The Bee Pioneer hopes to succeed where the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin haven't. The new wrist-worn artificial intelligence-powered device comes in a more discreet basic fitness band look. And it is more affordable at US$49.99 (around CA$72). 

Bee's team created the accessory as an "always listening" device. It keeps tabs on your conversations to know which information it could use to create to-do lists, build a knowledge base on your life, and give you summaries of your day. The Bee Pioneer is even designed to do basic tasks on your phone, like sending messages for you, using an emulated version of your phone on the cloud.
