Key takeaways
- Meta added real-time voice and expressive avatars to the Muse app on November 5, 2026, starting in the US.

- Meta gave no price, limits or dates for AI Glasses and Muse Charm.
Meta is adding voice and expressive avatars to its Muse app, so you can talk to Muse in real time instead of typing. The feature is rolling out now in the US, Meta said on November 5, on mobile, web and Mac. Tap the phone icon in the top-right corner to start.
Meta says responses play back right away and you can interrupt, as in a phone call. The avatar's expressions and gestures follow the tone of the conversation, and you choose how much of it you see: voice only, the avatar beside the chat, or full screen. Meta says there are hundreds of voice styles that you can change at any time.
Why it matters
Meta previewed the feature at Connect 2026. The pitch is hands-free use. Meta says Muse can keep working in the background while you talk, so you can give it a task while walking or when your hands are full. It suggests brainstorming, trip planning, interview practice and rehearsing a presentation or pitch.
Voice conversations are "coming soon" to Meta's AI Glasses and Muse Charm, with no date. Meta's post does not mention pricing, usage limits, supported languages or availability outside the US. For the basics, see our explainer on whether Meta Muse is free.
Meta has not said whether the voice mode will carry a usage cap. Until it does, treat the US launch as a first step rather than a finished product, and check the app for the phone icon if you are in the US.
