Meta released its Muse AI agent with enhanced features on September 24, 2026, saying it can now support real-time video chats with customizable avatars, have its own email addresses, and control Mac apps. It is the company's first major AI agent update since its initial launch at Meta Connect 2025.
Meta reported no specific benchmark scores for the Muse AI agent, measured on any particular condition, as the source does not provide such data. That compares with no earlier figure, as the source does not give one.
The Muse AI agent is built on Meta's internal AI architecture and targets productivity and personal assistant use cases. Availability begins in the coming months, initially for users of Meta's smart glasses.
"It's an exploration and not the core of our AI hardware strategy," said CTO Andrew Bosworth. The company is focusing on broader AI integration across devices and platforms.
The announcement follows Meta Connect 2026, where the company showcased several new devices and AI features. The source frames the significance as part of Meta's ongoing effort to integrate AI into everyday computing experiences.
Meta did not say when the Muse AI agent will be available on smart glasses, and the source raises the open question of how the agent will handle privacy concerns. The company plans to bring its 'Private Processing' system to the glasses, but no timeline was given.
