Muse Charm device for the AI agent revealed at Meta Connect 2026
Trap your AI in a soul gem.
by Sam Chandler · ShacknewsAs the push for artificial intelligence continues, and as more users operate their own AI agents, companies are looking for new ways to give users non-stop access to their tools. As such, Meta today revealed its Charm device for the AI agent known as Muse.
This year’s Meta Connect saw Meta unveil Muse Charm, a small digital device for Muse, your personal AI agent. Mark Zuckerberg took to the stage to show off the pocket-sized device as a “one more thing,” to close out the show.
Zuckerberg states that the company “packed the whole Muse experience, including the whole real-time voice and avatar stack into something that fits on a keychain.” The device can be spoken to after tapping the fingerprint sensor on the corner. He does state, however, that there are some details which need to be finalized, but that Meta aims to have it ready to ship in time for the holidays.
This isn’t the first time a company has attempted to bring a small AI device to market. Humane AI Pin was one such venture which ceased its services in February 2025. The industry will have eyes on Meta to see if it has what it takes to succeed in the wearable AI space.
Meta Connect 2026 also saw the company unveil the Meta VR Glasses. These glasses offer a sleek form factor weighing less than 100 grams. This is possible thanks to offloading the computing power into a pocket-sized puck.
