  "account": "Amazon's personal AI wearable maker, Bee, has announced two new devices since its acquisition by the retail giant. The first is the Bee Frontier, a next-generation device that can be worn on the wrist or pinned to clothes. The second is the Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized device that magnetically attaches to the back of a smartphone. The Bee Frontier is priced at $74.99, while the Bee Eclipse will be available for $99.99. Both devices aim to leverage AI to take notes from everyday conversations, turning them into actionable to-dos, summaries, and insights. For example, if you discuss plans with friends, the Bee would remember the date and time, then create a calendar invite. The devices come in various colors, and offer features like conversation summaries, 14 days of memory, integrations with Amazon.com, Alexa+, and third-party applications. They also use a private computing security architecture, ensuring that audio is processed and deleted in real-time, with only transcripts that are encrypted and controlled by the user available. With the addition of Amazon.com and Alexa, Bee users can make purchases or ask Alexa for their insights hands-free. The devices also integrate with existing productivity software, like Gmail and Google Calendar, allowing for drafting emails, setting up meetings, and surfacing action items.",
