Meta Connect 2026: Muse Charm device ships December, Muse gets live video chat and comes to smart glasses

At Meta Connect on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg made Meta's personal AI agent Muse the centerpiece of the company's 'personal superintelligence' push. The headline hardware was Muse Charm, a small keychain-sized device with a fingerprint sensor tap that lets users talk to Muse without unlocking a phone or opening an app. Meta says it packed the full Muse experience, including real-time voice and the avatar stack, into the device and plans to ship it in December, in time for the holidays. Pricing was not announced.

Muse itself gained a live video-chat mode with customizable real-time voice and a Realtime Avatar feature that animates a reference image during conversation, keeping voice, lip movement and expression synchronized. Alexandr Wang demonstrated the feature on X, a day after Meta's research team published the technical details. Separately, Meta announced it is bringing Muse to its AI glasses, where a spoken wake word will summon the agent and it can act on what the wearer is looking at.

Meta also expanded its wearables lineup with new Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses (with 100+ style options) and announced Meta VR Glasses, a $1,299 headset with the processor and battery moved into a separate puck, planned for spring 2027. Retail integrations for Muse's shopping actions now include Walmart, Sephora, Best Buy and Gap — though Amazon has reportedly restricted the agent's purchasing capabilities.
