He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme.Meta now lets you have voice conversations with your Muse AI agent in real time, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today.The feature has been rolled out to me, and I gave it a spin on the iOS app while writing this article. As you chat with your Muse agent, the avatar at the top of your conversation animates in time with the words that it’s saying. You can also change the tone of the voice by just asking your agent about what you want and letting it decide or by browsing through a bunch of options in the avatar settings.In my brief tests, my Muse agent responds quickly over voice, though it occasionally pauses while it’s looking up information or checking something for me (like it would with a text chat query).
It also animates what it’s saying well, though for my particular avatar, it’s been a little uncanny. I set my Muse agent’s avatar to look like Mark Zuckerberg as a constant reminder that I’m chatting with a Meta service (I refuse to be charmed by a Jolly!), and seeing the digital Zuckerberg facsimile actually talk with me is quite weird. I also can’t get my Muse agent’s voice to sound exactly like Mark Zuckerberg.Screenshot: MuseMuse’s voice mode and expressive avatars are rolling out now in the US for the app, Meta says. They’re coming “soon” for Meta’s AI glasses and will also be available for its forthcoming Muse Charm gadget, which is supposed to ship this year.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Jay PetersAIMetaNewsTechMeta turns Muse sharing back onJay PetersOct 2210 million people have already set up Muse agents.Jay PetersOct 21Meta’s Muse AI hits 10 million US downloads.Robert HartOct 20Most PopularAnker’s new window-mounted camera monitors the outside of your home from within itSam Altman addresses RAM comments: People should ‘put as much as they want in their computers’The touchscreen MacBook Pro is a winnerDiscord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAMThose Jeff Bezos hair transplant photos are very fakeAdvertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
