THE TECH BITE
👋 Intro
Happy Tuesday, Tech Bite family 🎉
Here’s a quick 3+ minute Tech Bite to catch up on a few AI updates worth knowing.
In today’s Tech Bite:
Plaud brings AI note-taking into hardware 📝
Subtle launches AI earbuds focused on clear voice 🎧
Plus: useful tools, social chatter, and one smart takeaway 🔥
Let’s dive into today’s bite 👇
🍪 Today’s Main Bite
1) Plaud brings AI note-taking to a physical device

🚀 Quick Take:
Plaud is expanding beyond wearable AI with a new NotePin S and a desktop meeting notetaker. One is for meetings on the go. The other is for meetings on your screen.
📝 What’s New:
Plaud launches NotePin S, a physical AI pin for recording meetings
Comes with multiple wearing options: clip, lanyard, magnetic pin, wristband
One-button controls to start, stop, and highlight moments while recording
Adds Apple Find My support to track the device
20 hours of battery, 64GB storage, dual microphones
Free 300 minutes of transcription per month
New desktop app that takes notes across meeting apps
Automatically detects meetings and structures notes using AI
🧠 Why It Matters:
AI note-taking is moving beyond software into dedicated hardware.
In short:
Not everyone wants bots inside meetings
Physical devices suit people who attend in-person conversations
Desktop capture keeps Plaud competitive with meeting tools like Granola and Fireflies
Bottom line: Plaud is building a full meeting capture system, not just another gadget.

🚀 Quick Take:
Subtle has launched wireless earbuds designed to isolate your voice in noisy places.
The goal is simple: clearer calls, better voice notes, and more accurate transcriptions.
📝 What’s New:
Subtle launches AI-powered wireless earbuds ahead of CES
Uses voice isolation models to reduce background noise
Built for clearer calls and accurate voice note transcription
Comes with an iOS and Mac app for dictation and AI chat

🧠 Why It Matters:
Voice is becoming a serious input method, not just a feature.
In short:
People want to talk to devices even in noisy places
Software alone isn’t always enough
Hardware + AI together can unlock better voice experiences
Bottom line: Subtle is betting that voice-first gadgets are the next step beyond keyboards and touch.
3) NVIDIA makes games smoother with smarter AI
🚀 Quick Take:
NVIDIA has upgraded DLSS to version 4.5, using better AI to boost frame rates and improve image quality in supported games.
📝 What’s New:
DLSS 4.5 uses a new AI model to improve visuals
Supports 400+ games and apps
Can generate more frames to boost performance
Aims to hit high refresh rates like 120Hz, 240Hz, and above
Available now via the NVIDIA app for RTX users
Advanced features roll out first on newer RTX GPUs
🧠 Why It Matters:
This is AI working behind the scenes, not in your face.
In short:
Games can look smoother without needing stronger hardware
AI is helping GPUs do more with less power
High-refresh gaming is becoming more accessible
Bottom line: NVIDIA is using AI to squeeze more performance out of existing GPUs.

NativeBridge: Test apps across real devices and browsers in the cloud using a single link, built for dev and QA teams.
⚙️ Smart Bite
One small thought worth taking away today. 👇
If an AI feature runs quietly in the background and improves results without extra effort, that’s the kind worth keeping.
