Pocket has secured $11 million in funding to expand its AI-powered note-taking device. The company's credit card-shaped puck attaches to phones and offers unlimited recordings, transcriptions, and task management.
Pocket's device costs $129 and functions as a portable recording and transcription tool. Users can capture audio without opening an app, with the hardware handling transcription and automatic to-do list generation.
The funding reflects investor confidence in the growing market for specialized AI hardware. Rather than relying on smartphone processing, Pocket's approach uses a dedicated device optimized for audio capture and voice-to-text conversion.
Competitors in the space include Rewind, which makes wearable recording devices, and various smartphone-based note apps. Pocket differentiates through its form factor—a slim puck designed for attachment to existing phones rather than a separate wearable.
The company plans to use the funding to scale manufacturing and expand its feature set. The $11 million round comes as demand grows for devices that handle voice input without requiring users to pull out their phones.
