Muse started as a chatbot but will soon be an AI avatar you can talk with over video.
Meta announced several enhancements for its Muse AI agent on today’s date. The chatbot, originally launched as a chat interface, will now be able to engage in video chats with users. Muse agents are being given their own email addresses, which they can utilize to complete tasks. Users will be able to interact with these agents via the new email addresses as well.
Moreover, the Muse Mac app will be able to interact with users' computers. In addition to these changes, Meta has introduced video calling for Muse. Since its launch, the primary method of communication with Muse has been through a chat interface, but live video conversations with the AI avatar will become a reality soon. Users can also adjust the appearance and sound of their Muse avatar. The Realtime Avatar model allows the avatar to move more naturally.
Muse, which launched earlier this month, has been a popular app, topping the App Store charts and reportedly downloaded more than ChatGPT on mobile within the first 12 days. Meta is likely capitalizing on this success by quickly rolling out the new features. Meta also plans to launch Muse on its smart glasses in the coming months, enabling users to discuss what they are seeing through the glasses while conversing with Muse.
