Meta rolls out voice chat for Muse
Meta is bringing real-time voice conversations and expressive avatars to its Muse app in the US, giving its consumer AI agent a spoken interface first previewed at Connect 2026.
Meta announced that real-time voice conversations with Muse, previewed at Connect 2026, are now rolling out in the Muse app on mobile, web and Mac. Users start a conversation by tapping a phone icon in the app's top-right corner.
The feature runs on two systems Meta calls Muse Realtime Voice and Muse Realtime Avatar. Meta says responses arrive immediately and that users can interrupt Muse mid-reply. The company published no latency figures, model details or benchmarks.
Users can choose how visible the agent is: voice only, an avatar shown next to the conversation, or a full-screen avatar for face-to-face talk. Meta says the avatar uses expressions and gestures that match the tone of the conversation and reacts while the user is speaking. Users can choose from hundreds of voices, with examples including a New Yorker accent and a pirate, and change them at any time.
Meta suggests using voice to work through loosely formed ideas, such as planning a trip, and to rehearse job interviews, presentations or pitches out loud.
The rollout is US-only for now. Meta says voice conversations are "coming soon" to its AI Glasses and Muse Charm but gave no date. This extends the company's push to put Muse on more devices. As we reported earlier, Meta has already brought the agent to glasses. Meta did not say whether voice features will expand outside the US or if they will cost extra.
