Amazon launches Bee Frontier, a $74.99 AI recorder

The wristband is on sale at Amazon.com and the Eclipse has no date; Amazon has not said whether either will reach Mexico or at what price.

Anyone who wants one of Bee's new recorders will have to buy it, for now, at Amazon.com: there is no price or date for Mexico. Amazon put the Bee Frontier on sale on Oct. 15, 2026. It is a wristband or clip that records conversations and turns them into summaries and tasks. The Bee Eclipse, which attaches by magnet to the back of a phone, will come "soon", with no date.

The Frontier comes in Onyx, Lavender and Sage, resists water and dust (IP67) and lasts up to seven days on one USB-C charge, according to TechCrunch. The Pioneer, the earlier $50 model, is no longer sold, according to Engadget. The Eclipse, the size of a credit card, comes in Silver, Midnight, Honey and Blush, and Bee says it lasts more than 21 days on a charge.

The Bee Pro subscription adds:

  • Unlimited summaries, suggested tasks, daily memories and templates.
  • Integrations with Amazon.com and Alexa+, Amazon's assistant, to suggest items mentioned in conversations.
  • A desktop app for Mac and Windows.

Without paying, memory reaches 14 days. New customers get 30 days of Pro at no cost, and people who already used Bee keep their current features for free, according to Engadget.

On privacy, everything comes from the company itself. Amazon says it does not keep the original audio: it processes it on the spot and deletes it. Transcripts are encrypted with keys the device creates and manages. According to the company, nobody else sees them unless the user decides to share them, and that includes its own staff. There is no independent audit of those claims, or outside test of the battery.

Engadget flags a risk with the Eclipse: its light could be mistaken for the charging light rather than a sign that it is recording. Bee says permission must be asked of people on a call each time recording starts; how that works in an in-person conversation has not been verified, and whether recording others requires their consent depends on local law.

Amazon does not say in which countries it sells the devices or when the Eclipse will arrive.
