Meta adds real-time voice chat to its Muse AI agent

Meta has added a voice mode to Muse, its AI agent. Users can now hold real-time spoken conversations with the agent instead of only typing. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the change on 5 November 2026, according to reporting by The Verge.

The Verge reporter said the feature had already reached their own account and tested it in the iOS app while preparing the article. During a chat, an avatar at the top of the screen responds as the conversation moves along. The source excerpt does not give details on which countries or accounts get the feature first, or on any limits or pricing.

The update affects people who already use Muse on their phones and want to talk to an assistant hands-free, for example while cooking or moving around the house. Only one source covers the launch so far, so rollout scope and timing remain unconfirmed. Readers who want to try it should check the Muse app for an updated voice option, since availability may vary by device and region.
