Meta Muse AI agent now runs on Wear OS watches

Key takeaways
- Meta Muse AI agent is now accessible on Wear OS watches via a companion app.
- The watch serves as a control hub; all AI processing remains on the phone.
- Users can interact by text, dictation or voice chat on the wrist.
- Payment authorisation on the watch is still unconfirmed.

How the app works on Wear OS
The new Wear OS app acts as a remote control for the Muse AI agent. The colourful mascot fills most of the watch screen, mirroring the design Meta previewed for its upcoming Charm wearable. Users can launch tasks, view progress and approve actions directly from the wrist.
Phone dependency and task approval
The AI agent does not run natively on the watch. All computation happens on the paired phone, and the watch simply relays commands and shows updates. This means the phone must be nearby and connected for the agent to function.
Voice and text input options
Three input methods are available on the watch: typing, dictation and a voice chat mode similar to Gemini Live. Apple Watch users also receive a custom complication for quick access, while Wear OS does not yet have an equivalent shortcut.
Payments and future clarification
Muse can execute payments on behalf of the user, but Meta has not confirmed whether a transaction can be authorised entirely on the watch or if phone confirmation will still be required. Further details are expected from Meta.
