Meta Brings Muse to Apple Watch and Wear OS After 10 Million U.S. Downloads

3 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Nov 10

Summary

  • Meta on Monday extended its Muse AI agent to Apple Watch and Android Wear OS, letting users talk to it by voice call, text message or dictation from their smartwatch.
  • The move broadens Muse across Apple devices just a month after Meta launched a dedicated iPad app, underscoring its push to make the assistant a core consumer product.
  • Muse already handles tasks such as email, meetings, bills, reservations, grocery orders and purchases, while users can customize its avatar into human, animal or other characters.
  • Days earlier, Meta added Spaces—goal-focused mini apps built on the fly—and last week enabled U.S. users to video chat with Muse avatars that respond with expressions and gestures.
  • The rapid rollout follows a strong debut: Muse became one of only 12 mobile apps to top 10 million U.S. downloads within its first 40 days on the App Store.
