Meta's Muse can now make calls on your behalf (if you have a paid subscription)

The AI agent can schedule appointments, make reservations and wait on hold for you.

Meta's Muse just got another ability that could make the AI agent feel a little bit more like an actual personal assistant. Muse is now able to place phone calls on your behalf, if you have a paid subscription.

With the change, Muse is able to call businesses to help with tasks like making reservations, scheduling appointments and other "calls you don't want to make," Meta's Chief AI officer Alexandr Wang said in an update. The feature is available to those who have paid for a separate Muse subscription, which comes with additional tokens and some extra features.

Some users who have had access to the feature already have reported that Muse has been able to handle phone-related tasks with relative ease. Moltbook creator and Meta Superintelligence employee Matt Schlicht shared a recreation of a phone conversation his agent had with a Volvo dealership last month, noting that it was able to wait on hold in order to get the info he needed.

My muse called Volvo for me to see when the next available appointment is.

I have it do multiple calls like this every day (I'm still trying to get better and better at leveraging muse).
