Meta is bringing its Muse AI agent to smartwatches, making it easier for users to interact with the assistant without having to pull out their phones. The agent is now available on Wear OS and watchOS, allowing users to send prompts, chat with Muse and keep track of ongoing tasks directly from their wrists.
Muse AI on Smartwatches Needs a Companion App
Muse AI on Wear OS and WatchOS is not native. Since the agent is too large for on-device processing, the smartwatch app acts as a front end, while the main tasks are handled by the user's paired smartphone.
Through the interface, users can input commands via typed text, dictation, or direct voice chat. The signature cure mascot will remain at the front and centre, mirroring the UI planned for Meta's upcoming standalone Muse Charm wearable.
Additionally, Apple Watch users get a watch face complication for instant access. However, the same hasn't been confirmed to arrive on Wear OS smartwatches.
While Muse AI on smartwatches allows users to monitor active tasks and approve actions, some advanced capabilities remain in a grey area.
For starters, Muse is capable of carrying out automated payments on behalf of the user, but Meta has not clarified whether financial transactions can be fully authenticated directly on the smartwatch display.
That said, for those unaware, Meta's Muse AI is a personal AI agent that executes multi-step tasks on behalf of the user. It can fill out web forms, book travel tickets, reserve seats at a restaurant or even manage calendars and emails.
It's also worth noting that Muse AI is currently limited to the US, Canada, Japan and select European countries. In India, standard Muse features are only available on WhatsApp and Instagram, and there's currently no word on when it could officially arrive in the subcontinent.
While Meta is still smoothing out Muse AI's rough edges, its availability on smartwatches signals a wider push to make the agent more accessible to a wider audience.
