Meta reveals Tamagotchi-like AI device

Meta has unveiled a Tamagotchi-like device at its Connect event that contains the company's Muse AI instead of a digital pet.

How the Muse Charm works

Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated the device by tapping a fingerprint sensor at the corner to start interacting with the AI. A small animated avatar represents Muse on the screen.

Packed into a keychain

Zuckerberg says Meta packed the whole Muse experience, including real-time voice and avatar stack, into something that fits on a keychain and is always available to talk to.

Still in development

Meta has only built a few units of the Muse Charm so far and still has to finalize its components and design before it can ship.

Holiday launch planned

Meta is aiming to get the Muse Charm ready to ship in time for the holidays this December. Zuckerberg said the company will share more details soon.
