Bee has expanded its lineup of AI-powered memory devices with Frontier and Eclipse, two personal assistants that transform conversations into reminders, summaries, and suggested actions. Frontier can be worn on the wrist or attached to clothing, while Eclipse introduces a magnetic design that connects directly to smartphones. Both process audio without storing recordings, offering users greater control over their information.
Frontier features noise-filtering microphones and up to seven days of battery life, while Eclipse operates for more than 21 days per charge. New Alexa+ connectivity enables voice access to saved information, while Amazon.com integration provides shopping suggestions based on conversations.
These additions give Bee opportunities to attract customers with different device preferences while expanding its connected services. Frontier costs $74.99, and Eclipse starts at $99.99. The optional $11.99 monthly Bee Pro subscription also supports recurring revenue through advanced features and integrations.
