The brief
Meta's Muse AI agent can now place calls to U.S. businesses on behalf of users, according to coverage from TechCrunch, Engadget, Crypto Briefing, and TechRadar. The feature is available to users with a paid subscription, as noted by Engadget. TechRadar reports that Muse is launching on Apple Watch and Android Wear OS, marking an expansion of the AI agent onto wearable devices. Crypto Briefing frames the capability as Meta's Muse AI agent making phone calls for US users. The coverage does not yet specify which businesses can be reached, how calls are initiated, or what subscription tier is required.
Coverage emphasizes the wearable rollout, with TechRadar highlighting Apple Watch and Android Wear OS as the platforms receiving the Muse AI agent. Engadget's reporting centers on the paid-subscription requirement, while TechCrunch focuses specifically on the ability to place calls to U.S. businesses. Crypto Briefing confirms the U.S. user scope.
The background for this development is Meta's broader push into AI agents that can act on users' behalf, moving beyond chat-based interactions into real-world tasks such as telephoning businesses. Placing calls to U.S. businesses represents a shift from information retrieval to action-taking, positioning Muse as an agent that can complete errands rather than only answer questions. The expansion to Apple Watch and Android Wear OS suggests Meta is targeting hands-free, on-the-go use cases where pulling out a phone is inconvenient. The paid-subscription model indicates Meta is monetizing the agent as a premium service rather than offering it to all users at no charge.
What to watch next depends on facts the coverage has not yet established, such as which businesses are in the initial calling network, whether users can review or edit calls before they are placed, and how the paid subscription is priced and tiered. Coverage does not state whether international calling will follow the U.S. launch, or whether Muse will handle incoming calls as well as outgoing ones. Readers should look for Meta's official documentation on call limits, business categories supported, and privacy safeguards for conversations conducted by the AI agent on a user's behalf.
