Meta unveils new Muse AI features, smart glasses integration
–
Neutral summary
At the annual Meta Connect conference held Wednesday at the company's Menlo Park headquarters, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a range of new features for the Muse AI agent, which launched earlier this month. New capabilities include live video chat, real-time voice conversations with customizable voice options, and a personal email address for each agent. Meta also announced expanded retail partnerships, including Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, and Wayfair, making Amazon's decision to block Muse more conspicuous. The Muse app has become the most downloaded app in the US, surpassing ChatGPT, raising investor concerns about potential erosion of brand loyalty. The company confirmed that Muse will come to its smart glasses, including new models unveiled at Connect, but declined to specify a timeline beyond "in the coming months." According to The Verge, users will be able to activate the agent by saying its name and ask it to handle tasks like guiding a workout. Axios reports that Zuckerberg predicts Muse will become a "personal superintelligence" for billions of people. Frandroid notes that the glasses integration will initially be available only in the US.
