Meta turns Muse into a multimodal assistant across email, desktop and video
Dedicated emails, Mac control, video avatars and smart glasses support push Muse deeper into daily use.
Meta is expanding its Muse AI agent from a text chatbot into a multimodal assistant that can interact over email, desktop, and video. Muse agents will receive dedicated email addresses so they can both execute tasks via email and communicate with users that way, and the Muse Mac app is being upgraded so the agent can control the computer. Meta is also adding live video calls with customizable Muse avatars, whose movement is driven by a new Muse Realtime Avatar model. In the near future, Muse will launch on Meta’s smart glasses so users can converse with the agent about what they are seeing. These updates follow Muse’s strong early traction, including topping the App Store charts and surpassing ChatGPT in mobile downloads during its first 12 days.
Why it matters
By giving Muse its own email address, control over a Mac, and live video avatars, Meta is weaving the assistant into more of users’ everyday tools and interactions. People who already use Muse on mobile will be able to delegate tasks over email, see and talk to an animated avatar on video calls, and eventually interact with the agent through smart glasses, which could reinforce its early momentum in downloads and usage.
