I’m impressed
I have only been using this for a week! I am utterly impressed. Love this and highly recommend it

I really wanted to like this device and app - unfortunately it’s ability to discern multiple voices and it’s issues with transcription
are limited which impacts the AI summaries. i’m hoping that they are able to improve the speech to text recognition as well as the AI summaries.

Bee Has Become My Extended Memory
I’ve been using Bee for almost four months, and it has become one of the most useful pieces of technology I own.
What makes Bee different from every AI recorder I’ve tried or looked at is that I don’t have to remember to record. I just wear it. That sounds simple, but it completely changes the experience. You never know in advance which conversation, thought, family moment, trip, or ordinary day will become something you want to remember later.
Bee gives me a kind of extended memory. I can go back to a particular day, see what I was doing, where I went, what conversations happened, read the summaries, and, when I want to verify something, open the actual conversation and read the transcript.
The improvement over time has also been remarkable. In the beginning, Bee sometimes misunderstood context or made incorrect assumptions. After several months, it has become much more accurate and much better at understanding the people, routines and context of my life. When it isn’t sure who someone is, it increasingly leaves the person unidentified rather than inventing an answer. That matters enormously in a product that is supposed to function as memory.
The battery life is extraordinary. I can wear it for days while it works throughout the day and barely think about charging it.
My only real criticism is the wristband. The push-in plastic closure can come undone too easily. I actually lost my Bee while walking my dogs and was lucky enough to retrace my steps and find it under a tree. The software deserves a better and more secure physical attachment.
But as a concept and as a product, Bee is exceptional. I don’t think of it as a recorder anymore. I think of it as an extension of my memory.
Five stars, easily.

forgetfulness is never an issue!!! Love it
Always there and on, always transcription and memories on demand. From all the Recording devices, I own this one the least annoying and always with me
Promise without delivery
I’ve been wearing my bee for a few months now and it was very promising at first. However the data becomes quickly unmanageable due to the volume. Suggested facts have added up to over 1000 and now no longer appears. The facts are constantly replicated and become another job to review. Similarly tasks add up into the hundreds and there is no good way to organize them. Insights continuously create pathological claims out of singular incidents and then continue to latch onto them over and over even after marking inaccurate. The things that I like are meeting notes (although it’s often confused by who is speaking) and the AI chat. So I find it useful as a journal more than a productivity system.
