Meta adds real-time voice conversation and dynamic avatars to its Muse AI assistant
Meta adds real-time voice conversation and animated avatars to its Muse AI assistant, supporting natural turn-taking and real-time interruption. Users can choose a style from hundreds of voices, or describe speed, tone, and accent in text to let Muse adjust itself. During conversations, the Muse avatar displays corresponding expressions and gestures based on the content, and Meta says the experience is powered by Muse Realtime Voice and Muse Realtime Avatar technology. A Verge reporter found during testing that Muse usually responds quickly, but occasionally pauses when looking up information; the avatar animation performs well but is sometimes slightly eerie, and the voice also cannot fully imitate the Mark Zuckerberg persona the reporter selected.

Meta Launches Voice Mode and Animated Avatars for Muse AI Agent
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the Muse AI Agent now supports real-time voice conversations, with the avatar at the top of the conversation animating in sync with what is being said, and users can adjust the tone through the conversation or avatar settings. A The Verge reporter, after testing on the iOS app, said voice responses were relatively fast, but pauses occurred when querying information, just like in text chat. The feature is currently rolling out to the app in the United States, and Meta says it will soon arrive on its AI glasses and will support the Muse Charm device planned to ship this year.
