Meta rolls out voice mode and expressive avatars for its Muse AI agent
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that the Muse AI agent now supports real-time voice conversations and animated avatars in the US.
New voice and avatar features arrive
The Muse AI agent can now speak with users while its avatar animates to match the words being said. Users may choose a specific voice tone or let the agent decide automatically through settings. The feature is currently available on the iOS app for users in the United States.
Performance and visual limitations noted
Testing shows the agent responds quickly over voice but occasionally pauses while looking up information. Some users find the avatar animation uncanny, particularly when set to resemble Mark Zuckerberg. The digital representation of the CEO talks with users, though the voice does not perfectly match his own.
Future expansion for hardware planned
Meta states that these capabilities will come soon for its AI glasses. The company has confirmed the rollout continues beyond the current mobile application release.
