As advertised

The noise matches the real change.

Your call: hype or real?

Real = it will matter in daily use. Hype = louder than it is. One vote, and it can’t be changed.

Why it matters

Talking to the assistant is faster than typing, and you can interrupt it while it speaks.

For most people

Wait: for now the service is US-only.

The details

  • It works on mobile, web and Mac; start a call from the phone icon on the conversations screen.
  • You can interrupt Muse while it speaks and pick its voice from hundreds of styles.
  • The avatar's expressions and lip movements follow the speech, and it can look like a person, an animal or another character.
