Everything is seamless, without many bugs. The device/app is only as good as much as you use it, and interact with others, or simply converse with it. This will build a user profile that, should, in theory know you better than yourself.My only knock on it, is I wish it had a more therapeutic response to its questions. There has to be a built in “coach” mode, where the AI will analyze your conversation, along with the memories, and tell you, you did well here, here's an area I'd work on/”here's a tip for an interview, if you feel like you struggled”. Bee is also only as good as the AI model behind it, and I don't know which one it is, but it needs to be upgraded. It is probably GPT 3.5, and often hallucinates. Potential is through the roof, so I'll give it a 5, but it’s really a 4, and just barely a 4. The pioneer disconnects ALL THE TIME if Bee isn't in the background/foreground apps, which is infuriating, as I frequently kill my apps, and kill Bee out of habit.

Networking is a big part of my job role. I have been meeting with multiple people in many places (events, conferences, restaurants) with lots of background noise. Sometimes I am unable to catch everything the other person says. I tell people I’m wearing an AI device that helps transcribes what we are discussing and no one has objected. Bee’s little microphone is the real amazing part of this app. Each night it summarizes each of my meetings and captures details I couldn’t hear. Often I wear it on one of the lower pockets of a sport coat or a pocket on my pants, so it’s not right in front of me or the other person. Its ability to accurately pick up conversations has been very impressive. And I can get three long days of work before I need to recharge using the convenient USB-C socket. It’s important to note that Bee doesn’t deliver an audio recording, only a transcription. I feel I have covered my ethics by telling people it’s a transcription device not a recorder. My biggest complaint about Bee is I need to copy everything from my phone to my Mac to put it into my CRM or other files. I would love to see a way to access the summaries directly, but that may require transferring info through a cloud service which could compromise security.

So I started getting a bunch of adds about a personal assistant and decided to do a little homework. Compared to the competitors, Bee gives you the MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. None of them are perfect and while others may learn differently, what I like about the Bee is that it’s coachable. If it gets things wrong, you can simply tell it and it corrects itself. It’s so helpful for a scatter-braking like myself. I can wear to a conference or meeting and it tells me all the names of people I met and reminds me to follow up with those that I promised I would. What I also like is that it can take my experiences and personally relate them to me based on what it’s learned about me along the way. This thing rocks and I never leave home without it. Thank YOU!!

Have had this little device for almost a week now and I am really impressed with the daily summaries and the information it has captured- although sometimes it has some very interesting off the wall “memories” that it is captured, that haven’t been spoken in my vicinity at all. That said, the “phantom” conversation conversations happen very in frequently & the general summaries are pretty accurate and entertaining to read. I do wish there was a way to train it to recognize other speakers voices as it doesn’t even always recognize mine. I also wish that there was a compatible desktop application so that I could look through information more easily than just on my phone screen. Outside of those last two bullet points I would highly recommend this device as an entry level option! (and you can’t beat the cost!)
