Overview
- Meta announced Muse Charm at its Meta Connect event on Thursday and said the small always‑online handheld will be available before the December holiday season while withholding a price.
- Meta also unveiled new Muse app features including customizable real‑time avatars for video calls, dedicated Muse agent email addresses for task handling, and vision inputs so the assistant can use camera data.
- Bloomberg reporting detailed Muse Charm hardware as roughly a 2‑inch OLED display running a new OS, a built‑in 5G modem, front and rear cameras for Muse vision, and a fingerprint sensor, and said the device cannot make phone or video calls.
- MSL product head Nat Friedman publicly said Muse was “inspired by OpenClaw at the product level” but was built from scratch after community users posted near‑identical configuration files such as a SOUL.md file.
- Reporting ties Muse Charm’s design to Meta’s new design lab led by former Apple designer Alan Dye, says Mark Zuckerberg accelerated the device’s launch into 2026, and notes Muse’s mobile app has reached No. 1 on the U.S. App Store as early traction grows.
