At Meta Connect, Zuckerberg pulled an "One more thing"-style reveal for Muse Charm, a keychain-sized AI device with an always-on Muse agent built in, built around the idea of talking to Muse anytime. The device is always-on standby, features a fingerprint sensor, and per Wall Street-related accounts also supports 5G. It's slated to ship in December, just ahead of the holiday shopping season. Zuckerberg called it "a little device that makes you happy."
