Amazon has introduced two new artificial intelligence devices designed to help people remember important conversations and manage everyday tasks. The new Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse can turn spoken discussions into summaries, reminders and to-do lists, giving users a way to keep track of details without constantly taking notes.
Announced on October 15, the devices expand Amazon’s personal AI product range under the Bee brand, which it acquired in 2025. The launch also brings new connections with Alexa+ and Amazon.com, allowing users to access information through voice commands and receive shopping suggestions based on items mentioned in conversations.
The idea behind the devices is simple: people often forget small but important details during busy days. A task discussed at work, a date agreed with a friend or a product someone recommends can easily slip from memory. Bee aims to capture these details and make them easier to find later.
Bee Frontier is designed for everyday use
The Bee Frontier is a wearable device that can be worn on the wrist with a silicone band or clipped to clothing. Priced at $74.99 in the United States, it is available in Onyx, Lavender and Sage.
The device has two microphones with noise-filtering technology to help capture relevant speech in places such as offices and restaurants. It also has IP67 water resistance, USB-C charging and a battery life of up to seven days.
Users can activate or stop audio processing with a physical button. A visible indicator light shows when the device is active, and users can set it to switch off automatically after a period without sound.
Once activated, Bee Frontier can help users revisit conversations, identify action points and create reminders. Someone leaving a meeting, for example, could use the generated summary to recall what was agreed and which tasks need to be completed.
The device is intended to reduce the need for manual note-taking and help users remain engaged in conversations rather than concentrating on recording every detail.
Bee Eclipse attaches to a smartphone
The second product, Bee Eclipse, is a slim device roughly the size of a credit card. It attaches magnetically to the back of a smartphone and is designed for people who would rather not wear another gadget.
Bee Eclipse costs $99.99 in the United States and is expected to go on sale soon. Amazon says it can operate for more than 21 days on a single charge. It will be available in Silver, Midnight, Honey and Blush.
Like Frontier, Eclipse can turn conversations into summaries, insights and task lists. It can also capture both sides of a phone call when users activate the feature, helping them remember arrangements and follow-up actions.
For instance, a user planning a trip over the phone could later review the details discussed, such as arrival times and other arrangements. Amazon says users are prompted to obtain permission from call participants whenever recording is started.
Both devices include physical controls and a visible indicator light to show when audio is being processed.
AI connects with calendars, email and Alexa+
Bee’s features go beyond transcription. The service can connect with tools such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook to help users turn conversations into practical actions.
After a meeting, it can identify follow-up tasks, draft emails and suggest calendar invitations. Users can review summaries through the Bee mobile app or a new desktop application. Templates are available for different situations, including lectures, care plans and brainstorming sessions.
Bee can also identify recurring themes in a user’s conversations and suggest goals or next steps. The company says its service supports more than 40 languages, although availability of individual features may vary.
The new integration with Alexa+ allows users to ask for conversation summaries and to-do lists through compatible Echo devices. Instead of opening an app, users can ask Alexa to recall information from a recent discussion.
An Amazon.com integration can also suggest products mentioned in conversations. If someone talks about needing a particular household item, for example, the service may surface a relevant shopping recommendation on Amazon or within the Bee apps.
Some of these advanced features require a paid subscription.
Privacy is central to the product
Devices that process conversations throughout the day raise questions about privacy, consent and how personal information is handled. Amazon says Bee processes audio in real time and deletes it after processing, rather than storing the original recordings.
Under its Bee Private Compute system, transcripts and summaries are encrypted using keys controlled by the user. Amazon says the system is designed to prevent the company itself from accessing this information unless users choose to share it.
Users can switch audio processing on and off and delete stored transcripts and summaries. The indicator light is intended to make it clear when the devices are active.
However, users should consider the privacy of other people in the conversation and follow applicable recording and consent laws. The presence of an indicator light does not replace the need to obtain permission where required.
Subscription and availability
All Bee customers receive conversation summaries, recaps and 14-day memory at no additional charge. The Bee Pro subscription costs $11.99 per month in the United States, with a 30-day free trial for new customers.
The paid plan adds unlimited recent conversation summaries, suggested tasks, daily memories, a personal AI assistant, third-party app integrations, Alexa+ and Amazon.com connections, and access to the desktop app.
Amazon has not announced Indian prices or a launch date for either device in India.
The new products place Amazon in the growing market for AI wearables and personal assistants. Their success will depend on whether they can reliably capture useful information, fit naturally into daily routines and convince users that the convenience outweighs the privacy concerns and subscription costs.
