Amazon's Bee launches two new always-listening AI devices, starting at $75

Amazon on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, introduced Bee Frontier, a next-generation personal AI wearable, and Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized magnetic phone attachment, the first new Bee hardware since Amazon acquired the wearable maker — with Frontier available now at $74.99.

Amazon just put a $75 mic on your wrist that turns hallway plans into calendar invites — and, if you opt in, into Amazon shopping suggestions. The privacy architecture is the product pitch as much as the hardware: process, delete, encrypt with keys you hold. Wearable AI is no longer a demo. It is a retail SKU with a subscription attached to the world's largest store.

Amazon announced Bee Frontier, a next-generation personal AI wearable that can sit on a wrist or clip onto clothing, and Bee Eclipse, a magnetic phone attachment about the size of a credit card. Those lines are Amazon's.

Bee Frontier costs $74.99 and is available now on Amazon.com in Onyx, Lavender, and Sage. It is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. Battery life is up to seven days. It charges over USB-C. Dual microphones filter noise. A microphone button and a visible indicator light show when it is listening, and it can turn off automatically if there is no sound for a period the user sets. Those lines are Amazon's.

Bee Eclipse starts at $99.99 and is available soon, in Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush. Amazon says it lasts more than 21 days on a single charge. It uses the same conversation-summary, insights, and to-do workflow as Frontier. When recording of a call starts, it prompts for permission from the people on the call. Those lines are Amazon's.

The free tier covers conversation summaries and recaps, and 14 days of memory. Bee Pro is $11.99 a month: unlimited summaries; integrations with Amazon.com, Alexa+, and third-party apps; suggested to-dos, daily memories, a personal chat assistant, and conversation templates. The Pro features are Amazon's and TechCrunch's.

Privacy, as About Amazon describes Bee Private Compute: audio is processed in real time and then deleted. No audio is stored. Transcripts are encrypted with keys the device creates and controls. Amazon cannot access them unless the user shares. Users can delete anytime. An optional Alexa Voice ID can personalize Bee insights on Echo speakers. Those lines are Amazon's.

Integrations, as Amazon lists them: Gmail, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook for action items, draft emails, and calendar invites; Apple HealthKit; photos; Alexa+ hands-free summaries and to-dos; and Amazon.com personalized shopping recommendations from items mentioned in conversation. The companion mobile app is redesigned, and there is a new desktop app. Those lines are Amazon's.

TechCrunch notes these are the first new Bee products since Amazon acquired the wearable maker last year, and compares Frontier's price with Plaud Note at $159, Note Pro at $189, and Pocket at $129. Those lines are TechCrunch's.

In plain terms, Amazon said on Thursday that Bee Frontier, a $74.99 wearable, is on sale now, and Bee Eclipse, a magnetic phone clip from $99.99, is coming soon. Both listen, summarize, and can turn hallway talk into calendar invites. A $11.99-a-month Pro plan ties those summaries to Alexa+ and Amazon shopping. Amazon says the audio is processed and then deleted, not kept.
