Meta is making a standalone Muse AI gadget

Meta is developing a standalone hardware device for its Muse AI agent, called Muse Charm. According to The Verge, the device resembles a chunky smartwatch without a strap, featuring a big screen, a lanyard for carrying, a fingerprint sensor, a small camera, and at least three microphone holes.

Meta's Muse AI agent can handle everyday tasks such as shopping, responding to emails, and working on a computer. As reported by Mashable, the agent has expanded to Canada, with more countries coming soon. It can research topics, fill out forms, book travel, and continue working after users close the app.

Meta is also integrating its Muse AI agent into its smart glasses, as announced at its annual Connect conference. According to Business Insider, this move aims to put Muse directly in front of users throughout the day, allowing them to ask for help without reaching for their phone.
