Meta announced the Muse Charm, a Tamagotchi-style keychain device for its Muse AI agent, at Connect 2026 on September 23, accelerating an original 2027 target to a December holiday ship window. The hardware remains in early prototype form, with only a handful of units built, final materials undecided, and no pricing or full specifications disclosed yet. Muse itself launched September 8 and quickly topped app stores with millions of downloads, positioning the Charm as Meta’s standalone AI hardware play alongside its Ray-Ban glasses and upcoming VR offerings. Traders are watching supply-chain progress, any further developer updates, and whether the accelerated timeline holds against typical hardware delays in the competitive AI device space.
