Meta says US users can now video chat with their Muse AI avatar

What happened: Meta said Muse Voice, which lets U.S. users call and video chat with its Muse AI agent, is now available to everyone in the U.S. The feature was first introduced at Meta's Connect developer conference in September. Why it matters: Meta believes anthropomorphizing Muse with an animated avatar could make consumers feel more connected to the AI agent, and the rollout comes just before its planned Tamagotchi-like wearable device for Muse.
