Wearable AI note takers let you record conversations without pulling out a phone or inviting a meeting bot onto a call. Plaud NotePin S, SwitchBot AI MindClip, Omi, and the Vocci AI ring all take a different approach, from pins and pendants to a recorder worn on your finger.
Plaud NotePin S is the strongest all-around choice, while SwitchBot offers similar core hardware for less. Omi stands out for open-source software and developer access, and Vocci is the smallest option if you specifically want a ring.
