Meta has revealed a palm-sized AI wearable called Muse Charm, designed to give users another way to stay connected to its Muse personal AI agent. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the device during a "one more thing" moment at the company's annual Connect event.
The Muse agent, embodied by a digital avatar known within the company as Jolly, lives inside the device, which users can carry in a pocket or attach to a keychain. A tiny screen displays the avatar representing the agent, and users can talk to the device.
Zuckerberg said the device is not ready to ship yet. He 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."
"We packed the whole Muse experience, including the whole real-time voice and avatar stack, into something that fits on a keychain and is always available to talk to," Zuckerberg said during Wednesday's keynote. "You just go ahead and tap here in the fingerprint sensor in the corner, and you can start talking without having to unlock a phone or open an app."
He added: "So if you're not wearing glasses, this is going to be by far the fastest way to talk to your Muse and to show what's going on around you."
