Meta brings Muse to AI glasses and adds realtime video avatars

At Meta Connect 2026, Muse got a hardware-and-presence follow-up, not a second debut. A few weeks after the personal agent landed on phones, WhatsApp, the web, and Mac, Meta said it will bring Muse to its AI glasses in the coming months and let people video-chat with an expressive avatar.

On glasses, the pitch is reach without a phone. Wearers will wake Muse by saying the agent's name. Meta says the agent can then act on what the wearer is looking at—a product on a shelf, a flier on a wall, a long list of school supplies—instead of waiting for a spoken description. The dedicated glasses post sketches everyday jobs: guiding a workout, logging meals, checking flight prices, booking an appointment, or buying something in view while driving, cooking, or mid-run. Muse can keep working in the background and check back when a task is done. That glasses work is still forthcoming.

Meta Superintelligence Labs also introduced Muse Realtime Avatar, embodiment technology that turns Muse Realtime Voice into interactive avatars. The Verge reports that users will soon have live video conversations with their Muse, with a new Realtime Avatar model informing how it moves. People can already customize how Muse looks. Meta is adding voice design by description—faster, slower, or a specific accent—alongside that model.

The voice mode is built for long, in-depth conversation rather than short assistant clips. Meta says you can keep talking while Muse gets work done in the background. Always-reachable glasses plus an embodied video presence is the Connect story: the agent starts seeing the world through a wearable and showing up as a face on a call.
