-foot area, along with a 1-inch display that shows battery level, recording status, and the current recording mode.
