Meta unveils Muse Charm smart key fob for interacting with AI agent

The new device was demonstrated by the head of the corporation, Mark Zuckerberg. The gadget features a two-inch touchscreen that displays an interactive virtual character, as well as a fingerprint scanner for quick sign-in. According to Zuckerberg, the device will allow users to interact with the AI assistant without having to unlock a phone or launch dedicated apps.

The body is comparable in size to a wireless earbud charging case. The device is equipped with Wi-Fi modules and a 5G modem for standalone data transmission, cameras for analyzing surroundings, speakers, and a USB-C port; however, it cannot make standard phone calls. The company suggests carrying the device in a pocket, on a wrist, or as a key fob.

At present, the gadget is a prototype in which the arrangement of internal components is being finalized. Meta intends to launch the new product on the market by the December holidays at the end of 2026. The company has not yet disclosed the cost of the device or connectivity rates.
