Meta’s Muse AI agent has moved onto the wrist. The Muse account announced on 9 November that the assistant has arrived for Apple Watch as well as Wear OS, so owners of either kind of watch can reach it without taking out a phone.
On the Apple Watch, the iPhone app’s update puts the Muse character on the watch screen, with three ways to reach it: type a message, dictate one, or start a call. A Muse complication gives a one-tap shortcut from the watch face. The announcement image shows the same three buttons, call, chat and microphone, on a round Wear OS watch as well, although the post itself does not list Wear OS features.
Muse has been changing quickly this month. The same day as the voice calls, the app also learned to build a custom space from a prompt, and the watch apps extend it to a third kind of screen after the phone app and Meta’s own social apps. Muse is Meta’s personal agent, a yeti-like character that can carry out tasks for a user. It runs as a standalone app and inside Instagram, Facebook and other Meta apps, and on the watch the character sits in the middle of the display. The design resembles the Muse Charm, the companion device Meta announced in September.
The watch apps follow Muse’s voice calls with an animated avatar, which arrived on 6 November, so calling the agent from a watch is the next step of that feature. Meta’s announcement on X is a single line and a picture, and it gives no details on pricing, country availability or whether a paired phone is needed.
