With over 10 million users, Meta is betting that AI’s infinite patience will replace human frustration with phone trees and hold times. The feature leverages improved voice mimicry to interact with receptionists, though many still hang up upon detecting non-human voices. This moves Muse from text-based assistance into active, autonomous execution of real-world tasks, marking a significant step toward mainstream consumer AI utility.

The market reacted swiftly, dropping shares by 17% after Nebius cut its 2026 revenue forecast, proving that hype cannot override concrete capacity.
