Amazon's AI wearable brand Bee, acquired by the retail giant last year, has introduced two new personal AI devices designed to enhance everyday productivity through conversation capture and smart reminders. The first device, Bee Frontier, is a wearable that can be worn on the wrist or pinned to clothing, retailing at $74.99. The second, Bee Eclipse, is a compact, credit-card-sized recorder that magnetically attaches to smartphones and costs $99.99. These new releases position Bee competitively against similar AI products like Plaud Note and Pocket, but at significantly lower price points.

Both devices leverage AI technology to automatically take notes from conversations, helping users remember key details and convert them into actionable items such as calendar events, to-dos, and summaries. Use cases range from social planning and academic lectures to medical appointments, making the devices versatile tools for personal and professional use. The Bee Frontier comes in three colors — Onyx, Lavender, and Sage — while the Eclipse offers choices including Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush.

Bee offers a free service that provides conversation summaries and keeps a 14-day memory of interactions. For $11.99 per month, the Bee Pro subscription unlocks unlimited conversation summaries, integration with Amazon’s Alexa and shopping platform, and access to additional features like suggested tasks, a personal chat assistant, and daily memory highlights. Privacy is a priority, with audio processed in real time without storage of raw recordings, and encrypted transcripts controlled solely by the user, ensuring data security and ownership remains with the customer.

The devices come with upgraded hardware and software, including water resistance for the Bee Frontier, long battery life of up to seven days, dual microphones with noise filtering, and USB-C charging. Both models are supported by redesigned mobile and desktop apps, enhancing user experience and accessibility. The Bee Frontier is already available for purchase on Amazon, and the Bee Eclipse is expected to launch shortly, marking a significant step forward in Amazon's efforts to blend AI with personal convenience and productivity.
