Amazon’s always-listening Bee wearable can now help you buy stuff

Amazon has announced two new Bee devices: the $74.99 Bee Frontier, an updated wearable with dual microphones and seven-day battery life, and the $99.99 Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-shaped gadget that attaches magnetically to phones and offers 21 days of battery. Both are always-listening AI wearables that summarize conversations, provide transcripts and to-dos, and integrate with services like Gmail and Google Calendar. Amazon also introduced a $11.99 monthly Bee Pro subscription that unlocks unlimited summaries, a personal chat assistant, and Amazon/Alexa Plus compatibility, enabling shopping suggestions based on conversations. The devices encrypt data via Private Compute and don’t store audio, addressing privacy concerns.
