Amazon unveiled two new AI wearables under its Bee brand: the $75 Bee Frontier, worn on the wrist or clothing, and the $100 Bee Eclipse, which attaches magnetically to a phone. Both devices record conversations or calls and use AI to generate transcripts, summaries, to-dos and reminders, viewable through a companion app.
Amazon has released two new Bee-branded devices that continuously record and transcribe conversations: the $75 wristband or clip-on Bee Frontier, with up to seven days of battery life and improved noise filtering, and the $100 phone-mounted Bee Eclipse. Amazon says the devices generate summaries, spot recurring themes and suggest actions or purchases, while asserting raw audio is never stored and users can delete transcripts. The Bee Frontier ships Thursday; the Bee Eclipse is coming soon.

Amazon is also launching a paid Bee Pro subscription at $11.99 a month alongside a free tier.
Apple introduced Siri Recaps, an Audio Intelligence feature on the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 that continuously monitors ambient audio to generate summaries of a wearer's day, including conversations. Apple says the feature processes sound in real time without recording, storing, or transcribing audio, distinguishing it from wake-word-only listening used for Siri commands.
