Muse Charm AI wearable bets on Labubu-style cuteness and Tamagotchi-like social bonding

- A look at Muse Charm, a new AI companion wearable designed as a bag charm, borrowing from Asia's mascot playbook: collectible-cute like a Labubu, socially engaging like a Tamagotchi.
- The author argues earlier wearables failed by being utilitarian and futuristic, creating friction and tech anxiety; Muse Charm instead targets Gen Z seeking tactile experiences beyond the smartphone, millennials' retro nostalgia, and older generations familiar with bag charms and pocket pets.
- It combines companion and utility features; the sharer quips that "your Muse gets a body this holiday season."
