## Common questions

### What is Bee?

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).

### Who makes Bee?

Bee is made by Bee, based in San Francisco, California, USA, founded in 2022.

### Where is Bee deployed?

No verified deployments of Bee are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is Bee's maturity stage?

Bee is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
