Instinct and Meta Muse AI Agents Now Make Phone Calls to Connect with US Businesses

Enhanced Capabilities for Instinct and Meta Muse AI Agents

According to НВ — Техно: On September 18, 2023, it was announced that the AI agents Instinct and Meta Muse have been equipped with a new phone call feature, enabling them to interact directly with companies across the United States. This breakthrough allows users to book restaurant tables, schedule medical appointments, and handle everyday tasks via phone conversations. Instinct introduced this feature under the name Instinct Concierge in an early access phase for select users, while Meta Muse’s calling function is initially available upon user request.

How Instinct and Meta Muse Are Revolutionizing User Interaction

The Instinct AI agent can place calls to restaurants that don’t support online reservations. Additionally, it can:

• add users to waitlists for canceled dental appointments;
• assist in resolving cable TV billing issues.

“The agent can call restaurants without online booking, add users to dental appointment waitlists, or help sort out cable television bill problems,” explained Noah Shinn.

Instinct has further expanded its functionality by enabling AI agents to create and manage email addresses for account registrations. Users can also permit their AI agents to communicate with agents of trusted contacts through a secure network. In August, Instinct secured $350 million in funding at a $2.5 billion valuation and is currently negotiating an additional $1 billion investment at a $10 billion valuation.

Meanwhile, Meta Muse has rapidly gained traction, achieving over 730,000 downloads in the US within days of its launch. According to Sensor Tower data, the Meta AI app reached 707,000 downloads during its first five days and briefly ranked second among US apps, highlighting its swift rise in popularity.

These developments underscore the growing role of artificial intelligence in everyday consumer activities. By automating phone calls, these AI agents simplify routine tasks and save valuable time. Such innovations represent a significant advance for businesses competing in the technology sector, where speed and convenience are critical to attracting and retaining customers.
