Meta introduces Tamagotchi-style wearable device for its Muse AI agent
The small gadget gives Meta's Muse AI agent another physical form for users to carry.
Meta has introduced a small, Tamagotchi-like wearable device designed to serve as another home for its Muse AI agent, extending the company's effort to give its AI products a tangible physical presence.
The compact hardware device is built specifically around Muse, Meta's AI agent, and follows the pattern of earlier digital pet toys in its small, portable form factor. Rather than existing only within an app or a pair of smart glasses, Muse can now also be carried through this dedicated gadget.
Another entry in Meta's wearable lineup
The device adds to a growing list of hardware options Meta has introduced this year built around its AI agents, reflecting a broader industry trend of companies searching for the right physical form for always-available AI assistants.
By offering multiple hardware options, including glasses and now this standalone gadget, Meta is testing which formats resonate most with consumers who want continuous access to an AI agent throughout their day.
Further specifications on pricing, availability or the device's full feature set were not detailed beyond its unveiling as a mobile home for Muse.
