Meta announced major expansions for its AI agent Muse at Connect. Muse will get a custom digital avatar for real-time video chat. It will integrate with Meta’s smart glasses for hands-free use. Muse will control apps on Mac desktops. It will receive its own email address for managing threads. Meta revealed partnerships with Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, and major retailers. Developers can now build custom connectors for Muse. Meta opened its connector platform to third-party developers. Over 1,500 connector applications were submitted in under a week. Meta positions Muse as a free, high-token agent with future monetization via transaction fees. The rollout timeline for glasses integration is unspecified beyond "coming months".
