Meta brings its Muse AI agent to Apple Watch and Wear OS with voice calls, text and dictation

Meta's Muse AI agent is now available on Apple Watch and Android's Wear OS, the company announced on Monday. Users can interact with the assistant through voice calls, text messages, or dictation directly on their smartwatch, according to TechCrunch's report.

Muse's official account announced the launch on November 9, 2026, with the line: "Works around the clock, and now on your wrist."

Rollout across Apple devices

The smartwatch launch comes a month after Meta introduced a dedicated iPad app for Muse. Muse first launched on the App Store in September. TechCrunch frames the expansion across Apple devices as a sign of Meta's growing ambitions for its consumer AI product and its focus on making Muse a central part of its ecosystem.

What Muse does

Muse lets users connect their accounts to manage email, meetings, bills, and more. It also handles tasks such as booking reservations, ordering groceries, setting goals, and making purchases. Users can personalize a Muse avatar and change it into something resembling a person, an animal, or another type of character.

Recent feature additions

Meta has shipped several Muse features in quick succession:

• Spaces: Launched a few days ago, Spaces are dedicated conversations around specific topics. Meta describes them as "custom experiences" because they are mini apps built on the fly. They appear in the sidebar of the Muse interface and open a focused conversation in which the agent works toward a particular goal on the user's behalf.
• Video chat with the avatar: Last week, Meta rolled out the ability for users in the U.S. to video chat with their Muse AI avatar. Meta said Muse uses "subtle expressions and gestures" that reflect the tone and context of the conversation as it speaks. Muse does not see users, but it can hear them and respond in real time.

Adoption

Muse became one of 12 mobile apps to surpass 10 million U.S. downloads within their first 40 days in the App Store. Only 11 other apps have reached that milestone, and Meta's Threads was the most recent, in July 2023.

TechCrunch describes Muse as one of dozens of consumer-facing AI agents competing for users' attention.

What this means

This is a distribution update, not a new model release. Muse now reaches users on the wrist as well as on the phone and iPad, and the voice, text and dictation inputs match how people use a watch. Combined with Spaces and U.S. video chat with the avatar, the past two weeks show Meta adding both new surfaces and new interaction modes to Muse at a fast pace. The 10 million U.S. download milestone within 40 days gives that expansion a sizable base of users. Meta has not been quoted in the report on the underlying model behind Muse, and details on watch-specific features beyond the three input methods were not given.
