Meta has announced that users in the United States can now engage in live video chats with its Muse AI avatar. The updated feature allows individuals to hold real-time spoken conversations with customized, animated personas directly on their devices. This rollout serves as a precursor to Meta's upcoming launch of a dedicated Tamagotchi-inspired wearable device designed to bring the Muse digital companion into everyday physical environments. Meta aims to make human-AI interaction more expressive, personal, and continuous across consumer hardware and social software ecosystems as multimodal generative AI agents evolve.
