At Meta Connect, Zuckerberg unveiled the Muse 'charm' — a keychain-sized AI assistant with a cute Tamagotchi-esque avatar that handles live conversations, emails, travel booking and weekly grocery shopping. The Guardian ties the cuddly design to cuteness research, and notes Meta simultaneously launched camera-less smartglasses, a response to the earlier 'pervert' glasses privacy backlash — a sign makers now know cameras are the problem.
