Can you use Muse on an Apple Watch?

Meta is bringing its Muse AI agent to the Apple Watch and Android’s Wear OS, the company announced Monday. Users can now talk to the assistant through voice calls, text messages or dictation directly from their smartwatch.

The watch launch comes a month after Meta introduced a dedicated iPad app for Muse. The assistant first launched on the App Store in September, and its expansion across Apple devices points to Meta’s growing ambitions for its consumer AI product. The company is clearly focused on making Muse a central part of its ecosystem.

What can Muse do for users?

Muse is one of dozens of consumer-facing AI agents competing for users’ attention. Like many rivals, it can connect to user accounts to manage email, meetings and bills. It also handles tasks such as booking reservations, ordering groceries, setting goals and making purchases.

Users can personalize their Muse avatar, changing it into something that resembles a person, an animal or another type of character.

How do Muse Spaces work?

Meta has moved quickly to add features since Muse arrived. A few days ago, the company launched Spaces, a new way for users to communicate and collaborate with the assistant. Meta describes Spaces as “custom experiences,” because they are mini apps built on the fly. Each Space is a dedicated conversation around a specific topic. They appear in the sidebar of the Muse interface and open a focused conversation in which the AI agent works toward a particular goal on the user’s behalf.

Last week, Meta rolled out video chat with Muse avatars for users in the U.S. The company said the avatar will use “subtle expressions and gestures” that reflect the tone and context of the conversation as it speaks. Muse cannot actually see users, but it can hear them and respond in real time.

The app has also drawn notable early interest. Shortly after launch, Muse became one of just 12 mobile apps to surpass 10 million U.S. downloads within their first 40 days on the App Store. Only 11 other apps have reached that milestone. Meta’s Threads was the most recent, in July 2023.
