Amazon acquires Bee, the AI wearable that records everything you say


Amazon has acquired the AI wearables startup Bee, which makes a bracelet and an Apple Watch app that record your day-to-day life to function as an AI assistant.

This acquisition signals Amazon’s interest in developing wearable AI devices, a different avenue from its voice-controlled home assistant products like its line of Echo speakers. In its current privacy policies, Bee says that users can delete their data at any time, and that audio recordings are not saved, stored, or used for AI training. Bee also says it’s working on a feature to allow users to define boundaries — both based on topic and location — that will automatically pause the device’s learning.
