Amazon’s Bee launched two new AI devices. Bee Frontier is a wearable for wrist or clothes. Bee Eclipse is a credit-card-sized recorder for smartphones. Both summarize conversations and create to-do lists. They integrate with Alexa and Amazon shopping. Frontier starts at $74.99 and Eclipse at $99.99. Free users get 14 days of memory. A $11.99 monthly Pro plan adds unlimited summaries and third-party integrations. Pro also includes suggested to-dos and a personal chat assistant. Devices use private computing and delete raw audio after processing. Transcripts are encrypted with user-controlled keys. Bee can connect to Alexa for voice recognition and hands-free queries. It works with Gmail, Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.
