Meta has announced that its Muse AI agent is now available on the Apple Watch and Android Wear OS. The company made the statement on Monday.
Availability and timing
The smartwatch release follows a dedicated iPad application, which arrived on the App Store in September. Muse now operates across Apple devices, a move suggesting Meta intends to make the assistant a core part of its consumer ecosystem.
The assistant connects to user accounts to manage email, meetings, bills, reservations, grocery orders, goals, and purchases. Users can also customise the Muse avatar to resemble a person, an animal, or another character.
Recent features
Meta introduced Spaces a few days ago. These function as dedicated conversations around specific topics. They appear in the sidebar of the Muse interface and launch as mini apps built for a particular goal. Meta describes them as custom experiences.
Last week, users in the U.S. gained the ability to video chat with their Muse avatar. The agent uses subtle expressions and gestures to reflect the tone and context of the conversation. Muse does not see the user but can hear them and respond in real time.
Adoption figures
Muse became one of just 12 mobile apps to surpass 10 million U.S. downloads in the first 40 days in the App Store. Only 11 other apps have reached this milestone, with Meta’s Threads being the most recent in July 2023.
What it means
For people using wearables, this change means the ability to speak to the assistant via voice calls, text messages, or dictation directly on the watch. It does not alter any existing privacy policies, API behaviour, or customer account settings.
