## Summary

Amazon, which acquired the little‑known startup Bee last year, unveiled two new AI‑powered wearables. The $74.99 Bee Frontier can be worn as a wristband or clip‑on pin and comes in three colors, while the $99.99 Bee Eclipse is a credit‑card‑sized device that magnetically attaches to the back of a smartphone. Both record conversations, generate summaries, transcripts, insights and to‑dos, and offer about seven days (Frontier) or 21 days (Eclipse) of battery life.

The devices integrate with Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple HealthKit and photo services, allowing the AI to draft emails or send calendar invites based on spoken cues. Amazon also introduced a Bee Pro subscription for $11.99 a month, which adds unlimited summaries, daily memories, a personal chat assistant, third‑party app integrations, a desktop app, and optional Alexa Plus compatibility that surfaces shopping suggestions on the Amazon homepage.

Amazon said Bee encrypts all data through its “Private Compute” architecture and does not store raw audio. Users can stop recording automatically when no sound is detected, and voice training is limited to the primary user unless others grant permission.

## Key points

- Amazon released the $74.99 Bee Frontier wristband and announced the $99.99 Bee Eclipse clip‑on device.
- A new Bee Pro subscription costs $11.99/month and adds unlimited summaries, Alexa Plus shopping suggestions, and a desktop app.
- Both devices record conversations, provide AI‑generated summaries and can integrate with Gmail, Calendar, Apple HealthKit and more.

## Why it matters

The wearables embed Amazon’s AI and shopping ecosystem into daily life, expanding data collection opportunities while raising privacy concerns for consumers.
