Briefings

Amazon acquired the startup Bee in 2024 to develop an always-listening AI wearable that summarized conversations. The company now offers two new devices: the $74.99 Bee Frontier and the $99.99 Bee Eclipse, both released in 2026. These gadgets are marketed as tools to help users stay present during daily interactions by listening to conversations and providing summaries, transcripts, insights, and to-dos. The original Bee device was launched last year, and the new models are framed as gadgets to assist with focus rather than productivity. The Verge provides the full story on the new offerings.
