Description
Bee is a low-cost always-listening wearable AI assistant, worn as a bracelet, that records and transcribes the wearer's day and builds to-dos, reminders, and summaries. It launched commercially at about $49.99 plus a ~$19/month subscription and was independently reviewed as functional. Amazon announced its acquisition of Bee on July 22 2025 (confirmed by CNBC), with the deal closing by January 2026; Bee has continued as a distinct Amazon product line with ongoing feature development. The registry records it at commercial maturity (now Amazon-owned, still shipping), correcting the dispatch's preliminary 'consumer-promised' label. It is part of the recurring pattern of large technology companies acquiring AI-hardware startups (Bee to Amazon, Limitless to Meta, Humane assets to HP, Mentee to Mobileye).
