Meta is rapidly expanding the capabilities of its personal AI agent Muse, launched just a few weeks ago. At its annual Connect conference, the company unveiled a whole set of new features: Muse will be able to work with computers, email, and online stores, manage tasks through smart glasses, and even get its own physical device.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called Muse a central part of the company’s consumer AI strategy. In the future, he said, the agent should evolve into a personal “superintelligence” that billions of people will use to achieve their goals.

Muse is powered by the multimodal Muse Spark model and was conceived not as a regular chatbot, but as an agent capable of taking actions in connected apps and services. Now Meta is gradually turning it into an always-available digital assistant.

Muse will get a face and a voice

One of the new features will be a digital avatar for Muse. Users will be able to create a separate character for their agent and talk to it via real-time video calls.

To make this possible, Meta developed the Muse Realtime Avatar model. It is meant to transform what is currently a mostly faceless AI assistant into a character with an appearance, voice, and body.

During the presentation, Meta showed how a user interacts with such an avatar while assigning it tasks at the same time. In this way, the company is adding another layer of interaction to the agent — instead of a text interface, users will be able to talk to the character almost like to a real conversational partner.

Muse will move into smart glasses

Another major step is the integration of Muse with Meta’s smart glasses. Users will not need to take out their phone or open an app: it will be enough to address the agent by voice.

For example, Muse will be able to guide a person through a personal workout, log the food they have eaten, help book an appointment, or purchase an item the user has seen around them.

At the same time, the agent will be able to run in the background. The user gives it a task, continues going about their business, and Muse returns with the result when it finishes the job.

Meta plans to launch this capability in the coming months, but there is no exact date yet.

The AI will be able to work independently on a Mac

Muse will also get access to a Mac computer. Users will be able to delegate tasks to the agent, and it will be able to work with virtually any applications on the computer.

Meta gives a very practical example: Muse can be entrusted with part of a small business’s workload or ordinary work tasks, after which the user can step away from the computer. The agent will continue carrying out the assigned work on its own.

In this way, Muse is moving closer to the model of an AI agent that does not just answer questions, but directly controls programs and performs a sequence of actions on the user’s behalf.

Muse will get its own email address

Meta is also preparing a separate email address for Muse.

This will make it possible to include the agent in email threads or forward messages to it so it can process them on the user’s behalf. The feature is still in development and is expected to appear in the near future.

Its own email address is especially important for the concept of an always-working agent: Muse will be able to receive tasks regardless of whether the user is in front of a screen.

Shopping without a traditional online store

Meta is also actively developing the commerce side of Muse. The company has entered into partnerships with Stripe and Shopify, and the agent itself will be able to access Shopify’s entire catalog and make purchases via Lync and Shop Pay. Meta is also expanding support for PayPal.

In addition, Muse will be able to connect to apps from major retail chains and services, including Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Walmart, Wayfair, and Expedia. Instacart is expected to join them in the future.

The list of integrations is not limited to shopping: among the new connections are GitHub, Granola, and Notion.

Meta has also opened the platform to third-party developers, who can create their own connectors for Muse. According to Meta’s head of AI, Alexandr Wang, the company received more than 1,500 applications in less than a week.

Muse will get its own gadget

The most unexpected announcement was Muse Charm — a small wearable gadget that Meta presented in the format of “one more thing.”

The device, roughly the size of a small key fob, is intended to become a physical interface for Muse. Inside is the full stack needed for voice interaction and for running the digital avatar, while the character itself is displayed on a small screen.

Users will be able to carry the device in a pocket or attach it to their keys. To start a conversation, it will be enough to touch the sensor on the корпусе — there will be no need to unlock a smartphone or launch an app.

Zuckerberg compared Muse Charm to the fastest way to reach Muse when the user is not wearing smart glasses. The device will also be able to perceive what is happening around the user and use that information when interacting with the agent.

In appearance and concept, the gadget resembles a modern version of Tamagotchi: a small, always-available device with a lively digital character you can talk to.

Muse Charm is not yet ready for sale. Meta plans to complete development of the components and release the device for the December holiday season.

Meta is building not a standalone chatbot, but an entire ecosystem

In just a few weeks after launch, Meta has already managed to turn Muse from a new AI service into the foundation of an entire ecosystem of interfaces and integrations.

Users are given a choice: interact with Muse through ordinary devices, talk to a digital avatar, assign it work on a Mac, send it emails, make purchases, reach it through smart glasses, or carry a separate gadget on their keys.

At the same time, Zuckerberg sees Muse not only as a consumer service, but also as a potential source of revenue. Meta plans to make a large volume of usage free, expecting to later earn a small commission on transactions the agent carries out for users.

This is where the scale of Meta’s bet becomes clear: the company is trying to make Muse not just another window for interacting with AI, but an intermediary between people and digital services. If this model takes hold, users will increasingly have less need to open apps themselves, search for products, write emails, or perform routine actions on their own — a significant share of that work could be handled by a single always-available agent.
