Amazon launches two AI devices that listen in on your conversations and summarise them

A person wearing Amazon’s Bee Frontier can place it on a wrist or clip it to clothing, giving the device a place in conversations that might once have stayed between the people in the room. The company introduced the Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse on 15 October 2026.

Amazon describes Bee as personal artificial intelligence that remembers conversations and turns them into summaries, to-do lists, reminders and insights. The promise is practical: a device intended to hold on to details that a user may otherwise forget.

Bee Frontier uses dual microphones with advanced noise filtering. It has IP67 water resistance and up to seven days of battery life. It costs $74.99 and comes in Lavender, Sage and Onyx.

Bee Eclipse takes a different form. It is a magnetic attachment for a phone, about the size of a credit card, with more than 21 days of battery life on a single charge. It costs $99.99 and is available in Silver, Midnight, Honey and Blush. Bee Pro costs USD 11.99 a month.

Amazon says Frontier was designed around privacy principles that let users choose when Bee processes audio, using a microphone button. A visible light shows when the device is on. For Eclipse, Amazon says users are prompted to seek permission from call participants whenever recording begins.

According to Amazon, Bee processes audio in real time before deleting it. The company says audio is never stored, accessed or shared. It says transcripts are encrypted with keys created and controlled by the device.
