Meta unveils a standalone handheld AI gadget called “Charm” built to work with its new Muse AI assistant during its Meta Connect event. Mark Zuckerberg briefly shows the device as part of the company’s push to bring its AI features to dedicated hardware rather than relying only on phones and apps.
Multiple outlets describe the device as a compact, screen-based handheld. The Verge reports Meta is making a dedicated hardware product for the Muse agent and notes an initial glimpse of the device near the end of the event. Business Insider frames the move as Meta moving ahead of OpenAI in the broader race to announce AI hardware. Korea Times adds that Meta says Charm would be ready to ship around the December holidays, though it does not provide pricing. In the same event, Meta also announces other wearable and VR-related products, including VR glasses and camera-free smart glasses.
Across coverage, the key differences are timing and details: outlet reports vary on early product description, but they align that Charm is linked to the Muse AI assistant and is announced at Meta Connect by Zuckerberg.
