Editorial summaries

Plaud NotePro

The Plaud Note Pro is available for purchase directly from Plaud's website with an Add to Cart button, ships within 1 to 2 business days, and offers free 30-day returns; availability may be geo-restricted in some regions. The Plaud Note Pro is priced at $189.00 USD as listed on Plaud's official product page, with a free Starter Plan included; optional AI Pro Plan is $99.99 per year and Unlimited Plan is $239.99 per year.

r1

The Rabbit r1 is a $199 pocket AI companion device, unveiled at CES in January 2024 and still shipping into 2026, with no subscription. Its editorial throughline is the gap between demo and product: the launch demonstration of a Large Action Model (LAM) completing agentic tasks outran what the shipping product has consistently delivered.

Rabbit has shipped software updates since launch, but consistent agentic task completion is not verified. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as pilot.
