Meta, the social media giant, has unveiled Muse Charm, a keychain-sized device that allows users to interact with its AI assistant, Muse, on the go. Muse is an AI agent that can perform tasks such as sending emails, booking travel, shopping, filling out forms, managing schedules, and completing tasks. It runs on Meta's Muse Spark model family and can connect to various apps for email, calendar, payments, health, shopping, and smart home services.
Muse Charm is designed to be carried around, providing quick access to Muse when users are not using smart glasses. It is a small square device, similar in size to an AirPods case, with a front-facing touchscreen, a wrist strap, and a 5G connection. The device has a microphone on top for voice prompts and no camera.
Muse is currently available through a dedicated app on iOS and Android, on the web at muse.ai, and within WhatsApp. It is free for most everyday use, but users have a weekly usage cap of up to 100 million tokens. Beyond that, there are two paid plans: Power at $20 a month (around Dh73) and Maximum at $100 a month (around Dh367). A payment card is required even for the free tier.
Zuckerberg mentioned that Muse Charm is a faster way to interact with Muse when smart glasses are not being used. However, there are still several details unclear about the device, including its price, battery life, final connectivity specifics, and whether it needs a paired smartphone to function. As for availability, Muse is currently only available in the United States for adults aged 18 and over, with more countries set to be added in the future.
The Charm's use is limited without Muse, so UAE residents must first wait for the software release before considering the device.
