Zuck Put the Surveillance Machine in a Tamagotchi

Muse can handle your email, travel and shopping. It also has a cute little face, so the privacy policy is probably adorable.

Meta unveiled Muse Charm, a pocket-watch-sized wearable built around its Muse AI agent. Meta says Muse can send email, book travel, build shopping lists and work across the apps people already use.

The Guardian reports the tiny avatar is intentionally baby-faced. That is useful design language for a company asking for access to your inbox, itinerary and grocery cart: make the data vacuum blink at you.

Reuters says the device also gives Meta another route around Apple and Google. The charm is cute. The platform war underneath it is not.
