Muse Realtime Avatar gives Meta's Muse agent a face you can video chat with. Voice and video come from one speech stream, so lips, expressions, gestures and posture move with every word, and the reply starts in about 870 ms. Unlike talking-head avatars that only animate a face, it moves hands and full body too, and the character stays consistent from turn to turn. In Meta's live-call tests, raters preferred it 78% of the time over Runway Characters and 88% over HeyGen LiveAvatar.

Could you build this?
No Real-time, lip-synced, full-body avatar video at roughly 870 ms latency depends on proprietary Meta model access and generative video models that run on heavy GPU infrastructure. Vibe coding cannot provide that core capability.
What it would actually take: A real version needs access to a speech-to-video or avatar generative model, plus a low-latency streaming pipeline using WebRTC and GPU inference. Training or licensing the avatar and motion models and running them at scale requires ML research and infrastructure teams, and the exact Muse agent integration depends on Meta's access.
