Muse Voice, a feature that enables users to call and video chat with Meta’s consumer AI agent, Muse, is now accessible to everyone in the U.S., the company announced.
First introduced at Meta’s Connect developer conference in September, the video chatting feature utilizes new AI models, specifically Muse Realtime Avatar and Muse Realtime Voice technology, to power the digital avatar.
While other AI competitors offer voice chat features, Meta’s Muse offers a cute, animated avatar, nicknamed Jolly, which users interact with to ask questions or request tasks. Additionally, users can customize the avatar to resemble a person, animal, or other character.
The company believes that anthropomorphizing Muse in this way could make consumers feel more connected to their AI agent, a connection that is expected to strengthen through live conversations.
As the Muse avatar speaks, Meta states it will use "subtle expressions and gestures" that correspond to the tone of the conversation.
The rollout was announced via blog post and X, where Meta’s chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, shared a demo. The video showed Wang joking about his love of posting memes on X, to which his Muse—a fluffy white dog—responded by suggesting disclaimers to avoid misinterpretation of Meta endorsements.
This new support for video calls arrives just before Meta plans to launch a Tamagotchi-like wearable device for its Muse AI agent before year-end. When the device arrives, the digital avatar will appear on its small screen, allowing users to talk to the agent and request task completion.
Meta reports that real-time conversations are supported on mobile, web, and Mac, with plans to expand availability to AI Glasses and the upcoming "Muse Charm" hardware device.
