Meta is making a standalone Muse AI gadget
Meta has unveiled a prototype hardware device called the Muse Charm, designed to act as a standalone interface for its new Muse AI agent. The device features a screen and camera, aiming to provide AI access without the need for a smartphone.
Why it matters
This marks Meta's latest attempt to capture the emerging market for dedicated AI hardware, competing with devices like the Rabbit R1.
Meta is building a dedicated hardware device for its new Muse AI agent. The product, called Muse Charm, was briefly shown off by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the end of his Meta Connect presentation. It looks almost like a chunky smart watch without the strap — just a big screen, plus a little lanyard for carrying the device around.
The Muse Charm has a fingerprint sensor on the top right corner, which you can press to activate and begin speaking to the agent. There appears to be a small camera on the device as well, plus what looks like at least three holes for microphones on the front. Zuckerberg said you don’t have to unlock a phone or open an app to use the Charm, but he didn’t share how it’s actually connecting to Meta’s servers.
