Meta is releasing a new AI charm device for your keys and it looks just like a Tamagotchi

Meta has just announced a new device called a Muse Charm that’s basically your own personal little AI chatbot, which you can attach to your keys. 

The device, which is reminding everyone of a Tamagotchi, is a tiny silver square around two inches in size with a touchscreen on the front. It houses Meta’s new AI agent Muse, which was announced earlier in September.

“Muse Charm is a delightful and fun device built for you to talk and interact with your Muse. It brings the power of Muse with a state of the art real-time voice model into a device that fits in your pocket. We’ll have more to share later this year,” Meta said.

At the Meta Connect event, Mark Zuckerberg added: “We pack the whole Muse experience, including the whole real-time voice and avatar stack, into something that fits on a keychain and is always available to talk to.”

The screen displays a little yeti-like Muse character that you can personalise with different outfits and accessories. You can chat to it through a microphone on the top, in the same way you would with ChatGPT.

The Muse Charm’s price hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s free to use once you’ve got it, as long as you don’t exceed its free weekly data usage. If you want more usage, there are two paid plans at $20 and $100, but most people will never need that. 

It’s going to be released in December, and everyone thinks it actually looks kinda… cool? Watch everyone rocking around with their adult Tamagotchis after Christmas.
