Meta Launches Muse on Apple Watch and Wear OS

Muse arrives on Apple Watch and Wear OS devices, allowing interaction via voice, text, or dictation on the wrist. Meanwhile, Meta adds video chat with the AI avatar in the United States and thematic Spaces. The service has surpassed 10 million downloads in 40 days on the App Store in the United States.

10 million downloads and video chat in the United States

Shortly after its launch, Muse joined the exclusive group of 12 mobile applications that have crossed the 10 million downloads mark in the United States within the first 40 days of their arrival on the App Store. To date, only 11 other applications have reached this milestone, the most recent being Threads in July 2023. Meta has also launched the ability for American users to video chat with the AI avatar Muse. According to Meta, the agent uses subtle expressions and gestures that reflect the tone and context of the conversation while speaking. Muse does not observe users on video, but it can hear them and respond in real-time.

Voice commands, messages, and tasks on the wrist

From a smartwatch, users can interact with Muse through voice calls, text messages, or dictation. The agent allows users to connect their accounts to manage emails, meetings, and bills. It also supports tasks such as making reservations, ordering groceries, setting goals, or making purchases. Users can customize their Muse avatar as a human, animal, or other character.

Deployment on watches, iPad app, and thematic Spaces

Meta now offers Muse on Apple Watch and Wear OS. This expansion comes a month after the introduction of a dedicated app on iPad, launched on the App Store in September. Meta has also launched Spaces, dedicated conversations on specific topics. According to the company, Spaces correspond to tailored experiences, generated on demand in the form of mini-applications. Spaces are placed in the sidebar of the Muse interface and open a specialized discussion where the AI agent works to achieve a specific goal for the user.
