The Comu Action Pro is a pocket-sized AI voice recorder designed for those who spend much of their business life in meetings, interviews, and briefings. It combines audio capture with an AI assistant that can transcribe discussions, summarise key points and turn spoken instructions into editable working documents.
I know what you’re thinking. A good amount of this functionality is already available (Otter, Co-Pilot, Chat GPT and such like), but what the Comu Action Pro does is free up your smartphone, and reduce the time spent revisiting recordings, copying notes between applications and preparing routine follow-up material.
If that sounds like something that might enhance your workflow, read on…
The Comu AI recorder can generate meeting notes, action items, email drafts, presentation slides and reminders…
Comu Action Pro review: Design and getting started
Not much larger than a credit card, and weighing just 51g, the Compu Action Pro is small enough to pop in your pocket, although I suspect most users will prefer to attach it to their mobile, thanks to its MagSafe-compatible design. If your smartphone isn’t compatible, there’s a magnetic ring supplied which allows you to clip the Comu directly.
The Comu Action Pro uses an adaptive six-microphone arrangement. Four omnidirectional microphones work alongside a directional microphone and a bone-conduction microphone. A built-in motion sensor helps the system adapt audio capture to different situations, and audio recording quality is reliably good.
The device supports Bluetooth and charges over USB-C.
The battery life is rated by Comu at 70 hours, but probably comes in at slightly less. The important point is that you won’t be charging it every day. The unit itself has 16GB of internal storage.
Getting started requires the Comu app. When you power-up, a QR code prompt points you to your app store. The Action Pro device handles the recording, and then syncs the results to the app for review and editing. The two work in tandem.
Usability is good. Once paired over Bluetooth, editable recordings are just a button press away. Hold it for two seconds to start capturing audio. A vibration, animation and timer indicate that the session is underway. A single press pauses or resumes recording, while holding the button for another two seconds ends the session. Two vibrations and a ‘Saved’ message confirm that your recording has been stored.
There’s no need to navigate a phone screen every time a conversation begins or ends.
Comu Action Pro review: Features and performance
There’s also a dedicated AI button. Hold it down to request a task. You might ask it to summarise a meeting or create a presentation from the discussion. The device indicates when it is listening, sending the task and has submitted it successfully. The resulting content can then be viewed in the Comu app.
The Comu system can transcribe speech in real time, with text highlights synchronised to playback, much like Otter, the AI transcription tool. This makes it easy to locate a particular comment or revisit a section without listening to the entire recording again. I suspect for most users, this is the main reason to buy.
Audio recordings can also be viewed as a very detailed summary, with bullet point insights. There’s an Action tab, if you need to follow up on specific meeting points.
You can also share your recordings, in the form of an MP3.
For those on the premium subscription plan, there’s transcription and translation across a claimed 113 languages.
AI summaries organise conversations into key points, meeting notes, decisions, action items and follow-ups. The system can also apply tags and smart categories, creating a searchable history of conversations.
That could be particularly helpful if you regularly need to retrieve a detail from an earlier meeting. Instead of working through a folder of audio files, users can search their conversation history and return to the relevant information. For people juggling several projects, the ability to find decisions and outstanding tasks quickly may be one of the recorder’s most practical benefits.
I wouldn’t trust the automated transcription entirely, particularly when it comes to technical jargon, but to be honest it doesn’t take long to review, a job I preferred to do on the desktop.
All Comu recordings, transcriptions and presentations are available from the desktop.
The Action Pro’s most powerful feature is its ability to generate documents from scratch.
I captured a conversation that spanned everything from geo-politics to winter puddings. I then requested Comu generate a slide presentation. A few prompts on the app and a full power point was produced in minutes. Comu was smart enough to separate out all the key topics covered, distinguishing between politics and puds, providing a near perfect summation of my chat. The AI smarts are very impressive and a massive time saver.
Email generation is another nicety. Comu can identify when a follow-up email is needed and offer a dedicated option; the generated draft can organise the recipient, subject, meeting summary, decisions, action items and deadlines.
Helpfully, you can connect Comu to your Google Calendar, and Gmail accounts, as well as your Outlook Calendar and Outlook email. Additional integration is via Zapier, a third-party subscription platform.
Comu Action Pro review: AI access and subscription costs
Functionality depends on your selected subscription plan. The Starter plan, which is free with the device, offers unlimited real time AI transcription and basic summaries, with 500 Agent Credits a month. The Premium plan costs $14.99/month, or $10 when billed annually. This gets you more AI usage credits (‘Agent Credits’) and additional AI-powered workflows. For many users, this will be the sweet spot.
Then there’s the Elite plan. Priced at £39.99 a month, or $29 when billed annually, this gives you 40,000 Agent Credits a month and effectively unlocks all functionality.
Comu Action Pro review: Verdict
The Comu Action Pro is an attractive productivity tool. It packages recording, transcription, summarisation and document generation into a pocketable device, and has the ability to dramatically improve productivity.
Build quality is excellent. The six-microphone arrangement, MagSafe-compatible design make it eminently usable in a variety of situations (often I’m talking with people in less than ideal sonic environments, so this is appreciated), and its big battery life is a definite win.
As for the various subscription plans, that very much depends on the user. You get a seven day Premium trial when you buy, so you can at least try that one out.
