On September 24, 2026, Meta published a roundup of its announcements from its annual Meta Connect 2026 event. This year's focus was Muse, the company's personal AI agent.
Muse Charm, a dedicated Muse device
Muse Charm is a pocket-sized device for talking to and interacting with Muse. It runs Meta's latest real-time voice model and makes Muse's capabilities easy to use on the go. Meta says you can hand everyday errands off to Muse, such as checking for sales, arranging reservations and organizing your inbox.
Pricing and a specific release date have not been announced yet, with details expected later this year.
Muse is coming to AI glasses
Meta announced that Muse will come to its AI glasses in the coming months. You will be able to summon Muse hands-free and ask it to act on what you are looking at without having to describe it.
Ray-Ban Meta Audio audio glasses
Ray-Ban Meta Audio is a pair of audio glasses that packs earphone functionality and AI into Meta's lightest and thinnest AI glasses. Its main features are as follows.
- At 43 grams, the lightest and thinnest of Meta's AI glasses
- Hands-free music and podcast playback, calls and conversations with an AI assistant
- Up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus up to 48 more hours from the included charging case
- Two styles, Clubmaster and Burbank, in 23 color and lens combinations
- Starting at $349, with preorders open now and shipping beginning October 13 in the US. A launch in Japan is planned for 2027
Other announcements
- Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3): A thinner design, longer battery life and a customizable action button
- Meta VR Glasses: VR glasses weighing about 100 grams, and the first VR device to earn IMAX Enhanced certification
- Hearing support features: Hearing enhancement features that can be added to compatible AI glasses. Available for $149.99 or through a Meta One subscription, with a US launch planned for later this year
CoAI's take
This year's Connect made Meta's push clear: extending its Muse AI agent beyond the smartphone onto dedicated devices and glasses. Ray-Ban Meta Audio is planned to launch in Japan in 2027, while pricing and a release date for Muse Charm have not yet been announced, so it is worth watching for further details.
