At Connect 2026 on 23 September, Mark Zuckerberg revealed Muse Charm, a palm-sized keychain device for talking to Meta’s Muse AI agent. It has a touchscreen of about 2 inches with a customisable animated character, a fingerprint sensor that starts a conversation, a real-time voice model and built-in 5G. It ships in time for the December holidays, with no price yet. This article covers what Meta confirmed, why reviewers compare it to a Tamagotchi, how it fits the Muse agent, the unanswered questions on price, battery and camera, the history of failed AI gadgets such as the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1, and what businesses should watch.

This article covers what rabbit shipped, the engagement numbers that explain the pivot, the Humane precedent, and what the OSWorld 2.0 benchmark says about whether any agent can finish long real-world desktop work yet. The reliability data is the part worth reading twice.
