Amazon is getting into AI wearables.

Amazon just snapped up Bee, the Fitbit-style wearable that quietly transcribes everything you say and serves up AI-powered daily summaries, reminders, and suggestions. For $49.99, Bee listens to your conversations (and, if you allow it, your emails, calendar, location, photos, etc.) to build a searchable history—but reviewers warn it sometimes confuses real-life chatter with TV shows, TikToks, or music.
Amazon says it’ll honor Bee’s no-audio-storage policy and give users plenty of privacy controls, insisting it’s “never in the business of selling our customers’ personal information.” All Bee employees have been offered roles at Amazon, though the deal’s financial terms remain “confidential.” According to Bee’s CEO, the acquisition is aimed at bringing “truly personal, agentic AI” to a much wider audience.
