Amazon has introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) wristband designed to listen to conversations and retain important details on behalf of the wearer.
The device, known as the Bee Frontier, forms part of a pair of personal AI products announced on 15 October 2026.
It can be worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing and uses dual microphones with noise filtering to capture spoken exchanges.
Once activated, the wristband identifies key information from discussions and converts it into useful outputs.
These include conversation summaries, reminders, to-do lists and personalised insights accessible through a companion mobile application and a new desktop application.
Amazon also revealed the Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized magnetic accessory that attaches to the back of a smartphone and offers the same core capabilities.
Both devices stem from Bee, an AI wearables company that Amazon acquired in 2025.
The Bee Frontier is priced at $74.99 and is available immediately in the United States, while the Bee Eclipse starts at $99.99 and will launch later.
Basic features such as conversation summaries and fourteen days of memory are included at no extra cost.
Advanced functions, including unlimited summaries, integration with Alexa+ and shopping recommendations on Amazon.com, require a Bee Pro subscription costing eleven dollars and ninety-nine cents per month.
Privacy Controls and Practical Uses
Amazon states that the devices do not store raw audio and that transcripts are encrypted.
Users can delete conversation histories and summaries at any time, and the company says its Bee Private Compute system prevents even Amazon staff from accessing private data.
The wristband offers up to seven days of battery life, IP67 water resistance and Universal Serial Bus Type-C (USB-C) charging.
The Eclipse model is claimed to last more than twenty-one days on a single charge.
In everyday use the technology can turn casual mentions of plans, tasks or needed items into organised lists and product suggestions.
It can also connect to external applications such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook to draft follow-up emails or create calendar events based on what was discussed.
The launch places Amazon more firmly in the emerging market for always-available AI wearables that aim to reduce the need for manual note-taking.
Competition already exists from other technology companies developing similar listening and memory devices.
