Meta made a Tamagotchi-like wearable for its Muse AI agent
The tiny hardware device creates another mobile home for its AI agent Muse.
Meta has unveiled a wearable device called Muse Charm, reminiscent of Tamagotchi, to accompany its popular AI agent, Muse. The device, which is still in development, aims to provide users with a new way to stay connected to Muse. During Meta's annual Connect event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the Muse Charm, stating it would be ready for holiday shipping in December.
The device features a tiny screen displaying a cute digital avatar, or "Jolly," that users can interact with through voice commands. By tapping the fingerprint sensor, users can access the Muse agent without unlocking their phone or opening an app. Zuckerberg emphasized the device's speed and convenience, noting it offers the fastest way to talk to the AI agent.
Comparing the Muse Charm to a Tamagotchi, the device provides a lightweight, personality-filled experience to keep users constantly connected to Meta's software. Additionally, it serves as a low-risk way for Meta to experiment with AI wearables and distribute its AI agent to a broader audience.
