Anker's Tiny AI Recorder Redefines Meeting Notes

The Future of Meetings Fits in Your Pocket

Imagine finishing a three-hour strategy session and having all your notes already summarized, translated, and formatted before you've even stood up from the table. That's the promise of Anker's new AI Voice Recorder Bean, developed in partnership with workplace platform Feishu.

Smaller Than Your Car Keys

At just 10 grams - lighter than two nickels - this discreet recorder clips invisibly to collars, sleeves or ID badges. "We wanted to create something you'd forget you're wearing," explains Anker's product lead. The bean-shaped device captures crystal clear audio while disappearing into professional attire.

More Than Just Recording

The magic happens when Feishu's AI gets to work:

  • Real-time summaries appear as you speak
  • Automatic translations break language barriers
  • Fishbone diagrams organize chaotic brainstorming instantly
  • All data syncs seamlessly to Feishu's workspace tools

"It's like having a personal assistant dedicated solely to meeting notes," one beta tester remarked. The system even quality-checks recordings against preset rules before filing them away.

Designed for Today's Hybrid Workforce

With remote meetings becoming permanent fixtures, professionals need smarter ways to track discussions. Traditional recorders leave users drowning in hours of raw audio. This solution delivers polished notes before the Zoom call ends.

The collaboration combines Anker's hardware expertise with Feishu's powerful workplace AI. Together they've created what might become the most indispensable tool in any office worker's arsenal.

Key Points:

  • Featherlight design at just 10 grams with multiple wearing options
  • AI-powered intelligence provides real-time summaries and translations
  • Seamless integration with Feishu's productivity ecosystem
  • Visual organization automatically creates fishbone diagrams from discussions
