WIREUNWIRED BRIEF

Amazon’s personal artificial intelligence wearable maker, Bee, announced its first hardware releases since being acquired by the retail giant last year. The company introduced the Bee Frontier, a wearable device priced at $74.99 that can go on the wrist or pin to clothing, and the Bee Eclipse, a $99.99 credit-card-sized device that magnetically attaches to smartphone backs.

Both personal AI devices process everyday conversations to generate summaries, action items, and calendar invites for tasks like lecture notes or medical care plans. The free tier includes conversation summaries and 14 days of memory. An $11.99 monthly Bee Pro subscription adds unlimited summaries, daily memories, a personal chat assistant, and integrations with Amazon.com, Alexa+, and third-party apps like Gmail and Google Calendar.

For security, Bee uses a private computing architecture that deletes raw audio in real time without storing it. Transcripts are encrypted using device-controlled keys, which the company states prevents anyone else, including Amazon employees, from accessing them without manual sharing. The Bee Frontier features up to seven days of battery life, IP67 water resistance, USB-C charging, and dual microphones.

The Frontier is available now on Amazon, while the Bee Eclipse will launch soon in silver, midnight, honey, and blush.
