ByteDance is planning an AI agent similar to Meta's Muse within weeks

Meta's Muse AI agent has become accessible on Wear OS and Apple Watch smartwatches, according to a recent X post from the official Muse account. The Wear OS app functions as a remote control for interacting with the AI agent or approving tasks, although it still necessitates a smartphone to operate the agent. The agent's distinctive mascot occupies the majority of the smartwatch screen, reminiscent of Meta's earlier Charm wearable concept.

Muse has been gaining popularity due to its appealing visuals and additional perks for free users. In a previous report, the agent was found to be surprisingly useful, even on the free tier. Last week, Meta introduced voice mode to Muse, enabling users to communicate with the AI agent in a way similar to Google's Gemini Live. Today, the Muse account shared an image of the mascot donning smartwatches, further emphasizing that Muse is now "working around the clock" directly from the wrist.
