Meta launched its Muse AI agent on Apple Watch and Wear OS on November 9, 2026, the company announced on social media. Users can now interact with the AI assistant through voice calls, text messages, or dictation directly on their smartwatch. The smartwatch launch follows Meta's October release of a dedicated iPad app for Muse, which first debuted on the App Store in September, signaling the company's focus on making Muse a central part of its ecosystem across Apple devices.
Muse Enables Voice and Text Interaction on Smartwatches
The smartwatch version of Muse allows users to connect their accounts to manage email, meetings, and bills. The AI assistant handles tasks including booking reservations, ordering groceries, setting goals, and making purchases. Users can personalize their Muse avatar to resemble a person, an animal, or another character type.
Meta Introduced Spaces and Video Chat Features
Meta launched Spaces a few days ago, described as a new way to communicate and collaborate with Muse. Spaces function as dedicated conversations around specific topics, appearing in the sidebar of the Muse interface as mini apps built on the fly. Last week, Meta rolled out video chat capability for U.S. users, enabling them to interact with their Muse AI avatar. Meta stated that Muse uses subtle expressions and gestures reflecting the tone and context of conversations as it speaks. The AI agent hears users and responds in real-time but does not see them.
Muse Surpassed 10 Million U.S. Downloads Within 40 Days
Shortly after its launch, Muse became one of 12 mobile apps to surpass 10 million U.S. downloads within their first 40 days in the App Store. Only 11 other apps have achieved this milestone, with Meta's Threads being the most recent in July 2023.
