What Muse Charm is

Muse Charm is a keychain-sized hardware device for talking to Muse, Meta's AI agent, without needing to pull out your phone. Meta announced it at Connect 2026 on September 23, alongside updates to the Muse agent itself.

What it can do

Based on Meta's announcement and early coverage:

  • A small touchscreen (around 2 inches)
  • Dual front and rear cameras
  • A fingerprint sensor
  • Its own 5G connection — no phone pairing needed
  • Voice access to Muse, described as the fastest way to reach it besides smart glasses

When it ships, and what we don't know

Charm ships December 2026. Reports say it was originally planned for 2027, and Mark Zuckerberg pushed the timeline up to launch by the end of this year.

Price: not announced. As of late September 2026, Meta's own page for Charm is a single sentence and an email signup — no spec sheet, no preorder, no price. We'll update this page the moment that changes.

Does Muse Charm need the Muse agent to be available in your country?

Almost certainly, yes — Charm is a way to access Muse, not a separate product. If the Muse agent isn't available where you live yet, a Charm device likely won't unlock it. See where Muse works today →
