Pocket-watch-sized Meta device built around the Muse agent, with a small touch screen and its own cellular modem.
Meta's new pocket device opens its Muse agent with one tap and reaches the network over a 5G modem of its own. The modem is what lets an assistant stop inheriting Apple's and Google's app rules.

Meta's latest Muse update brings the AI agent to the iPad and names 11 connectors, including QuickBooks, GitHub and Meta ad accounts. For small teams, the open question is which work accounts a free consumer agent should be allowed to act on.

Meta released open source firmware and a Linux SDK for its Muse agent and is giving subscribers 5,000 Home Link dongles. For now the release suits people who tinker; companies hoping to sell Muse hardware have no published terms to build on.

Dutch privacy authority AP warned that sharing camera-glasses footage breaks GDPR unless every person in the frame consented. For teams building camera products, that puts a per-person consent check on the code path that shares footage.

Meta shares rose 27% in September to $725.18, their best month since November 2022, after its Muse agent app topped ChatGPT in iOS downloads. That chart position is the only adoption figure in the coverage, so the price now depends on Muse usage numbers Meta has yet to publish.

Meta put its Muse assistant on every pair of glasses and headset it showed at Connect, led by $1,300 VR Glasses due this spring. For a team buyer the lineup is separate devices for separate jobs. The evidence on how people use Meta's hardware is still thin.

Meta limits its Muse AI agent to users 18 and over while selling it through Jolly, a dress-up mascot, and a planned Tamagotchi-style device. Fairplay says the character appeals to preschoolers, and Meta answers with extra age checks it has not described.

Meta's Connect 2026 keynote listed five wearables items, and only the Muse pendant surprised The Ghost Howls, which attended. Buyers of the third-generation Ray-Ban Metas left the hall without a price or a date.

Meta launched its Muse agent with national ads as Shopify opened checkout to it and Amazon said it would block it. Expedia's shares fell even after it integrated with Muse, as investors priced the risk that agents cut booking sites out of the sale.

Meta says the Muse Charm, with a 2-inch screen, two cameras and 5G, ships in December, after the Muse app reached #1 on Apple's free chart. Meta is betting people will carry a second device for an agent whose demand so far shows up only as app installs.

Oppenheimer found only 8% of US consumers would trust Meta with their passwords, the access its Muse Charm keychain needs to shop for them. Meta is shipping it by December anyway, so its retail deals depend on a permission most US buyers say they would withhold.

Meta shares are up more than 25% since Muse launched, on an agent whose early users were more than 95% existing Facebook users. The pendant meant to carry that audience off the iPhone has no price yet and has had two trading sessions to show up in the stock.
