Meta has rolled out voice mode and expressive avatars for its Muse AI agent, starting in the United States. According to The Verge, the update allows users to engage in real-time voice conversations with the agent. The feature includes avatars that animate in synchronization with the words being spoken.
The Verge reports that users can change the tone of the agent's voice by browsing through various options in the avatar settings or by asking the agent to decide. During testing on the iOS app, the agent responded quickly via voice, though it occasionally paused to look up information or check queries. In one instance described by The Verge, the avatar animation was noted as being somewhat uncanny.
