🗣️Meta Rolls Out Muse Voice Video Calls With AI Avatar to All US Users

Your next AI chat might have a face

Meta just made Muse Voice available to everyone in the U.S., so you can now call or video chat with its consumer AI agent. Yes, the agent has a face now. The avatar can be styled as a person, an animal, or some other character, and it reacts with subtle expressions and gestures that match the conversation. Why should you care? Because this is Meta testing whether a talking avatar makes people stick around. The avatar can't see you, but it hears you and responds to what you say, and it can take requests and handle tasks on your behalf. If you're building voice interfaces or thinking about conversational UX, this is a live consumer test you can study right now. The feature launched at Meta's Connect conference in September and runs on new models, Muse Realtime Avatar and Muse Realtime Voice. Real-time conversations work on mobile, web, and Mac today. Meta says support is coming to its AI Glasses and the Muse Charm hardware device, and a Tamagotchi-like wearable with a small screen is planned before year-end.
