## Muse can now talk to you
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that Muse AI agents can have voice conversations with users in real time. The feature is now rolling out in the US for the iOS app.
## The avatar animates as it speaks
As you chat with your Muse agent over voice, the avatar at the top of your conversation animates in time with the words it is saying.
## The agent responds quickly but pauses
In testing, the Muse agent responds quickly over voice, though it occasionally pauses while looking up information or checking something, similar to text chat queries. The avatar animates what it is saying well.
## Coming to glasses and a new gadget
Voice mode and expressive avatars are rolling out now in the US for the iOS app.
## Key takeaway

Meta has rolled out voice conversations for its Muse AI agent, with animated avatars that sync to speech and customizable voices.
