I built an AI Tamagotchi before Meta could

The author built a DIY clone of Meta's Muse Charm for $50 using an ESP32, replicating AI companion features like conversation and cute avatars before Meta's release. While it lacks Meta's camera and 5G, it doubles as a pocket watch and remote viewfinder, though smart home control requires additional coding.

Background

Meta recently announced the Muse Charm, an AI-powered wearable companion device with a squishy face design. The Verge reviewed a preview unit, highlighting its conversational AI and companion features.
