At Meta Connect on Sept. 23, Mark Zuckerberg debuted Muse Charm, a pocket- or keychain-sized device meant to talk to Meta’s Muse AI agent without unlocking a phone app, according to Reuters (opens in new tab), The Verge (opens in new tab), and TechCrunch (opens in new tab).

Reuters (opens in new tab) reported a roughly 2-inch screen, fingerprint-tap activation, and a built-in 5G modem; the gadget cannot make calls. Meta said it has built only a few units so far and aims to ship in time for December holidays after finalizing materials, the cited outlets reported.

Muse’s recent app launch has drawn heavy download and market attention; analysts compared Charm to prior AI handhelds that struggled with mass adoption, Reuters (opens in new tab) and TechCrunch (opens in new tab) noted. Pricing was not finalized in Thursday packages.
