Amazon's Bee, a company acquired by the retail giant last year, has introduced two new personal AI devices. These include the Bee Frontier, a wearable device, and the Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized device. The launch represents Amazon's continued push into the AI gadget market.
The Bee Frontier, priced at $74.99, is an upgraded version of Bee's existing wearable. It can be worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing and comes in Onyx, Lavender, and Sage colors. It features dual microphones with upgraded noise filtering and up to seven days of battery life.
The Bee Eclipse, priced at $99.99, is a new credit-card-sized device that magnetically attaches to the back of a smartphone. It will be offered in Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush. The Eclipse functions similarly to other Bee devices, focusing on voice recording.
Both devices utilize AI to record, transcribe, and analyze conversations. Their purpose is to take notes from everyday discussions, generate actionable to-dos, summaries, and insights. For example, the Bee can remember agreed-upon dates and times for plans and create calendar invites.
The devices are designed to integrate with Google accounts for accessing emails and calendar information, as well as with Amazon services like Alexa+ and Amazon.com. A visible LED indicator on both the Frontier and Eclipse signals when the device is actively listening, addressing privacy considerations.
The Bee Eclipse positions Bee in direct competition with other AI devices like the Plaud Note or Pocket, but at a lower price point. The Bee Frontier replaces the previous Pioneer model, offering a smaller, lighter, and more colorful design compared to its predecessor.
