Meta has unveiled Muse Charm, a palm-sized AI device that gives users direct access to its Muse personal AI agent without opening a phone app.
The company announced the device at its Meta Connect event and said the device brings Muse’s “state-of-the-art real-time voice model” into a pocket-sized form factor and will have more details later this year.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Charm has a roughly 2-inch OLED touchscreen, built-in 5G connectivity and speakers and microphones.
It can be carried in a pocket, worn on a wrist strap or attached to a bag or keychain.
The device has front and rear cameras that are primarily intended to give Muse visual information for analysis and AI-assisted actions, rather than simply serving as conventional phone cameras.
The device runs a dedicated operating system and displays a virtual Muse character that users can customise, including its appearance, clothing and voice.
It can also play music and video and includes a USB-C charging port, although it does not support phone or video calls. Users will set up and synchronise the Charm through the Muse app on an iPhone or Android phone.
The device is slated to ship in December, although Meta has not announced a price.
Bloomberg also reported that the project began as a prototype and was developed in roughly nine months by Meta’s new design team, led by former Apple design executive Alan Dye, in coordination with the Muse team.
Internally, the prototype was reportedly called ‘Clawmagochi’, combining its Tamagotchi-like design with the team’s interest in the OpenClaw AI assistant.
The announcement comes as Meta expands Muse across its hardware portfolio. The company has said Muse will become the primary AI interface for its smart glasses, where it can handle tasks and interact with users through voice.
Muse is designed as a general-purpose personal AI agent that can carry out tasks on a user’s behalf, including sending emails, shopping and booking travel.
Meta said that Muse will now support voice and real-time video, enabling users have conversations. “Muse will work in the background and get things done for you as you're talking,” said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta in a post on X.
Meta also used Connect to expand its AI glasses lineup, introducing the Ray-Ban Meta Audio, its first camera-free smart glasses, alongside the third-generation Ray-Ban Meta.
The Audio glasses start at $349 and offer up to 12 hours of battery life, while the Gen 3 models start at $449 and add a 12MP camera, 3K video recording, up to nine hours of battery life and a six-microphone array. Meta said Muse will be available across its AI glasses, allowing users to access the agent hands-free.
The company also expanded its AI glasses portfolio with new Meta Glasses styles and said it expects to offer more than 100 glasses options across Ray-Ban, Oakley and Meta Glasses by the end of 2026.
