My Bee, Myself, and I: Living with an AI That Remembers Everything
Bee is a $50 wearable AI that listens to my day, remembers everything I forget, and reminds me what actually matters. And it's complicated AF.

Imagine if every time you said "I’ll take care of that tomorrow" or "We should really follow up on this," someone actually remembered. Not just remembered it, but turned it into a to-do list, wrapped it in context, and reminded you with kindness. That’s what it feels like to wear Bee, an AI listening assistant that captures, processes, and reflects back the shape of your day.
This little yellow device sits on my wrist and quietly builds a running model of my personal life outside of work. It listens to my volunteer meetings, my passing thoughts, my parenting moments, my marriage therapy, and more.
Then, it synthesizes all of that into something surprisingly useful. It helps me remember what I committed to. It gives me insights into how I communicate. And maybe most importantly, it helps me see patterns I wouldn’t catch on my own.
Bee has essentially become an extension of my memory. A wearable second brain. A small language model of me.
And knowing that OpenAI is launching a product like this soon, there are some massive signals and complicated tech adoption and privacy implications to work out. That’s what we’re digging into in this issue.
