Muse voice rolls out to all US users: AI can make phone calls now, and the comments ask about censorship first

Alexandr Wang announced on X that Muse voice is now available to all users in the US. You can now call Muse directly and have video chats with it, no longer limited to a text box. In the post, he mentioned that he had encountered a tricky situation that day, asked Muse for advice, and described it as sage and calm as always. In the video, a small dog wearing a puffer jacket appears; when it speaks, it is another matter entirely, and someone in the comments said directly that they did not expect that voice to come from that dog.

This feature update does not go into technical details and focuses on availability and use cases. Phone and video are entry points closer to everyday communication, especially for people who are not used to writing long prompts. Muse is placed inside a pet persona, which makes the product very memorable, but users' first reactions are not uniform.

The most common questions in the comments are about regions, platforms, and boundaries. Some ask whether it is available on Android, some ask when Poland, Canada, and the EU will get it, and others ask whether it can be set as an iPhone Action button shortcut. Pazow asks directly whether censorship will remain, saying it is very annoying. Ryan G asks whether Muse can make phone calls on someone's behalf. Jayanth Veeramachaneni follows up asking whether phone and video chat are only inside the Muse app or also support WhatsApp. These questions share a practical concern: once voice features leave the app, entry points, regions, and content policy become part of the product.

Some users also focus on the persona and tone. Moriarty jokes that a small dog in a puffer jacket telling people not to post memes during work hours is a suitable HR person. Peter Yang replies to Alexandr Wang, saying don't listen to Muse and keep posting memes. Alexandr Wang replies that he did have a 1:1 with his boss today, and we'll see whether it comes up. Ben asks for the cheerful sunflower to support this feature. Nikhitha Reddy posts an image calling for this Muse to come back, while Jorge De la Cruz Padilla simply replies with a crying-face emoji.

Based on the information made public, the full US rollout of Muse voice is a clear fact. Phone and video chat are available, but cross-region support, Android, third-party messaging apps, and censorship policy have not been answered in the tweet. As voice assistants move from the text box to the phone interface, the experience will feel more human, and it will also expose product boundaries faster. The comments section is already doing acceptance testing for it; the questions are not fancy—they are all frictions it will encounter next.
