Amazon’s New AI Devices Can Listen to Conversations and Suggest Things to Buy — if You Opt In
The devices summarize conversations into to-dos and calendar invites, with the Frontier priced at $74.99 and the Eclipse at $99.99.
- On Thursday, Amazon introduced two new AI-powered Bee devices: the $74.99 Bee Frontier wearable and the $99.99 Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized attachment that magnetically snaps onto smartphone backs.
- Amazon acquired the personal AI wearable startup Bee last year, and these devices mark the company's first product refresh since the purchase. The new Frontier replaces the original $50 model with improved water resistance and battery performance.
- Both devices utilize Bee Private Compute architecture, which Amazon says ensures "no audio is ever stored." The Frontier delivers seven days of battery life, while the Eclipse offers "more than 21 days" on a single charge.
- Users can enhance functionality with a $12 monthly Bee Pro subscription, which provides "unlimited" summaries and integrations with Amazon.com, Alexa Plus, and third-party apps including Gmail and Google Calendar.
- The launch positions Bee against rival note-taking gadgets like Plaud Note and Pocket as Amazon refreshes hardware ahead of the holiday season, joining Apple and Meta in releasing updated AI devices.
