Meta Connect 2026: Muse AI Agent Gets Video Chat, Standalone Gadget, and Smart Glasses Integration

Meta's Connect 2026 event introduced a sweeping set of Muse AI agent updates, including video chat capabilities, a new standalone Muse hardware device, and deep integration into the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses lineup. The standalone Muse gadget brings a persistent AI agent into a wearable form factor, while the glasses integration adds voice-accessible AI to Meta's existing eyewear platform. A new audio-only glasses variant was also announced, dropping the camera in favor of a simpler, more privacy-focused design. Developers building on Meta's AI platform should pay close attention to the new agentic APIs and the shopping/task-execution capabilities Muse demonstrated in hands-on sessions. This signals Meta's clear intent to make Muse a real-world action-taking agent, not just a conversational interface.
