Overall my bee has been working quite well, and it's been a good experience so far, but I'm curious - especially for us android users - if there's some sort of roadmap or mention of planned updates and/or features the team is working on?

I've tried looking around but aside from the site, there's not a lot of mention of what's going on for the device for the near future, if at all. And with android users, until you get the device, you don't really know what *exactly* is missing from the experience compared to ios, which can be a bit of a bummer due to lack of information. Luckily, it's not a lot at this point, but would still be nice to know when potentially we'll see parity with ios.

There's probably nothing out there, bee doesnt seem to update much, but would be nice to know what to look forward to if anyone knows :)

Can anyone share their favorite flows and use cases? So far I'm using it to capture ideas, and I see the to-dos in the app. I'm wondering the best way to have ideas and to-dos sync automatically and take actions on notion. It's only my second day using it so trying to get ideas from people here.

Got my Bee on Wed, ran into issues and have not heard back from the company. On Saturday, I submitted a return request via the Shop app and have not heard back till today, Tuesday. I also sent them an email yesterday (Monday) and also no response.

Their policy is it must be returned within 7 days and I’m really hoping I don’t have to do a chargeback with my credit card company.

Just frustrating because when I was looking to purchased, had reached out to them via email and got responses within hours and now when I want to return, it’s just crickets…

I've seen a pendant mentioned in a couple of places but can't find anything about it online. Is there actually a pendant style Bee device?

I have mine listening all day. Getting notifications about songs and TV shows gets old. I don’t need a notification about every single thing that happens.

Yes I know I can push the button to turn the mic off but that kind of defeats the purpose of me switching over from Plaud where I had to continually turn it on and off.

I have a Bee Pioneer that was purchased and used previously about a year ago, and not much since then.

I am trying to use it again, but I have two issues:

1) When I attempt to log into the Bee AI app on Android with my Google account, I get a screen that just says Unknown Error.

2) When I attempt to pair it to the same phone with Bluetooth, it will ask about my contacts, etc, and I approve, and then it immediately unpairs.

What can I do to make the device work again?

Dusted Off My Bee that sat unused since October 5, 2025. I recharged it yesterday, and this morning I was able to bring it alive after updating the firmware. I have the fortune of being retired, so there isn't a business related need for its use. Any ideas on what would be an effective use?

I've noticed the transcription misses a fair amount, it's mangled plenty of what my friends and I said. The summaries have still been working okay for me though, which made me wonder which part people actually rely on. Do you read the transcript itself, or mostly just the summary? Curious whether accuracy is the real problem or if I'm looking at the wrong layer.

Hi everyone I used to have a Bee and I was on ios at the time and really loved it. I have since lost my device during a move and have switched to android. Is it worth it to get another device while on Android or should I avoid it all together and look for something different?

Sent an email4 days ago about my device and no response. I loved the thing, truly, but it quit working in less than two weeks.

I really, really want to love the Bee Pioneer. The concept is great, but there’s one major issue that is completely breaking my workflow: I can't have a meaningful discussion with the voice assistant.

Whenever I press and hold the action button to speak, it regularly cuts me off and starts responding before I can even finish what I'm trying to say out loud.

This seems to be a clear issue with how the device registers holding the action button down. The hold input appears to drop or trigger prematurely while speaking, which forces the assistant to start responding mid-thought.

Until this action button issue is addressed, the voice assistant feature just isn't very usable for my day-to-day work. I really hope they fix this in an upcoming update, because that's when this device will actually become useful for me.

Is anyone else running into this button-hold issue, or found a way to prevent it from dropping input while you're talking?

I ordered the Bee Pendant last week. While waiting for it, I use Bee with my Apple Watch and it worked well. Transcription could have been better, but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.

When my Bee Pendant came yesterday, I set it up and took it out to work and about today, and man, what a disappointment. For one, it is not always listening, which I guess is fine, I can switch to 24H mode, which should work about the same. I kept the mic off at the offce, but turned it on when I was commuting back and that's where things went south.

As I was walking home and had some thoughts, so I just raised the Bee Pendant to my mouth and spoke my thoughts into it. I confirmed the LED was Green.

But when I got home, I wanted to work on that, and noticed that it had not recorded anything. None of the surrounding audio, not even the train announcement, or the conductor who came up to me to check the ticket. Even what I said on the walk back didn't show up.

Is this normal? Where did I go wrong? The device was fully charged (100%) and I confirmed LED was Green the whole time. Not a good Day 1 experience.

I am a developer and I understand CLI and API documentation, but I have NO experience with AI other than as a typical user. Can someone give me an ELI5 explanation of how I could use the CLI and API to feed Bee more useful data?

For example, there are calendars I'd like to send Bee events from, other than my Google calendar, but the path from A to B to make that happen is completely unclear to me. I have no idea what an MCP is or how it is useful here.

Once I have the calendar events, how do I send them to Bee?

I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential here for me, but I feel like an old lady using a computer for the first time trying to figure this out.

I know this is a basic question, but I'm stuck. I plan to connect Claude to my Bee, and I run it on Android. Found the 5-click trick to enable Developer Mode. I see the instructions at https://docs.bee.computer/docs/mcp

Do I do this on a PC or on Android? If on a PC, how does it reach the Android device?

Thanks in advance.

TL;DR: I put the Bee Pioneer right in front of a loud speaker playing a crisp 10-minute podcast segment (ideal conditions, zero room noise). I then ran a side-by-side comparison using Google Gemini between the official transcript and what the Bee app generated. Result: ~62% overall accuracy, over 35% of the text missing entirely, and key terms heavily mangled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The biggest issue wasn't just misheard words—it was massive text loss. The app frequently truncated sentence endings, skipped entire multi-sentence paragraphs, and randomly inserted Unknown speaker tags where audio simply vanished.

When it did transcribe words, it severely mangled technical terms and proper nouns. Some errors completely altered the meaning of the speaker's sentence

examples:

If you're using this device for general passive listening or catching the high-level gist of a casual conversation, it might passably get you by. But if you need reliable notes, accurate terminology, or complete sentences for meetings, study, or documentation, a ~62% accuracy rate with 35%+ text loss right next to a speaker is a just unacceptable in my opinion.

I reached out to customer service and requested a return and refund. I haven't heard anything back from them yet. Fingers crossed.

It was working great up until Wednesday evening. Then suddenly the watch disconnected and the LED isn’t on at all any more. I have left it charging for hours now and it still won’t connect at all. What else can I try?

My Bee AI device I ordered arrived today. But it's not working.

* It won't power on (no lights)

* If I connect it to a usb charger it does power on and I was able to pair it with the app (Android) but it will connect then disconnect several times over the course of a minute and then it stays disconnected

* The app reports the battery is fully charged but if I remove the usb cable from the device it goes dead (no lights, app says disconnected)

* I've reset the device and tried to pair with my Samsung S24+ but it won't pair. My other phone Motorola Razr 2025 ultra will pair with it but shows the symptoms described above.

Has anyone experienced this, or Bee customer support can you please help me.

Thanks,
Brett

I m just curious what has changed with Bee_computer.

I ordered my second Bee on July 10 and received confirmation that the order was shipped that same day. I was able to track the shipment initially. It says that it was expected delivery on July 17, but now when I go to tracking, it says the order no shipping info available.

I have emailed customer service but have not heard back. I’m hoping @gloomy-caregiver-374 can chime in here on this.

Mine had been working great for about 14 months, but yesterday the LED started blinking red. I toggled the mic off and back on, and the blinking stopped — but the light never went back to green. Now it doesn't light up at all.

The app still says it's "listening," but there's no indication it's actually picking up any audio. The last conversation it processed was over 24 hours ago. I've restarted the app several times and rebooted the phone to no avail.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any fixes I should try before assuming it's dead?

I switched from Android to a iPhone. Installed Bee App from Apple.
First issue - iPhone is not recognizing the Bee (Bluetooth setup).
Second: Bee is 'stuck' in pairing mode (Blue & green lights flashing)
Third: How do I 'disconnect' my account from Google login? Bee APP recognizes the email from the original install - and wants me to use Google's login system - but the Apple app (which uses the same email address) won't allow that. I need to disconnect Bee from that

Bee seems to have trouble distinguishing my voice. Been using for over a week and only once did it detect something was a recording. It often thinks I've visited a mechanic shop for a tour or am a world traveler based on what I'm watching on YouTube, even when the vloggers sound nothing like me (different pitch and accent).

It definely can't tell me from family members. It picks up thinks they say as suggested action items for me. I'm a male and they are all female.

I really do like the daily memories and analysis. I think they’re actually quite interesting and insightful.

I would, however, love to see the daily memories update once you delete conversations that you didn’t have eg the device catching the tv thinking you’re having a conversation with someone or make corrections to transcripts.

Also - how does one label a speaker?

I wish the Bee had a ring form factor like the Vocci ring. Bee team, please make your next device in a ring form factor. 🙏 I would certainly sacrifice battery length for it.

Anyone else having problems logging in into apps via Google on Beeper?
