Muse launched on September 8 as Meta's personal AI agent for doing tasks across apps. At Meta Connect on September 23, the company outlined how it wants that agent to become easier to talk to, more useful on a computer and available through new devices. The announcements cover different rollout stages, so a feature mentioned on stage is not necessarily ready to use today.
Live voice conversations and a customizable voice
Meta says a new voice mode will let people hold a long conversation with Muse while it continues working in the background. The company also plans to let users describe the voice they want, including its pace or accent. This goes beyond the text-chat experience at Muse's launch, though Meta has not supplied a firm general release date for the new mode in its Connect recap.
Real-time avatars for video conversations
Meta Superintelligence Labs also introduced Muse Realtime Avatar, technology designed to turn an image into an expressive character that speaks and responds during a live conversation. The research team says its voice and avatar systems share a streaming speech signal to keep movement and sound aligned. Meta cautions that the demonstrations show model capabilities; they do not all represent avatars currently available in the Muse app. This is a technology announcement, not a promise that every demo can be tried immediately.
Muse is coming to Meta AI glasses
Meta announced that Muse will come to its AI glasses for hands-free help. In its Connect recap, Meta says users will be able to call the agent by name and ask it to act on what they see through the glasses, such as a product on a shelf or information on a flyer. Meta describes the glasses integration as arriving over the coming months, so it should not be confused with the existing Meta AI features on glasses.
An email address for the agent and more Mac control
Meta says Muse will get its own email address, giving people another way to contact the agent and allowing it to handle tasks by email. The Connect announcement did not specify when the address will be available to everyone.
Muse for Mac is further along. According to Meta's recap, computer use is already available in the Mac app: with permission, Muse can operate apps on the computer and keep working after a person steps away. That expands the places where the agent can act, but it also makes the access a person grants more consequential. Meta says users decide which apps and permissions Muse receives and can disconnect services.
More shopping, travel and work connectors
Meta says it is adding connections to major retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora and Wayfair, plus payment options such as Shop Pay and PayPal. It also names Instacart for groceries and Notion, Granola, GitHub and Box for work. Expedia is described as coming soon for travel planning. Meta has not published a detailed availability schedule for each newly named connection in the Connect recap, so users should check the options shown in their own Muse app.
A pocket device called Muse Charm
Meta also previewed Muse Charm, a small device intended for speaking with the agent away from a phone or computer. The company says it will share more details later in 2026. It has not disclosed a launch date, price or full specifications in the Connect announcement.
What Muse can do today, and what remains a plan
Meta's original Muse announcement says the agent is rolling out in the United States on iOS, Android and the web, and can also be contacted in WhatsApp. It can use its own browser for tasks, continue working after the app closes and request approval before sensitive steps such as sending an email or making a purchase. Meta's September 23 recap also lists the Mac app as an existing way to use Muse.
The Connect news points to a broader product, but availability matters: Mac computer use is already described as live; glasses integration is planned for the coming months; an agent email address, the new voice experience and Charm have no specific public launch date in Meta's recap; and avatar demonstrations do not all map to current Muse app features. For now, those distinctions are the clearest guide to what users can actually expect.
