亚马逊新款AI设备可以聆听对话并推荐商品——如果你选择加入的话

内容总结:
亚马逊去年收购的AI可穿戴设备初创公司Bee推出新功能,可将用户日常对话中提及的购物需求转化为亚马逊网站上的商品推荐。例如,用户随口提到洗碗液用完了,亚马逊网站及Bee的手机和桌面应用便会推送相关产品推荐。该功能采取用户主动选择加入的方式,需将Bee账户与亚马逊网站连接,且Bee表示不会在未经用户同意的情况下与亚马逊共享数据。此功能需要订阅每月12美元的Bee Pro服务。
亚马逊同时发布了被收购后首批新款Bee设备:售价74.99美元的Bee Frontier腕带(可夹在衣物上)和起售价99.99美元的Bee Eclipse(可磁吸在手机背面)。Bee Frontier即日起发售,配备双麦克风,续航最长七天,支持IP67防水;Bee Eclipse大小如信用卡,单次充电可使用超过21天,即将上市。
Bee可将对话转化为摘要、待办事项和提醒,用户可在Bee手机应用或新桌面应用中查看。Bee还能连接Gmail、谷歌日历和微软Outlook等应用,在通话或会议后列出行动事项、起草跟进邮件或创建日历邀请。用户还可将Bee与Apple HealthKit及照片关联。多数功能需订阅Bee Pro,未订阅用户可获得对话摘要和14天记忆,新用户可免费使用30天Bee Pro。
在隐私方面,亚马逊表示Bee运行于名为“Bee Private Compute”的系统,对话在隔离环境中处理,“包括亚马逊在内的任何人都无法访问用户数据”。音频处理后即删除,转录文本由用户设备控制的密钥加密。两款新设备均通过单键开关,运行时显示指示灯。Bee Eclipse在通话时会提示用户每次征得通话对方同意。
亚马逊于2025年7月收购Bee,交易价格未披露。当时这家总部位于旧金山的初创公司由联合创始人Maria de Lourdes Zollo和Ethan Sutin领导,已融资700万美元,并售出一款售价49.99美元的Bee Pioneer腕带。此次更新将Bee与亚马逊两大消费业务连接:通过商品推荐接入在线商店,以及通过让用户在Echo设备上向Alexa+询问Bee记录的内容接入Alexa+。
其他科技巨头也在布局AI设备:苹果上月宣布Siri Recap功能,将在新款Apple Watch上总结对话,今年晚些时候进入测试版;Meta于2025年12月收购对话记录吊坠制造商Limitless,上月推出Muse Charm;OpenAI正与前苹果设计师Jony Ive合作开发硬件。Bee还面临Plaud、Omi、Friend等初创公司以及Granola、Otter等AI笔记应用的竞争。
另一方面,亚马逊正阻止其他公司的AI代理进入其商店。上月,亚马逊阻止了Meta的Muse助手在亚马逊网站上购物,此前还曾对Perplexity、谷歌和OpenAI的购物代理采取类似行动。
中文翻译:
亚马逊去年收购的AI可穿戴设备初创公司Bee,其产品能够记住人们在日常对话中说过的话。周四上午宣布的一项新更新包含一项功能,可将这些随口说出的话转化为亚马逊网站上的购物建议。
举例来说,据亚马逊描述,某人可能会不经意间提到家里的洗洁精用完了,随后亚马逊网站以及Bee的手机和桌面应用中就会显示相关产品推荐。亚马逊将其宣传为一种帮助人们记住购买所需物品的方式。
这正是许多人长期以来怀疑自己手机在暗中做的事情——监听对话并推送相关内容或广告。研究人员尚未发现这方面的证据。无论如何,亚马逊的不同之处在于公开地做这件事——并且让它成为自愿的。
该功能需要用户主动选择开启,也就是说,除非用户选择将Bee账户与亚马逊网站关联,否则该功能不会启用。Bee表示,未经用户同意,不会与亚马逊共享数据。
亚马逊网站的集成功能需要订阅Bee Pro,月费12美元,该订阅还包括不限量的对话摘要以及向Alexa+询问Bee所记录内容的功能。
新硬件:该功能是一项更广泛公告的一部分,其中还包括亚马逊旗下首批新Bee设备:Bee Frontier,一款售价74.99美元的手环,也可夹在衣物上;以及Bee Eclipse,可磁吸在手机背面,起售价99.99美元。
Bee Frontier现已上市,配备双麦克风,电池续航最长七天,具备IP67防水等级。Bee Eclipse大小约相当于一张信用卡,单次充电可使用超过21天,亚马逊表示即将上市。
亚马逊表示,Bee让人们可以专注于对话本身,而无需做笔记,它能记录诸如与朋友约定见面的时间和地点等细节。这些设备可将对话转化为摘要、待办事项和提醒。
用户可以在Bee手机应用或新的桌面应用中查看摘要,这些摘要会根据不同类型的对话进行格式化,如讲座、护理计划和头脑风暴会议。Bee还能识别对话中反复出现的主题,并建议目标和行动。
Bee可连接Gmail、Google日历和Microsoft Outlook等应用。在通话或会议结束后,它可以列出行动事项、起草跟进邮件或根据对话内容创建日历邀请。
用户还可以将Bee关联到Apple HealthKit和自己的照片。其中大多数功能,包括桌面应用和第三方集成,同样需要订阅Bee Pro。
不订阅的用户可以获得对话摘要和14天的记忆存储。新用户可免费获得30天的Bee Pro试用。
Bee如何处理隐私:亚马逊表示,Bee运行在其称为“Bee Private Compute”的系统上,该系统在隔离环境中处理对话,“包括亚马逊在内的任何人都无法访问你的数据”。音频在处理后被删除,文字记录使用由用户设备控制的密钥进行加密。
两款新设备均通过单个按钮开关,运行时会有指示灯显示。据亚马逊介绍,在通话场景中,Bee Eclipse每次启动时都会提示用户征得通话中其他人的同意。
Bee与亚马逊:亚马逊于2025年7月以未披露的价格收购了Bee。当时,这家由联合创始人Maria de Lourdes Zollo和Ethan Sutin领导的旧金山初创公司已融资700万美元,并售出了一款售价49.99美元、名为Bee Pioneer的手环。
周四的更新将Bee与亚马逊两大消费者业务相连:通过产品推荐连接其在线商店;通过让用户在Echo设备上向Alexa+询问Bee所记录的内容,连接其长期语音助手的新版本Alexa+。
亚马逊并非唯一押注AI设备的科技巨头。
- 苹果上月发布了Siri Recap,这是一项需主动开启的功能,可在其新款Apple Watch上总结对话内容,预计今年晚些时候推出测试版。
- Meta于2025年12月收购了对话记录吊坠制造商Limitless,并于上月发布了Muse Charm——一款为其Muse AI助手设计的钥匙扣大小的设备,预计今年12月发货。
- OpenAI正在与前苹果设计师Jony Ive合作开发自己的硬件。
Bee还面临来自Plaud、Omi和Friend等初创公司的竞争,这些公司生产的AI录音器和吊坠可以监听对话;同时也面临来自Granola和Otter等AI笔记应用的竞争,这些应用在手机上运行,无需额外设备。
在另一条战线上,亚马逊正在努力阻止其他公司的AI代理进入其商店。上个月,它阻止了Meta的Muse助手在亚马逊网站上购物,此前还针对Perplexity、Google和OpenAI的购物代理采取了类似行动。

Bee, the AI wearables startup Amazon acquired last year, makes devices that remember what people say in everyday conversations. A new update, announced Thursday morning, includes a feature that turns those passing remarks into shopping suggestions on Amazon.com.
For example, as described by Amazon, someone might mention offhand that they’re out of dish soap, and a product recommendation would show up on Amazon.com and in the Bee mobile and desktop apps. Amazon pitches it as a way for people to remember to buy things they need.
It’s the kind of thing many people have long suspected their phones of doing secretly, listening to conversations and serving up related content or ads. Researchers haven’t found evidence of that. Either way, Amazon’s twist is to do it openly — and to make it voluntary.
The feature is opt-in, meaning it won’t happen unless users choose to connect their Bee accounts to Amazon.com, and Bee says it won’t share data with Amazon without user consent.
The Amazon.com integration requires Bee Pro, a $12 monthly subscription that also includes unlimited conversation summaries and the ability to ask Alexa+ about things Bee has captured.
New hardware: The feature is part of a broader announcement that includes the first new Bee devices under Amazon’s ownership: Bee Frontier, a $74.99 wristband that can also clip onto clothing, and Bee Eclipse, which attaches magnetically to the back of a phone and starts at $99.99.
Bee Frontier, available now, has dual microphones, up to seven days of battery life and IP67 water resistance. Bee Eclipse, about the size of a credit card, runs more than 21 days on a charge and will be available soon, Amazon says.
Amazon says Bee lets people pay attention to a conversation instead of taking notes, keeping track of details such as when and where they agreed to meet a friend. The devices turn conversations into summaries, to-dos and reminders.
Users can read their summaries in the Bee mobile app or a new desktop app, formatted for different kinds of conversations, such as lectures, care plans and brainstorming sessions. Bee also picks up on recurring themes in conversations and suggests goals and actions.
Bee connects to apps including Gmail, Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. After a call or meeting, it can list action items, draft follow-up emails or create calendar invites based on the conversation.
Users can also link Bee to Apple HealthKit and to their photos. Most of those features, including the desktop app and third-party integrations, also require Bee Pro.
Without a subscription, Bee users get conversation summaries and 14 days of memory. New customers get 30 days of Bee Pro free.
How Bee handles privacy: Amazon says Bee runs on a system it calls Bee Private Compute, which processes conversations in an isolated environment where “no one, including Amazon, can access your data.” Audio is deleted after it’s processed, and transcripts are encrypted with keys controlled by the user’s device.
Both new devices turn on and off with a single button and show a light when they’re running. For phone calls, Bee Eclipse prompts users to get permission from the other people on the call each time it starts, according to Amazon.
Bee and Amazon: Amazon acquired Bee in July 2025 for an undisclosed price. At the time, the San Francisco startup, led by co-founders Maria de Lourdes Zollo and Ethan Sutin, had raised $7 million and sold a $49.99 wristband called Bee Pioneer.
Thursday’s update connects Bee to two of Amazon’s biggest consumer businesses: its online store, through the product recommendations; and Alexa+, the new version of its longtime voice assistant, by letting users ask Alexa+ on an Echo device about things Bee has captured.
Amazon isn’t the only tech giant betting on AI devices.
- Apple last month announced Siri Recap, an opt-in feature that summarizes conversations on its new Apple Watches, set to arrive in beta later this year.
- Meta bought Limitless, maker of a conversation-recording pendant, in December 2025, and last month unveiled the Muse Charm, a keychain-sized device for its Muse AI agent that’s set to ship this December.
- OpenAI is developing its own hardware with former Apple designer Jony Ive.
Bee also competes with startups such as Plaud, Omi and Friend, which make AI recorders and pendants that listen to conversations, and with AI notetaking apps such as Granola and Otter that work on a phone, with no extra device required.
On another front, Amazon is fighting to keep other companies’ AI agents out of its store. Last month it blocked Meta’s Muse assistant from shopping on Amazon.com, after earlier moves against shopping agents from Perplexity, Google and OpenAI.
