Meta shows off standalone Muse Charm AI hardware at Connect event

Meta is developing a dedicated piece of hardware for its Muse AI agent, called Muse Charm, which was briefly shown by chief executive Mark Zuckerberg at the close of the company's Meta Connect presentation.

According to descriptions of the device, Muse Charm resembles a chunky smart watch without a wrist strap, consisting largely of a sizable screen paired with a small lanyard, suggesting it is meant to be worn or carried rather than strapped to the wrist.

Another form factor for Muse

The brief reveal at Meta Connect adds Muse Charm to the list of hardware Meta has introduced or teased this year built around its AI agent, following the company's broader push to give its AI products dedicated physical devices beyond smartphones and existing smart glasses.

Meta did not provide extensive details on Muse Charm's release timeline, pricing or full functionality during its brief appearance at the presentation.

The device underscores Meta's continued experimentation with form factors for wearable AI, as the company tests different physical products intended to keep its AI agent accessible throughout the day.
