The Humane AI pin made a big splash around CES 2024, but the resulting disappointment meant that people have taken a frostier approach to dedicated AI wearables at this year’s show. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t escape AI at CES 2025, but usually, it comes as an upgrade to a device’s feature set rather than AI being the only feature. However, there was one AI wearable at the show, and I got to see it in action – though I can’t yet decide if I love it or hate it.
I’m talking about Bee, a small pendant you can wear as a bracelet in a clip, which syncs with an app on your phone to create detailed summaries of your day’s conversations. You can then use these notes to remember the conclusion of work meetings or recollect the story friends told you over dinner. Bee can be used to automate to-do lists and offer valuable reflections on the day’s events.
