TL;DR: The all-new Bee Frontier is now available to buy for $74.99 at Amazon. The Bee Eclipse is coming soon for $99.99 (request email updates).
Earlier this year, Amazon quietly made a splash in the wearable tech space by acquiring Bee, a startup building a wearable AI assistant designed to record, transcribe, and synthesize your daily conversations into actionable summaries.
If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on this always-listening AI wearable, the wait is over: the Bee Frontier is now available to buy for $74.99 at Amazon. There’s also a listing for the Bee Eclipse ($99.99), but right now you can only request to be notified when it gets released.
At just $74.99, the Bee Frontier launches as one of the most accessible entry points for dedicated personal AI hardware. Instead of requiring you to pull out your phone or tap a screen during meetings, lunch chats, or lectures, the Bee Frontier is designed to be worn on your wrist or clipped to clothing. It uses dual-directional microphones to capture audio and generate real-time summaries, task lists, and meeting notes.

Can the Bee Frontier really replace your smartwatch? It doesn’t have a screen, it won’t play your Spotify playlists, and if you work in an office where people are sensitive about being recorded. We should also note that while the initial purchase is fairly cheap, long-term power users will want to keep an eye on cloud transcription limits and Bee Pro app fees down the road.
