Meta Unveils Muse Charm and Gemini Can Call for You

Meta, Google, ElevenLabs, and DeepSeek are all racing to embed autonomous voice/agent AI into everyday consumer and enterprise phone interactions.

• Meta's Muse Charm: A handheld, key-chain-sized 5G device with a 2-inch OLED touchscreen, fingerprint scanner, front/back cameras, and its own OS, unveiled at Meta's Big Connect conference; pricing undisclosed.
• Free Muse compute is generous: Every Muse account reportedly gets two vCPUs (slice of a 126-core AMD EPYC), 8GB RAM, 100GB persistent disk, and Ubuntu 24, free for now, with Meta possibly taking a cut of transactions instead (Shopify, PayPal, Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Instacart integrations; Amazon blocked it).
