Recreating Meta Muse Charm with a $50 Waveshare Necklace Modded Using Claude
Understand the story
Before Meta Muse Charm officially launched, a The Verge reporter bought a $50 Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.75C touchscreen pendant and turned it into a self-built AI Tamagotchi. By integrating Meta Muse's official open-source code and the Muse mobile app, and reprogramming the pendant with Claude Code, they replicated an AI pet necklace experience similar to the Meta Muse Charm ahead of its release. The project is complete and has been reported; no further developments have followed.
