Fifteen days after launching Muse on a phone, Meta used Connect to put its agent everywhere else: glasses, a pocket device, a Mac, an avatar and an inbox of its own. Meta’s recap post went up at 23:57 UTC on September 23, 2026, after the keynote, and its framing is the agent first and the hardware second. The glasses and VR headset posts were already on Meta’s newsroom that morning.

This page is the record, built from Meta’s own posts: what Muse got, what went on sale and at what price, where the viral posts on X ran ahead of what Meta wrote, and where the Muse line stands after three weeks.

  1. A pair of smart glasses with a small speech bubble above one lens.
    Muse is coming to Meta’s AI glasses in the coming months, woken by saying the agent’s name and able to act on what the wearer is looking at. Meta named no glasses models and no date.
  2. An envelope with an @ sign and a small spark: an agent with its own inbox.
    Muse gets its own email address, per Meta’s recap, to get things done or as another way to reach it. Computer use is now available in Muse for Mac: with permission it can drive any app on the machine.
  3. A shopping cart with a plug on a cable: a store connected to an agent.
    Meta added Walmart, Best Buy, American Eagle Outfitters, DICK’S Sporting Goods, Fanatics, Gap, Michael Kors, Sephora, Ulta and Wayfair as Muse connectors, plus Shop Pay and PayPal, with Expedia coming soon and Notion, Granola, GitHub and Box named for work.
  4. A small pebble-shaped gadget resting in an open palm.
    Muse Charm is a pocket device for talking to Muse on a real-time voice model. Meta published no price, no date and no specifications, only that it will have more to share later this year.
  5. Lightweight VR glasses with a cable running to a round puck.
    Meta VR Glasses weigh about 100 grams, five times lighter than Quest 3, with battery and compute in a tethered puck rated for up to three hours of playback. They go on sale in spring 2027 for $1,299.99.
  6. A laptop with a cursor clicking a window: buying from a screen.
    Ray-Ban Meta Audio, the first camera-free pair, starts at $349 and ships October 13; Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 starts at $449 and is on sale now; a new Meta Adventurer starts at $249, on sale October 23. Meta says it will offer more than 100 glasses options by year end.

§ 01What Muse got

Announcement Status Meta’s detail
Voice mode Announced Long conversations while Muse works in the background; design its voice by describing it
Muse Realtime Avatar Announced, from Meta Superintelligence Labs Turns Muse Realtime Voice into an expressive, interactive avatar
Muse on AI glasses In the coming months Woken by saying the agent’s name; acts on what you are looking at
Its own email address Announced To get things done, or as another way to reach Muse
Computer use in Muse for Mac Available now With permission, drives any app on the Mac
New connectors Announced Ten retailers, Shop Pay and PayPal, Expedia coming soon, Instacart, Notion, Granola, GitHub, Box
Muse Charm Announced, no date Pocket device built for talking to Muse
Table 1Muse announcements at Connect, per Meta’s recap and glasses post

On voice, Meta’s recap makes a distinction worth keeping: “Talking to an agent as capable as Muse is different from voice chat with an assistant.” The point is that the voice stays in the conversation while the agent does the work behind it. On the Mac, the line is plain: “With your permission, Muse can now drive any app on your Mac.” And on connectors: “Connectors are a big reason Muse can do so much for people.” Meta says Muse launched with dozens of partners and the whole Shopify catalogue, and Connect’s additions lean hard on shopping: Walmart, Best Buy, American Eagle Outfitters, DICK’S Sporting Goods, Fanatics, Gap, Michael Kors, Sephora, Ulta and Wayfair.

01What Muse got: a voice, a face, glasses, an inbox and a Mac

Four columns of word tiles: shopping with ten retailers from Walmart to Wayfair, payments with Shop Pay and PayPal, travel and kitchen with Expedia coming soon and Instacart, work with Notion, Granola, GitHub and Box

§ 02Muse Charm

The device that got the most attention on X has the thinnest official record. Meta describes Muse Charm as bringing Muse and “a state of the art real-time voice model” into “a device that fits in your pocket”, and then: “We’ll have more to share later this year.” No price, no date, no specifications and no connectivity details appear in Meta’s posts. Reporting about December timing and a 5G radio is not Meta’s, and we leave it out until Meta publishes it.

Meta says it will offer more than 100 glasses options across Ray-Ban, Oakley and Meta Glasses by the end of the year. Meta Ray-Ban Display adds online ordering and expands to the UK, Canada, France, Italy and Germany. The newsroom post and the recap disagree on one market: the newsroom lists the United Arab Emirates as launching today with Brazil coming soon, the recap lists both as coming soon.

§ 05The Muse line so far

Fig 3Three weeks of Muse, from launch to Connect

Read with our earlier records, Connect fills in the pattern: the launch put an agent on a secure computer, the connector platform opened the door to services, Amazon’s block showed that not every store wants a visiting agent, and Connect answered with a list of retailers that do. Meta’s glasses post states the philosophy in one sentence: “We believe AI should enhance your attention, not take it away.”

§ 06Where we sit

Muse is a personal agent for one person. Much of what it got this week, an inbox of its own, a voice that keeps working while you talk, control of a computer with permission, is what CellCog AI employees already do for a business, alongside each other on a shared board. The two fit together rather than compete: if you use Muse, it can send work to CellCog today through a custom connector with a CellCog API key, and the setup is at cellcog.ai/muse. CellCog is not a listed connector in Meta’s directory as of this page.

§ 07What we are watching for

  • A date, price and specifications for Muse Charm.
  • Which glasses get Muse first, and when.
  • The Muse email address going live, and the address format.
  • More named connectors, and whether Amazon returns.
  • Muse Realtime Avatar reaching the app.

Frequently asked5 questions

Q1Is Muse Voice coming to all Meta glasses?

Meta’s words are our AI glasses, in the coming months, with no model list. A viral post said all smart glasses; Meta’s posts do not say all, and the recap names the voice model Muse Realtime Voice, not Muse Voice.

Q2Is Muse Charm a 5G phone?

Meta has not said. Its recap describes a delightful and fun device that fits in your pocket and runs a real-time voice model, with more to share later this year. Connectivity, price and date are unpublished.

Q3Did Meta open Muse to developers at Connect?

Not at Connect. Meta opened the Muse connector platform on September 18, 2026; Connect added a list of named partner connectors on top of it. Our record of that launch is linked below.

Q4Did Meta Glasses reach the UAE?

Meta’s two posts disagree. The newsroom post says the glasses launch starting today in the United Arab Emirates, with Brazil coming soon; the recap lists the UAE with Brazil as coming soon.

Q5Can Muse send work to CellCog?

Yes, through a custom connector: Muse takes a CellCog API key and calls our API, and the setup is described at cellcog.ai/muse. CellCog is not listed in Meta’s connector directory as of this page.
