Meta Muse Launches Voice and Animated Avatar Features
Understand the story
On November 6, 2026, Meta announced that its AI agent Muse has launched a voice mode and expressive animated avatar features. According to The Verge, users can have real-time voice conversations with Muse, the avatar at the top of the chat interface plays animated expressions in sync with the voice, and the voice can be changed via voice commands or avatar settings. Earlier reports said the feature first rolled out on iOS in the US. The same day, TechCrunch reported in a follow-up that the Muse Voice video chat feature is now available to all users in the US; it is based on the Muse Realtime Avatar and Muse Realtime Voice models, allowing users to talk in real time with an animated avatar named Jolly, which supports custom appearances and displays subtle facial expressions and gestures during conversations, and is currently available on mobile, web, and Mac. The two reports differ in coverage: the earlier report said it was limited to iOS in the US, while the follow-up said it is available to all US users across mobile, web, and Mac. Meta said the feature will come "soon" to Meta AI glasses and will support the Muse Charm wearable device scheduled to ship within the year, though no specific launch date has been announced.
