Context & Analysis

Meta's move brings voice interaction to its Muse AI agent, moving beyond text-based chats. The feature includes avatars that animate in sync with speech, which The Verge's Jay Peters tested on the iOS app and found responsive, though occasionally pausing while looking up information. Peters also noted that the animation for his chosen avatar—a digital likeness of Mark Zuckerberg—felt a little uncanny.

The rollout is starting in the US on the app, with Meta planning to extend it to its AI glasses "soon" and to its forthcoming Muse Charm gadget, which is supposed to ship this year. This suggests Meta is positioning voice and expressive avatars as a core part of how users will interact with its AI across devices, though the company has not shared a specific timeline beyond "soon" for the glasses and the current year for the Charm gadget.
