giftdetect· the right gift in minutesMeta has brought its Muse AI assistant to the Apple Watch and to smartwatches running Google's Wear OS. According to the company, users can now interact with Muse from their wrist without reaching for a phone. Apple Watch support arrives with a new version of the Muse app on iPhone.
Three ways to reach Muse
On a smartwatch, there are three ways to use the assistant. Users can type a message, dictate a request by voice, or start a voice conversation directly. On Apple Watch, the character that represents Muse sits at the center of the interface, and a shortcut can be added to the watch face for quicker access.
Muse is Meta's personal AI assistant. Once users connect their accounts, it can help manage emails, meetings and bills. It can also book restaurant tables, place grocery orders, set goals and help with shopping. The smartwatch launch continues the company's push to make the assistant available on more devices.
A fast-moving rollout
Muse arrived on the App Store in September, and Meta released an iPad version last month. In recent days the company also opened Spaces, a feature for running conversations and tasks focused on specific topics.
Last week, users in the United States gained the ability to hold video calls with a Muse avatar. During these calls the avatar uses facial expressions and gestures that fit the tone and context of the conversation. Meta says Muse cannot see users, but it can hear them and respond in real time.
Beyond its standalone app, Muse is also available inside Instagram, Facebook and other Meta apps. The wrist is the latest place where Meta is trying to make the assistant a constant, hands-free presence in daily routines.
