Bee announces first products since Amazon acquisition
Amazon's personal AI wearable maker Bee introduced two new devices on Thursday: the Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse, its first launches since being acquired by Amazon last year.
Frontier wears on wrist or clothes, Eclipse clips to phone
The Bee Frontier can be worn on the wrist or pinned to clothes. The Bee Eclipse is a credit card sized device that magnetically attaches to the back of your smartphone.
Frontier costs $74.99, Eclipse $99.99
The Bee Frontier is priced at seventy four ninety nine dollars. The Bee Eclipse costs ninety nine ninety nine dollars. Both undercut competitors like the Plaud Note at one hundred fifty nine dollars.
Devices turn conversations into notes and to-dos
Both devices use AI to take notes from everyday conversations, allowing users to remember important things said and turn them into actionable to-dos, summaries, and insights.
Free tier offers 14 days of memory
All Bee devices create conversation summaries and recaps for free and offer fourteen days of memory.A Bee Pro subscription at eleven ninety nine dollars per month adds unlimited summaries, integrations with Amazon.
Audio deleted after processing, transcripts encrypted
Bee devices use private computing security. Audio is processed in real time then deleted. Transcripts are encrypted using keys your device creates and controls, meaning Amazon employees cannot access files unless you manually share them.
Frontier offers water resistance and seven day battery
The Bee Frontier has IP sixty seven water resistance, up to seven days of battery life, USB C charging, and dual microphones with advanced noise filtering.
Frontier available now, Eclipse coming soon
The Bee Frontier is available now on Amazon. The Bee Eclipse will be available soon thereafter. Both come with redesigned companion mobile apps and a new desktop app.
In short
Amazon's Bee launches two new AI wearables: the Frontier at $74.99 and Eclipse at $99.99, undercutting competitors while adding Amazon and Alexa integration.
