Amazon has introduced two Bee AI devices that are designed to turn spoken conversations into searchable summaries, task lists and reminders. Bee Frontier is a wearable, while Bee Eclipse attaches to the back of a smartphone; both work with the Bee mobile and desktop apps to surface information captured during conversations.
| Device | Design | Battery rating | Colors | Price and stated availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bee Frontier | Wearable for the wrist or clothing | Up to 7 days | Lavender, Sage and Onyx | $74.99; available in the US |
| Bee Eclipse | Credit-card-sized accessory that magnetically attaches to a smartphone | More than 21 days | Silver, Midnight, Honey and Blush | Starting at $99.99; availability not specified |
Frontier has two microphones with advanced noise filtering, an IP67 rating and USB-C charging. Its microphone is activated with a physical button, accompanied by a light indicator. Eclipse uses a different form factor but offers the same conversation-memory and AI-summary functions, according to Amazon.
The Bee app can connect conversation-derived information with email and calendar services, including the following integrations:
- Gmail, for preparing emails from information mentioned in conversations.
- Google Calendar, for creating calendar invitations.
- Microsoft Outlook, for email and calendar-related workflows.
A new Alexa+ connection enables voice access to Bee summaries. Amazon.com integration can also provide shopping recommendations based on products mentioned in discussions.
Amazon says audio recordings are processed in real time and then deleted. Transcripts are encrypted with device-controlled keys, and users can delete saved information at any time.
Core features, including 14 days of conversation memory, are free. The $11.99-per-month Bee Pro subscription adds integrations, expanded AI features and the desktop app; new customers receive a 30-day trial. Amazon has not specified broader international availability for either device.
