Reach Your Muse From Your Apple Watch

You can now reach your muse from an Apple Watch: text it, dictate to it, or call it from your wrist, and add a shortcut to your watch face that opens it in one tap.

What it does

The watch app is a companion to the muse on your phone, not a separate agent. The same muse, with the same memory and the same jobs in progress, is reachable without pulling out your phone. You can type a short message, dictate one, or start a voice call and talk as you would on the phone. That covers the small moments a watch is good for: handing over a quick errand while your hands are full, asking what is next on your calendar, or checking whether a job you started earlier has finished. Anything the muse is about to send, book, or buy still waits for your approval, and longer work is easier to review on the phone.

How to use it

1. Update the muse app on your iPhone to the latest version, the one that adds the Apple Watch companion.
2. Open the Watch app on your iPhone and check that Muse appears under available apps, then install it on the watch.
3. Add the Muse complication to your watch face if you want one-tap access.
4. Raise your wrist and open Muse. Choose text, dictation, or a call, and say or type the job in plain words.
5. For anything that spends money, sends a message, or books something, open the request on your phone and read the approval card there before you agree.

What you need

• A muse account, in a place where Muse is available
• An iPhone with the muse app installed and updated
• An Apple Watch paired with that iPhone, running a current watch system
• Your phone nearby, or a watch with its own connection, so the watch can reach the muse

What to watch for

• The watch is a way to reach your muse, not a place to review long or detailed work. Read contracts, bills, and booking details on the bigger screen.
• Dictation can mishear names, numbers, and addresses. Check the written version before the muse acts on it.
• A call from your wrist burns watch battery quickly. Save calls for short jobs and keep long conversations for the phone.
• Your account, country, and plan limits apply on the watch just as they do on the phone. If the app does not appear, update the phone app first and check again. The muse prepares, you decide.
