Meta announced it is expanding its AI agent Muse to small businesses, adding integrations with Shopify, Dropbox, Slack, Instagram analytics, Facebook Pages, and Meta ad accounts. The launch follows Meta's new Enterprise Platform initiative, led by former MongoDB CEO Chirantan 'CJ' Desai, as Meta pushes AI tools into the enterprise market against OpenAI and Google.
Meta launched Meta Enterprise Platform, selling its AI stack — Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code — to businesses and developers. Former MongoDB CEO Chirantan "CJ" Desai leads the unit, reporting directly to Zuckerberg. MongoDB shares dropped over 17% on his departure and named Dev Ittycheria interim CEO. The move creates a four-way race with Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini Enterprise, and OpenAI for the same enterprise buyers.

The Verge's Hayden Field joins Decoder to compare Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots, two consumer AI agents pitched as animated mascots. Both descend from Peter Steinberger's OpenClaw, which inspired the industry's default design: a model in a harness driving a web browser on a computer. Meta gives Muse away free to flood the market, while OpenAI charges via subscription tiers and targets enterprise knowledge workers, raising shared questions about handing agents sensitive personal data.

Meta's AI assistant Muse is now available on Mac, where it can act within native apps — files, messages, calendar, notes, and mail. The Mac release follows mobile and web launches earlier in September 2026 that topped the U.S. App Store. The move lands amid intensifying consumer AI agent competition with players like Instinct, reportedly raising at a $10 billion valuation.
