Meta Adds Mac Support and Smart Glasses to AI Agent Muse

Meta announced major updates to its AI agent Muse at its Connect event in Menlo Park. The company is adding Mac support, smart glasses integration, and a new digital avatar. These changes aim to make the agent more useful for daily tasks.

Muse launched in early September. It connects to user apps like email and calendars to handle busy work. CEO Mark Zuckerberg called it a central part of Meta's future strategy. The agent is powered by a model called Muse Spark.

Muse gains a visual face

Users can soon create a unique digital avatar for their agent. This feature allows for real-time video chats with the AI. A new model called Muse Realtime Avatar powers this capability. It gives the software a face, body, and voice.

This makes the interaction feel more personal. Users can ask questions or give tasks while seeing the avatar. It moves beyond simple text-based interactions. The company demoed this feature on stage.

Integration with Mac and glasses

Meta is bringing Muse to Mac computers. This allows the agent to operate any app on the desktop. Users can delegate tasks and walk away. The agent keeps working in the background.

Muse will also work with Meta smart glasses. Users can activate it with a wake word. It can guide workouts, log meals, or help buy products. The company says this launches in coming months.

Free usage with transaction fees

Meta plans to keep Muse free for many tokens. It expects to make money through small transaction fees. This model aims to benefit users and the company. The agent will get its own email address soon.

TechCrunch reported on these new capabilities. The expansion shows Meta's strong push into consumer AI. It competes with agents from OpenAI and Anthropic. The goal is deep integration into daily life.
