Amazon to acquire AI wristband developer Bee
Amazon is set to acquire Bee, a San Francisco-based startup specialising in AI-powered wristbands. Bee's wearable device, known as the Bee Pioneer, leverages AI to transcribe conversations and generate summaries, to-do lists, and other tasks. Confirmation of the deal was made following a LinkedIn post by Bee CEO and co-founder Maria de Lourdes Zollo. While Amazon acknowledged the acquisition, the details of the transaction remain undisclosed. The acquisition has not yet been finalised. An Amazon spokesperson informed Reuters that the company intends to work with Bee to improve user control over the wristbands, which automatically transcribe audio but also offer muting capabilities. Founded in 2022, Bee engineered its device to capture conversations and apply AI for personalised daily summaries, reminders, and suggestions available via its app. Users may authorise access to emails, contacts, location data, reminders, photos, and calendar events, creating a detailed history that informs AI-driven insights. In a LinkedIn post, Zollo wrote: 'When we started Bee, we imagined a world where AI is truly personal, where your life is understood and enhanced by technology that learns with you. 'What began as a dream with an incredible team and community now finds a new home at Amazon.' The Bee Pioneer utilises dual microphones and advanced noise-filtering technology for clear transcription in various environments. The device claims to have a battery life exceeding 160 hours on a single charge and supports up to 40 languages. With a modular design, it can be detached from its wristband and attached securely to clothing using an included clip. However, while it is water-resistant, it is not suitable for swimming or showering. This acquisition marks Amazon's continued interest in wearables. Previously, the company offered a range of wrist health trackers under the Halo brand before discontinuing them in 2023. Amazon also sells smart glasses with integrated Alexa functionality under the Echo brand.

5 LinkedIn Hacks To Dominate Your Niche Without Paid Ads
5 LinkedIn hacks to dominate your niche without paid ads You don't need money to grow on LinkedIn. You need sharp opinions and strong proof. Most people stay invisible because they say the same things as everyone else. Playing it safe keeps you broke. The pain of playing small is watching louder, less qualified people get the clients you wanted. If you're tired of watching opportunities pass you by while others claim your market share and dream clients, this changes now. These five LinkedIn hacks transform your presence from invisible to irresistible. No ad spend required. Just strategy, consistency, and the courage to stand out. Master the art of LinkedIn disruption: become famous in your niche Your niche has accepted truths that nobody questions. Challenge them. Not to be difficult, but to start conversations that make you memorable. When you post something that means people pause and think "wait, is that true?" you've won half the battle. Start with industry assumptions everyone accepts. Maybe your field believes cold outreach is dead. Share why it's more alive than ever, with proof. Perhaps everyone thinks you need certifications to succeed. Show them your results that prove otherwise. The goal isn't controversy for attention. It's offering fresh perspectives backed by real experience. Your contrarian view consistently delivers insights others miss. Comments build your brand faster than posts, and they're easier to write. But the opportunity in comments is even bigger because fewer people do them well. AI-generated platitudes arrive in droves, so when someone adds something real, people notice. Contribute effectively by adding layers to the conversation. When someone shares a strategy, share the edge case where it failed for you and what you learned. When they celebrate a win, ask the question that digs deeper into the process. Your comments should make the original poster think "I hadn't considered that." Original thinking in comments positions you as someone worth following. And best of all, it's free. Screenshots tell stories. Once every week, share visual proof of your work. Client transformations. Revenue graphs. Behind-the-scenes processes. Keep a folder on your computer called 'wins' and add every casual testimonial until you have a bunch. Your proof doesn't need to be million-dollar wins. Share the email where a client thanked you. The before-and-after of a project you transformed. The metric that moved because of your expert insight. Weekly proof posts accomplish two things: they show you're actively working (not just talking), and they demonstrate exactly how you create value. No one can argue with results they can see. Now you have the visibility, take action. Dominating your niche only matters if people are willing to pay for your specialist knowledge. When someone engages with your content, assume they are interested and have raised their hand. Then don't let the moment pass. Turn every comment, every reaction, every profile view from your dream clients into a conversation. Get in the habit of sending DMs. Not "thanks for the like" messages. Chats you'd have with a friend. Ask a question that shows you noticed what they're building. Share a resource that solves their specific problem. Make an introduction to someone in your network who can help them. Build familiarity on a one-to-one basis as part of your daily routine. Your profile's featured section is your billboard. It's one of the first things visitors to your profile see. Pin your best proof post, the one that instantly shows your authority within your niche. Update it monthly as you generate better results. Don't let someone scroll down your profile without knowing the extent of your effectiveness. Maybe it's the case study where you 10x'd someone's leads. Perhaps it's the framework that changed how your industry operates. Whatever you pin should make visitors think "I need to work with this person." No one cares how long you've been in business. They care what you believe, who you help, and how fast you get results. Dominate on LinkedIn by showing up differently: get serious about your personal brand Say it clearly, say it often, and dominate your niche by showing up daily on LinkedIn and optimizing everything around your main message. Post contrarian takes, comment with original messages, and share weekly proof. DM your engaged followers and make your results impossible to miss. You're probably wasting time on LinkedIn right now. You could be spending that same amount of time getting actual results. Follow these steps to do it. Optimize your LinkedIn profile to attract ideal coaching and consultancy clients.

EnerPure sees a tremendous opportunity to solve this problem through the deployment of its modular micro-scale recycling plants using its patented technology to convert UMO into high-quality marine fuel. EnerPure is entering its next phase of growth, with our first commercial plant planned for Alberta.
