Meta rolled out voice conversations for its Muse AI agent, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced. Users can now speak with Muse in real time on the iOS app in the US. The agent's avatar animates while speaking, syncing with the words it says.
Users can change the voice tone by asking the agent or browsing options in avatar settings. In testing, Muse responds quickly over voice, though it pauses occasionally while retrieving information. The avatar animates speech, though results vary by character choice.
Voice mode and expressive avatars are rolling out now in the US for the app. Meta plans to bring the feature to its AI glasses soon and to the upcoming Muse Charm gadget, which ships this year.
