Meta launches muse AI agent with enhanced features and cross-device integration

At Meta Connect2026, the company unveiled major upgrades to its personal AI agent, Muse, and launched a public pre-release program on September 25, 2026. The updates focus on system-level control, hardware integration, and new interaction methods. Muse now features a digital virtual avatar with real-time video interaction, expanded shopping ecosystem partnerships, and direct desktop control via its Mac version. The AI agent has also been fully integrated with Meta's smart glasses, enabling interaction through voice commands and wake-up words. Meta introduced a novel testing strategy called 'Prompt Trigger,' allowing users to register for the program by sending specific requests in Muse. This approach targets highly engaged AI users to gather early feedback. The company's move to grant desktop-level permissions and smart wearable access signals its intent to transform AI agents into cross-device, cross-system assistants available 24/7.
