Amazon today introduced two new Bee personal AI devices: the Bee Frontier wearable and the Bee Eclipse phone attachment. Both are designed to listen to conversations and turn them into summaries, to-dos, reminders, and insights in the Bee app.
The Bee Frontier wearable can be worn on a soft silicone wristband or clipped onto clothing, available in Lavender, Sage, and Onyx. It features dual microphones with noise filtering, IP67 water resistance, up to seven days of battery life, and USB-C charging. It is available now for $74.99.
The Bee Eclipse is credit card-sized, 4.6mm thick and 48.9g, snapping magnetically onto the back of a phone. It offers more than 21 days of battery life using four MEMS mics plus a vibration microphone to capture both sides of phone calls and in-person chats. It starts at $99.99 in Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush, going on sale soon.
Both devices run on Bee Private Compute, processing audio in real time and then deleting it, never storing transcripts. A Bee Pro subscription costs $11.99 a month or $99 a year, with 30 days included free, enabling integrations with Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and more. Amazon acknowledges privacy concerns, noting that users must handle consent per varying laws.
