Meta expands Muse agent with real-time avatar, glasses, Mac and commerce integrations
At Meta Connect, the company announced a broad set of upgrades to its new personal AI agent Muse — powered by the Muse Spark multimodal model — including a Muse Realtime Avatar for live video chats (the avatar is called “Jolly”), integration with Meta’s AI smart glasses, Mac desktop agentic capabilities, a dedicated Muse email address feature coming soon, and commerce/payment connectors with partners such as Shopify, Shop Pay, Stripe and PayPal plus retail partners including Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Walmart and Wayfair. Meta said Muse launched in early September, will run across users’ devices and accounts, and that some features should arrive “in the coming months,” while the company plans to subsidize initial token usage and later take a small fee on transactions.
