Meta is bringing its Muse AI agent to the Apple Watch and Android’s Wear OS, as announced by the company on Monday. With this rollout, users gain the ability to interact directly with the artificial intelligence assistant through voice calls, text messages, or dictation straight from their smartwatches. This expansion highlights Meta's ongoing efforts to embed its consumer AI product deeper into daily digital ecosystems.
Expanding Across Smartwatches and Tablets
The smartwatch debut arrives just a month after the company introduced a dedicated iPad application for the assistant following its mobile release on the App Store in September. Muse now operates in a crowded market where dozens of consumer-facing AI agents compete for daily engagement. Similar to competing services, it allows individuals to link their personal accounts to oversee emails, schedule meetings, handle bills, manage grocery orders, set personal goals, and complete purchases seamlessly.
Customization and Collaborative Features
Users can also personalize their digital avatar by reshaping it into an appearance resembling a human, an animal, or another stylized character. Despite its relatively recent arrival on the market, the developer has rapidly introduced advanced capabilities. Recently, the platform introduced Spaces as a collaborative communication method. These function as dedicated conversation spaces built around specific topics, acting as dynamic mini applications within the interface sidebar to help the agent work toward specific user objectives.
Video Chat Capabilities and Download Milestones
Additionally, the platform recently enabled users in the United States to engage in video chats with their digital avatar. The system utilizes subtle expressions and gestures that mirror the tone and context of the ongoing dialogue while operating in real time, though it listens to audio rather than visually observing the user. Shortly after its initial debut, the application achieved a rare milestone by surpassing 10 million downloads in the U.S. within its first 40 days, placing it among a select group of mobile applications to reach that threshold so quickly.
