NEW YORK, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AI workplace technology brand viaim has announced a global Prime Day promotion, offering at least 20 percent off across its entire product lineup from July 7 through July 19. The promotion features its flagship recording earbuds RecDot, the comfort-focused OpenNote, and the desktop companion NoteKit. Together, these tools form a seamless AI-powered productivity hardware suite built for multilingual, mobile, and high-compliance professional environments. More than just earbuds, these tools mark a step toward bringing AI into the everyday routines of global professionals.
viaim hardware is engineered for real-time efficiency. Using FlashRecord, users can start recording immediately with a long press, without having to download any app or configure Bluetooth pairing, with all products supporting real-time transcription and translation in multiple languages. For time-strapped users, viaim's proprietary AI system automatically generates structured summaries and to-do lists based on meeting audio. This allows professionals to turn two hours of content into one minute of actionable output. By embedding intelligence directly into devices people already wear and trust, viaim is making AI practical, wearable, and truly personal.
During Prime Day, customers can experience viaim's most advanced features through its three-device ecosystem. RecDot is a wireless AI recording earbud designed for professionals who need reliable, on-the-go capture of conversations and meetings. It delivers call and meeting recording with 48 decibels of hybrid noise cancellation and ergonomic controls. OpenNote is a long-wear headset built for all-day comfort and seamless transcription during travel or work. It lasts up to 53 hours and features AI-assisted meeting summaries and text clean-up, and a silicone loop design suitable for long-term wearers including glasses users. NoteKit is a lightweight USB audio recorder tailored for desktop setups and hybrid meetings that complements the suite by capturing high-fidelity audio in any computer-based setting and bridging gaps that traditional microphones often miss.
viaim's vertical approach to product design is what sets it apart. Rather than offering generic features, viaim optimizes for professional needs such as cross-border meetings, multilingual project reviews, and sensitive industry use cases such as legal and healthcare. The entire ecosystem is built with privacy at its core. Recordings are encrypted and stored locally, with no cloud dependency. All devices meet HIPAA and GDPR data compliance standards, directly addressing concerns from 38.6 percent of users who worry about recording privacy, as shown in recent user surveys.
Alex Taylor, a cross-border M&A consultant and part-time outdoor content creator, uses RecDot and NoteKit to manage over ten international meetings a week. He records compliant audit calls on the go, captures bilingual Zoom negotiations, and uses OpenNote to draft content while cycling coastal highways. In his words, the viaim setup gives him the freedom to work and create anywhere, without compromise.
Ahead of Prime Day, Dr. Song Wang, Chief Technology Officer of viaim, emphasized the growing market demand: "Our research shows that North American users have increased their recording time by 120 percent year-over-year, yet over half of meeting value is still lost in disorganized notes. With viaim, clients in finance are closing compliance reporting 40 percent faster, and tech teams are making decisions 2.1 times more efficiently."
The Prime Day sale is available through Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7KMG9F5 and viaim's official store at https://store.viaim.ai.

Landmark Project Across Four Governorates to Boost Power Plant Output by 50%, Easing Chronic Electricity Shortages
SHANGHAI, Dec. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Electric has broken ground on the Euphrates Combined Cycle Expansion Project in Iraq. As the project's contractor, Shanghai Electric is upgrading power plants across four Iraqi governorates by transforming simple-cycle units into combined-cycle systems. The expansion will add a total capacity of 625 megawatts (MW) and is designed to boost overall plant efficiency by approximately 50%, generating an additional 5 billion kilowatt-hprojours (kWh) of electricity annually without increasing fuel consumption. This initiative is poised to significantly alleviate the country's persistent electricity shortages.
"The pressing need for energy security and development in Iraq is clear. We are honored that our efficient combined-cycle technology is recognized as instrumental in modernizing this critical infrastructure," said a spokesperson for Shanghai Electric. "This project exemplifies our commitment to supporting the energy security and green development of Belt and Road countries through technological innovation."
Iraq, a major Middle Eastern oil producer, has faced severe power shortages for over three decades. Most of its power plants rely on natural gas, yet domestic gas development lags, creating a heavy dependence on imports. This power deficit has become a persistent challenge to people's livelihoods and a bottleneck for national reconstruction and economic growth.
The Shanghai Electric-contracted expansion project along the Euphrates River broke ground early this year and covers the Iraqi governorates of Najaf, Karbala, Babylon, and Al-Qadisiyyah, with all upgrades centered on advanced combined-cycle technology. Core equipment has now arrived on site, and construction is advancing through the collaboration of Chinese and Iraqi teams. Since its commencement, the project has drawn considerable attention from the Iraqi government and public.
Iraqi Minister of Electricity Ziad Ali Fadel has praised the project's strategic importance, stating, "This initiative is highly significant for improving Iraq's power supply and optimizing its electricity infrastructure. Once operational, it will effectively reduce Iraq's reliance on imported natural gas and lower its fuel costs for power generation."
At the power plant in Najaf, the upgrade utilizes high-temperature exhaust from existing gas turbines as a heat source. The exhaust is directed through heat recovery steam generators to produce high-pressure steam, which then drives a new steam turbine to create additional electricity. This combined-cycle process increases output and efficiency without extra fuel and reduces the thermal pollution from the original units.
Naseem Ayad, the Iraqi project manager at the Najaf site, said, "Chinese equipment and power technology help us reuse high-temperature exhaust, boosting generation capacity while reducing thermal pollution. This project sets a benchmark for power plant upgrades in Iraq and reflects local hopes for more reliable electricity and better living conditions."
At the Karbala site, core equipment such as heat recovery steam generators and direct air-cooled condensers have been delivered. This project phase marks one of Iraq's first combined-cycle expansions to fully utilize Chinese equipment and standards, with core systems designed and manufactured in China. This will effectively drive the overseas deployment of Chinese equipment and enhance the recognition of Chinese standards in Iraq.
Upon completion, the project is expected to improve local livelihoods, support post-war reconstruction, and lay a robust energy foundation for Iraq's industrial recovery and economic growth.
Shanghai Electric remains dedicated to supporting sustainable development in Belt and Road regions and worldwide through advanced, efficient, and eco-friendly energy technologies.
