𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆: Badge scans give you a name, email, and generic details. That tells you nothing: what they said, what they need, or how they feel. But things are changing. Let me introduce you to Plaud.ai. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗜𝘁?: Plaud.ai is a wearable AI recording device that clips right to your lanyard, shirt, phone, etc. It records your conversations, syncs to your phone, and delivers a full transcript, speaker-labeled notes, and AI-generated action items automatically. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲?: No more scribbled notes. No more "I think he mentioned Q3." No more follow-up emails that sound like you forgot who you talked to. After the show, drop every conversation summary into ChatGPT or Claude and ask it to flag the hottest leads, identify the top pain points, and suggest one piece of content to send the whole list. What comes back is a sales intelligence report, a content strategy, and a follow-up plan. All in one shot. Your booth is the best focus group you'll never pay for. Plaud captures everything that focus group is telling you. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀?: 💲Hardware starts at $159 (one-time). 💲Service plan runs about $8.33/month billed annually. Worth every penny before your next show. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝘁: 1. Clip it to your lanyard, shirt, phone, etc 2. Tap once to record when someone walks up 3. Tap again when the conversation ends 4. Review transcripts and summaries in the app 5. Feed summaries into your AI tool for follow-up and analysis That's it. 10 minutes to learn. 30 seconds per conversation to operate. I called this out in my chapter in *AI in the Field* (co-written with Alicia Lyttle) and I'm calling it out again here. It's my #1 recommendation right now. What do you think about this technology on the show floor? How useful, or useless, do you see this being?
