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.

Vocci has released a titanium-coated ring, weighing under 6 grams, that lets users record meetings and conversations by double-tapping a button, with a hold-to-ask feature for querying its AI assistant through a companion app. The ring offers roughly 8 hours of recording per charge, a charging case that adds three more charges, and produces automated transcripts, highlights, and AI-generated summaries of conversations.
