**[Amazon Launches Two AI Portable Recorders: Your Casual Words May Turn Into Shopping Recommendations]** Beating AI News Flash: Over a year after acquiring Bee, Amazon has launched two portable AI devices. The Bee Frontier, priced at $74.99, can be worn on the wrist or clipped onto clothing. It features dual microphones, offers up to 7 days of battery life, and is now available for purchase. The Bee Eclipse, priced at $99.99, is only the size of a credit card, can magnetically attach to the back of a phone, and is capable of recording both sides of a conversation. It boasts a battery life of over 21 days but is not yet available for sale. Both devices can continuously listen to daily conversations once activated, summarizing meeting content, appointment times, and to-do lists. They also integrate with applications like Gmail and Calendar to draft follow-up emails and schedule meetings. Most notably, Amazon has connected Bee to Alexa+ and its own shopping platform. For instance, if you casually mention during a conversation that you're running out of dish soap at home, after connecting to Amazon.com, you might see related recommendations on the shopping homepage. Last month, Amazon blocked Meta Muse's automated shopping feature on its marketplace, citing unauthorized use. Now, Amazon is integrating its own AI into shopping recommendations, aiming to capture users' shopping needs at an even earlier stage. The free version of Bee offers only 14 days of memory. To access features like third-party app integration, Alexa+, and shopping recommendations, users need to subscribe to Bee Pro for $11.99 per month. [Original Link]
