亚马逊旗下个人AI可穿戴设备制造商Bee宣布，自去年被零售巨头收购以来，推出其首批新产品。该科技公司周四推出了Bee Frontier，这是其可佩戴于手腕或别在衣服上的设备的下一代产品，同时还推出了信用卡大小、可磁吸附在智能手机背面的Bee Eclipse。
Amazon’s personal AI wearable maker, Bee, is announcing its first new products since being acquired by the retail giant last year. The tech company on Thursday introduced the Bee Frontier, the next generation of its device that can be worn on the wrist or pinned to clothes, along with Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized device that magnetically attaches to the back of your smartphone.
后者使Bee与Plaid Note或Pocket等AI设备展开更直接的竞争，但价格更低——Bee Frontier售价74.99美元，而Plaid Note售价159美元（或Note Pro售价189美元），Pocket AI设备售价129美元。
The latter puts Bee into more direct competition with AI devices like the Plaud Note or Pocket, but at a lower price point — the Bee Frontier is $74.99, compared with $159 for the Plaud Note (or $189 for the Note Pro), or $129 for the Pocket AI device.
Bee Frontier将提供黑曜石、薰衣草和鼠尾草三种配色，而售价99.99美元的Bee Eclipse将提供银色、午夜蓝、蜂蜜金和腮红四种配色。
The Bee Frontier will come in Onyx, Lavender, and Sage, while the $99.99 Bee Eclipse will be offered in Silver, Midnight, Honey, and Blush.
与原始Bee一样，新设备的理念是利用AI从日常对话中记录要点，帮助用户记住重要内容，并将其转化为可执行的待办事项、摘要和洞察。
Like the original Bee, the idea with the new devices is to leverage AI to take notes from your everyday conversations, allowing you to remember the important things that were said, and then turn those into actionable to-dos, summaries, and insights.
例如，如果你与朋友讨论了制定计划，Bee会记住你们约定的日期和时间，然后创建日历邀请。你也可以用Bee在课堂上记录讲义，或记录与医生讨论的护理计划，等等。
For instance, if you discussed making plans with friends, the Bee would remember the date and time you agreed on, then create a calendar invite. You could also use the Bee to take lecture notes in class, or to jot down the care plan you discussed with a doctor, among other things.
所有Bee设备均可免费生成对话摘要和回顾，并提供14天的记忆存储。通过每月11.99美元的Bee Pro订阅，用户可获得无限次对话摘要，并可与Amazon.com、Alexa+及第三方应用集成。Pro用户还可获得待办事项建议、每日记忆、个人聊天助手和对话模板。
All Bee devices can create conversation summaries and recaps for free, and offer 14 days of memory. With an $11.99 per month Bee Pro subscription, users receive unlimited conversation summaries and integrations with Amazon.com, Alexa+, and third-party applications. Pro users also get suggested to-dos, daily memories, a personal chat assistant, and conversation templates.
为了实现所有这些功能，Bee 设备采用了私密计算安全架构，该架构不会存储您对话的原始音频。相反，音频会实时处理后被删除。对话的转录文本将使用您的设备自行创建和控制的密钥进行加密，这意味着除非您手动且有意地共享这些文件，否则其他人（包括亚马逊员工）无法访问这些文件。
To make all this possible, Bee devices use a private computing security architecture, which doesn’t store the raw audio from your conversations. Instead, audio is processed in real time and then deleted. Transcripts of the conversation are encrypted using keys that your device creates and controls, which means no one else, including Amazon employees, can access those files unless you manually and intentionally share them.
此外，您可以选择将 Bee 与 Alexa 连接，使您的 Echo 设备能够使用其识别您声音的功能——称为 Voice ID——来判断您何时在说话。然后它可以记录您的对话以提供 Bee 的洞察。（Bee 的这一功能是可选的，亚马逊指出您可以随时删除转录文本和摘要。）通过其与 Amazon.com 和 Alexa 的新连接，Bee 用户可以免手操作地从亚马逊购物，或向 Alexa 询问 Bee 的洞察、摘要或待办事项。
In addition, you can opt to connect the Bee to Alexa, allowing your Echo device to use its ability to identify your voice, a feature called Voice ID, to recognize when you’re speaking. It can then record your conversations to provide Bee’s insights. (This aspect of Bee is optional, and Amazon notes you can delete transcripts and summaries at any time.) With its new connections to Amazon.com and Alexa, Bee users can make purchases from Amazon or ask Alexa for their Bee insights, summaries, or to-dos hands-free.
Bee 还能与您现有的生产力软件协同工作，如 Gmail、Google Calendar 和 Microsoft Outlook，从而可以起草邮件、安排会议、提取待办事项等。
Bee also works with your existing productivity software, like Gmail, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook, so it can draft emails, set up meetings, surface action items, and more.
此外，您还可以将照片上传至 Bee，或将其与 Apple 的 HealthKit 连接，以将您整体健康状况的图片整合到所提供的洞察中。
Plus, you can upload photos to Bee or connect it with Apple’s HealthKit to add a picture of your overall wellness to be integrated into your provided insights.
Bee Frontier 和 Bee Eclipse 均仅配备一个按钮，用于开启和关闭设备，并在设备正在总结对话时显示指示灯。Frontier 还提供 IP67 防水性能，续航时间长达七天，支持 USB-C 充电，并配备具有先进降噪功能的双麦克风。
The Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse both have just one button that turns the device off and on, and include an indicator light when it’s summarizing a conversation. The Frontier also offers IP67 water resistance, up to seven days of battery life, USB-C charging, and dual microphones with advanced noise filtering.
所有 Bee 设备均附带一款伴随移动应用，该应用也已全新重新设计，并附带一款新的桌面应用。
All Bee devices come with a companion mobile app, which has also been newly redesigned, plus a new desktop app.
Bee Frontier 目前已在亚马逊上架销售，而 Bee Eclipse 将在不久之后陆续上市。
The Bee Frontier is available now on Amazon, and the Eclipse will be available soon thereafter.
