Meta has extended its Muse AI assistant to Apple Watch and Android Wear OS, enabling voice, text, and dictation interactions directly from users' wrists.

Meta has broadened the accessibility of its Muse AI assistant by launching versions optimized for the Apple Watch and Android’s Wear OS, the company announced in November 2026. This update allows users to interact with Muse through voice calls, text messaging, or dictation directly on their smartwatches, integrating AI assistance seamlessly into daily life on wearable devices.

The smartwatch adaptation of Muse follows the introduction of a dedicated iPad app just a month earlier, signaling Meta’s strategy to embed Muse deeply into its ecosystem across various device types. Initially launched on iOS in September 2026, Muse has quickly grown as a versatile AI agent with functionalities rivaling numerous consumer AI assistants.

Muse connects with user accounts to manage emails, meetings, bills, and more, while also assisting with tasks such as booking reservations, ordering groceries, setting goals, and making purchases. Additionally, users can customize their Muse avatars to resemble various characters, ranging from human-like forms to animals.

Meta has continued to enhance Muse’s capabilities post-launch. Recently introduced features include "Spaces," a collaboration tool that creates focused conversation threads—termed "custom experiences"—to address specific goals with the AI’s assistance. These Spaces act like mini apps built dynamically within the Muse interface.

Another advancement is the ability for U.S. users to video chat with their Muse avatar, which communicates using subtle expressions and gestures reflecting conversational tone and context. While Muse doesn’t see users, it listens and responds in real-time, adding a layer of interactive personality to the AI experience.

Muse’s rapid adoption is notable; it became one of only a dozen mobile apps to surpass 10 million U.S. downloads within its first 40 days on the App Store. This milestone underscores Meta’s significant push into consumer AI with Muse poised to become a pivotal component of the company’s product lineup across multiple platforms.
