Meta is rolling out real-time voice conversations and expressive avatars in the Muse app across mobile, web and Mac, beginning in the United States. Users can interrupt responses, choose from hundreds of voices and switch between voice-only, embedded-avatar and full-screen modes. Support for Meta AI glasses and the Muse Charm is planned next.
Meta has outlined new Muse agent capabilities from Connect 2026: more retail and work connectors, a voice mode that can continue tasks during conversation, a planned agent email address, and future access through AI glasses. The 24 September announcement describes mixed rollout states. Users should verify availability and authorisation before letting a personal agent transact or communicate on their behalf.
Google is rolling out new Connected Apps inside Gemini, spanning productivity tools such as Airtable and Linear, creative services including Adobe and Webflow, and lifestyle apps such as Peloton and SeatGeek.
