π° What Happened
AI gadgets are moving from phones onto our bodies. A roundup from TechCrunch lists the most notable ones. The Bee pendant costs $49.99 and clips to clothes or fits like a fitness band. It records what it hears, learns your routines and makes reminders. A mute button lets you switch it off. The app costs $19 a month and works only on iPhone for now. Amazon bought the startup in July 2025.
π The Backstory
Amazon has now launched two new Bee devices. The Bee Frontier costs $74.99 and fits on a wrist or clips to clothing. The Bee Eclipse costs $99.99 and is the size of a credit card. It sticks magnetically to the back of a phone. The company pitches Bee as a cheaper option than rival AI wearables. OpenAI is also working on a small AI companion device, so the market is crowding up.
π― Why It Matters
Always-on devices can be handy, but they also record private moments. Buyers should think about who else can hear what they say.
