Meta announced a US-first rollout of voice conversations and expressive avatars in Muse on November 5. It covers the mobile app, web and Mac, following the earlier Connect preview.

Voice with an optional visual presence

People can use voice alone, show the avatar beside a conversation or make it full screen. Meta says the avatar responds with expressions and gestures while listening and speaking, and offers hundreds of selectable voices.

The company describes interruptible conversations and background task handling. These are product claims, not an independent latency or reliability evaluation.

A rollout, not a new general-model release

A September technical overview describes how Realtime Voice and Realtime Avatar share a speech-token stream to coordinate sound and movement. The November update concerns app availability; it does not establish a new Muse Wonder checkpoint, token tariff or independent benchmark.

Voice support for AI Glasses and Muse Charm is still described as coming soon.
