Mark Zuckerberg predicts Muse will become a "personal superintelligence" for billions.
TL;DR
Meta on Wednesday added a host of features to its viral Muse assistant and announced plans to install the agent in new iterations of its products, from a handheld AI device to high-tech glasses. Why it matters: Meta has poured billions of dollars into both its AI and VR efforts. It's counting on convergence as a key part of making that bet pay off. Driving the news: New Muse capabilities include live video chat, real-time voice conversations with custom voice options and an e-mail address for each person's agent.
Nauti's Take
Video, voice and a dedicated email address give Muse real progress toward an everyday agent, and the retail partner list shows potential for AI-driven shopping. The limit is trust: anyone handing email and purchases to an agent needs clear controls, and Amazon is staying out for now.
Calling it superintelligence is marketing. Retailers should watch closely, because the customer relationship could shift toward Meta.
