Amazon's Bee AI wearable technology, acquired by Amazon in the past year, has launched its first new hardware since the merger. The Bee Frontier, which can be worn as a wrist device or clipped onto clothing, and the Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized accessory that attaches magnetically to the back of a smartphone, are the new offerings. The Frontier is priced at $74.99, while the Eclipse is priced at $99.99.
Both devices employ AI to record conversations from daily life and transform them into summaries, insights, and to-do items. For instance, Bee can remember dates and times discussed while making plans with friends and create a calendar event. It can also take lecture notes or capture details from a conversation with a doctor. The devices provide free conversation summaries and recaps, retaining 14 days of memory.
A Bee Pro subscription for $11.99 per month provides unlimited conversation summaries, suggested to-dos, a daily memory tracker, a personal chat assistant, conversation templates, and integrations with Amazon.com, Alexa+, and third-party services.
Bee's audio is deleted after processing using a private computing security architecture. The devices process audio in real time and subsequently delete it. Conversation transcripts are encrypted using keys controlled by the user's device, ensuring even Amazon's employees cannot access them unless the user shares them. Users can delete transcripts and summaries at any time.
The Bee can connect with Alexa, allowing users to make purchases through Amazon.com and receive Bee summaries, insights, and to-dos via voice commands. Bee can also integrate with Amazon.com, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook, enabling it to draft emails, schedule meetings, and identify action items. Users can also upload photos or link Apple HealthKit data to incorporate additional wellness information into its insights.
The Bee Frontier boasts a seven-day battery life, a single button for power control, and an indicator light signaling when a conversation is being summarized. The device is water-resistant and features two microphones with advanced noise filtering. Both the Frontier and Eclipse come with a redesigned mobile app, as well as a new desktop app. The Bee Frontier is currently available on Amazon, with the Bee Eclipse to follow shortly.
