The Bee family grows with two new members.

01

What these devices do and how they work

Both devices listen to conversations and convert them into summaries, checklists, and insights. You can use Bee to turn a discussed plan into a calendar invite, or note a care plan talked through with a doctor. The company says audio is processed on-device, not sent to the cloud, and raw audio is deleted after processing. Transcripts are encrypted with keys you control on your device.

What you pay for beyond the basics

All Bee devices include 14 days of memory for conversation summaries. If you want more, Bee Pro costs $11.99 per month and adds unlimited conversation summaries, plus integrations with Amazon services, Alexa, and other apps. Pro users also get suggested to-dos, daily memories, and a personal chat assistant with templates.

03

What it means for your privacy

Privacy rails are built in. By processing audio on-device and encrypting transcripts, Bee aims to minimize data access. An optional Voice ID feature can let Alexa recognize your voice to reveal Bee insights, but you must opt in, and you can delete transcripts and summaries anytime.

Everyday life: what readers should know

If you already use AI helpers, these Bee devices offer a lower-cost path to capture notes from talks, classes, or family planning. The on-device approach reduces data sent to the cloud, but you’ll want to review what gets stored in your Bee account and how you use Pro features for work or school.
