At Meta Connect 2026, Meta presented its personal agent Muse as the center of a hardware-plus-agent strategy, introducing new features and devices while teasing a future frontier model. The company showcased Muse's expanded capabilities, including voice and real-time video interactions, alongside new hardware like VR glasses and the Charm keychain.
- Muse now supports voice and real-time video, allowing long conversations while working on background tasks, with a dedicated email address for each user.
- Meta announced Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 glasses with longer battery life and first-ever Meta VR Glasses priced at $1,299.
- The Muse Realtime Avatar research release animates users in sync with voice, answering in under a second with watermarked output.
- A new keychain device called Muse Charm is scheduled to ship in December for talking to the agent.
- Meta acquired WaveForms AI, led by Alexis Conneau, aligning with its real-time voice and avatar stack.
These developments position Muse as a comprehensive personal assistant integrated across multiple hardware platforms and productivity tools.
