Meta's Charm gadget carries CEO Zuckerberg's big AI ambitions

At Meta Connect on September 23, 2026, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the Muse Charm, a pocket-watch-sized device with a roughly 2-inch screen and built-in 5G modem that lets users tap into Meta's Muse AI agent without a smartphone, part of a shift in focus toward "personal superintelligence." Zuckerberg said Muse would also soon be available across Meta's smart glasses lineup, following millions of downloads for the app. Analysts said the device could appeal to Gen Z but were cautious about mass adoption, citing the limited success of similar devices such as the Rabbit R1.
