Meta Rolls Out Video Chat Capabilities for Muse AI Avatar to U.S. Users
Meta has officially launched 'Muse Voice,' a feature allowing U.S. users to engage in video chats and voice calls with its consumer AI agent, Muse. Powered by new Muse Realtime Avatar and Muse Realtime Voice technologies, the feature provides an animated digital avatar that utilizes subtle expressions and gestures to match conversational tones. Users can customize their avatars into various forms, such as humans or animals, to foster a deeper emotional connection with the AI. The rollout serves as a precursor to Meta's broader hardware strategy. The company plans to launch a dedicated wearable device for Muse before the end of the year, which will feature a small screen for avatar interaction. Currently available on mobile, web, and Mac, these real-time conversational capabilities are slated to expand to Meta's AI Glasses and upcoming 'Muse Charm' hardware.
