Amazon's Bee division on October 15, 2026 unveiled two new personal AI devices — Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse. These are the company's first products since Amazon acquired Bee last year. Both devices listen to everyday conversations and automatically turn them into summaries, task lists, and analytical notes. The news came via TechCrunch and the company's official announcement.
Bee Frontier is on sale now at Amazon.com, while Bee Eclipse arrives in the coming days. Frontier is priced at $74.99, Eclipse at $99.99. Both devices run on a new privacy architecture called Bee Private Compute: audio is processed in real time and then completely deleted — audio is never stored.
Bee Frontier: A $74.99 Wrist-Worn Device
Bee Frontier is worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing. The device comes in Lavender, Sage, and Onyx. It is dust- and water-resistant to the IP67 standard. A single charge lasts up to 7 days, charging via USB-C. Two microphones can filter out ambient noise, and the device's single button comes with an LED indicator.
Frontier debuted at $74.99, placing it among devices designed for everyday use. Three color options are available — Lavender, Sage, and Onyx. Wearing it on the wrist or clipping it to clothing lets users carry it with them all day. The 7-day battery life removes the need for daily charging, and USB-C charging is a widely adopted standard. The dual-microphone system is designed to capture conversations clearly even in noisy environments, while the single button is presented as a simple way to control the device. The LED indicator signals the device's status. Frontier is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
Bee Eclipse: A Magnetic Card for the Back of Your Phone
Bee Eclipse is a slim credit-card-sized device that attaches magnetically to the back of a phone. It costs $99.99 and comes in Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush. A single charge lasts more than 21 days — three times the 7-day figure of Frontier. The device is not on sale yet; the company announced it will be released soon.
Eclipse is designed not as a standalone wearable accessory but as an add-on that sticks to the phone. The magnetic attachment lets users carry the device with their phone at all times — there's no separate gadget to remember. Its credit-card size makes it unnoticeable in a pocket. More than 21 days of battery life means the device can run for nearly a month without recharging. The four colors — Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush — offer options for different tastes. The $99.99 price positions it as a more expensive product than Frontier, differentiated by longer battery life and a compact form factor.
Conversations Become Summaries, Summaries Become Tasks
Both devices turn everyday conversations into summaries, task lists, and analytical notes. As an example, the company cited remembering a meeting date agreed with friends and automatically creating a calendar invite. The devices integrate with Gmail, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook — so meetings and tasks feed directly into the user's existing workflow.
New integration with Alexa+ and Amazon.com opens up additional possibilities. Users can ask Alexa by voice to read out meeting summaries and tasks. Products mentioned in conversation appear on Amazon's homepage as personalized recommendations — a direct link between the conversations the device hears and the online shopping experience.
For integration, the devices work with three core services: Gmail, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook. All three are widely used productivity tools. A date mentioned in conversation automatically becomes a calendar invite, and tasks are added to the relevant lists. The Alexa+ integration adds voice control — users can request a meeting summary without touching their phone. And the Amazon.com integration turns conversation context into shopping recommendations: for example, a product mentioned in conversation shows up on Amazon's homepage.
Bee Pro Subscription and Privacy Guarantees
The devices' full capabilities unlock with the Bee Pro subscription — $11.99 per month. The subscription includes unlimited conversation summaries, third-party integrations, daily memories, and a chat assistant. Summaries are available on the free plan too, but memory is limited to 14 days. New customers get a 30-day free trial of Bee Pro.
Privacy was presented as Bee's core promise. The Bee Private Compute architecture processes audio in real time and deletes it immediately — the company stresses that audio is never stored. Transcripts are encrypted only with keys created and controlled by the device itself, and users can delete their transcripts at any time.

The subscription structure has two tiers. The free tier includes conversation summaries, but memory is limited to 14 days — meaning the device doesn't remember conversations older than 14 days. Bee Pro offers unlimited summaries, broad integration with third-party services, daily updated memories, and a chat assistant you can converse with. New customers can try Pro features free for 30 days. The privacy guarantees rest on three pillars: audio is never stored, transcripts are encrypted only with the device's keys, and users can delete transcripts at any time.
