Meta has announced that its new AI companion, Muse, is intended for adults only, even though its design features a cuddly mascot that resembles the popular Japanese plush toy Labubu and an upcoming Tamagotchi‑style AI device.
Muse is part of Meta’s expanding line of conversational AI tools. The company has positioned the product as a sophisticated, adult‑oriented chatbot that can engage users in natural language conversations.
The mascot, described as Labubu‑like, is a soft, plush figure that gives Muse a friendly appearance. An additional Tamagotchi‑style AI device is slated to accompany the software, offering a tangible, interactive experience.
Meta has clarified that Muse is not designed for children, citing privacy and safety considerations. The company stresses that the product’s content and functionality are tailored to an adult audience.
While the child‑friendly look may attract younger users, Meta maintains that Muse’s features and use cases are specifically aimed at adults, and the company will enforce age restrictions accordingly.
