According to TechCrunch, Meta opens Muse voice and video chat to all U.S. users

According to TechCrunch, Meta has rolled out Muse Voice to all users in the United States, adding calling and video chat to its consumer AI agent Muse. The feature first appeared at Meta’s Connect developer conference in September and is powered by Muse Realtime Avatar and Muse Realtime Voice technology. Users can talk to the animated Jolly avatar or customize it to look more like a person, animal, or other character, and Meta says the avatar uses subtle expressions and gestures during live conversation.
