For people who struggle to remember details from a conversation, Amazon is pitching a wearable that takes notes without a phone in hand. The company introduced two Bee devices on Thursday: the wrist-worn Bee Frontier and the phone-mounted Bee Eclipse.
Bee Frontier costs $74.99 and can be worn as a wristband or clipped to clothing. Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized accessory that attaches magnetically to a smartphone, costs $99.99. The products are the first new Bee devices since Amazon acquired the AI wearable maker in July 2025.
From conversations to reminders
Both devices use microphones to transcribe and analyze conversations, then generate summaries, reminders and suggested actions. A person discussing vacation plans on a call, for instance, could get a record of flight times or hotel bookings, according to the company.
Amazon says Bee is designed to identify details users might otherwise forget and turn them into practical follow-ups. The Frontier is an updated version of Bee’s wearable bracelet; Amazon says it can run for up to seven days on a charge. The Eclipse offers a phone-attached option for people who do not want to wear a device.
Users can connect Bee with Alexa+ for hands-free summaries and to-do lists, or with Amazon.com for personalized shopping. Amazon also says the service can connect to apps including Gmail and Google Calendar.
Privacy claims and controls
The devices raise a familiar question for always-listening technology: what happens to the audio? Amazon says recordings are processed in real time and deleted, rather than stored. Transcripts are encrypted with keys created and controlled by the user’s device, and remain accessible only to the user unless they choose to share them.
A press of a button turns either device on or off, with an LED indicating when it is active. That control is central to Amazon’s privacy pitch, though the company’s stated protections depend on users managing when the microphones are switched on.
The launch extends Amazon’s push into personal AI hardware, where devices promise to capture everyday context and convert it into useful prompts. The Bee Frontier starts at $74.99.
