Meta made a Tamagotchi-like wearable for its Muse AI agent
Meta announced a new Tamagotchi-inspired AI wearable device called Muse Charm at its annual Connect event. The palm-sized device houses the company's Muse AI agent, features a small screen displaying a digital avatar named Jolly, and is designed to ship by the holidays.
Why it matters
It marks Meta's latest push into physical AI hardware, positioning the company as a direct competitor to other tech giants developing screen-based wearable AI devices.
The AI amulet has become a bit of a cliché in the tech industry — devices like Friend have turned the idea of physical AI into little more than an exercise in eye-rolling for many consumers.
But that hasn’t stopped Meta from jumping into the arena with its own AI wearable, called Muse Charm, which is designed to give consumers another way to stay connected to its recently launched, and already popular, personal AI agent, Muse.
The device, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed in a “one more thing” moment during the company’s annual Connect event, isn’t ready to ship just yet. Zuckerberg said his team had to “finalize laying out the components” and promised the devices would be “ready to ship in time for the holidays in December.”
