Insight: Amazon acquires Bee: a $50 AI-assisted wearable that passively listens to your life

  1. Acquisition of Bee confirmed

    Amazon is acquiring Bee, a San Francisco–based AI wearable startup, integrating their Fitbit‑style wristband tech into its product lineup.

  2. Always‑on audio intelligence

    The $49.99 Bee wristband listens continuously, transcribing conversations- including background media- to generate daily summaries, reminders, to‑do lists, and suggestions via the Bee app.

  3. Privacy-preserving approach

    Bee’s policy avoids storing raw audio. Amazon says it will maintain these privacy protections with added user controls like audio muting.

  4. Renewed wearable push from Amazon

    This marks Amazon’s comeback in wearables since discontinuing Halo in 2023. Bee’s tech likely joins Amazon Devices under Panos Panay’s leadership.

  5. Team and terms

    Financial terms are undisclosed; all Bee employees have been offered positions at Amazon. The acquisition hasn’t closed yet.

✍️ Writing Ad Copy with AI: A Quick How-To Guide

Whether you're selling shoes or software, crafting compelling ad copy is non-negotiable. But what if AI could do the heavy lifting? Here’s how to write ad copy with AI that actually converts.

⚙️ Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Start With a Clear Prompt

AI needs direction. Instead of typing “write ad copy,” try:

“Write a 30-word Facebook ad for eco-friendly running shoes targeting 18-25-year-olds.”

2. Include Key Elements

Give AI these in your prompt:

  • Product name & USP (e.g., “plant-based foam soles”)

  • Target audience

  • Platform or tone (e.g., “Instagram Reel caption, fun and casual”)

3. Use the AIDA Formula

Guide the AI to follow a classic structure:

  • Attention – Hook them in

  • Interest – Tease the benefit

  • Desire – Show value or uniqueness

  • Action – End with a clear CTA

Example prompt:

“Use AIDA format to write a Google ad for a budgeting app for students.”

4. Generate Variants and Test

Ask for 3–5 variations of the same copy. Use them to A/B test and see which one performs best.

5. Refine with Human Oversight

Even the best AI drafts need polishing. Check for clarity, brand voice, and compliance with ad policies (especially on Facebook/Google).

💡 Bonus Prompt to Try:

“Write 3 punchy headlines and 2 short descriptions for a skincare product with natural ingredients, targeting Gen Z.”

🛠️ Tools you can use:

  • ChatGPT or Claude for writing

  • Copy.ai or Jasper for templates

  • Grammarly for polish

  • AdEspresso or Meta Ads Manager for testing copy performance
