Amazon Unveils $75 Frontier and $100 Eclipse AI Listeners Under Bee

Summary
$75 Frontier and $100 Eclipse are Amazon's new Bee-branded portable listeners, built to capture a user's day and surface reminders, to-dos and other AI insights.
Amazon said the devices pull from calendars, apps and conversations while turned on, with Eclipse attaching to a smartphone and Frontier worn as a bracelet.
Bee keeps data for 14 days by default, offers longer retention through a $12-a-month subscription, and can connect to Amazon's Alexa+ generative AI voice service.
Privacy is central to the pitch: Amazon said users choose when the devices listen, can delete insights or past conversations, and the company does not store audio.
The launch expands Amazon's recent push into pricier hardware and puts Bee against Meta's AI wearables and startups selling always-listening assistants.
