Meta has unveiled the "Muse Charm," a Tamagotchi-like keychain device housing the company's Muse AI assistant, which Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated at the Connect event. Rather than a digital pet, users interact with an AI via a fingerprint sensor and animated avatar. This represents Meta's effort to make AI interaction more portable and constantly accessible, shrinking their AI technology into wearable form.

The device features a small screen displaying an interchangeable animated avatar and incorporates Muse's real-time voice and avatar capabilities. Though Meta has only built a few prototype units and still needs to finalise the components and design, the company aims to have the Muse Charm ready for shipment during the December holiday season. Further details about pricing, specifications, and full capabilities are expected to be announced in due course.
