Meta is giving people a new way to interact with its AI assistant. The company has made its Muse Voice feature available to all users in the US. It allows people to talk to their AI assistant through voice and video calls.
This AI assistant was first revealed at Meta Connect in September. Reportedly, the AI tool uses two systems: first, Muse Realtime Avatar, and second, Muse Realtime Voice. These two systems work together to create a digital character that can speak and respond accordingly during a live chat. Users can ask questions, share ideas, and give tasks without typing anything.
What sets Muse apart from others is its customization feature. Its digital character, Jolly, can be changed into a person, an animal, or any character users want it to become. The avatar also uses facial expressions and hand movements to make chats feel more natural. However, it can’t actually see a user. It only listens to what they say.
Meta has revealed that Muse AI will work on smartphones and the web. Meta also plans to bring it to its AI Glasses and a small wearable device called Muse Charm before the end of 2026. This shows that Meta wants people to use AI beyond their phones and computers.

Natural conversations bring privacy concerns, and that’s true in every other way. People often overshare their personal details with AI, and that may increase when the conversation method changes to talking. They may discuss health issues, relationships, and private issues without much thinking of the consequences.
This way, companies may get more personal information from users, and without tight security, this data can be accessed by hackers. Thus, users need to know how their conversations are stored and used. Clear privacy rules will be important as these tools become more common.
Meta's Muse plans show that the future of AI may be more about conversations than text. Still, protecting user privacy and earning people's trust will matter just as much.
