Amazon introduced two new always-listening AI devices: the $75 Bee Frontier, a wrist-worn or clip-on upgrade with improved noise-filtering microphones and up to seven days of battery life, and the $100 Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized device that attaches magnetically to a smartphone. Both devices record, transcribe and analyze conversations using AI, continuing the Bee product line Amazon acquired in July 2025. The Bee Frontier launched Thursday, while the Bee Eclipse is said to be coming soon.

Bee, the wearable AI startup Amazon acquired over a year ago, has released two new AI devices along with a Pro subscription tier and software updates. The flagship, the Bee Frontier, replaces the original Pioneer with a smaller, lighter design, more color options, IP67 water and dust resistance, and dual noise-filtering microphones. It retains the same 7-day battery life and USB-C charging as its predecessor, and still lets users record and summarize conversations via a single button press.
