Meta opens early access for new Muse AI features
Original: Meta opens early access program for new Muse features
Why This Matters
Muse's expansion into glasses and agentic computer tasks signals Meta's push to own the ambient AI layer across devices.
Meta launched an early access program for new Muse AI app features on September 25, 2026, following announcements at its Connect 2026 developer conference. Users can join by submitting a specific prompt directly to Muse, which logs their interest with the team.
Following its Connect 2026 developer conference, Meta opened sign-ups for early access to upcoming Muse AI features. The process is unconventional: instead of a traditional sign-up form, Meta posted a prompt on X that users paste into Muse itself — 'Can you let the Muse team know I want be part of the Muse early access program?' — and the app registers their interest automatically.
Features teased at Connect include a digital avatar for video chat, expanded shopping integrations and connectors, a broader Mac app capable of completing computer-based tasks, and integration with Meta's AI glasses lineup, enabling hands-free interaction via wake word. Meta is specifically targeting AI enthusiasts rather than a randomized beta pool, betting that heavy AI users will provide sharper feedback and spread word-of-mouth across competing platforms.
The strategy is a departure from standard A/B testing, and Meta appears to be using the early access rollout as both a product test and a marketing move — letting the AI app itself act as the enrollment mechanism.
