Meta's Muse AI agent can now talk to you in real time with an animated avatar, for US users

The Next Web· 5 Nov

The Next Web reports that Meta has added live voice conversations to Muse, its personal AI agent, with an animated avatar that reacts as the conversation goes on. It is available now in the Muse app on phones, the web and Mac, in the US only. You can interrupt it at any point, it can keep working on tasks in the background, and there are hundreds of voices to choose from.

  • If you are in the US and try it, check the voice and avatar settings first, and keep private details such as card numbers out of spoken chats.
  • Outside the US, there is nothing to do yet, because the update is US only for now. Do not pay for anything that claims early access.
