What did Amazon launch?
Amazon introduced 2 new personal AI devices from Bee: the Bee Frontier wearable and the Bee Eclipse phone attachment, with new links to Alexa+ and Amazon.com.
It’s the first update to the Bee lineup since Amazon bought the San Francisco startup in July 2025.
What is Bee Frontier?
Bee Frontier is a refreshed wearable that clips to clothing or a wrist. It costs $75, up from the previous $50 model, and keeps battery life of up to 7 days.
Bloomberg describes it as a smaller, water-resistant version of the original. It comes in Onyx, Lavender and Sage.
What is Bee Eclipse?
Bee Eclipse is a credit card-sized recorder that attaches magnetically to the back of a phone. You don’t wear it.
It comes in Silver, Midnight, Honey and Blush. Amazon hasn’t given a specific release date.
Amazon Bee Frontier vs Bee Eclipse

| Availability | On sale now | Coming soon |

How much is the Bee Pro subscription?
Bee Pro costs $12 a month, with unlimited conversation summaries and desktop software for Zoom calls. The hardware is cheap, and the subscription is where Amazon makes its recurring money, which is a familiar pattern for the company.
How does the price compare with rivals?
According to TechCrunch’s reporting, Frontier undercuts Plaud’s Note (159),NotePro(189) and Pocket’s AI device ($129).
What about privacy?
Amazon says Bee devices are built so no one, including Amazon, can access your data, and no audio is ever stored. Users can delete their transcripts and summaries.
Critics keep raising one issue: bystanders who get recorded have no way to opt out. I’d read the privacy settings before buying, and I’d tell people before I record them.
Is it available in India?
Not yet. Amazon hasn’t announced a release outside the United States, and Frontier sells only on Amazon.com.
