Meta adds real-time voice conversations to Muse

Meta has introduced real-time voice conversations for its Muse AI agent, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The capability allows users to speak with Muse rather than relying only on typed messages.

During a conversation, the avatar displayed at the top of the chat animates in sync with the words spoken by the agent. Users can also adjust the voice’s tone. They can ask Muse to choose a preferred tone, or open the avatar settings and select from several available options.

The feature was available to the article’s writer during testing in Meta’s iOS app. In brief tests, Muse responded quickly over voice, although it sometimes paused while searching for information. The report describes the update as a new voice mode for the agent, with the interaction taking place directly inside the existing conversation experience. Meta’s announcement did not, in the supplied report, provide further details about the rollout or the range of devices that support the feature.
